Health and Heaxity . . . Dr. Sophia Brunson Slouchiness When you look out of the window and see a person sloching along the sidewalk, with his back humped, his stomach carried forward and with a sink in his epigastric region, you unconsciously feel that his mental attitude is in keeping with that of his body. When the World War ended in 1918, the Adjutant General of the United States Army sent a letter to educators in which he set forth some -of the reasons why young men failed at the officers' training camps. Slouchiness was mentioned as the most outstanding cause. He wrote: "I refer to what might be termed a mental and physical in difference. Many otherwise excel lent men failed because they had developed the habit in high school and college of being indifferent 'to accuracy of thinking and acting." The bearing of an officer should be that of a polished gentlemen, and not of an indolent lazy tout, who slouches along as though his body were about to fall to pieces. This very appearance bespeaks loose and inaccurate thinking, or not thinking at all. Slouchiness is also shown by one's speech. Students, who have been through grammar school, have no excuse for murdering the English language as many of them do. If they are accurate in their thinking and strive for self-expression, they will endeavor not only to acquire good manners, but correct habits of speech. The two go together. Young men and women who start out to find employment can never expect to advance very far in the business world when they're slovenly in their bearings, thinking and speaking. They do not make favor able impressions on their would-be employers when they slouch into their offices and in awkward and incorrect English request position. One of the very great charms of President Roosevelt was his pleas ing, well-modulated voice, and a well-nigh perfect enunciation that NOTICE OF SALE OF LAND Take notice, that whereas on the twenty-fifth day of January, 1947,; Worth Frady and his wife, Rachel!

All persons indebted to the estate will please make immediate payment. This 6th day of January, 1949. D,AN W. WILSON, Administrator of M. W. Gragg, deceased bespeaks a gentlement of high cul ture. When the writer was a student at medical college, one of the medical college professors was a very small man. He entered the classroom one day and announced to the class that he was not responsible for his height, but that he was responsible for his bearing and his posture. He made the best of both, and as is generally the case, he not only strove for physical fitness but for high intellectual attainments. He succeeded in life and became an outstanding, as well as an upstand ing, man in his community. The Greeks strove for sound minds in sound bodies. It is an old fallacy that brains and brawn do not mix, or that the weakling is especially intended for intellectual endeavors and accomplishments. As a rule, health, physical fitness and intellectual prowess, together with moral strength, fit men and women for leadership; but the mental and physical slouches are left hopelessly in the race. DEVILED HAM LOAF Here's an idea for a deviled ham loaf made with leftover meat; grind the ham, mix with an egg; bread crumbs and such spices as prepared mustard, horseradish, diced onion, tabasco and catchup. Serve the slices of the baked loaf with a spoonful of cold sour cream. Fifty-two per cent of the feld spar production of the United States comes from North Carolina. In 1880 there were only 211 peo ple living in Gastonia. 'New Model Cars Will Appear At Early Date Detroit, Jan. 8—The public will , see a lot of new model automobiles i in the next few weeks—all emphasiz ; ing a new styling trend that began soon after the*war. i Shown to dealers and industry writers this week were the new 1949 Chevrolet and Studebaker models. Next week Chrysler will announce details of the new Chrysler, De Soto, Dodge and Plymouth units to be pub licly introduced some time in Febru ary. That will leave only Packard and Hudson to disclose what if any de sign changes are to be made this year. Most car makers look for a sub | stantial production increase this year. With or without the return of full scale competitive merchandising in motor vehicles, they expect to boost production by at least 10 per cent over last year. | That would mean a 1949 volume I of close to 5,798,000 vehicles. 1 . New Name Needed A man named Joe Hogbristle ap peared in court to have his name legally changed. The judge nodded understanding^ and asked, "What name to you want to take ?" "Frank Hogbristle. I'm sick and | tired of heai'ing people say, "Hi, Jo, 'whaddya know.'" Naturally | "My husband's face dropped a mile jwhen we first visited Grand Canyon." "Disappointed ?" j "No, he fell over the rim." VET'S BONUSES Nine states are now paying out $1,540,256,000 to 4,750,000 World , War II veterans or their survivors; six other states have appproved plans to give about $452,000,000 to ap proximately 956,000 ex-GI's but the cash has not yet been distributed and other bonus programs, involving around $640,000,000 have cleaed the first hurdles on the legal tracks of two more states, but they have not become final yet. The nine states already paying bonuses are: Ver mont, New Hampshire, Massachus etts, Illinois, Rhode Island, Michi gan, New York, Connecticut and Ohio. The total program involves a total of approximately $2,000,000, 000.
