Democratic watchman. (Bellefonte, Pa.) 1855-1940, June 22, 1928, Image 3
= Bellefonte, Pa, June 22, 1928. Your Health, Hurry appears to be on of the ma- jor interests of civilization, said Dr. Theodore B. Appel, Secretary of Health, recently. To get a place safe- ly or to do a job properly are no long- er the first and only considerations. In addition everyone must see how quickly he can arrive and how fast the job can be done. And while this driving force of speed is largely responsible for many of today’s great inventions, it is al- mos trite to add that time is not to be had in any greater quantity than before. Indeed, quite on the contrary, the more time that is left for leisure, the less leisurely any of us become. It is one of nature’s little tricks ard paradoxes. The whole thing would be a huge joke were it not for the fact that a ‘joker is concealed within it. And it is this joker that interests the public bealth official. The joker is heart trouble. ‘ For example, an Englishman in- quired of a panting American friend, who with an expression of achieve- ment had caught the 5.15 train, ‘Why all the hurry?” To which the ex- hausted acquaintance answered, “I saved twenty minutes. The next train doesn’t leave until 5.35! “And what minutes you saved?” asked the Eng- lishman. The fast breathing individ- ual answered him in a most unex- pected and dramatic way. He dropped his head, gasped and forthwith died! And thereby hangs the moral of his talk. Though remarkable strides have been made in the mechanical world, the human body remains the same machine it always was. It has not changed model or substituted new parts. It was definitely made for one purpose namely, to live; and live ac- cording to specified and definite rules. While it has geared itself, by rea- son of its amazing adaptability, to the swift pace of ay’s life it still re- mains fundamentally tne same old body; and consequently possesses the limitations set down for it in the or- jginal modet. Men and women, there- fore, should give some serious con- sideration to this fact, which is so painfully evident to vital statisticians, public health people and bereaved rel- atives. . Speed and the absurd value placed on time that send men of middle age or more running like a school boy to catch a trolley or a train is foolish and may be deadly. The same speed that pushes a man into twelve hours of hard work and then leads him into amusements that rob him of his proper sleep is equally dangerous. Speed that does not permit a per- son time enough to go to a doctor for an annual examination once a year and to the dentist twice a year is also senseless. Speed that rushes to make dollars and limits life is likely to run off the track when he least expects it. Speed that does not allow one to live according to the fixed rules and laws of nature destroys life. What is the antidote? Simply this: Take time to take time—and live! If we could get wornout men and women to take the needed rest before utter prostration comes many lives would be saved. It is dreadful to see a man struggle along, striving hard to finish his task, and then falling in his tracks. I have in mind a man close to sev- enty, working at his desk every day, his face haggard, his lips white, all but crushed under his daily task. I talked with him the other day: “Go to Florida for two weeks, lie in the sun, get a lot of needed sleep and .come back to take up your work with renewed vigor.” “Can’t do it now,” he replied. “In June I'll get away for a good long vacation.” This man should take his vacation in broken doses. A quarter of it now and another quarter some other time, would keep him fresh and fit all the time. You know, I am telling you the gospel truth. You are nodding assent. But what will you do about it? Noth- “ing! You ask then, “Why are you giving .all this advice?” I am doing it so your wife will read what I say. She will grasp the importance of the matter and then, Mister, you'll take that partial vaca- tion right now! Whenever a man tells me that his wife reads this health advice, I know that he is saying to himself, “I wish these health advocators would get writers’ cramp!” But, come, now, why not reararnge * that vacation idea of yours? Instead of waiting until next summer’s va- cation, why not take a week right now ? If you do, you will get twice as much out of the three weeks you have left for summer. Think it over. It will do your wife good to have a little vacation, too. How about At- lantic City, or if you are country folks, why not go to the city for a week? When were you last in the old home where you were born? Give yourself a chance for health’s sake before you break down in com- plete exhaustion. In the summer season many people become sun crazy. Under a misdi- rected notion of the sun’s power to do good, they challenge its direct rays in a bathing suit hours at a time and - suffer in consequence. Centre County Girls to Contest for Gold Medal. Three Centre county girls are to enter the final declamatory contest that will decide the winner of the grand gold medal on the opening day of the annual encampment of the young peoples’ branch of the Pennsyl- vania Women’s Christian Temper- ance Union to be held next week at the Pennsylvania State College. They will compete on Monday night against three other girls from various parts of the State, each of the contestants going into the finals as the winner of a gold medal in preliminary contests. The Centre countians are Miss Beu- lah Harnish, a Bellefonte High school student from Wingate; Miss Marga- ret Borland and Miss Gretchen Mar- quardt, both of State College. Miss Myrtle Seeley, of DuBois, has charge of this contest. The convention will take to State College about 100 delegates from thirty-seven Pennsylvania counties. They will be housed in McAllister Hall dormitory for the duration of the convention, June 25 to 30. The aim of the convention is the training of delegates for citizenship and ob- servance of law. Included in the list of prominent speakers for the convention is Mrs. Ella M. George, of Beaver Falls, for twenty-two years president of the State W. C. T. U. She will appear on the program Wednesday and Thursday. According to Mrs. W. A. Broyles, chairman of the Centre coun- ty section and a member of the board of directors of the State organization, others to attend include Mrs. Lillian Trezise, of DuBois, vice president of the State W. C. T. U.; Miss Lena Dell Wiggins, Tunkhannock, general secre- tary; Miss Winola Jewell, Chicago, national Y. P. B. general secretary, who will speak Thursday evening; D. Lloyd Claycomb, Altoona; Willard Kratz, Chalfont, who will be in charge of the instructional course, and Prof. J. W. Yoder, of Juniata College, who will direct the music during the con- vention. - DeMolays to Visit Philipsburg Next Thursday. The Penn Centre chapter Order of DeMolay has accepted an invitation to go to Philipsburg, Thursday, June 28th, and hold a ceremonial session in the asylum of Moshannon Command- ery Knights Templar. In the neigh- borhood of forty members of the Penn Centre chapter are residents of Phil- ipsburg and vicinity, and a class & almost that many candidates will be taken into the order at the meeting next week. The local chapter, which was or- ganized under the auspices of Con- stans Commandery Knights Templar, No. 33, has now a membership of about one hundred and fifty and is growing right along. Married at Golden Wedding of Grand- parents. Mr. and Mrs. George H. Bitner, of Beech Creek, celebrated their golden wedding, on Wednesday of last week, and had with them on that happy oc- casion one hundred and eighty-four relatives and friends, which included their seven sons and daughters with their children. During the afternoon Sanford Huff, of Williamsport, a grandson of Mr. and Mrs. Bitner, was married to Miss Velma Boone, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wilson Boone, of Howard. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Da- vid Neilson, of the Church of Christ, at Blanchard, the ring service being used. Mr. and Mrs. Huff will reside in Williamsport. P. O. S. of A. to Picnic July 4th at Newton Hamilton. The Patriotic Order Sons of Amer- ica, of the Central Pennsylvania As- sociation, will hold an all-day picnic at Newton Hamilton on July 4th. The association covers thirteen counties and includes one hundred and fifty camps. The Newton Hamilton grounds offer splendid advantages for such a gathering. Located on the line of the Pennsylvania railroad the park can be reached by train or auto- mobile. Free parking space will be provided for autos. Meals can be se- cured on the grounds by those not wishing to be bothered with baskets. Dinners, 60 cents; supper, 50. Prizes will be awarded in athletic contests. The public is also invited. Restore Telephone Service in Forests. After one of the most serious and widespread disruptions of service in history, the net work of telephone wires which help protect the State forests have been repaired. When the snow storms of late April swept the State, foresters joined the thousands of commercial repairmen who worked for weeks to restore serv- jce. Unlike commercial telephone lines, many of those on the State for- est lands are necessarily in places difficult of access. As the snow came in the period known to be the most dangerous for forest fires repairs were hurried with more than the usual speed. Space Trees Carefully. Spacing of trees is something that cannot be governed by fixed rules, says the American Tree association. Street trees may be placed from 30 to 80 feet apart, depending upon the variety used. Catalpa and Lombardy poplars, which are not very commend- able for street use, may be planted at the minimum distance given above while sycamore and elm require the maximum distance. Harrisburg Office-holder Found at Lock Haven. William A. Moore, director of the land bureau in the Department of In- ternal Affairs, at Harrisburg, who had been missing from his office and home since May 18th, was found in Lock Haven on Saturday. Moore was last seen at the railroad station, in Ty- rone, on May 20th, and then appar- ently dropped out of sight. As he frequently made long trips through- out the State inspecting woodlands his disappearance caused no concern for a week or two but as time passed and nothing was heard either of or from him, his absence became a mat- ter of investigation on the part of his family as well as State officials. Moore was found sitting on a bench in the railroad station at Lock Haven and had the appearance of a man who had just awakened from a long sleep. His baggage was missing and all his money gone, but he had his watch and other personal belongings. When questioned he said that he had gone to Mt. Union from Harrisburg, on business, and the next day had gone to Tyrone. When he arrived at the latter place he had a severe headache and went to a hotel, signed up for a room and went to bed. That is the last he was able to recall until he awoke in the station at Lock Haven. Old Time Handshake is Greatly Over- done Says Hoosier Author. Declaring that the “old American handshake had been greatly over- done,” Meredith Nicholson, widely known Indiana author spoke before a group of business men at Indian- apolis on the subject of “The Courte- sies of Life as They Apply to Men and Women.” Elaborating on the subject cf hand- shaking in replying to a question from one of his audience, Nicholson decried the type of person who “paws all over you and thumps your back painfully” as a form of greeting. “The salesman who comes to you with outstretched hand without your tak- ing the initiative is a little bit pre- sumptious,” Nicholson said. ‘‘He should wait for you to indicate ‘how you desire to be greeted, unless your acquaintance is of long standing. The same condition should exist in the manner of greeting women and older persons. They should be given the privilege of taking the initiative.” “The best way to make a ‘hit’ with your best girl and her folks is to al- ways speak to her parents er grand- parents when you call,” he advised. “Before you become tongue tied and paralyzed trying to tell Marie how wonerful she looks step over and say ‘good evening’ to grandma and ask after her health. This is no joshing matter, boys, it works. Real Estate Transfers. Toner K. Dunlap, et ux, et al, to Allen A. Dunlap, et ux, tract in Ben- ner Twp.; $800. : George D.

These have become so com- mon in medical praetice in that city that a regular trade has developed and quite a number of people live solely from the sale of their blood. Many of them have been bled from twelve to fourteen times; the rec- ord is sixteen times. The Eiselberg clinic is the distri- bution center of the “bleeders;” from there they are sent to the various hospitals as needed. The “bleeding” trade is, of course, the last refuge of the impoverished. After about fourteen bleedings, how- ever, they find themselves “without blood and without money,” and the constant bleeding has made them in- £2pabile of heavy manual labor for e. _ The names of the patients whose lives are often saved by the blood trasfusions are kept secret from the “bleeders” in order to prevent later NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
