average age of the recruit oi enlist- ment is 19 years weight is 130 to undertake the active duties of goes prompt ly into a a i nrag period during which it possible by the use of good food suitable exercises FISHBEIN and fresh air to bring him to a state of physical efficiency which make him fit to fight Before the coming of mechan-iied armies the test of a recruit's fitness was his ability to march fifteen miles in full marching order without undue fatigue and all of the training was planned toward this goal With the coming of mechanization however march ing does not have nearly as large a place as it formerly did in the soldiers program of work The physical training which Is given to the soldier is planned to increase the bulk and the general quality of the muscles of his body and thereafter to improve his power and mechanical efficiency The training ij planned to increase his physical and mental activity and his powers of concentration It is planned to improve the functioning power of his heart his ability to breathe deeply to coordinate his movements finally he must develop endurance There are all sorts of tests which determine whether or not a recruit has responded to training There are machines which measure the power of a group of muscles: others which measure the speed of response to a stimulus: there are tests of the capacity of the heart to function In general the quality of the muscles may be dete--mintii by studying those of the abdomen Recently Coloney Richardson of the British Army suggested tha! some special plan of examination be developed for studying the muscles of the abdomen in order to determine whether or not the recruit is in good muscular condition When the recruits first get the army they are sometimes slovenly in their appearance: round shouldered ard slack in their posture Frequently the muscles of the abdomen are allowed to sag and the recruit develops what is commonly called "big belly Sometimes the joints are stiff movements slow the skin poor in texture and lacking elasticity the complexion pale and the expression dull and listless It is amazing what physical training can do to change such men during six months They stand erect -h the chin and abdomen held in the joints will be found flexible and quick to respond to stimulus The cheeks are rosy the skin is improved by proper nutrition and the expression due to training become art All of this depends however on the fact the recruit is a normal ndividua! with a good cors-itution before he is subrr fed to the tram- CHANGE OF MORALS NOT PRESIDENTS IS I UFD Editor of The Bre Sir: Re cently I saw two pictures of President Roosevelt one when he became president and the other as he la today As I studied these pictures and noted the contrast was enough to break one heart What a load of responsibility rests and has rested upon the shoulders of that splendid man How deeply concerned he is as he observes the terrific storm ing this great commonwealth A world gone mad! What a terrible situation confronts him The burden of a nation rests upon him a nation and a world moving through a fog of tainty and insecurity and fughtful international turmoil The pres ident of the United b'ates looks into the faces of millions of unemployed millions hungry clad ill housed" broken in body and spirit as they turn to him to bring them into safely Do you not see the lines of anxiety upon his face when on every side are riots labor and political strife selfishness dishonesty Incompetence mediocrity the lust for unjust gain and the limelight" See him as he faces this appalling situation while the ill winds bring unjust and dishonest criticism false accusations opposition sitdown strikes and no one advances anything specific to help clear the situation We see labor arranged against capital and capital against labor and if you please labor against labor We hear the president slandered abused lied about We hear men at the head of large organizations hurl unjust Invectives and empty theories at a man who stands in gales which would blow them off their feet Speaking of dictators America Is overburdened with them But this is America not rmany where everyone does as he please regardless of consequences The nation Is torn with factional selfishness gieed and colossal incompetence Ijibor and capital must adhere to a more honest Just and unselfish conduct toward each other or there never can be a Christian state erected in America America must turn to Christian principles suppress her hates bickerings and petty prides Not a change of presidents but a change of morals is imperative May God bless our president guide and sustain him in his duties during these days of fear end ma hysteria 0 Modesto July 23 1940 LONGER HOI ES I Eve i' ARE HKII)
