The physical education expert 'whose remarks to a convention at West Point are provoking widespread discussion is a respected research assistant at New York University She should know what she is talking about when she describes a growing lack of physical fitness And so should Eddie Wojecki chief athletic trainer at Rice Institute know what he is talking about when he complains that young men of high school and college age lack physical fitness because they do not walk to school or even around the block The West Point speaker Miss Bonnie Pruden said surveys showed that many children got less than one hour of physical education a week Once more we say Pruden and Wojecki ought to know what they are talking about but they must be talking about children and youths in environments far different than those of our region Out here children romp and play until they grow as hard as nails Kids are so full of energy we can’t keep them quiet long enough to soften them It’s true that young men jump into an automobile to go across the street and hiking is not so popular as it once was but the lads we see are larger stronger and more filled with energy than those we knew in a former generation They may be weaklings as the experts say they are who acquire knee injuries easily because they don’t walk but they look pretty husky to us i ‘ " r Slow Down and Live ' ' In 1953 safety coordinators of 11 Northeastern states launched a slow down and live campaign with such good results that 24 states cooperated in the program in 194 The campaign saved 600 lives and achieved the first reported broad reduction in total traffic accidents since World War II Inspired by the success of the safety program the Governors Conference requested a nation-widprogram e in 1955 The campaign is now being organized and publicized with the hope it will be effective in reducing the highway death record It is no secret to persons interested in traffic safety that July and August have now replaced December as the month with the greatest number of rural traffic deaths The reason of course is that in those months the American vacationists hit the open road by the hundreds of thousands There is no doubt the summer vacation slaughter can be reduced if enough people can be induced to slow down and live Modern traffic can’t go at a snail’s pace of course but it must not be allowed to move at a pace that kills If caution and moderation are the watchwords more persons who leave home happily on vacation trips will return home alive and uninjured Los Angeles Times reports that representatives of the Los Angeles city government and of the Chamber of Com- merce went to the railroad yards last week to welcome the largest single shipment of industrial sewing machines — 800 — to arrive in the city The reason for the fanfare of course is that the big machines for expanding apparel factories points up the growth of Los Angeles’ needle trades - The community couldn’t resist making a dramatic publicity event out of the shipment and we don’t blame the boosters They really have something to talk about Statistics pertaining to apparel manufacturing reveal that in Los Angeles the industry has grown from 45 million dollars 20 years ago to more than 400 million dollars today The episode of the sewing machines is part of a now familiar story of western industrial progress but the swift to some of the older generation advance is who remember that if a salesman arrived in town to sell goods to the merchants he always came from the East — not the West as he often does now still-surprisi- ng ’Elks' Most Worthy Students This newspaper pays its respects to the Utah high school students who have emerged as winners of the Most Worthy Student Contest of the Utah Elks State Association We also commend the Elks Lodges and their state association for sponsoring this splendid competition In a day when prizes are awarded for so many things it is indeed fitting that excellence among students be recognized So we salute Ann Boel and Byron Fisher of Provo High School James Thorn of South Cache High Sandra Casper of Jordan High Marlene Yonk of Logan High Donna Nicholson of Provo High Lynn Benson of Ogden’s Ben Lomond High Maxine Orton of Panguitch High and Sakte Brunyer of Park City High who won in the order given the prizes ranging from $400 to $100 Miss Boel will compete in a national contest when the Elks National Foundation will bestow $28000 in scholarship awards May good fortune attend the young woman in that competition for national honors and scholarship rewards - t A Million Dollar Storm? There have not been many times in the last two years when a newspaper headline writer in this region had the opportunity to write that a “million dollar storm’’ had drenched or blanketed the community Now that a generous gift of precipitation has been received the temptation ’to allude to it as a “million dollar storm” is modified by the dismal contemplation of the traffic deaths that took place during the storm We can’t weight the amoukt of moisture which fell in a region much in need of that precipitation without also weighing the burden of sorrow that has descended upon the homes“of the dead and the injured There was a time when man surrendered to Nature in her more tumultuous moods and remained in shelter while the storm raged Modernman challenges the elements with his new means of transportation but he is not always victorious Certainly the number' of dead and injured in d traffic was a defeat ‘ storm-whippe- K tv Drew Pearson Japan Canada Won't Help In Fight for1 Quemoy Matsus r WASHINGTON (Inside the White House)— Here is why the President is so skittish about getting embroiled He has received a polite notice front Matsu Ichiro Hatoyama that Japan will not permit us to to fight Red China Japan said Hatoyama could not survive if W !
