THE LIVE wma -if I 5 1 1- EIIIHIHIHIS Health and the Young American Ever since man has discovered ways of building new machinery and new meth- ods of building the things he needs, he has begun to grow lazy, to lose his initiative. This may sound like a lot of hooey, but that is what is happening to the young American today. War has proven that to us. Every day we read or see pictures where soldiers die-die because they lack the strength and abil- ity to get out of burning tanks, die be- cause they lack the ability to climb ropes hand over hand. America is learning that she can't live on luxuries and expect to build a body, physically able to meet these demands. We are learning that we canit stay up every night and expect to have a sound body, both mentally and physically. There was a lot of talk about gasoline rationing and other rationings, but, if we stop to think, we find that these are really a great asset to us. Through them We have left off enjoying all the luxuries and now spend more time doing those things which build up our body. America needs men on the land, on the sea, and in the air. She needs men who can stand the constant rattle of ma- chine guns and the drone of motors. Those men must come from the fac- tories, homes, and, yes, even the schools. Is it no wonder then that the schools stress the value of education and the physical fitness programs? They are the answer and the only answer to our problem because the building of the physical body must start with the young, yes, with those even younger than high school age. America needs you. Serve her by being physically fit. Make America free and a land of men physically and men- tally able to look out for themselves, whether it be on the fighting field or in a factory. What High School Students Can Do to Help Win This War If you want a good definition of all- outv war effort, look at the job the blind are doing. A good place to look is Brooklyn's Industrial Home for the Blind, probably the oldest shop of its kind in the United States. More than 350 blind men work in its shops, turning out war materials for the Army and Navy. Brooms and mops are an old story to the blind, but the war has brought them a new job-splitting mica, vitally needed for such things as condensers for radios. If the blind can do their bit to win this war, why canit we students of New- port High and schools all over the coun- try? VVe certainly have a great advan- tage over them, yet we never think seri- ously of how we can help in this great crisis. The boys in uniform are willing to fight to make this nation a safe place to live in. If they can risk their life to do this, we can certainly make some effort to help them and stand by them. You may think, Well, I am not old enough to join up yet, so I don't see anything
