HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Seaforth News, 1962-08-23, Page 3Chevalier Tells How To Stay Young "Staying young is child's play -- especially when you have just finished celebrating your seven- ty-third birthday;" That, at least, is Maurice Che- valier's view on the matter, "But," he adds, "of course it all depends, really, on how badly you want to stay young'," Smile at Yourself in the mirror every morning) That's the first prescription for enduring youth- fulness from the mouth of a man who, after a full and active life, has never lost a single source of the vitality and enthusiasm he had at twenty. Maurice hasn't preserved Ruch vitality by passing his early years easily He started as a circus acrobat, but the prospect of broken bones sent him singing — to a job in a casino at twelve francs a week, just after his elevei,th ldirthday. And maybe he picked up some tips from that other ageless French artist, the fabu- lous Mistinguette, Their act at the Folies Bergeres became the rage of Paris. When he was approaching his fiftieth birthday, Chevalier took the turn that put him on the path he was to follow for the remainder of his life. The alternatives were clear to. hila then: either go on as bclore anis grow ole) carelessly like most other people, or make a sharp break with the kind of life he had been leading up till then. He chose the second alter- native, and has stuck religiously to a well -organized and strictly disciplined pattern. To begin with he always smiles at himself in the mirror, first thing in the morning. Then ,he tells himself that all is for the best in this best of all pos- sible worlds — or, at any rate, as things couldn't possibly get any worse, they can only get better: Next, follow Chevalier's ex- emple and take a big glass of milk half filled with mineral water. The future, they say, belongs lc the early -risers. Maurice Che- valier doesn't believe in rising at the first crow of the cock — but he never lolls in bed after eight o'clock, A good luke-warm shower and a vigorous head -rub will put you in shape for your day's Activities, xi you want to be in the same ink of condition as he is, at the ge cL sixty dr ninety — then to as he does. Take a regular dose of light physical exercise. Have a three or four-hour walk once or twice a week, for example. Breathe deeply. Step ftp the pace from time to time. "That's what Maurice Chevalier does. Food, of course, plays an im- portant role in keeping your body young and vigorous, But tet CITE APPRENTICESHIP — Stamp marking the 25th an- niversary of the National Ap- prenticeship Act will go on gale Aug 31, in Washington. EMBRACEABLE YOU — Al. though it looks like a hugging machinethis device is used for assembling transistors in- sidee a vacuum chamber at a plant in Norwalk, Conn. The operator puts her hands inside the rubber gloves and arms, shown here, inside out, to work in the uncontaminated cham- ber you don't have to go to a team of dieticians 10 find out what to eat, Here's what Maurice Che- valier recommends; In the morning; orange juice, coffee or tea with milk, thinly buttered toast — not more than two or three slices, Above all, er.t oatmeal—it's full of Invigor- ating vitamins, At noon; r a w vegetables, about a quarter of a pound of grilled meat, cheese and fruit. Maurice Chevalier's favourite dishes are oysters, grey or pink shrimps, and leeks bathed in vinegar sauce, At dinner -time: Don't overdo it. Avoid meat, but cram your- self with white cheese or yog- hurt -- within reason, that is! Do as Chevalier — give up those aperitifs, and after-dinner drinks, Here's another piece of sound advice: have a nap between seven and eight In the evening. Go to your room, stretch out on the bed with your feet slightly raised, and make your mind a complete blank. Put a wet hand- kerchief on your forehead, if you like. And be sure to get at least seven or eight hours sleep every night. In your fight against old age j,nd sluggishness, the main thing is to maintain a high morale. Maurice Chevalier will tell you not to let yourself go even when you are old enough to retire. Constantly improve your mind, as he does. Do a lot of reading. Train your memory. Before going to bed, for ex- ample, make a practice of open- ing your favourite book and memorizing a few lines. Thn try reciting them the next morning, to make sure you've learned your lesson well. This little trick may not seem impor- tant, but it certainly helps to keep your mind in trim. Here's a last tip. Bathe your feet three times a week in a pan of hot water which con- tains a teaspoonful of camphor- ated alcohol. This little "exer- cise" is good for the circulation and speeds up the irrigation of the cerebral tissues, That's how Maurice Chevalier does it. And if you want to be young at seventy-three, it's ad- vice worth remembering. • ttllslNG THE WIND — Pat Brooks, seated, and his friend, Mike Mah, contrived to build this vehicle with the base of a power lawnmower, a mast made from a boat oar and a plastic sheet for a sail. Emperor Penguins And T olr Eggs At the time the egg is bald the adult birds have been without a scrap of food for two months or more, a challenging elyeum- stanee- just before the onset of winter. Food must be had, and because of efforts already put forth the female is the first to get it, The egg is now passed to the male, who has the same means of warming it as the fe- male, but considerably less skill, But Mother is not off on a holiday. The sea, once a few hundred yards away, is now widely frozen and the ice edge is sixty miles or more distant. It is a long journey for a hungry penguin. , , . Members of the French party attempted to follow this winter migration of the fe- males, but the ice was too dan- gerous in the poor light, the risks to human life too great. Thus there is another gap in our knowledge of the life cycle of this enigmatic bird, Winter has now descended on the rookery and those brave birds staying on with the eggs face severe conditions. The mar- velous down beneath their outer feathers is an efficient barrier against the cold. But the bliz- zard is a trial they cannot face alone. When a storm threatens —the penguins have an uncanny weather sense and always know ahead of time when it is going to blow—they slowly, clumsily (because of the eggs) move to- gether to form a testndo, a living shield of tightly packed bodies, It is roughly circular in shape, the outer birds standing with their backs outward, the inner birds with heads down and shoul- ders interlocked; nothing will move them until the blizzard dies. , .. At the worst times dur- ing the winter at Point Geologie, all six thousand wintering birds formed up into a single testndo, During the severe winter month of July, approximately sixty- three days after the eggs have been laid, the hatching out be- gins, In general shape the new chick resembles a species of pear. It is about six inches high (when it gains its shaky feet), is clothed in soft down of an all-over gray, and has broad white rings about its black eyes, which give it a comical owlish appearance. The father may have to preside at the hatching out. But more often than not the mother is back from her feeding expedition. . The males, now thin and ragged looking after as long as five months without food, leave the rookery at last and undertake an expedition of their own to- ward the sea. The chicks grow in size and strength and gradual- , ly begin their own unsteady ex- plorations of the rookery. As their development proceeds, other adult birds may leave. The chicks are then gathered into a number of "nursery" groups tended by a few adult birds. When a storm breaks, familiar tactics are resorted to; the chicks are herded together and protect- ed by a ring of adult birds, -- From "Antarctic -Front"Antarctic World," by John Euler, Communism Means A Diet Of Terror All totalitarian regimes term themselves "People's Republics" or something equivalent. By this camouflage they attempt to make it seem that their primary ob- jective is to advance the welfare of the masses, whereas the cap- italistic states exist to provide luxurious living for the wealthy few, What's the truth of the matter? Well, not long ago Fidel Castro, a connfirmed Marxist, imposed the most stringent kind of ration- ing on the Cuban people. Soviet Russia,' for all of its vast land area and population has an acute food problem, as no less an au- thority than Khrushehev has made clear in public addresses. And in Red China, according to Stewart Alsop, the people are actually slowly starving — and they're pitifully short of other neeeesitie9 than food. He writes: Cloth . , . is ration- ed at the rate of three or four feet per year ... A single chick- en costs about one-fifth of a heavy urban worker's monthly wage and one wadded coverlet costs a month - and - a -. half's wages." . . This is what communism, for all its empty glowing premises, gives the people while supple- menting it with a diet of terror and oppression.—The Desert Sun (Palm Springs, Calif,) How Can 1?

QUINN LUMBER — GE 2-1161 MA[TLLONNDON ONTC.N R Rats Show Effects Of Alcohol Many motorists believe that if they have had too much alcohol, a cup of black coffee will sober them up. But experiments show that this may be a highly danger- ous fallacy, Pharmacologists at the Indiana University medical school in In- dianapolis experimented with rats to test the effect of caffeine on mental perceptions after an intake of alcohol, The results astonished them. Professor Francis W. Hughes and his colleagues impaired the thought processes of the rats by alcohol. One group was then given caffeine, and the other group left in its alcoholic stupor. But each group was put into a compartment which set its mem- bers the same problems or intel- ligence tests, The rats had the choice of two doorways, Through one they could move unhurt; through the other there was a tiny room whose flooring would give them a series of electric shocks. Surprisingly, the rats which had taken alcohol only were the first to recover their wits. Those treated with caffeine continued behaving "silly" in the shock room and took far longer to un- derstand their predicament and move to a safe spot. Professor Hughes has naw ex- tended his researches to human beings. His findings will prob- ably show that coffee lengthens, rather than shortens, the recov- ery time after intake of alcohol.
