Picture "A Day at Homt M IN A FAMILY album, if the pictures are identified, it's generally with a phrase like this -- "Mother and Aunt Sarah at Yellowstone-- "une 10, 1950" or "Bobby and Julia -- Bobby's birthday party -- October 2G, 1952," etc. Usually ifs p somewhat special event that brings about picture taking for the album. I've always believed, however, that there were aj many possibilities for interesting pictures in the happenings of a normal day about home Why not devote a section in your album to "A usual day at our house"? Equipped with a camera, a couple of rolls of film, a few flash lamps, and what promises to be a normal day, you're all set From the moment the children arise in the morning, you're certain to be busy al] day long. You could start b/ taking pictures of them as the> dress and get ready for the day's activities -- Sarah as she brushes her teeth. Bobby as he struggles with his cowlick. Then there's the breakfast table -- as familiar a-scene a. you probably •tnow -- but almost never recorded. Getting them off to school * is mother routine happening which will make a good shot, particularly )f you take it from the front door as they go down the walk. Father, too, can be snapped from the same vantage point as he goes off to work. As for mother's own day, a cooperative neighbor could be in* vited in for a while to take a few shots of her activities -- perhaps one of her making out the shopping list, having mid-morning coffee, getting the car out to go downtown, even ironing or wash* ing the dishes. When the family again gathers, get pictures of evening activities that follow the normal pattern. If father reads to the children, helps them with their homework, or works on a hobby with them, shots of that would be excellent. So would one of mother knitting, as she watches a favorite program on television. Speaking of television, try sneaking up on the youngsters for a candid shot that will record the intense expressions as they concentrate on their favorite cowboy or interplanetary hero. Keep your camera handy the whole day, and try shooting a "day at home." There'll be more opportunities for good pictures than ytu'll probably have time to take advantage of. --John Van Guilder How's Your Health? "How Are You" is a form of greeting or salutation by someone , interested in your state of well-being. Although the expression is often loosely used, its intent is sincere, for it. really refers to ycur health. Because health is the normal state when all organs of the body are functioning and coordinating properly, your reply to the greeting w.-.uld be "fine," "very well," or "not so well,"' the educational committee of the Illinois State Medical society points out in Health Talk. Since ability to perform well cccupationally depends on the state of well-being, it is important to have a* physical examination at regular Intervals. The physical examination is the measuring yardstick by which the physician determines the health of the person. Through it the efficiency and health of the body, mentally and physically, are surveyed, and through it prevention of disease is possible. What is a physical examination ? To be complete, the examination should include a comprehensive case history to reveal facts that are often illuminating to the physician when he makes the medical examination. The examination also should include some laboratory tests, such as an uiinalysis and blood count. Very often, if there is some deviation from the normal, more extensive laboratory studies are necessary. Persons with moderate physical disabilities can, under medical supervision, avoid illness and injury more successfully, thus remaining more efficient economically and socially. Those in poor health can, with the same attention directed to the care of their health, frequently recapture enough good health to live happy, productive and useful lives. j A regular physical examination is an essential good health habit, which, with others, is necessary to maintain a normal health standard. Persons who do not follow good health habits^ are logical candidates for partial or complete physical disabilities. What are other good health habits: First of all, rest through sleep. And most people require seven and one half or eight' hours 'in each twenty-four. Three* well-balanced meals at regular intervals form another health habit together with the intake erf suitable amounts of water. While a- daily bath may not contribute to a person's health, it certainly makes one feel better. Through the physical examination it is possible to detect di-„ sease in its early stages, making it easier to be brought undejr control. A health examination also makes one conscious of his health, which is an excellent preventive against the fear of illness. This health-consciousness sh:uld be a natural interest in one's health, and not border or develop into a hypochondriac state, which is an abnormal condition in itself. A hypochondriac is one who is always ill, no matter what the physician says, and who will shop around from one physician to another seeking someone to confirm his own diagnoses. The hypochondriac is not a normal person, but one who wants to be ill. The hypochondriac changes his illnesses as often as he changes his physician^ Let a physical examination be your own insurance to achieve good health and efficiency. Armed with this health habit, follow your physician's advice to maintain health or regain a better state of well-toeing. Without your cooperation, the results of the physical examination will be meaningless. RemSjhber, to enjoy good health you must strive to maintain it. And--feeling well will help you to enjoy everything about you--oeoupationally and; socijflly.
