May 1-7 Correct
Posture Week
Correct posture is one of the
most necessary cohppnents to
good health and emphasis of
this fact will be the keynote of
Texas Correct Posture Week
May 1-7 which is being sponsor-
ed by the Chiropractic Public
Health Committee of Texas and
by local chiropractors.
. Dr. George C. Fowler of Bart-
lett has been appointed chair-
man of the posture week com-
mittee In Bell County and is
directing the work of publicizing
the benefits of correct posture.
Postui'al defects often result
in disease since they curtail the
natural function of the nervous
sj'stem. Too often good posture
is reguarded as merely an asset
to good appearance and not as
an asset to good health Dr.
Fowler states.
"We believe it is fully as im-
portant to check the body pos-
ture as it is to check the teeth"
he said. "That is why we are
sponsoring correct posture
week."
