forld War draft disclosed that
of thirty-t\
•Rf*
the
general average of thirty-two pejr
cent of the young men of this coun-
try at that time were either tem-
porarily or permanently unfit for
active service. ’ ,
“While those being called before
medical boards under the present
selective servic law include a great-
er proportion of acceptances than
was the cape twenty-three years ago,
the percentage of rejects so far re-
ported, despite the small sample
from which figures to date have been
^obtainable, indicates that an ap-
proved physical condition is lacking
in too great a proportion of the
young men called,” states Dr. Geo.
W. Cox, State Health Officer. .
“M this age group, in the age
bracket where the physical condi-
tion normally should be at its very
best, indicates a certain amount of
physical inefficiency, the question
naturally arises: What is the phy-
sical status of the older men and
women in America? In the present
preparedness program, this query is
important,” Dr. Cox points but.
While there is no desire to imply
that the general health of either
adult America or adult Texas is un-
satisfactory, there is reason to be-
lieve that, good as it may be on the
average, there is room for improve-
ment. Of course, it is not expected j
that physical qualifications for mil- j
itary service could be met by the I
majority of those of middle-age and |
beyond; nevertheless, it is not too
much to ask that the best physical
condition corresponding to age be
attained by every one.
Barring fundamental defects and
chronic conditions, the vast major-
ity of middle-age men and women
can achieve top-notch vigor, if lack-
ing it. Moreover, it would be wise
to maintain robust health not only
for the zest that will be experienced,
but for any eventuality that the fu-
ture may bring.
In all probability minor adjust-
ments only will be necessary to
change fa My good health into the
most satisfying type. Intelligent at-
