RELAXATION IHETHODS IN NAVY All SCHOOLS

During and since world War I. the whole world has been in an upset condition. The tensions we sufifer bring fatigue and tiredness. And so a number of books on re- laxatlon have appeared. all of them of a helpful nature.

In American Journal of Psychia- try, New York. Dr. W. Neufeid states that, in 1943. reports from flight instructors at naval training stations indicated that many cad- ets seemed fatigued. restless. sleep- less and apprehensive. Question- naires filled out by 3181 cadets at live preiliglit schools indicated

nervous complaints in most of thorn. States of excessive tension while learning to fly came to be recognized as a menace. and re- ports frcm combat zones showed that hiizh tension seemed partly responsible for loss of pilots and planes.

The relations of restlessness. in- somnia, fatigue. apprehension and rear to states of nerve and muscle tension has been shown by Dr. Edmund Jacobson. author of "You Must Relax." These symptoms can be lessened by methods of pro- gressive relaxation which can be taught to a group.

When a training program for the rclief of nervous symptoms and fatigue was introduced. live offic- ers were given a course in pro- gressive relaxation by Dr. Jacob- son. These officers then instruct- cd other officers and those in turn instructed cadets in classes num- bering up to 300. The course in relaxation was of 10 weeks' dur- ation. consisting of three periods a week of one-half hour rach. Had the cadets practised between lec- tures. results obtained would have been much better.

Tests at the prefliglit school at Iowa City on 983 cadets who had received relaxation training show- ed a19 per cent reduction of sprains. strains. fractures and other minor injuries in the test group as compared with a control group. Tests in these same croups revealed a 3 per cent reduction of days lost from injuries.

In three pre flight schools data were secured concerning the rest in bed of 140 cadets who had re- ceived relaxation training as com- pared with 190 cadets without such training. There was a marked de- crease in restlessness. The cadets who had received relaxation train- ing went to sleep more quickly and had less insomnia.

Lying on side. closing the eyes. breathing deeply as if exhausted and avoiding any purposeful move- ment is one method of relaxing and getting off to sleep.

Miss Prism was not very success- ful at keeping order in her class, or very popular with the pupils. One day she came into the room to find her class strangely peace- fui. All the children were sitting still at their desks. hands primly folded. Miss Prism couldn't believe it. Her jaw dro-piped in surprise and she demanded: ”How did this happen?"

A small hand went up. "Well." said a little girl. ttmidly but ex- Dectantly. "you told us once that if you ever left the room and came back and found us quiet-

Q. How can I clean windows very well without water?

A. First wipe the windows with a dry dusting cloth; then go over them with a soft rag clipped in kerosene: and finally polish with tissue paper or chamois. windows cleaned in this manner will not only look unusually bright, but will keep clean longer than wash- ed ones.

Q. How can I prevent milk from curdiing in tomatoes and causing indigestion?

A. This can be avoided by pui- ting a pinch of bicarbonate of soda in with the tomatoes before adding the milk.

How can I clean old soiled photographs?

A. Rub over their surface with some soft, white bread. They will clean very nicely.

"Use liver frequently." Liver is the only food given this special mention in Canada's,Food Rules. It has outstanding food value. First of all liver has more vitamin A than any other food. Vitamin A is needed to keep the lining of our nose. throat. and lungs in good condition. These linings are our first line of defence against harm- ful germs. Liver can help to streng- then this defence.

Secondly liver contains more iron than any other food. Many wo- men and teen age girls eat too little iron and are often anaemic.

Thirdlv. liver contains R great deal of riboflavin. Riboflavin is especially needed for growing child- ren. and it helps our bodv resist infection. It is needed every day so that most of it must be obtain- ed in milk. However. whenever you eat liver you may be sure. that you are having plenty of this valuable substance.
