JACK AND JANE AND THE MOVIES

By Ruth Lucas Smith

Jack and Jane were twins. They were ten years old now and such good.pal.s. They had lots of friends, and often brought them to their home. They were feeling quite ex- cited because t ey had been in- vited to a. part over at Ted John-

son's house. Ted was having his

THE GUARDIAN.- CHARLOTTETOWN

tenth birthday, and his mother said he could invite ten friends. They were all to go over to Ted's for supper, then Ted's dad would drive them to the picture theatre.

when it was time for the movie every one thanked Mrs. Johnson for the lovely supper, since it would be too late to come back after the show. Mr. Johnson drove them over to the picture theatre. He bought the tickets. "Your dad sure is a swell guy", said Jim, ”to treat us all to the show."

The first picture was a Mickey Mouse cartoon in colour, and ev- erybody enjoyed it. The feature picture was very different from the westerns that are shown for boys and girls on Saturday after- noon. Bome of the boys didn't like it, The girls were interested in the beautiful clothes and the lovely furniture in the homes. They all had fun Just being to- gether. when it was over, Mr. Johnson took them all to their homes.

Jack and Jane were excited. They didn't. very often stay out so late and they were eager to talk to their mother and dad about it.

"Oh it was wonderful, Mother!" said Jane. "You should have seen the pretty hoitsecoat the daughter woi'e. And oh! her evening dress and all the lovely food. I had 3 big supper but it makes me hun- gry even to think about it."

”Too much kissing and being fancy for me." remarked Jack.

"How do you mean, Isncy?" asked Mother.

"Well, if you want to be like the movie that Jane thinks is so won- derful you should rush out and bring ice, and Dad should mix us a drink of something. Every house they went to they had a drink. But the thing I can't un- derstand is-why they didn't all get drunk?"

”You see Jack, it was a movie." said Dad. "Those scenes weren't all taken at once. And I'll wager they weren't as good company or as witty after they had a drink or two as they would have been without it."

"I think it was smart. It was so sociable and friendly," said Jane.

"Don't you think we're sociable and friendly when people drop in?" asked Mother.

"Well, yes," said Jane hesitat- ingly. "But what's wrong with cocktails any way?"

"Oh you're so dumb," said Jack.

"Now children," said Mother. "Jack, you explain what's wrong with cocktails.”

”Well", said Jack, "they contain alcohol, and alcohol affects the brain. You don't think as well or see as well or act as quickly after drinking alcohol."

"Dad, is he right?" asked Jane.

"Yes, Jane dear. I am compell- ed to say that he is right.”

"Sure Itm right, see! And the funny thing about it is that the person who has been drinking thinks he sees better and thinks he is smarter than he is," contin- ued Jack.

”Would one glass of liquor mat- ter, just.one cocktail, Dad?" asked Jane.

"That's just it. People who have become drinkers started out ask- ing that, too. If you never take your first one, you will never have to worry about your second one. Think about your heroine. the skater, who became world famous. She went to Hollywood and some- one entertained for her with I. cocktail party. And'what did she do when they brought the tray to her? She smiled and said, Please bring me a glass of milk'."

"Good for Barbara Ann," said Jack. "Let's all have a glass of milk and go to bed. I want to practice hockey in the morning."

"I'll serve." Said Dad- down, ladies and gentlemen. I'll

He placed the tray on the coffee table and looked at Mother. "How do you like yours. dear?" he said.

"Well mixed, James," she re"- pliliid. After shaking the bottle he poured her the first glass or milk. Jack Just hooted and Jane gig- gled.

"This is really more fun than the show," Jane said. Dad served everyone and then he said, "It is good to talk these things over together. Let us thank God that we can be honest and unafraid, and that we have the courage to say 'No thank you' when our turn comes." -

Mother read I. few verses from the Old Testament book of Joshua. "And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorltes, in whose land ye dwell: but as'for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

"And the people answered and said. God forbid that we should forsake the Lord. to serve other gods: Joshua 24:15, 16.

"And Joshua said unto them, fear not, nor be dismayed, be strong and of good courage. Josh- ua. 10: 25."

Then they finished their and went off to bed.

2. Why is it important to refuse the first cocktail?

. Senior -- intermediate Lesson October lzth-Lesson One IS ALCOHOL YOUR PROBLEM?

”Ciet on your mark!” shouted the starter, and a dozen young men went down on the startlni; line, with muscles tense, and ears and eyes alert. A hundred yards distant the judges tightened a tape across the tracks.

Then "Crack" went the st'arter's pistol, and in a fraction of a sec- ond the yoting men were away from the starting line. That is, all but one whom we'll call Joe. The others were two to three strides ahead before Joe got. start- ed. What. happened to him'b

To answer that question we need to know something about the human body, especially the nervous system, and what hap- pens when we get a. signal to start a race or to do anything else. The pistol shot, the red or green light, or the call to dinner, the psych- ologlsts call the stimulus: and the way in which we respond to it they call response. This stimulus- response combination explains much of our human behaviour.

We "pick-up" the pistol shot by means of the mechanism of the ear. Then by means of the most marvellous mechanism known to science, this stimulation is trans- mitted to the hearing or auditory part of the brain, and thence to the muscles of legs and other parts of the body. The human body is so wonderfully constructed that when it is in good working order all this can happen in a fraction of a second. In fact, in specially sensitive instrument is needed to measure reaction-time, that is, the interval which elapscs ” f . the time the stimulus is presented to us and the time that we react to it. ,

Now, reaction-time is something easily subject to experimentation in the laboratory, and a great deal of experimental work has been done on it under varying conditions. We have learned some of the conditions which slow up our reaction-time. Disease and injury may slow up the time it takes for an impulse to be trans- mitted along our nerve fibres to the brain and out again to some part. or the body. The presence of alcohol in the body is another factor which slows the process. It has been found by laboratory tests that the presence in the body of an amount of alcohol equal to that contained in one and one- half ounces of whiskey slows up one's reaction by six per ccnt.: if

milk,

to that contained in two and one- half ounces the reaction is slowed by 12 per cent.; and an increase of one more ounce slows reaction by 34 per cent. What happened to Joe was the result of taking a drink with alcohol in it before the race.

Here is the reason why athletic directors and managers and ex- perlenced athletes are so much opposed to the drinking of alco- holic beverages. Not only in start- ing s. race does one need to be able to react quickly: the same thing is true of hockey, football, baseball, and other forms of ath- letics.

During 1950, sports writers across Canada voted on the outstanding Canadian athletes of the half- century (1900-1950). The highest vote for an all-round athlete went to Lionel Conscher, M.P. At the height of his spoi-ts' career, Con- acher was I professional in five different sports. and he was A star in several others. He established an athletic record probably un- equalled by any other sportsman in any country at any time. At thotims he was in his prime u an athlete. Oonsche gave an in- terview to I writer in which he gave this message to youth who w to succeed in sports. "Tell them," he said, "that boom and brown don't mix."
