I never found 3 normal heart that failed during exercise or 3 game. One of the nurses knew of a case of a. boxer who had col- askcd her to bring the particulars at the next lecture. the infomaation that the boy had died while watching a boxing match. In the magazine ”E'squire," some months ago. George Mann in an article, Your Heart's Not Too Big, stated. "The disease called nth- lete's heart does not exist." Though some athletes have big hearts, this is not the usual condition as pro- longed athletics such as boxing. often finds .1 normal or even a ,small hcnrl present. it doesnt -have to ho large. the exercise has ilicrcised the power of the heart and this heart does more work than the an-erase because its mus- cle power is grcatcr.

Some years ago the oarsnlen who had rowed for Yale during their university days were ,found to have a loilger life span. and be in better physical condi- ,tinn, than the students who had ,not engaged in atlllctics. This may rislly be explained by the fact that the individual who engages in athletics is much more likely to be stronger pliysically than one who does not do so. Thus statistics show that athletes live longer than ,non-athletes. i "Exercise cannot strain a natur- ally normal heart.

As our philosophy professor himself says. the purpose of an arts education is to jolt the student into thinking for himself. My parents, who have not had I university education. call me I cynic. skeptic and a generally doubting, heartless person. I think the fact that I am going through for social work indicates I do have some regard for the feel- ing of others. I was once I very rellgloul person-now I don't know. Surely there would be no progress it we all accepted what we were told as gospel truth. It is evidence enough that so much of what was once accepted as true has been disproved. The motto of our college is "The Truth Shall 'Mnko You Free"-or is ignorance bliss? Surely my present confused state of mind will not last but is only a phase necessary to realize how little I know. Surely my education will fill the void it has created with other worthwhile Muriel Nlssen things. Or must I always wander with nothing to cling to? CAROLINE M. M. ANSWER: Since you are in n quoting mood, may I also remind you that "A little learning is a dangerous thing," and you. who are embarking on the great experience of a university education, have acquired very little us yet. The enormous fund of the world": know- ledge is at your feet, but you will walk ii long way before you do nluch more than wade about its edges. TRY THE BIBLE Now let me recommend a little reading. Your university's motto is taken from the eighth chapter of the Gospel according to St. John. Read it, and you will see that truth in this instance, as in all others, is -God! Knowing that God is the Truth will free your mind of all doubts as to your ultimate destiny and your immediate aims. To alloy the confusion that has crept into your soul through a sudden over- dose nf higher education. why not make an appointment for some good discussions wltfl your pastor? While it is true that knowledge has disproved rnany facts once held to be true, there are certain immutable verifies that have held since the beginning of time, despite countless efforts to prove them worthless. The fundamentals of your church. the integrity of your country, the love and devotion of your family, are things you live with clay in and day out, accepting them unquestionably. I know something of the university you attend. and nothing you will learn there will make you waver from these essential truths. As you progress in your quest for knowledge, you'll learn that education only emphasizes the necessity for faith in these basic things of life. Knowledge should be constructive. not destructive; use it to build your intellectual resources. not destroy them! death, though it. uas bnni of sha-fdamaged hearts is being develop- riows. but only with life.

But science has found two meth- ods which may be followed, both better than spraying on water from above. These methods are illustrat- ed. On the left is the wick method; on the right. sub-irrigation. The wick method consists of us- ing a burlap wick or one of fibre glass, inserting one wick in the centre of the flat spreading it over about three inches in diameter on the bottom of the flat inside and letting the wick hang in the water. The water then rnbves up to the soil by capillarlty and keeps the flat at a constant uniform moisture content. , In the subirrigation system a wa- terproof liner is used to hold water tmtll it rises through the soil above. If a. pan sufficiently large is used beneath the flat. in using the wick method, suffclent water for tcveral days may be provided, and it will rise only as fast as needed. ena- bling plants to be left unattended for a day or two, when necessary.
