"Pilot's Bible" Fliers of R.C.A.F, are Odvie ed by U, of T. Aviation Psy- chologlst to Wear Spectacles and Abstain From Hhaving Thanks to the initiative of Pro- fessor A. Bott, in charge of av- < fation psychology at the Univers- ity of Toronto, the flying pers- onnel of the R, C. A. F, is mak- ing use of a complete medical uide originally prepared for the Kazi Air Force. Based on scientific studies of the tremendous strains imposed on respiratory digestive and blood circulatory systems in dive bomb- ing and aerial fighting the book- let tells pilots just what they can stand and how their capacities to "take it" may; be increased through the right diet, exercise" and hygiene. HOW TO TAKE IT Among the greatest dangers in modern aerial warfare the book- let says are high altitude flying, centrifugal force, and the strains of long hours in the air. Flyers are warned against eating beang and other voluminous foods prior * to high altitude flights as they tend to produce stomach gases which may become dangerous over 22,000 feet but on long flights they are advised to carry unsweetened -chocolate and tea which stimulate the brain by in- creasing its blood supply. They are also urged to seek plenty of. vitamin C which prevents the in- flammation of the gums that re- sults in losing teeth during power dives. 2 So perfect must the blood and circulatory system be to with- stand the sudden directional changes that often make the" blood feel heavier than iron that even marked reddening of the skin resulting from exposure to the sun should be avoided al- though a proper tan is alright. Red skin is a sign that the cells have been damagea and poison- ous substances are being carried into the blood stream to diminish the resistance to altitude and --centrifugal- force. A forward crouch is (onsidered the best position to resist centrifugal froce while fighting. GREASE SHIELDS SKIN As a further means of protect- ing the skin pilots of open cock- pit planes are advised not to shave or wash the face in soap and water, practices which re- move .the greasy covering that shields the skin against ultra- violet .rays .which are particularly potent at high altitudes. Tumbling and other acrobatics are the best training for para- chute landings while every flyer who can increase his vision by the use of glasses is advised to do so. . Lieut. Col. A. A. James, Prin- cipal Medical Officer of No. 1 Training Command, R. C. A. F. and Wing Commander D'Arcy Grieg, famous R. A, F. Schneider Cup pilot are among those who ---- assisted -in the production of the- beoklet which was originally writ- ten for the Nazi Air Force by Heinz. von Diringshofen, Air Force Medical Chief of Staff in Germany, and translated from the German after Professor Bott dis- covered an obscure copy on the shelves of the New York Acad- emy of Medicine. This was trans- --lated-by Major Velyicn E. Hen-- i derson M.A, M.B., C.A.M.C. Pro- fessor of Pharmacology, Univers- ity of Toronto. Radio Pillow In many hospitals patients are : supplied with radio headphones, bY but these necessitate sitting up 3%. or a position that may not be en- tirely comfortable. A' new radio pillow, invented by an Australian and riow in use-in ap Adelaide hospital, does away with this. Tt is made of sponge rubber, in the middle of which is a receiving vs unit, and even patients with head and neck injuries who are un- able to use headphones can lis.

We want to be energetic angd peppy all of the time, and never le feel lazy or tired. We have a notion that healthy and happy people never become fatigued. . The truth is that they do get tir- ed periodically, but know how to rest and recuperate. They exper- ience normal, not chronic fatigue. Normal fatigue is good. It is part of normal, healthful living. It may be recognized by a general tiredness of the' body, which is dispelled by rest and sleep, and by increased nourishment. Every- onc who has known the joy of hard work has known the joy of normal - fatigue. * If men and women would only accept normal fatigue as an. ac- companiment of work or effort, and would get the necessary re- cuperation through rest, more serious forms of fatigue wouid never develop. Life would then be balanced. BREAKS IN ACTIVITY Plan for at least two breaks in activity during the day. Dur- ing each break, just stop doing everything for five minutes. Don't talk. Don't think.

Suddenly one of the men said "25," and the other immediately burst into laughter. When he had ceased chuckling he called out "121," and the c.her man now roared with laugher, This went on for some time. No sooner would one call a number than the other would laugh. The old lady, doubting the mentality-of "her two companions, turned to them and said, "Excuse me, but I dont see anything funny in shouting a number."

They describ- ed the photographs as the first successful series of pictures of the sunsets ever made. . They saw Venus as a thin sil ver crescent, the horns of which bent toward each other until the planet was visible as a delicate ring of light. Astronomers pic- ture Venus as a gigantic "dust bowl." .

In operation, a ship explodes a small TNT bomb. The current that explodes it makes" a mark on a rapidly 'moving tape. The sound of the explosion is picked up .by the distant buoy, which immediately sends outa signal. This is received by the ship and | causes a second mark to be made on the moving tape. From the distance between the two marks the distance of ship to buoy can be calculated. js Identity Game fore the-time-of playing arrives, ~ make a slip. of paper for each guest.
