We have motéd that" the practice 1s * particularly prevalent in regard to Sunday School. The thought of the children hav- ing to walk seemg to sppal some fathers and mothers; 'it seems to appal the children, too, Or perhaps that Is the bribe to get them to go. Businessmen ride to work and leave their cars standing outside thelr offices or stores all day, The car stands outside. the house in the evening, so 'that it someone wants to mail a letter the car can take him or her to the nearest mailbox. : How little people walk these days {is fllustro*,ed by a Gallup Poll just taken in the - United States. It showed that 43 percent did no walking at all other than fnslde their office, store or work- shop. That might be a lot or prac- tically none at all, because so many people have sedentary occu- 'pations. Twenty-five percent walk- ed no more than a mile a day all told; 16 percent two miles, and the remalning 17. percent walked from three miles up. The trouble with sedentary occu- pations {is that they involve a lot of sitting at a desk or standing behind" a counter or at a bench, and the very nature of them de- stroys the mood for walking. The tasks that seem to be nice sit-down Jobs are often the most tiring. The results of this lack of taking a common form of exercise that "costs: nothing at all are found in overweight and a host of troubles that. send people to the doctor, There is only one way to conquer the disinclination to take exercise, and that is to force yoursell to -do ft; to get into the habit of walking more, Perhaps the tire and gasoline ra- tioning will compel people to do ~-more walking. It may be a blessing in disguise to many. [ Tough Australians leadin 8ingapore's defenders. Ely Britain Making s People in Britain are looking at the war through eyeglasses made from transparent plastics, the material derived from carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and 50. on, familiar to the public as ashtrays, hand-torches, wireless" sets and electric switchboards. This substitute is not being used glass 'but because it is quicker to mould the plastic material than to grind down glass to the requir- ed . measurements of the lenses; ~and speed, of egurse; is ¢sgential | in Britain's wartime industries. "The new plastic lenses are also being fitted for binoculars, sub- periscopes and optical parts in tanks. Optics is only one of the new uses to which plastics 'are being applied in Britain since the war began, Plastic gear-wheels | - and bearings are appearing in the factories: fire-spotters are wear- ing plastic helmets," and 10. ft, dinghies without a single nail are being. produced by moulding ply wood impregnated with resin.
