CAMP BARNEY MEDINTZ
NEWS
by
Erica Meyer
Groups of campers lie in sleep
ing bags spread out around a
glowing camp fire. An ant ex
plores a green and charred green
stick with a bit of melted marsh-
mellow stuck on it. Various
colors flit in and out among the
burning loop. Pale yellow, red-
orange and steely blue colors of
heat curl around smoking
bunches of wood. Two coun
selors sit under a tree discussing
the day’s activities. As the smoke
winds its way toward the stars
a girl giggles at some whispered
joke. A hush begins to settle
over the campsite. Motionless
mounds indicate those campers
who are already asleep. A few
people still sit near a row of
empty sleeping bags. In low
murmurs they exchange jokes,
gossip, and opinions. Gradually
these people, one by one, go to
sleep. Amid black trees against a
blacker sky a bird sings his
chant. The only movement is the
flicker of the fire, and suddenly
a falling star darting across the
night. A silent figure sits watch
ing the fire. A sleepy breeze
wafts across the site and covers
more closely around tired shoul
ders. The Barney Medintz CIT’s
are asleep. Their sleepout is a
success. Tomorrow promises to
provide still rewarding experi
ences in camping.

Exercise Found To Be
“MASTER KEY”
“Sufficient exercise is im
portant to your blood stream as
sufficient motion is to a stream
of water. Deprived of activity,
both become stagnant,” declares
an article in a recent issue of
Executive Health.
Atherosclerosis, often referred
to as arteriosclerosis or harden
ing of the arteries, is responsible
for almost half the deaths among
today’s executives. Among the
many suspected causes for this
clot-forming disease, the article
continues, are heredity, diet, and
stress; but recent research indi
cates daily exercise may count
eract much of these risks.
What is “sufficient” exercise?
Sufficient exercise, which may
be the master key to the preven
tion of a plugged artery to the
brain (causing stroke) or to the
heart muscle (causing heart at
tack), helps maintain a protec
tive balance between your
blood’s two great opposing forces
... to clot or not to clot.
Recent research indicates that
you need from one to two hours
of exercise at one time! Short
exercise periods, as you find
time, will have little value in
maintaining the anti-clotting ac
tivity important in preventing or
halting atherosclerosis.
Additionally, tests showed this
anti-coagulant activity in the
blood did not increase propor
tionately after two hours of the
prescribed exercise.
Here are some “shalt not’s to
remember.
DON’T . . . try to remake
your body in a week’s time.
A gradually - progressive pro
gram of re-training, including a
workout in the Center pool, is
DON’T . . . make the danger
ous mistake of exercising only
on weekends. This is a common
cause of bursitis.
DON'T . . try to prescribe
your own setting-up exercises.
Touching your toes without
bending your knees will magnify
a “pot” . . . not end it! Worse,
you can strain your back or rup
ture the disc between two of the
vertebrae in your lower spine.
What kind of exercise
do you need?
Walking or swimming are
ideal, if you are wondering how
you can possibly find an extra
hour in an already too-busy day,
remember you can use your feet
and brain at the same time.
Walking for an hour promotes
excellent circulation in your ar
teries and that results in excel
lent circulation of blood in your
brain . . . ideal to stimulate
clearer thinking.
Many executives find away
from the constant interruptions
of the office, they can solve
some of their more perplexing
problems in their hour-long
walks.
One executive, who commutes
to his office,walks four miles to
the station. If you are not a com
muter, you can park your car 4
miles from the office! You can
get up an hour earlier and walk
before breakfast! You can take
an hour’s walk at noon instead
of eating luncheon . . . and do
your figure a favor.
One of the world’s great au
thorities, Dr. Paul Dudley Whitt,
states, “The disease (athero
sclerosis), at least in youth and
middle age, is not God’s will.
It is our own fault.”
NURSERY SCHOOL DAY CAMP

pictures. The children in Miss
Krick’s and Miss Gerson’s group
also made American flags and a
gala parade was held.

Jeff Balser Melanie Freeman

bus Friday, June 18, and were on
their way to Augusta, Georgia.
After checking into the Holi
day Inn, they met Jay Jaffe, the
Assistant Chaplain, who, during
the week-end, drove the girls
around in a bus supplied by the
Jewish Community Center in
Augusta. Their first destiny was
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Elliot
C. Serotta, where they enjoyed
a very delectable Sabbath meal
after the Kiddish. The hostesses
then attended services and a
social hour with the servicemen
at their chapel.
Saturday’s agenda included
morning services at the Fort,
lunch and swimming at the
Center in the afternoon and a
party at the Center that evening.
The girls attended Sunday
morning services and an impres
sive discussion led by Rabbi

the servicemen had the girls
join them for lunch.
Sunday afternoon the junior
hostesses headed back to Atlanta
after a fun but exhausting week
end.
