Why turn an asset into a liability?True, the average Ukrainianwasn't born with a ''silver spoonin his mouth," but haven't wesomething more than tha t ?

Why should anindividual say that, "He is luckyto have a job." With sufficient'am-bitio n,' incentive, and determination he can get a position an deventually attain his goalwhatever i t may be. 'Granted, a man cannot ask awoman to be. his. wife, unless heis making a half-way decentsalary. But why should he relaxand say, "Well, I'm not makingenough, so I'll, just forget ab outmarriage." Wake up young men!Let the thought of marriage beyour stimulant and incentive tosecure better positionerWhy let insecurity frightencupid awa y? Why no t welcomehim?

Whycan't he do the same for you?.As Mr. - Dam er has said, "OurUkrainian couples have put offtheir wedding year after year,wa iting-in vain, for jobs to tur nu p . . .

|j|g|rVATCH YOUIJ HEALTH .H EALTH is defined in Webster'sPictionary as "the Btate of being hale, sound, whole, in body,mind, or soul"; but especially as:"t]be state of being free from physl-'cal disease or pain," According to the ^definitionhow many of us

rare really healthy?||&Sure we're healthy," we assure.'ourselves. We stand before a nrir-f jjip and"convinceourselves that wemust be healthy, otherwise we"would certainly look much worse. We forget, however, or probablygive little thought to the fact-that.we are becoming shortwinded; thatwe no longer can run up the sta irs.or'run after a bus without puftl-ing; that we feel tirea and wornout after a day's work;' that weno longer can jump, out of bed;.. in the morning, bright and alert. and feeling "fresh ea a daisy";..-that we are having stomach-troubles and cannot get alongv-.Without medicines; that we are lazy most of the time; that we aretroubled 'WroQ jtoj ^-Mfl^^ f> appetites;.. tha t ' we catch coldseasily. All these symptoms although they do hot seem veryserious must be corrocted im-dlately. Nature is. flashing;.. be*: danger signals that something-is^wrong. It is a good idea to takeI a hint and begin at. once to takegood care of ourselves, before 'itis too late. the strong shall inherit the..earth! Only the fittest-survive!. The weakling shall perish!"
