See here, Swing-Shift Susie —
better be kind to that body of
yours, or your topsy-turvy life
will get you down.
That’s the sage advice of Dr.
Victor Heiser, author, physician
and traveler, who spends most
of his spare time now lecturing
to women factory workers on
fitness.
Though American women, he
says, “can and do adapt them
selves to any environment, cli
mate or circumstances more
readily than any other women in
the world—very often they bite j
off more than they can chew.” I
“In the first place,” he says,
“no woman should work over
five and a half days a week;
otherwise it won’t be many
months until her work slows up
to where nothing has been gained
by the additional hours.”
Night clubbing is another
health hindrance. Girls with
more money to spend now than
they’ve ever had, he says, sit up
half the night and expect to be
fit for their jobs in the morning.
His big concern right now,
however, is women who work on
the swing shifts. He believes at \
least two or three days should
lapse beteen changes of shift so
that normal adjustment can be
made to new eating and sleeping
habits. Also, the shifts shouldn’t
t
be changed more often than once
a month.
Work for women today under
modem conditions can combine
play and pay, says Dr. Heiser,
providing they don’t abuse them
selves. Even grandmothers, he
says, are improving physically
and mentally by return to daily
manual activities.
He outlines the following seven
fundamental health rules for
women in war plants:
1. Be sure you are physically
fit before taking a war job.
2. Eat wisely of the five es
sential foods: milk, whole wheat
bread, eggs and meat, leafy
vegetables and citrus fruits
3. Avoid excessive overtime;
follow sensible hours.
4. Beware of lifting weights.
A good general rule |is that
a woman can lift one-third of
her body weight
5. Dress sensibly. Long, loose
hair, loose clothing, jewelry
and high heels cause accidents.
6. Watch your posture
7. Don’t take your home re
sponsibilities to work with you
and don’t take yonr plant re
sponsibilities home with you.

“PERSONAL
j HISTORY”
By JOHN SELBY
AP Arts Editor
NEW YORK — “Personal His
tory,” Vincent Sheean’s first big
hit, changed the whole tenor of
correspondents’ books.
There had been plenty of cor
respondents books before Mr.
Sheean took over, but they were
stiffer, more on the model of
i Vincent Sheean
“Excelsior!” and Richaqd Hardb
ing Davis. Mostly they dealt
with military events, and not
with broad trends.
Fifth of A Series
“Personal History” was most
likely responsible for the cur
rent glut of books by young men
and women on the spot when it
happened. But now they also
tell of themselves, the current
that washed up the events, the
I I
background, foreground and fu
! ture. Its become a major indus
I try.
“Personal History” was to be
J the story of Sheean’s life from
the day be took his first foreign
job on the old Paris Herald down
to 1935. And Harry Maule
Sheehan’ s editor at Random
House, and former editor at
Doubleday Doran, thinks that
there was something symbolic in
the fact that the day Sheean
went to work over there, Musso
I lini made his march on Rome.
For now Sheean is a lieutenant,,
J colonel in the Air Force, and most
j likely he has been flying toward ,
1 Rome.
Colonel Sheean wrote “Person
al History” in this country, in
England, and in Italy. One of
the major hazards of publishing i
| Sheean is the fact that he writes
as he runs, and chapters are al
ways arriving from places like j
Genoa, Cungking, South Africa.
The Sheean books of most im
I portance are his garnerings from !
history, and they all have, Maule
j says, one animating strain. They
| are all Sheean against a back
ground of history; Sheean seeing
major events through the eyes of
great personages, but seeing it
from the standpoint of the un- ’
derdog.
“'Personal History” was typi
cal,” says Mr. Maule. ‘It was plot
ted as a fairly light book. But
as the chapters came in they
changed character, became less
concerned with the wanderings
of a young correspondent, and
more concerned with the impor
tant forces that the correspon
dent found at work.”
“Personal History” has sold
around a half million copies in
all editions. For me the impor- 1
tant thing about it is neither hte
writing, which is excellent, nor
the “story value”, which is con- '
siderable. It is the way in which
the book shows a good mind set
tling into a pattern. Mr. Sheean
is not a very profound thinker,
but he sincerely wants to know
and to understand. He is a man
of good will, in other words, and
he knows how to put his good
will into words. Most likeable are
the homely things; least likeable
are the occasional references to
imjportant people which appeard
tb be inserted for their prestige.

HOLLYWOOD — John Hodiak
(remember the name) is a rug
ged young fellow who looks con
vincing in the role of hardy sea
man. He can sit in a crowded
lifeboat, his brown hair wild and
his cheeks and chin covered with
, smoky stubble, and look like a
i fed low out of life—not from a
movie s,ript.
His is the same quality that
chap named Gable brought to
pictures, and already he’s being
compared to Gable, just because
anybody who is rugged, natural,
and modest without being self
effacing gets himself card-in
dexed under “Gable type.’’.
The omen-seekers will not
also that Hodiak follows the Ga
ble pattern in playing his first
important role behind a several
days’ growth of whiskers. Gable
did it in “The Painted Desert.”
Hodiak does it in “Lifeboat-’, the
Alfred Hitchcock movie which
Tallulah Bankhead from the
stage. If there’s a leading man in
Hit.hcock’s collection of lifeboat
passengers, Hodiak is it. It is he,
at least, Who intrigues the ro
mantic attention of the brittle,
polished and sophisticated lady
played by Tallulah.

There’s a story behind his

selection for the role, but Hodiak
has his own explanation: “I fig
ure if something is coming my
way, it’s coming—and this proves
i
At the age of 11, Hodiak, son
of a Detroit automotive worker,
decided to be an actor. At 14, he
was studying for the priesthood.
At 19 he had practically set
tled on professional baseball as
a career, with good prospects of
joining the St. Louis Cardinals.
He was an automotive worker
at the time—a job he was offered
because, in his school days, he
happened to carry for an auto
mobile executive. He was making
$45 a week in this job, and he
quit it for a $35 one in radio be
cause he suddenly made up his
mind that acting was what he
wanted.
He was acting in radio dramas
when an M-G-M scout came
along, arranged a test, and thus
put hi. on the contract list. He
played inconspicuously in four or
five movies (“A Stranger in
Town,” “I Dood It’ etcetera) be
fore Hitchcock began casting
“Lifeboat.” Hitchco.k needed a
Negro actor, and he wanted to
see a test of Canada Lee. He saw
it, and he signed Canada, but
he also got excited about the
husky six-footer who shared the
Lee test. That was Hodiak, w'hose
original screen test it was. made
in his radio drama days.

THE Bazooka, recent addition to Amer
igo** arsenal, is on anti-tank weapon
that can be carried by soldiers on foot
because of its small size. Usable in places
which would be inaccessible to larger
anti-tank weapons, the Army's new
rocket gun is officially listed as "Launcher,
Rocket, AT, M-l." Above, a soldier dem
onstrates the proper way to hold the
Bazooka, and the projectile it fires is
shown at the right.
