Nostalgia Bids Writer Give Account Of How Many Schoolmates Fared Old Clubmates Cherish Brother Priests' Story Vincentian Members Proud of Their Part In Early Life of Fathers John and James Albert A Saga of Bushwick Town Sung by a Loving Resident Many thousands of young men! who have left their white-collar jobs to enter military service have undergone an. extraordinary change for the better during the first six months or year of training. What is it they have now that they didn't have before they left home? Let me answer, in one word: Vite. Vite' (rhymes with kite) Is a coined work, not to be confused with the musical term vite (rhymes with beet), which means lively or quickly. Vite means preservation of the characteristics of youth, bet-ter-than-average nutritional condition as manifested in lower death rates, better growth and development, extension of the prime of life in both directions, material Improvement of the life expectation of adults, higher average level of positive health throughout the life cycle, greater pep, more vitality, the highest degree of natural immunity, an adequate fund of reserve power to tide over emergencies and strains, the resiliency of the untamed animal or the primitive savage.

It won't do you a bit of 'harm to stop and read all that over again. It isn't Just a lot of malarkey, let me assure you. Read It over slowly and tear it apart or ridicule it or criticize any part of it which you believe merits criticism. A few years ago there was a good deal of propaganda which was de signed to persuade people to acquire the habit of having an annual health examination, a regular medical examination first and in addition any particular tests the physician making the examination might deem advisable in the Individual case. The movement never got really under way.

Unless the average person has some ailment or complaint, he or she can't see the sense of spending perfectly good money for a doctor's examination. In the next place, when the average person has some trouble or decides his health is failing, he prefers to go to a doctor or a specialist and see whether the doctor confirms his suspicion, diagnosis or fear and he will be pleased if the doctor opines that it is nothing serious, just a little indigestion, nervous strain or something equally vague. Now if It should enter my head to have a periodic health examinationit never has and probably never will I'd hardly know what doctor to select for It. Occasion- 1 ally, and only occasionally, thank goodness, some reader asks me to recommend a doctor who will give him or her a complete examination, a health examination. I hope the doctor will not laugh at the client for coming to a doctor when there is nothing the matter.

But I never know. That's the status of the periodic health examination movement, as It appears to me. It has been my belief for years that this country needs a new kind of doctor or perhaps I should say a new kind of specialist, namely, a health specialist, a doctor of medi-; cine who has received sufficient ad-' dilional postgraduate training to entitle him to the degree D. P. M.

'Doctor of Preventive Medicine). Not a doctor of public health, but a doctor of preventive medicine, whose concern would be personal health, teaching his clients how to keep well and advising them about their living habits, diet, environment, heredity, giving them whatever prophylactic, immunizing or I preventive treatment they need, but not treating their Illness when they are ill. Yes, there is a preat field oi practice waiting for doctors of Editor Old Timers: In my recent letter In regard to the Vincentian Catholic Club of Williamsburg I touched on some of Its social and athletic achievements. Now I should like to dwell on the part this club playsd in connection with the ordination of two of its members to the priesthood of the Catholic Church. In the early days of this organization's existence it was customary to hold debates among its members.

The subject on one occasion was "Resolved, That the Colored Man Is the Equal of the White Man, all Things Being Equal." The affirmative was handled by John J. Albert, the first orator, the president, John T. Fitzgerald, took the negative. At the end of the debate the Judges decided that Mr. Albert had presented the better of the two argument.

Debater Now Father Albert The winner of this debate Is now the Rev. John J. Albert, a member of the Society of St. Joseph, having its headquarters in Baltimore, Md. This order docs missionary and George Trommer, the brewer, lived in those apartments.

On the next corner, Ralph Mr. Mena-han lived. Later this street was named Menahan after him. Mr. Menahan had a larye corset fac- tory down the street.

Two doors below home lived John Hylan, who became Mayor of New York. On Bushwick, at Himrod was Pope's mansion, where beautiful peacocks used to walk around on the lawns. A few blocks far- thpr rinwn was the home of Dr. Cook of North fame Hospital on Greene Ave. Bushwick Hospital was located aim faiviivii.

We are planning our fourth reunion why not let us hear from Public School 1 and her sister schools, Public School 7 and Pub-Ho School How thrilled we were when we finished our primary classes and would then go to No.

ETHEL BOYLE SINGER. 174 St. James Place. Williamsburg Had Good-Looking Men Do the people ever forget old Broadway from the 23d St. ferry to Hewes St? I was married May 1898.

I had a little difficulty in finding a nice floor In a private house. I finally found a lovely floor at 258 Keap St. $17 a molith, in fine order, decorated by Peck Yates, the finest decorators in Brooklyn. I had fine neighbors: Henry Co-chcu's father and family and later Hcnrv Corhru and his wife. Next door was the Young and Cuffmire family, the Ames family, Mr.

and Mis. joiin Ames ana boo. men there were the Wolf family, horse- r. ana iwu ciumieu, tiisu 1115 iiuiiuci and brother: the Gross family, a wiih; Gentile's fruit and vegetable store. Mrs.

Gentile naver weighed anything, just filed a bag for 5 or 10 rents. Five pounds of spinach, iu cents. How many remember Mrs. Miller, the butchers wile who cut meat like a man? Mike Duffey's ciar store on Broadway near Hewes was a hang out for Al Valentine, Fred Ring and Bill Powell, all passed on by this time. Docs any one recall Martin Heller, the roofer, his wife and sons? Mrs.

Heller was boss over the boys. Mrs. Ahrens, the candy store pro- prietor, was a fine woman and had a fine family. or does any one remember the Shoening candy store where all the voumi uiils stoDoed to act a hot rhr.enlate and meet the vouna men that stood in lront of the chjar store a lew doors from Shootings. Good old days in the Gay Nine- ties! The voung men were all good 1 I i 1 wcrk among the colored in the ors, their many friends in Brook-South.

Father Albeit was ordained lyn hold a card party annually. preventive medicine if our colleges or universities ever get around to providing such Instruction courses. Of course a doctor of pre ventive medicine would starve IX he hewed to his ethical limitations and depended on his earnings the first ten years. But I say we need a few thousand doctors of preventive medicine who have the zeal and courage to pioneer the field and kindly maiden aunts or wealthy parents who will support them for the first ten years of practice. These doting rich aunts are largely to blame tor the plethora of born or brass specialists we have In most of the older fields of medicine.

Medicine would be better off if a good many of these "specialists" from scratch were assigned to serve five or ten years In general practice somewhere before they hold themselves out to the public as specialists. That would be particularly for Mr. and Mrs. Wiseacre's benefit the Wiseacres are the suckers who think it is shrewd to pass the "ordinary" doctor by and go straight to the quack who calls himself specialist when they find they need medical attention. As In ordinary quacking, there is a tendency to stereotype one's advice or treatment in this field, too.

The ordinary quack, sooner or later, offers his Wonderful Nerve and Blood Bracer at the special price of six bottles for five slmoleans. I offer you The Seven Keys to Vite for 25 cents and a stamped envelope bearing your address. Neither the ordinary quack nor I can give you a guarantee or even a promise, but I do believe that nothing I suggest in the booklet will do any mature adult any harm and many a man or woman past 35 has assured me that the regimen laid down In the Seven Keys has brought back a tangible hunk of youth. At least they declare they feel and look that way, and if that is so, then I say they are younger. Remember, vite means "extension of the prime of life in both directions, material improvement in the life expectation of adults." Unregenerate, Incorrigible old ginks will dismiss this as a vain striving after the unattainable.

They will remain that way because they haven't the spirit to try it even though they know it can do no harm. Briefly the Seven Keys to Vite are: 1. Save Your Teeth. There to a great deal more to be said about this than there is room for here. 2.

Temperance. Need a health adviser say more about that? 3. Belly Breathing. Instructions are given in The Seven Keys to Vite. incidentally, belly breathing puts thousands of people to sleep every night, people who might otherwise worry and toss.

4. Nudity not nudism. Air bathing, sun bathing when it is possible. Wearing always the least clothing or cover consistent with custom and comfort. 5.

Iodln Ration. The year around. 6. Daily Exercise. A minimum of calisthenics or some kind of play or enjoyable muscular work is essential daily, for persons 35 and older, to maintain good muscle tone, firmness of flesh, good circulation, good posture.

7. Rejuvenation or Regeneration Diet. This corrective, protective diet, outlined In the Seven Keys, should be taken as the foundation for a health diet. And in most instances the diet should I be supplemented with a daily I ration of vitamins and minerals. booklet 'Preparing for Maternity." Failure do not believe the lodin Ration will restore gray hair to its natural color because my older brother, 25, has been taking it for quite a while and he has any number of gray hairs.

I am 20 and just beginning to show some gray hairs. I think it is from heredity. L. E. W.

Answer I have expressed my own skepticism here on numerous occasions when readers have assured me that their gray hair has had its pristine natural color restored after they have taken the Iodln Ration for a year or two. I have more faith in the anti-gray-hair vitamin, for I have seen the effects of that in many Instances. Send stamped envsJope bearing your address, for pamphlet "Care of the Hair and Control of Dandruff." Lifetime Training All for Naught Do you mean to say that the training I have had all my life, regarding wet feet, drafts, exposure lo cold, sudden change, was wrong and that I need not caution my children when they are careless about wearing extra wraps, rubbers, Mrs. V. L.

Answer Yes, Ma'am. I had the same training when I was young. So far as hygiene or health is concerned, you may and should spare your children all that nagging. If they are comfortable, enjoying themselves, without chest protector, heavy underwear, hat, overshoes or other burdensome clothing, that's all there Is to worry about. Of course if your kids are Imbeciles and don't know whether they are comfortable, you'll have to decide for them what they shall wear or leave off in any circumstance.

Of course, some of his predictions did not come true, as in the case of Meyer Loskowitz (the Peck's bad boy of the class) whose future worried him greatly, and who today is attorney and one of the most jucccssful real estate operators in Florida. A Social Service Worker Bessie Mashbir (Mrs. Keller) is doing some very interesting social service work.
