Arthritis Gains Are Three-Pronged

For 30-odd million arthritis sufferers, young and old, there's still no cure (nor even known causes) for this multi-faceted malady. But now the Arthritis Foundation is reporting it's possible to eliminate the pain associated with most forms of arthritis and arrest some of the more dangerous varieties.

Bone Up For Bargains In Jewelry Some of the ads you see for bargain jewelry these days may seem highly tempting, but it's a good idea to read the specifications carefully. Gold: Rated by "karats," Twenty-four karats constitute fine ("pure") gold. Ergo, 18 karats would be 75 percent gold; 14 karats would be 58 percent, and so on. Anything under 10 karats (41.7 percent) cannot legally be called "gold" in the U.S. (in England, it's nine karats). Now for some tricky definitions: "Solid gold" simply means the object is not hollow.

Unless something's

done, the cycle is handed down from parent to child for generations

By Charles Downey

In Los Angeles, a cop with 16 years on the city force returns to his three-bed- room home in the suburbs. It's been a long, hot day and the public has spit at him once too often. He's relaxing with his evening paper when his 10-year- old daughter brings in her report card. "How many times have I gotta tell ya, you little nitwit, you aren't going to amount to a hill of beans if you don't bring up these grades," the policeman- father growls after glancing at a col- umn of B's and C's. "I think you're just too stupid to do it!" For the following month, the policeman reminds his daughter how stupid she is. In Minneapolis, a $35,000 per year executive returns home to find his wife complaining about the whining mis- behavior of their nine-year-old son. The nattily attired executive grabs the boy by the shirt collar and jerks him up so his feet dangle. "How about me laying a fist across your face," the executive shouts. "I'll teach you how to behave!" The boy is never struck, but the threats continue so long that the boy cringes whenever his father is around. THE AMERICAN LEGION September 1982 y Of Self-hate

About 12 million Americans play chess. Indeed it has been called the most pop- ular of all games, with devotees world- wide numbering in the hundreds of millions. Fifteen thousand books have been written about it—one of the larg- est masses of literature on any subject. Most of those who play are dabblers ...duffers.. .what the chess fraternity affectionately calls "patzers" (from the German verb verpatzen, "to make a mess of). But a sizable number are good at the game and are incurable addicts. They play every chance they get and, not infrequently, when they ought to be doing something else. They eat, sleep and breathe chess. One such chess freak, the art director of an advertising agency, asked by another player what he did in "real life," replied amiably, "in real life I play chess." "It's the same kind of addiction as alcohol or golf or raspberry sodas," explained a devotee of the ancient game. Which brings to mind a favorite story told by chess players: "My wife threatens to leave me if I don't give up chess." "That's terrible." "Yes, I shall miss her dreadfully." The beginnings of chess have been traced to the Middle Ages and even, by some historians, to a few centuries before the Christian era, making it pos- sibly mankind's oldest game. King

Ferdinand of Spain played it when he wasn't figuring out with Columbus C^hess how to finance the latter's trip west to discover America. Napoleon played it, although badly. That's kind of funny when you consider that Napoleon was very good at war. And war—albeit Bloodless quite without bloodletting—is what chess is all about, its ultimate objective being to checkmate (read: "kill") your War opponent's king, though the game ends before his majesty dies. What's the great lure of chess? Says No cheating, no bluffing; Bill Abbott, a Tucson, Ariz., real estate man who has played for 19 years and just a game we can trust holds a national rating of master: "It's

High school graduates can join the Army College Fund, upon qualifying, when they join the Army. For every dollar they put in, Uncle Sam puts in five. Or more. So, after just two years in the Army, they can have up to $15,200 for college. After three years, up to $20,100. If you want your own free copy of the Army College Fund booklet, we'll be glad to send you one. Call toll-free 800-421-4422. In California, call 800-252-0011. Alaska and Hawaii, 800-423-2244.

The 1982 Boys Nation recently concluded in Washing- Boys Nation ton, D.C., after a week-long program highlighted by the election of officers, briefings at the Pentagon and State Department, and visits to Capitol Hill. The 98 high school juniors—chosen from among 30,000 1982 participants in 49 Boys State programs conducted around the nation this summer—participated in mock political parties, parliamentary procedure and election campaigns. In the photo at left, Vice President George Bush greets Boys Nation President Joseph M. Wiegand (center) of Pal- atine, 111., and Vice President Theron A. Buck of Caldwell, Idaho, during the delegates' tour of the White House. The young men—all of whom were chosen for the pro- gram on the basis of their scholastic achievement and leadership potential—also participated in wreath-laying ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetery, visited the U.S. Naval Academy and met with their senators and rep- resentatives at the Capitol. In addition, their itinerary included a feast fit for a group of growing lads put on by Cummings-Behlke Post 226 in Mayo, Md. For having been elected president of Boys Nation, Wiegand will attend the 64th annual national convention of the Legion in Chicago and receives a $ 1 ,500 scholarship from Educational Communications, Inc.
