Excerpt from "HABITS AND CUSTOMS OF THE ARCTURNS" copyrighted 2968 A.D.

Reprinted by special permission. "The thing that amazed us most about the Arcturns was their psychological similarity to 20th Century earthman, whose novels and art efforts are still studied with keen interest by contemporary scholars and anthropologists. Physiolgically they are quite different from our men today, or of any in recorded human history, their form being a perfect circle, their "skin" of a flexible texture yet apparently impervious. Locomotion is readily achieved by rolling wherever they wish to go, or at will a gas forms within their sphere which is lighter than their atmosphere and they easily float where they desire.

Communication is achieved through two eight to ten inch antennae which protrude from the sphere, though these are rarely shown. These magnificent organs are both "transmitters" and "receivers". Energy impulses emanate from them which is a form of speech more complex and of more infinite variety than man has ever known. One of our crew had a well developed telepathic brain center and we were able to have limited communications with them, though their thought concepts are so much greater than ours that the scope of our conversation was pitifully limited. But a far more important function of the antennae than simple communication is their selective sensitivity to the infinite variety of energies and impulses which so thickly permeate our universe. They are capable of perceiving harmonies and sensations of mathematical progressions which bring an ecstacy to them that mankind cannot even begin to comprehend. Thousands of generations ago the Arcturns gave up such primitive human aspirations as property acquisition, building, and personal creation (of the sort mankind has known) and for more milleniums than our earth has existed they have devoted all their existences to the study of the mathematics of the universe and to creating new harmonies.

It wouldn't seem possible that such a highly evolved form of life could suffer from the psychological disturbances so prevalent back in 20 th century mankind, but in spite of their zeal for physical uniformity, it wasn't quite possible that each would have the same development of the super-active antennae. Invariably, some individuals would develop more "beautiful, larger and better functioning organs than their fellows. Naturally the more poorly endowed would resent this and a demand was made in the name of harmony and decency that all antennae be kept pulled in or at least respectfully covered so as not to offend. The covering played havoc with the ability of the Arcturns to effectively express themselves, and their creative abilities come to a near standstill. The ultimate result has been a near vegetative existence for the entire species, and except for a few rare individualists such as the Arcturn with whom we communicated, few of them even express themselves at all, for fear of being destroyed by the others."

MEN OVER 25 IF YOU WANT TO GET THE MOST OUT OF LIFE, YOU MUST FIND THE TIME TO EXERCISE ! The adolescent boy and the young man who are so often "burning up" with energy as well as having limited responsibilities, find little difficulty in fitting exercise or physical play into their schedule. But as they reach their middle twenties, perhaps get married and/or develop a heavy roster of other activities, they offer the complaint that they no longer have the time for regular physical exercise or play. And they can prove this to you. But on occasion partly because they realize they need exercise and perhaps because the rest of the gang is doing it, on some weekend outing they may outdo themselves and the inevitable result is that they suffer so many aches and pains that they resolve never to indulge in such foolishness again. Amazingly enough, some barbell-gym owneers we know are as guilty of this as are some Wall-street brokers. The former become so busy showing other people how to take care of their bodies that they quite neglect their own. Even though the weights are immediately at hand, they just cant find time for a work out.

Barbells are just one of the many ways to bring healthful exercise to the body--certainly no other form of exercise brings such impressive visual results. But many folks find barbells boring and are really not interested in having big showy muscles, and this is certainly their prerogative. But everyone should be concerned with having healthy muscles, and these demand regular exercise almost every day or so. Every person who is able (and while he is able) should have at least a five-minute calisthentic program everyday which will bring into play all of the major muscle groups of the body. In addition every few days he should try to indulge in some form of physical recreation, whether at a gym, YMCA, his backyard, swimming, cycling etc. Violent exercise is not necessarily desirable or particularly effective, and of course can prove dangerous, though this should not be used as a lame excuse by those of us who know we are just being downright lazy. Even a pleasant walk hos considerable value and yet how many people feel they must take the car to go just a few blocks.

The man who cannot now find the time to exercise often later must find the time to be sick, to nurse rheumatic joints, etc. It should be realized of course that a lifetime of neglect cannot be overcome in a few weeks of wild activity, and those who have been indolent for a long time should begin their program very mildly, preferably under er a doctor's guidance if they are not a keen student of physical thereopy themselves. The little time invested in sports or exercise by the older man, besides being a lor of fun, will reward him with increased efficiency in his regular work. Life will become so much fuller that he will wonder how he could ever have imagined that he "didnt have the time".
