BIRTHDAY SHOW October 19, 1957

LAST YEAR because of the Olympic Games we had to forego our annual Birthday Show which has been regularly conducted for 25 years on the date nearest November 9th. This year we are setting the Show ahead to October 19th, because Bob and the Team may be leaving for the World WL Championships which will be held in Teheran, Iran, in November.

We will have a show worth going many miles to see this year with the best lifters and the best-built men in America in attendance and on the program. We urge all our friends to come to York for this get-together, full details of which will appear in our next issue.

The Mr. New Jersey and Miss Venus physique contests will be held on Saturday, October 26th, 1957, at Veteran's Hayes High School, located at Hayes Ave. and 27th Street, East Camden, New Jersey. All eligible contestants can get their entry forms from Hank Wayne, Sec.-Treas., of Pyramid Club, 627 Charles Street, Mt. Ephraim, N. J., or contact Lou DiAngelo, 961 N. 36th St., Camden, N. J.

MUSCLEHEAD!

(Continued from page 60) craves is admiration and envy to feed a starving ego. He doesn't realize that the average person looks upon him as a freak. and with amusement. He doesn't seem to hear the snickers behind him as he walks by with "lats" a'sail and "pecs" at half mast. If he does hear them he can't grasp what is wrong and trains even harder for those lumps trying vainly to impress someone. On the other hand the well developed man, trained by York methods, has the envy of all and is a credit to our sport and way of life. He is a man who makes others want to buy a barbell set and emulate him. He can put his muscles to use, feels better, looks better, and will live a richer life from having trained with weights.

You, too can be a musclehead, a boobybuilder, and a monster. It is up to you. It depends entirely on your own set of values and which type of instruction you follow.

Try letting HI-PROTEEN tablets dissolve in your mouth while training. You'll be pleased with the training energy they provide. Used this way, strength and energy is derived in ten minutes as HI-PROTEEN digests rapidly and is quickly absorbed by the blood stream. Muscles grow rapidly in size, strength and shape. Don't delay in adopting this wonderful training innovation.

The use of York Health Shoes will put spring in your step and shape the legs as no other exercise can. They are made in both iron and aluminum in several sizes for both men and women.
