“The more you stretch – the taller you get!”

Feb 12th “The more you stretch – the taller you get!”

Looks like we are stretching to see who will get taller – faster??? I think that if you stretch your arms far enough each day – soon you will find yourself getting taller?? The reason for all of this stretching is – that by stretching and doing the exercises that require one to stretch – you eventually – move all of those “FAT” cells that are gathering “POUNDS” from the middle of the body to the legs and arms and the parts that make you tall – and before you know it – you could end up becoming a six-foot man?? These are the kind of stories that I told my little brother TOMMY – and would you believe – he grew and grew some more – – to be six-foot and four inches tall!

The year is 1942 and we are – – – that is AMERICA is now in the WWII – and all of us – are doing our part – – for the WAR in our own way – – that is in our own young way, of encouragement! IN the background of this picture you can see the intersection – and when the sirens blew and the searching lights hit the night sky – we would go to that intersection and do our “cart-wheels” and have fun singing all the songs that we knew – like “God Bless America” and “Over There , Send the Word to Beware – that the Yanks are coming – – coming OVER-THERE!” One night during an “AIR – RAID” – we did not have one of the drapes pulled over all the way shut – – as a little “LIGHT” was seen by one of the men patrolling the area – we got a “knock” on the door – and our lights went out and in a hurry – we sure – did not want – – a “BOMB” to hit our house?? “How many are alive today – and still remember – all the thing happening in AMERICA – back when we were having “BLACK-OUTS” – even the BUS SERVICE drove without lights and they maintained their schedule – those were the days – back then???”
