Chiropractic Group
Plans Examinations
For Spinal Defects
If you slouch in the couch, you
won't be able to keep your spine
in line. The one who speaks with
that beat is Dr. Ruth McCharen,
chiropractor, of Weslaco. She
said today that poor sitting and
standing habits make most of the
nation's youth look like human
towers of Pisa.
To detect such spinal misalign-
ments and posture defects which
may cause trouble in later life by
interfering with the transmission
of nerve impulses through the
spinal cord, she said, spinal ex-
aminations are being given to stir*
dents — kindergarten through high
school — without charge August
22 through August 27. These ex-
aminations are part of a statewide
"Spinal Check-up" program spon-
sored as a public service by the
Texas State Chiropractic Associ-
ation.
Appointments for examination
maybe made by calling Dr. Ruth
McCharen, Weslaco. Students un-
der high school age must be ac-
companied by a parent.

READ MARK 9:17-24
I can do all things through Christ
which strengtheneth me. (Philip-
pi ans 4:13.)
Once I went skiing with some
young people. It was such a beau-
tiful day. The trees were heavy
with snow. The limbs bent toward
the ground.
During a resting period, I noticed
two trees. One of them a fir tree,
had not been able to carry the
weight of the snow. The trunk had
snapped about six feet above the
ground. The other one, a birch
tree, its top bent to the ground,
had not broken under the weight
of the snow. When we shook off
the snow, the tree rose again and
stood as straight as ever.
Life can burden people. For
some, their power of resistance
breaks down. They are not able
to rise again. Other persons, also
heavily burdened, are bowed down
under the weight, but they do not
break. They possess an inner
strength which prevents their power
of resistance from ever reaching
the breaking point. They weather
the storms of life, rise again, and
stand as witnesses of a glorious in-
ner power. They know Christ.His
strength in them makes the dif-
ference.
PRAYER: Our Father, we come
to Thee for the strength which en-
ables us not to break under the
hardships of life. Grant us that
strength today through Jesus Christ
our Lord, We pray in His name.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
I will humble myself before
Christ who gives me strength to
rise again.
