INTELLIGENT NON-CONFORMITY KEY
TO TODAY’S IDEAL MILITARY MaN
’’The Military Mind’’—you hear so much
about it. But what is it?
Probably it is the most overworked and
nisleading phrase evorto distort the pub
lic's idea of the Armed Services. To an
ambitious, intelligent young man it pic
tures a service career as a bleak life of
lockstepping conformity. !
Nothing could be further from the tru-:
th. Today’s ideal military man is the man
-vho uses his mind as mure than a filing'
cabinet for the rigid precepts of others.:
He thinks critically. In the words of a,
famous general recently retired, he ro-j
presents ’’intelligent non-conformity.” ‘
Discipline is an indispensable. factor;
i-ri the military; no nation in history hasj
eveP been successfully defended by a mob*i
But the disciplined man is not necessari-'
ly the regimented one. He- trains his mind:
to be tough, flexible, receptive to new]
ideas.’ Facing a critical situation, the;
solution of which can’t be referred to.j
texts or manuals, he tackles it with wits]
and logic—and cones out on top. (ccn’t

Common sense has long taught us that
living at a sustained pitch cf high ten
sion is injurious to both physical and
mental .health, how a noted heart specie
lis t, Dr. iAonry I. Russek, consultant to
the U.S. Public Health Service Hospital,
Staton Island, N.Y., has put cut a re
port invhich ho claims that job tensions
seem to h.ve a more important role in
heart disease than fat in the diet or
heredity* Significantly, the report adds
that bad as job tensions are, they may
not be as wearing on person as trying
to keep up with the pressures of modem
social life.
uur civilization enjoys more leisure
than any in history, but as Dr. Russek
warns, cur free time is. often too crowd
ed with regimented social.and civic act
ivities to make it a good antidote to
the emotional stress cf job pressures,
^n fact, many leisure time activities
positively increase the tension loan on
cur nerves, (con't on page 3 column 2)
