"Waltzing In Water" Prevents Drowning Drowning should be extremely rare as a cause of death, says American professor Frederick Lanoue, inventor of wonderful life-saving technique known as •"drownproofing." Through this technique, so simple that even a non-swimmer can master it after a few minutes' practice, hundreds of lives have been saved. The U.S. Navy, recognizing its value, now teaches "drownproof-ing" to all recruits. Briefly, the system is this When out of your depth because ©f some sudden emergency, don't panic and don't struggle; just relax. The specific gravity of a human body flung into fresh water is .97 as against 1.0 specific gravity of the water itself, so you are bound to go under. But just take a deep breath and relax as you sink; You will not go down very far. Then, every five or six seconds, a slight movement with your hands will push your head above the surface. Take another deep breath. Then down you go again. This system, sometimes called "waltzing in water," works. It is far more effective, if you simply aim to keep alive, waiting to be picked up, than any normal method of floating, dog paddling or treading water. Powerful swimmers, having caught cramp, know how invaluable it is. Try it yourself first, then teach your family. You'll be amazed at its effectiveness. In a "drownproofing" demonstration, staged at Georgia Institute of Technology, the profes-- sor took forty-five pupils, some non-swimmers among them. Fifteen had their wrists and ankles bound, fifteen their ankles only, and the other fifteen went free. All then jumped off into the deep end. And as they bobbed up and*down the college's ace swimmers moved like sharks among them, churning up the water and making the surface both choppy and uncomfortable. All these water "guinea pigs," however, continued to submerge and pop up for air quite uncon-eernedly. On an average, every man, non-swimmers included, kept afloat for four hours, forty-three minutes. Thus a cripple, if he'll keep a eool head, and undergoes "drownproofing," can keep afloat for hours. HARD DAY - Next time you have a hard day on the job, think of Pat Judge, above. The St. Agnes soccer player is shown walking off the field after a tough game which his team lost. DECEIVING - Michigan State's Horace Walker (7 5) seems to be giving the O.K. sign for shot readied by George Lee. Quite the contrary. Lee made a two-pointer and sank a free threw when it was ruled that Walker fouled him during play. How Will Bowling Go In Britain? Can bowling succeed where baseball, basketball, lacrosse, ice hockey and other North American importations into Britain have failed? Can bowling really grip and keep a mass public so as to make it a major pastime instead of the minor it has proved with the games I have mentioned? These are questions being posed throughout the clubs today following the news that the Rank Organization is turning some of its cinemas into bowla-toriums. A start is to be made with two in the London area. The plans are that they will be ready next September. Therefore it will be quite a while before we shall begin to have any sort of answer to the questions now being asked. But, unwise though it may be, I am prepared to predict that bowling in Britain will become one of the really big time money spinning amusements and succeed where earlier games have failed. British prejudice, sometimes termed conservatism, has always been against North American games getting really established over here. Take baseball, for example. A great deal of enterprise and money went nto trying to sell sweat and swat over here at the turn of the century. It was thought it would be a good thing at the football grounds with the professionals finding it a profitable summer occupation. There was even a national league with teams operating on the grounds of Preston North End, Aston Villa and Derby County which, even to this day, keeps the name Baseball Park. But the English just wouldn't let baseball get its roots into their cricket steeped traditions. Our grandfathers had it that baseball was nothing more than a variation of bases, or rounders, which their grandfathers used to play. Similar prejudices prevailed about basketball which the girls play as netball, about lacrosse which is a cjeluxe pastime for the schools for young ladies and ice hockey which can never become established because the facilities for playing THE NEWSPAPER STORY - This colorful ceramic tile mural tells the production story of a daily newspaper. The work, 16 feet high by 39 feet long, adorns the new annex of the Zanes-ville Signal and Tjmes Recorder building. It traces the operation from reporter-photographer through editor, linotype operator, stereotype plates, composing room, press operation to newsboy hawking the finished product. here always economically too few. These are generalizations, of course, but it is a fact that not one single American invented game has ever been transplanted into Europe and vigorously thrived. It may be argued that bowling is not a game but an enter--tainment or amusement in the same category as dancing or all-the-fun-of-the-fair. Be that as it may bowling is an exercise, a pleasant recreation and a big money spinner in the U.S.A. The latest figures from the U.S. Department of Commerce show that there are now more than 6.000 bowling alleys throughout the land. Last year no fewer than 623 new ones were established, a fact which decided the Rank organization to launch its plans to back bowling as part of the campaign to meet the threat of television, writes Sidney Skil-ton in the Christian Science Monitor. Director of operations, Ivor Smith, have been telling me about these plans. A survey decided that the two cinemas selected for conversion were "naturals." The one at Golders Green is what used to be an ice rink and is therefore structurally comparatively easy for conversion into a 16-lane bowlatorium while the one at Hayes is situated only a hamburger's toss away from the U.S. Forces base at Ruislip. All the equipment installed at both centers will be American made. It will not, however, be made in America. It will be made in Dublin where an American concern has based itself and is daily expanding its activities all over the European mainland. The $300,000 piece of business with Ranks and more to come if and when the conversion of suitably placed cinemas takes place is a most encouraging start into the English market. Ivor Smith is visiting the United States in the next few weeks to learn the latest know-how in New York and Chicago, to study the highly profitable catering technique ' that has become an essential part of bowla-toriums, and to acquaint himself with how the American Bowling Congress is conducted. My friends over here were amazed when I told them the A.B.C. has a history from as long ago as September 9, 1895. It was founded then as a result of the closely related ninepins, or skittles, being outlawed because of the excessive rowdyism associated with it. It became lawful again simply by making it ten pins which it is today without the rowdyism. There are seriously conducted championships in American bowling, with four classes for men and for women. These are for singles, doubles, team and All-events. I wonder how long it will be before there are such similar championships in Britain and whether I shall be proved right in predicting bowling will succeed where all the other American imports have failed? How Can I? By Anne Ashley Q. How can I conceal scuffed places on shoes? A. If the scuffed shoes are rubbed with petroleum jelly before the polish is applied, the scratches will scarcely show. Q. How can I keep paint if the lid of the can has been lost? A. If a lid is not available for the paint can in which a little unused paint has been left, pour some hot paraffin over the paint, and it will not harden. Q. How can I keep house plants healthy? A. Try to keep the dirt loosened and cultivated around the house plants. Place them all in a tub for a shower bath about once a week, and occasionally feed them a little fertilizer. Q. How can I easily measure medicine by drops? A. If it is to be measured by drops from a bottle, try dipping the finger in water and moistening the rim of the bottle in one place. Use this place from which to drop the contents. The drops will come out quite evenly. You Can Depend On >n Dodd's. Get Dodd's at any drugstore.
