is the start, and it must be the haroes'
part Of the stroke, for once the oar has
been started through the water the
weight OF the body and the momentum
gained will assist in keeping II moving
OF course the oarsman must not depend
wholly upon these, for the drive should
continue until the finish OF the stroke is
reached.
The stroke should be as long as il is
possible TO keep the full weight of the
body on the oar and when this can be
no longer done the oar should be quickly
withdrawn from the water. the feather

is ready to make a new catch, the most
important technique Of rowing is taking
place.
A proper recovery does as much for

Answering the questions as named
above: The slide is q seat on rollers
mounted on tracks which enables the
oarsman to obtain much longer
stroke than would be possible on a
stationary seat.
The stretcher is the brace which
contains the shoes and is equipped
with thumb screws, which makes II
possible to adjust the stretcher to it
long or a short man.
The rigger is the iron braces that
extend out over the sides OF the shell
and permit of a longer leverage on
the oar.
The oarlock is the swinging brace
attached TO the end of the rigger
which holds the oar in place. II has
a flat surface on one side against
which the back OF the oar, which also
is flat. should rest evenly while the
oarsman is pulling.

the boat looking from the coxswain's
seat up. while the starboard is the
right side.
| So much for the boat and the oars,
now for the terms denoting certain
actions by the oarsman. Feathering
is the dropping of the back of the

the place to catch. when it is gradual

ready to make the catch the blade
will be in position.
! Feathering is of great Importance
for two special reasons, one that il
lessons the wind resistance against
the oar when II is being carried back
for another stroke; the other is that
II enables the oarsman TO get over

BAPTISTS TO CELEBRATE
 FORTIETH ANNIVERSARY
ALL FORMER SUPERINTEND- ENTS TO PARTICIPATE IN
 SPECIAL PROGRAM.

The Sunday school of the First Baptist church of Conway tomorrow will celebrate it's fortieth anniversary. A special program has been arrang- ed, which will include addresses by all who have served as superintend- ents of the school since it's organiza- ton.
 The first Baptist Sunday school of Conway was conducted in a small frame building located on Mill street, near the oil mill. In this building all Sunday schools, church services, schools, elections and public gather ings in Conway were held As the city grew in population the various denominations built separate houses, and the one that housed all of the gatherings was turned over to the ne groes. The Baptists built a church on Chestnut street, near North street, which was used several years. The building now used by the Presbyte- rian congregation was built by the Baptists about 25 years ago and was used until five years ago, when the new edifice on the corner of Robinson avenue and Davis street was erected
 The services tomorrow will be of especial interest to all old members of the Sunday school Everybody is cordially invited to be present. The following program will be carried out, starting at 9:30 o'clock a. m. ::
