A Helpful Shock
WIHEN was nine years old I
w couldn't swim n stroke and I'll
tell you what made me determined to
learn. We have bungalow at Bowers
Beach, which is small fishing village
on Delaware Bay. and we used to spend
several weeks there in the summer
roughing it,
The water was very shallow in the
bay for Il half mile out. This was
because of n sand bar. At the end Of
the bar was the channel which was
dredged for the passage Of oceangoing
steamers.
l loved the water then as I do now
and, although | couldn't swim, I could
float. l would rush into the bay and
float for several minutes at stretch.
One DAY when | was floating there was
sQuall brewing, and the wind came
up SO suddenly that | was swept swiftly
toward the channel.
To my amazcment couldn't touch
bottom and it seemed that my heart
stopped beating. Honestly, was just
scared stiff. Luckily my father had
teen watching me. saw my predicament
and rescued me.
1t was a frightful experience for me,
md as soon rs ! returned to my home
in Philadelphia ! sought swimming
instructor and took lessons.
A like incident has happened to many,
but If it hasn't to you don't wait for
1t to come.

BY GERTRUDE ARTELT

AN
National oA'"r''nh hois:. sr.mmer and Record
WHEN humidity and temperature
w are running neck and neck and the
perspiration is rolling down your fore
head and dropping off your nose. the
average person then is apt to think OF
swimming.
Occasionally when day from August
Is placed in the heart of June and
the heat Is felt more than ordinarily
because it IS premature, few are likely
to venture to the cooling waters.
This Is always followed by com
plants. Some catch cold and feel that
they are suffering penalties for swim
ming "too SOON" The swimmer rarely
catches cold. 1t is the bather who is
the victim.
Swimming and bathing are two differ
ent ways of getting wet. When people
bathe, they apply water to themselves
when they swim they apply themselves
to water. There is the difference, and
1t is wide one, too.
Perhaps it is because I swim all the
year round that l cant understand
why one should stay out of the water
in the winter months, and think OF
swimming only rs Il means of cooling
off. Pools are open every season OF
the year, but during the winter not
more than ten will be in swimming in
day:
Why Is this? The answer is that
the non swimmer Is willing to get
chilly doing nothing and one must move
around quite lively in n tank to pre-
vent cold. Swimming Is a great
sport, lots of fun and splendid exer-
else. Every one should know how, not
only as means of recreation but also
as a means of self protection. One
can never tell when an emergency will
arise.
CWIMNlING can be learned in two
~ weeks. Organizations guarantee
to teach you In certain definite
period. All you have to do is to
choose q natatOrium now, get suit
and be pupil:
Never Too Old to Swim
d DECENTLY lady asked me how
~ long / had known how to swim. I
told her l had learned when ! was ten
years old. ! knew what she was going
to say and she didn't disappoint me-
"Well, that is fine" she said. INV
one regret is that didn't learn when I
was young. OF course, I'm too old
now"
Such remark is foolish because
there Is no age limit to swimming. One
Is never too old to learn. The only
essential Is an active brain. It's a
natural instinct to like water, and II
it isn't the habit should certainly be ac-
quired.

Fred Lercher, well known Arvads
10y has purchased the Cash Meat
Market from Chas. Allis and has
taken possession. Mr.. Lercher is
we'll known in this section, having
lived here for several years. He is
an experienced meat cutter and un-
derstands handling the business very
well. A few months ago he had
charge of the shop for Mr.. Allis but
since that time has been working in
Denver. Mr.. Allis started the busi-
ness here some time ago as side
line to his large stock ranch i'll
Douglas county. He has been doing
good business but Of late his
ranching operations have demanded
his personal attention and he is
forced to return to the Divide coun-
try. He has not as yet sold his resi-
dence here but figures on selling it
ns soon as possible. The Enterprise
regrets very much to see Mr.. Allis
and his splendid family leave Arv-
ada and welcomes Mr.. Lercher to
the business circles of the town.
