The field is large, slightly rolling, but
very smooth. In the distance en-
circling the whole camp, are densely

but half hidden by the giant trees that
grow here are picturesque.
OF to the right across the Dixie
Highway, half a mile or more, is the
Polo Club, surrounded by the same
big forrest trees. By the clubhouse is
the tent city where the 139th Is en-
camped.
From this tent city the beth

their way to the air field and took
their places.

ring march and Colonel Fishback led
the regiment by in review, first at
a walk then as the regiment band
quickened its time it came by at a

mourning of the regiment. There
were no individual badges Of grief.
These are worn with blouses and the

With the second time around the re-

Instances are common where be-
ginners are drowned because they
get in a panic and their bodies nat
urally fail to respond in an emer-
gency. If those same beginners
kept their heads, they would prob
ably learn that swimming is a nat
ural function Of the body and would
be able to get to safety.
Method With Children.
with young children, there is
only one way to overcome this
handicap, and that is by keeping
them in the water playing around
and 'ducking and doing other sim
pie stunts until the fear is largely
dissipated.
With older people, merely keep
ing in mind that fear is the great
est obstacle to swimming and that
most drownings result from an OBJ
session Of fear should be helpful
1t is not easy to get rid of the fear
handicap entirely. but the knowl-
edge that 1t is the beginners own
worst enemy will result in an effort
to eliminate the trouble at it's
source, instead OF blaming every
thing on the body"
