"If the citizens Of Maine do not
see her future possibilities, others
from outside do" declared Philip r.
Shorey, director Of publicity for the
State of Maine Associates at a mass
meeting held last evening at City
hall in the interests Of Maine public
ity. He continued, "The hour hand
of progress which first pointed to
the west, then to the south, has
swung to the northeast and nothing
can stop the inevitable path of prog
ress which has now turned to New
England"
Names future is assured--it has
been assured ever since it was set
tied because nature has been kind to
it. Due to it's topography Maine
stands unique among the States of
the Union. Unlike the south, 1t Is a
God-made land and not a man-made
state. With it's coastline equal In
[ length to one-half the coastline OF
the Atlantic seaboard and its inte-
rior lakes and streams and noun

we can start it right in the house.
Begin by sitting on the edge OF a
bed or chair. BE sure It is firm.
Balance yourself with feet off the
ground so your legs can move freely.
Many of the champions do this for
practice regularly.
Stiffen your legs at the knees, with
toes pointing slightly in. The legs
must be together SO the toes can
touch.
Now start moving the legs up and
down-not toSether-in short. rapid
strokes. The strokes are from IA to
IS inches. Keep the knees stiff while
doing this. You get a constant f1utter
out Of this exercise. You may get
the idea that there isn't any speed
or power in that. But there is and
plenty of it. Watching a champion
do it would convince you. If you
get a chance watch an expert swim
mer and see if he doesn't do just as

You get this stunt perfected on the

you're ready to try it in water. And
