Coach Helfrich has announced no

RICHMOND TELLS
OF CAL. SWIM
Mainland Man Was Oldest
Starter in Catalina Is
land Event
WAS AWARDED MEDAL

Echoes of the great Catalina Is
land swim, held in far away Cali
fornia last winter are brought from
that State by e. V. Richmond, a
Mainland man who participated in
that great event. Mr.. Richmond,
with his son, James NJ. Richmond,
returned from that State a few days
ago, making the trip by machine by
a time-saying route selected by
them.
Mr.. Richmond, well known in this
section as a swimming instructor,
was the only New Jersey man en-
tered in the swim, and incidentally,
was the oldest man. He is 81 years
old.
Leaving the Island for the Cali
fornia mainland with the other star
tiers, Mr.. Richmond covered ten
miles before he was picked up. He
was awarded a medal by the City
of Long Beach, and cash prize
OF SIS by Mr.. Wrigley, who spon-
sored the event.
He trained with those who enter
ed the swim before it was held, and
grew TO know many of them very
well. A large number of pictures
of the swimmers were brought
from California by him and are
now being exhibited in the windows
of The Pleasantville Press.
George Young, the youth who
was the only one to finish, was for,
tunate in finding bed of kelp
which buoyed him up and floated
him towards the mainland, Mr.
Richmond declared, in discussing
the swim When he was rested, he
worked his way off the kelp and
swan to the California coast, to
find himself the winner.
Young was fortunate in finding
the kelp bed, which might have
aided any of the swimmers, Mr.
Richmond stated. The Canadian
swimmer showed plenty of pluck
and courage before he finally reach
ed the California coast.

DANNY DEPAOLO
IN STOCK RACE
Will Drive on Speedway Track
In May Against
Fast Field
BROTHER OF CHAMPION

Every kid has an ambition to
some day see his name in the head
lines for some deed that makes him
stand out above his fellowmen,"
said young Danny De Paolo recent
~. as he contemplated his favorite
racing machine, at East Orange.
MY ambition is to pilot that car to
victory in the big stock car race
at Atlantic City, and then | am
| going to try my hand at board track
| driving if they give me chance"
Danny was serious as he planned
the future. Young De Paolo is only
a boy, but behind the youthful
grin that covers his face, can be
discerned a seriousness that made
him appear close to mans estate.
You know should be successful
as race driver continued Danny.
my brother is champion, and
| guess it is just in the blood
While Dan is only % years of
age, lie is already an accomplished
driver, and will undoubtedly figure
prominently in the stock car clas-
sic, his first big test behind the
wheel of a racer.
Born in Roseland in 1905, young
| Danny took to automobiles at an
early age. He got q job in a ma
chine shop as a sort of helper, and
it was just about this time that
brother Pete was making strides as
real figure in the world of auto
mobile racing.
| Pete soon rose to be the pre-
miere driver of the nation and in
1925 won the National champion
ship. He was looked upon as
sort Of god by the envious Danny,
! and when the opportunity came to
work in the pits along with Pete,
the younger member of the De
Paolo family jumped at the chance.
Here in the pits Danny learned
many of the tricks of the racing
game and whenever the chance oc-
Cured. he was out on the track
with one of the big machines. As
a result, the youngster learned rae
ing at an early age, and his know
| ledge only Increased his desire for
| a further taste of the pace that
kills.
Then came the big opportunity
that young De Paolo had awaited.
Up in East Orange, just outside oil
! New York City, was Nash agency
conducted by Robert R. Abrams.
| The president of the Nash agency
| was a race enthusiast, and when
word reached East Orange that a
stock car race would be held at
Atlantic City, the chance came for
| Dc Paolo.
| Abrams Immediately arranged tc
enter one of his Nash cars in the
race, and having been accepted by
the Speedway officials, his next
thought was to secure a driver
Danny was offered the job, accept
stilled i'll the blood of the racing
cd on the instant, and now is look
ing forward to fame and fortune in
the game that has long been in

Heroic Roman Figure

Cincinnatus was one Of the IA
yorire early heroes of the Roman
republic In the year 460 y. c..
he was elected consul, the chief eX-
ecutive officer of Rome. Two years
later, in time of great national
danger, he was chosen dictator or
supreme commander to lead the
army against the nation of Gauls,
or modern France. that was threat
ening Italy. The messenger sent
to tell him of his elevation TO the
dictatorship found him blowing his
little farm. He put on his toga, the
robe of a Roman citizen, to listen
to the reading of his commission,
and then he went to Rome ana
took command. He decisiyely de
feated the enemy, and l6 days later
he went home again TO work on his
farm.
