with the assured ending of the series
of shocks which have made the past
three years the greatest period of strain
that either he or his country ever en-
dured in peace-time. 1t is not certain
Just how close to August 10 is the
precise day that can be said to have
ended the long sequence of assaults
Somewhere between about July 10 and
this week is a day which, as definitely
and certainly as arnistice day at the
close of the war, marked the end of
this three years of economic convul-
sion.
How serious it has been is not real
ized even by those individuals who have
suffered terribly from it. The word
depression" is far too mild. The word
''panic' describes merely the separate
outbreaks of it, of which there were

354 of the worlds best winter ath-
leteS will parade, bearing the colors
of their seventeen nations.
Jack Shea of Lake Placid, holding
the American flag, will symbolic
amateur athletes of all nations as
he stands before the official plat
form and takes the Olympic anna
teur oath. He was chosen for this

IL The average big time
bob-Sledder has more courage
than brains, if you believe what
you hear at headquarters of
the Olympic winter games. The
dangerous course here, with
its sharp curves, has not en-
barraSsed any of the sled en-
tries and already several are in
the hospital, critically injured.
Contestants believe the run
is the fastest ever constructed
and Olympic officials are fear
full of the consequences. The
mile and half event was won
at the last Olympiad in 2:21,
while the same distance here
has been negotiated in 1852.
