It's fine for health
and for the figure
% Yh't1z BLYTHE

HE girl VINO cuts a smooth trail
through the water strokes her
u way to beauty. Swimming regu-
larly and in good form is relaxing and
rehabi!itating to the mind and body.
More particularly, swimming helps to
build fine posture into the body, re-
proportion the figure, coordinate body
movements. and make long, 1.-the,
rubbery muscles The spectacular
benefits that come from swimming
cannot be had in equal measure on
land. When you exercise in horizon
tai position, supported by water, ac-
tivity is easy, natural and well-coordi-
mated. Buoyed up by cushion of
water, you get the least shocks, jars,
strains or tensions from exercise.
So let us examine swimming through
the analytical eyes of Walter Spence,
holder of two world records in swim
ming and coach of many girl cham
pions and nymphs of the water ballet.
The first thing to remember, he
says. is to swim regularly and in form.
BY form, he means of course, pass
able technique. If you have already
acquired that, but are rusty at it,
practice to get it back slowly. Set
yourself first-time stint of one hun
dred yards or so, But increase that
limit gradually - each time you take
to the water. A good regular stint,
once you're back in the SWIM is some
where between 500 and 1000 yards.
Lessons for Beginners
If YOU are beginner, it is wise to
take few expert swimming lessons.
You will never achieve proficiency,
derive full beauty values, nor get all
the fun that is coming to you, if you
learn to swim with an indifferent or
incorrect technique. Moreover, if you
need to conquer fear - and most be-
ginners do - half the battle is won
when you have a coach to look after
you He will not only guard you
against beginner S hazards and build
up your self-confidence, but he will
teach you some valuable little tricks
to stave off panic and to keep water
out of your mouth, nose and ears.
There are four principal strokes
- back, side, breast and crawl; and
mastery of any one of them yields,
in general, the beauty dividends we
have already mentioned. But because
both the seasoned and novice swim
mer will want TO try out various
strokes, l persuaded Mr.. Spence to
catalogue the special beauty benefits
oi each.

KENT COUNTY DEFEATS
SCHOOL BOND ISSUE

A special election in Kent costing
about $1,000 resulted in 100000 of
school bonds being defeated by the
votes. $4,000 of this sum was to
have provided school for colored chill
dren, and the balance to build a
school in Chestertown for whites.
The latter was defeated by 432 votes
and the colored by 792 votes. Four
districts were carried by the opposi-
ton and five districts voted in favor
of the bonds. It is estimated that
nearly 5000 voters turned out and
cast their ballots. The registered
vote in Kent is 7,473.
The opposition to the new schools
came from Millington, Galena, Ken
nedyville and Rock Hall. Betterton
also gave 43 against the project.
Chestertown, Pomona, Worton and
Fairlee gave majority for the white
school, but not enough to overcome
the opposition.

Fruit Hors D'Oeuvres Lend
That "Touch" To A
Ladies' Luncheon

In every town, and in practically
every circle there will be found a
group or groups of women who set
aside one afternoon a week for lunch
con and bridge, the usual course be-
ing lunch and bridge at my house
one week and at your house the fol-
lowing and so around the entire num-
Der. Well, we do it in my particular
community too and it's really grand
fun and good clean fun though I've
heard many husbands wondering a.
bout it. However, aside from the
bridge, do think the luncheons are
very important things in the eyes OF
most all women and each has her
own pet desire to serve something
a little different from what the other
served. Well, let me tell you about
the hors d'oeuvres that were served
af a luncheon I attended recently
I've really decided that it can't be
served too often to suit me and with
summer coming on, I'm going to try
it on the family too. Here they are:

RADIANT LIVING

By Rev. C.. NJ. Griffith
CeciItOn, Md.


Having a few unoccupied minutes
on her hands, Mary ran over to the
neighbors for a little chat. Strange
ly enough, they got to talking about
religion.
"Do you think it is wrong for
Christians to get the blues?" Mary
was asking, feeling little condemn
ed for the pessimism that she felt
hanging around her.
81 don't believe that Jesus was a
man to harbor the blues" her neigh
Dor laughed. Don't you suppose
that some times we get wrong pic
ture of Jesus?" she asked.
"How do you mean?"
"Well, they say He was man of
sorrows and acquainted with grief"
"The Bible does say something like
that" confirmed Mary.
"Well, don't you suppose it could
really mean that the sorrows and the
griefs which He was acquainted with,
were ICdlly LIlC SOLLOWS oiLO 6LLSAo
of other people, which He was trying
to relieve them Off"
II hadn't thought of it that way"
II Away had the impression that
He was a great optimist. I'm sure
He must have had very charming
personality. You remember the Bible
says that the children ran to Him
and climbed up in his lap. You can't
fool children, you know" she reason

ed. "Did you ever wonder just what
He looked ike?"

I have often imagined He was tall
and dark, broadshouldered, with dark
chestnut hair and deep brown eyes,"
"You make Him quite handsome"
Mary continued, with a smile, "any-
way, I certainly would like to have
seen Him."

OIL ECONOMY
APPRECIATED BY
CHEVY" OWNERS

that the car is thoroughly broken in
but that it is no longer new" car
Hence the owners of current model
Chevrolets already are in position to
appreciate the oil economy claimed
for the car by its engineers, according
to ]. M. Crawford, Chevrolet chief en-
gineer.
With all commodity prices on an up
ward course and petroleum products
especially required for preparedness
training, oil economy in the operation
of motor car has assumed more i'm
portant proportions in the mind of
the average car owner.
Chevrolet is unique in its field in
having a specialized" four-way lub-
rication system, according to Mr.. Craw
ford. Commonest fabrication sys.
TENS, he points out, are the splash
and "full-pressure" types, neither OF
which affords the complete protec-
ton to the motor that is required
for maximum performance and pro-
lection at minimum cost.
In brief, the four-way fabrication
system includes the following:
First, full-pressure fabrication to
crankshaft main bearings and cam.
shaft bearings, the only points al
which full-pressure fabrication is de.
sirable because oil flow there is con
trolled solely by pressure and is moi
affected by centrifugal force.
Second, calibrated pressure ant
temperature-regulated lubricaton Il
the rocker arm shafts. This provides
positive fabrication of the rocker
arms with attendant fabrication o.
the valve stems, push rods, tappets
and cam shaft lobes.

of the connecting rod bearings, Great
ing higher pressure than is possible
with the oil pump and at the same
time minimizing the wearing effec
of dirty oil.
And fourth, controlled fabrication
of the cylinder walls, obviating tn
necessity of depending upon supple
mentary rings for oil control.
"This specialized fabrication" say
Mr.. Crawford, els a complete an
radical departure from the old splas
system, though retaining its desirabl
elements. Likewise, the best factor
of full-pressure fabrication are incol
porated. BY combining and modify
ing the meritorious features Of botl
Chevrolet engineers have produced a
oiling system that is superior in ed
ficiency.
"Chevrolet's reputation for oil ecor
omy is perhaps best substantiated b
owners of previous years models
who enjoyed oil economy not onl
when their cars were new but afte
they had travelled many thousands {
miles.
Periodically, at the General Mo
ors Proving Grounds, we stage 5000
mile durability runs, one of whic
was completed just recently. Durin
one of these test runs, the Chevrolt
engine required only "a LIZ quarts {
