Forget Dignity.
And You'll Be
He aI+hier
BY IDA JEAN KAN

FOR PROOF that the aver
age person of 30 or Whereabouts
gives up all thought of partici-
pating in sports and turns into
a byStander, no statistics are
needed.
All that is necessary is to
stroll past the Radio City skat-
ing rink, where the kibitzers on
the sidewalk so far outnumber
the performers that it would
probably be more lucrative to
let the skaters in free and
charge a dime to look on.
II is true there is something
mesmeric in the sight of a small
group of men, women and chill
dren Waiting gracefully about
on a circle Of ice with bustling
Manhattan, intent on business,
as the backdrop. And / will
admit it is not surprising the
average spectator feels no par
ticular urge to get out there on
the ice and shine.
Stoeey Attitude
There is no spot on earth bet
ter equipped to give the novice
an inferiority complex, as l can
tell you. 1t is practically a star
performance. with fancy CO.'S
tunes. professional footwork,
and an audience that Sonia
Henie would appreciate. Any
one who just skates around is
certain to feel like a back num-
Der.
But. fortunat ely. this
logged determination not to be
conspicuous extends to most
sports activities. even where
there Is no audience, and it
isn't healthy.
We are too prone to worry
about how we look 10 others
and we don't take any chances
with our dignity. So we get
soft and stodgy looking, and
miss a lot of fun in the bargain.
Outdoor Activity
Winter is a grand season for
outdoor activity of some kind.
If you don't do anything but
wa, it's better than at any
other time of the year. When
the snow is on the ground, you
exert yourself more and bring
more muscles into play. But, of
course, you need a pair of low
heel shoes with galoshes to
match. You'll not only get no.
where but you risk a wrenched
ankle lettering around in high
heels in the snow.
Shoveling the snow off your
walk can be chalked up as good
exercise as well as civic service.
And, in your lighter moments,
you can always get out and
slide down-hill-the ride down
is exhilarating, the walk up a
good workout for your lazy
muscles.
If you are in far condition, it
may not be too late for you to
learn to skate or ski. Let me
put II on record that I did see
one impressive gentleman Of so
evidently a banker or success
full broker-taking lessons at
Radio City. He was doing all
right. What's more, he seemed
to be having fun.
So don't give in too much TO
your dignity. If you do. you will
grow old faster than necessary.
