TNE of the good things
l one of the best things,
~ to come out of this first
war year, is the San Diego
"Block Plan.'
This block plan is really a
good neighbour policy ap-
piled to your home, your
kitchen and garden, your chill
dren's school and your social
club.
The women of San Diego,
under the inspired leadership
of the woman who originated
the plan, have been carrying
it out with such success and
such enthusiasm that when l last
had a report, some months ago,
more than five thousand blocks were
developing it. A block unit" is
simply a block in your town, city or
suburb in which the womanfolk
quietly and unostentatiously get to
know each other.
The men have organized and gone
away, and thousands of younger
women have gone away, too, into
defense and Red Cross work. This
is the organization of the home-mak-
in u,Nppoo orI &c ofaof &c ,yooIor
full, even now in its shaky begin
nings, that it may prove to be, as
I suggested in opening this article,
the very best thing that has come
out of. or can come out Of, war.
For it mean friendliness, sharing,
security. Those beautiful things that
war threatens and loneliness accen-
tuates. 1t means that every old
woman, busy housewife. high school
girl and child within its influence is
enveloped in a sense of community
protection and safety, and those are
invaluable assets today.
Neighbors Meet Frequently.
1t means that you meet the men
and women who live in the houses
each side of you, discover what you
a do for them in case of shortage,
know what they can do for you.
1t means that you pick a central
point for assembly in case of real
need, that you appoint some woman
as block guardian who will call
meetings, and arrange well in ad-
vance for those next-door services
that may be demanded of US all at
any time.
For example. You knew that pref
ty little Mrs. Smith two doors away
had two children, but you weren't
quite sure of anything else about
her. Now you discover that there's
to be a third child in March. But
that child may decide to come when
the Observation-Disclosures is far
away, the hospitals crowded and
the children's grandmother laid up
with a broken ankle. That's when
you take the older children home
with you, and Mrs. Brown, two doors
away on the other side, who used to
be a trained nurse before she mar
ried, steps in to keep an eye on Mrs.
Smith.
Two months later, when your big
boy gets a weeks leave and you
could join him if it wasn't for Daddy
and Margaret, both in hard war
time jobs, Mrs. Smith and Grandma
Smith welcome Margaret and Daddy
for meals as if they we're royal
guests.
Meanwhile Mrs. Davis, up at the
corner, has discovered that the
Montgomerys, who have been living
in the block for five years without
anyone paying any attention to them
are anxious to loan the Smiths their
baby's outworn perambulator. Old

Of war. When nations learn what
these neighboring women have
learned, fear will die, and with fear
hate will die, and we will learn to
construct with our billions, and no
longer destroy. For deep in their
hearts, every man and woman in this
world wants three things, love, Sc
curity, service. And it is one Of
Gods miracles that there is alway
enough Of these three things, and
that the more Of them we give the
more, by hundreds and thousands Of
times, the supply increases.
But remember, when you .egin

will hoard old rubber sheets, old
copper, dentist chairs, chopping
blocks, any old rubbish at all, rather
than put it to use. That the loan of
a suitcase might make some little
girl in the block feel happier; that
the milk that accumulates after a
few days absence. or the magazines

into genuine helpfulness. What this
will do for them personally is in
calculable, but it is what the scheme
will do for America in this hour of

hands was never so valuable. The
very children will flourish in the
genial atmosphere that will spread
itself over the gardens and back
yards, the front stoops and kitchen
porches; they will feel safer.

therefore, a correspondingly high

you have swinging room.

The Case of Bobby Jones

4. Tension, of course, is the great
curse of golf. Movement alone can
check tension. Bobby Jones is the
only golfer I ever saw who kept in
motion as he started to address the
ball. He was never locked. I have
never seen him freeze yer the ball
as the vast majority do. Either his
feet or hands were in some form Of
motion. Golfers. through indoor
practice, can work over this feature.
Don't ever stand over the ball and
begin to freeze on the swing. Loos-
en- yourself up. This can happen
when you improve your swing. as
you can indoors.
S. Most golfers lack the needed
gripping power in both hands. How
can this be helped? I can tell you.
Just lay aside 10 or IS minutes a
day where you work with an old
golf ball in either hand, squeezing
it and building up your finger
strength. This sounds foolish? Well,
l know two ballplayers who use this
method-Lefty Grove, the pitcher,
and Charlie Keller, the Yankee out
fielder. They were smart enough to
know how important it is to have
hand strength or finger strength.
Both have represented power in
pitching and hitting respectively.
This is a simple and an important
exercise.
Interesting York
This is all interesting work."
Dudley continued, because golf is
about IS per cent mental. In golf
you are not playing against an oppo-
nent. Your main opponent is your
self. You keep trying to make your
self do things that seem compare
lively easy-such as smooth swing
ing, keeping your head down, etc.
Each person is more interested in
himself than in anyone else. The
golfer usually beats himself. And
he knows that. No opponent can
ever keep you from making a two.
a three or a four.
Someone once gave the reason
for Willie Hopes great record. The
answer was this-the others played
Hoppe-Hoppe played billiards. Hun
dreds of thousands Of golfers know
what to debut they won't do it
often enough.
They all know they should take a
comfortable stance, with a comfort
able grip. They know they should
never hurry the backswing, or hurry
the downswing. They know they
should keep their eyes and their
minds on the target they are swing
ing at. Never mind the bunkers
and the ponds on ahead.

the ball. Most golfers are stiff
legged and bo%dy-locked before they
ever start the backswing. Swinging
indoors they can build up the habit
of greater freedom.
3. I'm these indoor lessons or in
door practice, golfers can concen.
trate entirely on the right way to
swing. Golf is largely a matter OF
habit. Golfers who let a fault turn
into a habit are in a bad way. But
by practice they can learn to keep
hands, arms, body, legs and feet
more flexible. They can learn to
turn more, to get their hands higher,
to finish their backsWing.

AIR
Cities in Flames

Bremen's big Atlas shipyards were
rocked by a dozen bomb hits as
American airmen continued their
joint attacks with the Raj over Ger
nan industrial centers. Results Of
the U. S. raid on the submarine
base of Kiel were u~nobserved, as
swarms of Nazi fighter planes arose
to the defense.
While the Americans hammered
the Atlas works, strong British units,
bolstered by huge four-engined
bombers, ripped Dusseldorf and
Bochum in the Ruhr.
Blockbusters caused heavy dam
age in both cities, sweeping fires
adding to the havoc. Mass evacua-
tons were reported. and the German
radio asked people in other districts
to make room for the refugees.
Size of the raiding fleets can be
cleaned from the Nazi claim of hav-
ing shot down 46 planes, % of which
were supposed to be the four-engined
machines. German aerial activity
meanwhile was limited to a short,
sharp sally over a London suburb,
where bombs were dropped.

Cast iron kitchen utensils will be
confined to IL items, and 40 styles
