At night they made scrap books
in which they planned their fut-

one afternoon and demonstrated
how they could make beautiful
vases from discarded phonogr-
aph records. After making these
the Scouts realized that many
discarded things could be made
useful if a little ingenuity were
exercised.
In some of their worktime the
girls painted the Nursey chairs and
built an outdoor oven. Some of
the Scouts made spatter pictures
of leaves and flowers to that they
could pass their Nature Badge.
But all was not work during the
week, for there was also time for
recreation. They went to 2 NOV
les, went swimming in the wad-
ing pool, sank songs, folk danced,
played games, had one camp fire,
and made numerous trips to the
near by ice cream place. Then
there was lots OF talk and fun be-
ing together.
On the last night the Scouts put
their work on display for visit
ors to see and had a short pro-
gram which summed up the weeks
work. I was very sorry when it
came to a close for Ihad enjoyed
the opportunity of meeting, max
ing friends, and working with the
girls and the Leader The girls
seemed to be sorry that it was
time to leave, too. 1t was a very
profitable week. We shall have
a much happier world when we
learn to make better homes and
learn to live and work together
in harmony.

''The brazen effrontery of the

Communist Party through its
memo on the Freedom Train,
dated Aug. 29, 1947, cannot re-

form of government are its big

Getting Foce Wet IS Declared
First Lesson in Swimming
500 to Join Glasses
Storting in YMcA
On April 7

The first thing beginners at The
Star-YMCA swim school win learn
is how to get their faces wet.
| J. e. Coulter. YMCA aquatic d.
rector, said developing seH-confi-
dence In the would-be swimmer is
the essential first stroke" in swim
ming.
This Is done by teaching the
novice to duck his head under water.
Then he Is asked to touch the bot
tom Of the pool. Next he Is told
| to open his eyes under water and
count the fingers extended by the
instructor. He winds up the lesson
| by blowing bubbles in the water.
It all sounds very simple, and Mr..
Coulter comedies there Is nothing
very complicated about it. But the
nine swimming instructors at the
"Y" always feel they are well on
the way to success when the class
has learned this first lesson.
No Charge for Classes.
Some 500 boys between 8 and II
will be expected to learn it April
THE first day Of the learn-to-
swim school. There is no charge
for these classes. AL that Is neces-
sary is to fill out the coupon on this
page and mail it to the YMCA. In
a few days an answer win be re-
ceived from George e. Caputo, di-
rector Of the learn-to-sWim CAM
paign, instructing the applicant at
what hour to report.
Glasses will be taught every hour
from 9 am. to pm. each day from
April Z through April IL. They will
be held in the pool of the Central
Branch, 1882 G street NV, and
that of the Twelfth Street Branch,
1875 Twelfth street NV.
The second day of the school Will
be devoted to learning two lessons
body position and rotation breath
ing. Learners will relax in the water
and permit the instructors or their
swimming companions to pull them
about. They also will be taught to
exhale with their faces in the water,
then pivot the head to bring the
mouth out Of the water and inhale.
Breathing Is Third Lesson.
Learning the fiutter kick and more
rotation breathing take most OF the
time allotted for the third lesson.
Stroking with the arms is taught
first on the edge OF the pool and
then in chest-deep water. The stroke
used is the WINDMILL or overarm-
the one seen most frequently IN
pools and on beaches. Learners also
are expected to coordinate the
stroke with their rotary breathing,
and much of the fourth lesson Is
devoted to this.
The fifth day is spent co-ordinat-
/ ing what has been learned on the
previous four. Each step is reviewed
individually at first and then all at
once. The result Is the beginner Is
swimming-if he learned each step
correctly.
The sixth and last day the be-
ginner practices up on his newly
ACQUIRED swimming ability or goes
back and picks up some point he
missed along the way. The end OF
the lesson consists Of test. Be-
ginners' swimming badges will be
awarded to those who Jump into the
water, swim Is feet, turn around
anasswinasiaack. ~,
The instructors are confident this
years school will create as many
new sWinNners ssas last year did,
when 90 per centsof the class learned
| to stroke out for themselves.
