lust Between
Ourselves
BY Philip n. Love-

The starters gun banged and the
swimmers plunged into the pool.
The race had no sooner begun,
however, than the starter fired
again. Having observed a false
start, he continued to fire as q
signal to the racers to return to the
starting point. All but one obeyed.
Diane Wilson, who Is pictured In
the adjoining columns, was the
swimmer who kept going. The race
was one of her first and she hadn't
yet learned all the rules.
Bill Armstrong, coach of the AM
bassador POOLS swimming teams,
tells the story on Diane. of whom
he's really quite proud. "She swan
almost the whole race before some
body dived in to stop her from wear
ing herself out he says. She's
often kidded about that embarrass-
ing moment, but she takes it good.
naturedly."
Diane has come long way in the
three years she has been swimming
in races.
She has won the 50-yard District
AAU junior freestyle," Coach Arm.
strong points out This year she
won every competition in the Junior
age group and the Presidents Cup
Regatta 50-yard freestyle for girls.
She also was the alternate on the
national junior freestyle relay cham
pions Of 1s48. All together she's
won 80 medals"
The 13-year -old George Washing.
ton High School student, who lives
at % Woodmont road Belle Haven,
Alexandria, has been swimming
about eight years.
She learned at the Belle Haven
Country Club pool" says Coach
Armstrong. Then she decided she
wanted to be q diver and came to
the Ambassador for private lessons.
I advised her to take up competitive
swimming instead. She came with
our teams about q year later and
has been with us ever since"
Diane is the daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Alfred E. Wilson. Her father
is a Capital Airlines pilot. When
she isn't swimming she likes to
dance and ride horses. She owns 0
mare named Velvet.

ming in Reykjavik, but doubts were
created in my mind by another for
mer resident, who said the shower
baths were "co-educational"
So it was with a somewhat con-
fused mind that I arrived in Ke-
f1avik on August 6, 1948. Kefavik
Is 80 miles from Reykjavik, the
capital. The large transatlantic
planes land there because the air.
field Is bigger and better than the
one at Reykjavik. In the drive to
the capital I saw very little-just
miles and miles Of volcanic rock,
with q few tiny homes here and
there.
Room With . View.
In about an hour we reached the
Legation residence which was to be
our new home. I thought 1t pretty
and lovely inside, and while it isn't
awfully large, it seemed like man
sion after our Washington apart
ment. My room opened on a bal
cony with a beautiful view of q
placid lake where ducks were SWIM
ming.
1t was a warm day, the tempera-
ture about 10 degrees, and so quiet
and still-a feeling of loneliness
came over me. I felt so far away.
ran over to the chancery (Which is
right next door, and asked If there
was any mail. None of my friends
had written to me. I walked out
into the street. The city looked at
tractive, the people were pleasant
and friendly. but still felt lonely.
Suddenly, I heard q commotion.
I ran toward it, and there was my
brother Dickie out on my balcony
with long fishing rod and line with
a most peculiar sort of bait on it.
To my horror, he was peddling
comics to q group 81 lIcelandic boys
who were scuf1ling over them. Daddy
had bought him that rod to fish for
salmon, which is very popular here.
Nights Are Longer.
BY the end Of September, the eve
nings had begun to get dark. The
nights will get longer until Decem-
ber, then we shall have only a few
hours Of daylight day. I suppose
when that time comes I shall have
to hurry home to lunch before the
sun goes down.
When we first arrived here, 1t
was daylight most all the time. This
pleased Dickie and me. We never
were keen about the dark How
ever, one has no reason to be afraid
here. Such honest. good people I
have never known. 1t is very seldom
that one hears OF crimes of any
sort.
Iceland has much to offer In beau
tiful scenery. One Of the prettiest
trips is to drive to Thingvellir (pro-
nounced Thing -vet-lur), a national
park about IS miles from Reykiavik
On the way they get splendid views
OF Esjer and other mountains: you
pass fields of hay and dairies and
buttercups, but you see no trees.
There are no trees in Iceland ex-
cept cultivated ones.
Wild cotton grows everywhere
along the roadside. I suppose the
warm springs promote this. 1t is
really fascinating to watch the steam

A night the rain
Is pouring down
From the sky
To the thirsty ground.
The hundreds Of drops that fall
In every little place,
Manage to squeeze In
Wherever there Is space.
The rain, whose tiny drops do fall
In their own little way,
After the storm is over
In big and small puddles lay.
Now the rain is over,
And the sun Is shining bright;
The grateful flowers open up
To get the morning light,

Water Pollution Rated 2
Major National Problem

Pollutants of many kinds are
poured into our waters. The major
sources of pollution are three. These
three cause the most trouble and
have been responsible for destruc-
ton of the productivity of much of
the water of this country.
Industrial wastes are one of the
serious sources of pollution that ad-
versely affect the biological produc-
tivity of water. These are wastes.
usually chemical in nature, from a
great variety Of industries. They
may be either active toxic poisons,
which kill the life directly, or SUBJ
stances which prevent vigorous
growth of basic food forms that are
essential to the welfare of fishes and
other valuable aquatic life.
Domestic wastes in the form Of
sewage are another chief source of
pollutants.
The other cause of pollution is
from silt. Overgrazing of grass
lands and misuse of cultivated
areas have resulted in abnormslly
rapid soil erosion and consequent
heavy siltation of many of the finest
and most productive streams of the
country. Silt is still the major single
pollutant in the streams of the
nation.

Termites Are Social Insects

Living in colonies and building
large nests, some as high as 20 feet,
termites are classed as social in
sects. While widely distributed, they
reach their maximum Importance
in Africa. They are divided into
workers, soldiers, winged males and
females and a royal pair. Most spe-
cies always are concealed under
the surface of the ground or in the
wood upon which they feed. Ter
mites cannot digest the wood upon
which they feed. After they chew
and swallow the wood it is taken
by tiny organisms called fiagel-
lates, which live as parasites in the
termite's digestive tract. These
parasites change the cellulose of
wood into soluble food, which then
furnishes the. termites with their
nourishment.

Fought Against Potatoes

The word "spud," slang for ''po'
tato," has queer history. Short
ly after its introduction to England
in the 18th century. the meat and
grain interests considered IL such
dangerous rival that they pro-
nounced it poisonous" and in
spired a food-faddist organization
known as the Society for the Pre-
vention of Unwholesome Diet, from
whose initials, SPUD, came the
nickname which is now pretty gen.
orally used. One medium-sized po-
tato contains about the same food
value as one medium-sized apple.
