Competition in this greatest OF all
games starts actively tomorrow, al
though water polo will be held to-
night.
Athletes From So Lands.
From So lands came the young
men and women to participate in
the awesome ceremonies.
For a solid hour the athletes pa
raded while the King of England
stood stiff1y at attention, salutlng
most of the time
The big United States and British
teams drew the loudest and most
sustained applause.
A roll of applause started as the
Stars and Stripes came out OF the
tunnel. The Americans wore their
snappy marching uniforms-white
hats, deep blue jackets and white
skirts or trousers:
Don Finlay, British hurdler and
veteran of three Olympic games
took the oath for all the assembled
athletes.
After the torch had been lit it was
revealed the torch-bearer was John
w. E. Mark, 23 a Cambridge Univer-
sity athlete, standing 6 feet 3.
Lord Burghley, chairman OF the
British Organizing Committee, had
said the man selected for the honor
would be "the perfect Englishman.
Thousands gathered early in the
big SPORTS stadium. The heat was
oppressive, although greatly to the
liking of the American coaches VINO
are counting on winning the lions
share of glory in the main sports
track, swimming, and crew.
The temperature rose to BY as
brilliant sun beat down from a
cloudless sky and black British UNI
brellas popped open in the low
spreading stands that can accom-
modate $4,000 persons.
The freshly laid. dead level red
track made ring of color around
the bright green infield.
Among early arrivals were the
three score members of the Inter-
national Olympic Committee, ex-
tremely stiff and uncomfortable in
cutaways. Shiny black stovepipe
hats predominated in this select
group, but some of the British mem
bers wore tall grey hats. All had
red carnations in their button holes
Action began with the appearance
of IA trumpeters of King Georges
household cavalry, clad in yellow
striped uniforms. They lined up In
front of the royal box and played
a fanfare.
Boy Scouts Stand Guard.
The massed drums and flies OF
His Majesty's brigade of guards
in red jackets, with black trousers
and tall black BUSHES, then paraded
in. followed little later by the
Scots pipers of the same brigade.
Boy Scouts stood guard at the
wicker boxes holding 1000 pigeons
to be released as symbols of peace

Despite the exhausting heat the
ceremonies proceeded with relent-
less British dignity.

"Hurray!" echoed another voice.

"Can you swim, Olga?" called
Merry.
NO." answered Olga, "but I can

surface of the water and continued
eating her apple, gazing unconcern-

She tried it but sank Immediately,

LET'S TALK
ABOUT Nou
= BY CHARLES B. ROTH .
A Good COnversationalist

That the man I have just spent
week with has mastered one of
the most important of all human
arts, there is no doubt. Wherever
we went he charmed those we met,
charmed them by his personality,
his graciousness, his poise, but prin-
cipally by his conversation.
For he seemed to know exactly
what to say to everyone to whom
we talked. 1 mentioned it to him.
"Oh, it's simple" he replied, "all
l do is talk to them in terms of
lnterests-their interests-their SPE-
CIAL INTERESTS"
| Every human being, as you know,
has certain subjects in which he is
especially interested - his business,
his hobby, his family, some outside
accomplishment, politics, something
that especially interests.
Anything that appeals to a per-
sons special interests, identifies
you with him, will get and hold
his attentiOn-and if you get and
hold anyOne's attention he will
find you an engaging personality.
If you want your personality to ap-
peal to others, all you have to do is
follow the few simple rules which
my friend explained to me.
1.-THE first thing you have to do is
to find out what your persons in
terests are" he began. "And that
is not hard. Listen to anyone talk.
We all talk most about what inter-
ests us most. You can also ask
others about the interests of the
person you are going to meet. It
isn't hard to get information"
"Then," he continued, acquire
knowledge on the subject" None
Of us likes to talk to an ignoramus,
but you can read up on any subject
and get passable knowledge of it.
"Then-and this is the last rule
all you have to do is show him you
are interested in the subject, too
Then in his eyes you become ire
sistibly interesting. See how easy
it isl"

your help. To make that help effec-
tive the many humanitarian organi-
cations which seek to save as MANY
young lives as possible have been
merged into one great Crusade for
Children. Local groups are organic

department of agriculture and other
groups are furthering the movement.
To anyone who has seen this tor
tured young generation, the effect
Is as staggering as the sight of a
battlefield. To young soldier,
there is no shock like the sight of
your first dead comrade. That still
form, wearing the same uniform
you wear, lying crushed against
the earth. To me, the shock Of the
sight of European children moving
with the shadow Of a living death
upon them was terrible thing too.
1 can remember getting off a train
in what once had been one of the
great railway stations of Europe -
rubble ground into black mud, the
CHASTITY smell of those buried deep
under the foundations of ruined
homes and shelters. Military police,
hardened to the sights around them.

ping in and out of sight, bent on any
mission, no matter how fair or foul
that would win some chocolate. a
piece OF k-ration, a cigarette that
might be traded for some bit of food.
No matter what the sins of the
fathers, they could not be great
enough to justify the punishment
inflicted on these children. There
IS only one way their bodies and
their souls can be saved. That is
through the groups which are sup
ported by individual donations,
until economic life is restored to a
degree of normally when society
can be rebuilt, broken homes
mended and the institutions which
can care for the homeless nut into
operation as a part of a healthy
community existence.
Government aid, like E.C.A.. can
not establish direct contact with the
individual. 1t is a matter of ar
engagements drawn up between ma
tons. 1t means dollar credits which
make it possible for the receiving
nations to buy supplies.
Some of this money, of course,
goes into food. But it takes time for
the machinery to get into operation,
and even after it is in operation, it
is inadequate to satisfy the needs of
the whole people. Much of the as
sistance goes into material things
such as the reconstruction of fac
tories, replacement and moderniza-
ton of tools, machinery and agri-
cultural supplies.
Frequently, supplies of such sim
pie things as rakes and shovels are
