money with them, Williams, who
also did not have his leave pa
pers, was allowed to come back
to Little Rock for the money
while the other two boys were
locked UP again. Later. Harold
and Frederick were made to pay

get which amounted to $40.
Sgt. Douglas returned with At

The 39th annual Learn-to-
Swim Campaign, sponsored by
the YMCA and The Star, started
yesterday at seven area pools.
Some 1900 boys have enrolled
for the week-long course. The
classes are conducted by. YMCA
staff members and volunteer in
structors for boys from 8 to II.
A class at Forest Glen Hospital
pool was postponed until next
week because of a mechanical
failure in the pumping system.
About 70 youngsters were af-
fected.
Fred D. Carl, in charge of the
YMCA portion of the program,
said he regretted being unable
to accommodate more young
Sters. A shortage of qualified in
structors has made expansion of
the program even more difficult,
he said. Quotas at the various
pools have been filled strictly in
the order in which boys applied,
he added.
Basic aim of the week-long
course is to teach youngsters to
swim so feet. Awards of a but
ton and certificate will be made
to those who reach this goal.
Those who show additional
ability will be credited with hav-
ing completed the Y's beginners
course, which is also approved
by the National American Red
Cross.
The boy showing the most
progress in each class will be
given a free one-year member
ship in the YMCA.
Among the skills being en-
phasized are mental and physical
adjustment to water, proper
breathing, bobbing, floating, COM
bined swimming stroke, change
of direction. jumping and ele-
mentary diving.
