Of course it isn't really just

swimming can do for one. He
had more vitality at the age

I am writing about SWIM
ming at the first Of the sum-
mer this year because I so
hope that all Of you will take
an interest in learning to swim
so that you may enjoy the
season.
Swimming is one of the few
sports you can safely take
down the years with you. It
is a family sport in which
grandfather and grandmother
can join the grandchildren.
It is an extremely health
full sport because 1t places less
strain on you than others.
It is figure lnolding In a beau
tiful way. It Sims the abdo-
men and hips while it firms
the bust. What more could
Q woman ask Of q sport?
Knowing that many women
cannot afford to take swim
ming lessons or are timid
about doing so and also that
1t is fun to learn with your
family, I wrote a leaflet which
will enable you to learn to
swim, all by yourself, with just
a little family aid.
Some time ago I had an
amusing letter from a reader
concerning this leaflet. She
said. Dear Mrs. Lowman, !
know you will be glad to know
that I learned to swim last

Proper Treatment
OF House Roof
Adds to Its Life

A new roof is like new car-the
better care it receives, the more
attractive it will look and the
longer it will last. The owner of
a home will get the best return
on his roofing investment if he
follows few simple rules of roof
care. Asphalt shingles are an eco
nomical, long-lived roofing mate
rial, fire. and weather-resistant,
but like any other quality prod
uct they deserve good treatment.
Keep cutters, downspouts, and
roof surfaces clear of fallen
leaves, twigs, and other litter so
that water will drain freely and
will not back up. Never allow
water from downspout to pour
directly onto roof below; keep
the downspout connected to the
gutter which drains the lower
roof.
Keep trees trimmed to prevent
Scuffing of the roof by branches
or damage by falling limbs.
Do not walk on roofing. When
il is necessary for workmen to go
on a roof, they should use walk
boards, ladders, or scaffolding.
When it is necessary to remove
snow or ice from valley or roof
area, be careful not to damage
the roof with tools.
