After duly noting the other
day that spring is here, Al
Jamison was saying the young
sters will be trudging out after
school and on week ends. golf
bags on their shoulders. The
sad part of it, he added. is that
when they go to swing. the club
still will be on their shoulders.
Somebody asked the Goose
Greek pro to follow through on
that one.
"AlI kids are too upright, that's
what I mean" Jamy explained.
They should start with a fiat
swing, and grow into a medium
upright as they grow taller.
But no." the sage of Leesburg
continued. Because that ball
they're supposed to hit is laying
on the ground, they think they
have to pick the club up in the
air and swing at the ball like
they're swinging an ak.
A youngster Of 8, about aver
age size, ran past. Jamison
called to him, asked him if he
played golf.
mot much" the boy replied.
Jamy picked up an average
sized club. asked the youngster
to take off his coat and swing
at golf ball. The boy did. He
picked the club UP like he was
throwing a sack of -four over
his shoulder.
What did I tell you?" Jamyf
added. "They all do it. They
should take the club back with
more of baseball swing"
***
The Goose Greek pro claims
all youngsters should start with
a fiat swing. which would be
taking the club back about the |
waistline. instead of picking i'll
up. And, something else, he
claims young person cannot get
away with an upright swing be-
cause his left arm is not strong
enough to control the club The
right arm overpowers it, and any!
one of a number of errors can
result.
IF parents would help see to
it that their kids start with a
fiat backswing, bringing that
club around their waist, they'd
be much easier to teach," Jami.
son said. When they start
wrong it takes time to get away
from that upright stroke"
Now that Jamison had started
the youth of America off on the
right foot, did he have any early
season advice for nom and pop?
Positively" Jamy replied
"Tell 'em to use their left hand.
The average person is right
handed and all winter has been
using his right hand as usual in
normal living. The left has been
idle. It's weaker.
Golfers should hit within the
power of their hands, not phys
ical power" he continued, with
the accent on the left"

temperatures and sunshine aren't necessary for
the game.
Heye E. Eilers is listed in Government files as
being 20 years old However. some of the things
he remembers about his early life indicate he may
be closer to IS
When he retired in December, 1854 after So
years with the Internal Revenue Service. Mr. EilerS
amazed Government doctors with his fine physical
condition He's feet 10 inches tall and still weighs
a trim I65 pounds. the same weight he carried in
his younger athletic days. He attributes much OF

Like many another old timer, Mr. Eilers thinks
the United States needs youth program to develop
more stars like Kramer and Trabert, rather than
trust to chance.
Look at the Australians he says. "RoSewall

tennis to all parts of the country. However, it

HEARING THURSDAY IN PETERSBURG ON SHRIMP WAGE SCALE

Labor Commissioner Henry Ben son will hold q hearing in Peters burg at p. m. next Thursday, February 3, on the Territorial SIPS minimum hourly wage scale as it effects the shrimp cannery op- orators and pickers, Ben Engdal of Harbor SeafOOds and Neil Grant of Reliance Shrimp have been advised
 A recent conference in Juneau between the operators and the Com missioner failed to resolve the diff ference which has arisen over the minimum hourly wage. Operators, who pay their shrimp pickers on pound. or piece work basis, contend they cannot operate if they are ra- quired to pay all pickers on the hourly wage minimum basis under the present market conditions as many of their pickers are part time workers unable to produce at that rate. The shell fish industry is eX- empt under the federal wage and hour law. The Labor Commissioner holds there is no exemption under the Territorial law although per- mits may be granted by the Com missioner for certain types of part time work
 Pickers in both Wrangell and Petersburg have joined the opera tors in a request that the present system of pound pay be continued under a permit system. Eighty-siX pickers have signed up here and it is reported all have in Petersburg to continue work as is.
 Canneries are continuing to op- crate but are endeavoring to hire only those who can make the $125 an hour minimum.
 Senator James Nolan and other members of the Legislature which passed the act have advised tha Commissioner that it was the in tent of the Legisla ure to exempt shell fish and other part time workers.
