PATIENTS COMPLAINT:
Lacking power.
DIAGNOSIS: Restricted hip
turn on downswine.
TREATMENT: Much Of the
power you give 10 your shots
comes from turning your left
hip back around on the down
swing. Turning the left hip this
way leads the action on the
downswing and keeps contrib
uting It's part to the power Of
the swing as long as its turn
ing back TO the left.
But before you'll be able TO
hit a long ball. you'll have 10
realize that the turning OF the
hips on the downswine Is q lot
different from the turn they
take on the backswing. First Of
all. the turn Is more rapid for
the downswing. Secondly. the
downswing turn is accompa-
MED by a lateral motion in the
direction of the line of flight,
whereas the turn on the back
swing requires no lateral mo-
ton. Lastly, the turn back TO
the left should carry the left
hip around several inches far
ther than the backswing turn
carries the right hip.
Many golfers think the back
swing and downswing turns
are alike. They couldn't be
more wrongl And they won
der WHY their shots lose dis
tance!
Today's drawing tells all,
Notice that the left hip is well
around and out Of the way Of
the hands and arms with the
clubhead still nearly a yard
from the ball. Follow this form

Fufureo Com. COLLEGE
Topic OF Discussion

The cost of operating the Pal
mer Community College came up
for discussion at May N meet
ing of the City Council when the
Palmer Independent School Dist
riot proposed budget was discuss
ed by the councilmen for the Sc
cond time.
The budget included the amount
of $4,000 needed to match funds
provided by the University OF
Alaska in the amount Of $4,000
on a 1925 basis. Councilman
Koslosky pointed out that
while think the college is an ex-
cellent thing to have in the com
munity, I don't feel the taxpay-
ers should be asked to lend sup
port to a school for adults when
there is a need for additional
school construction for the chill
dren / feel the local people
are paying as much taxes as can
be expected under the present
financial conditions. Id like TO
see the City Council approve the
III mill tax rate, but not the IL
mill rate, with one mill to b.
used for new construction. I be
lieve they would have close to
enough money to provide for the
building I'm not against the
College, but I believe il should
be self-supporting."
William Zahradnicek, council
man and superintendent Of
schols, pointed out that the tut
ton charges this past year av-
eraged around $3.50 a course,
with the driver training course
costing $35. He pointed out that
the Palmer Community College
budget is proportionately less
than those of Ketchikan. Anch
orage and Juneau-Douglas. 1T
is up to the community as to
what they want to do for the
school,, he said. IF it IS ques-
ton Of schooling child full time
or a child part time and the ad-
ults part time, then it is our OBJ
legation to serve the child. 1t is
up to the community as to how
it's like the local hospital, if the
much money they want to pay
city wants to get into the hos
pital business, then the people
will have to pay"
