that it would not have be. Just little less hurry and bit
attention to the small but important things that make
the difference between driving carefully and not might cut
down this expected accident rate tremendously.
Highway deaths somehow fail to impress people. Air or

Gus Brickner became the first
person to swim the length of Deep
Greek Lake, having accomplished
this feat last Friday.
The 46-year-old Charleroi, Pa.
steelworker entered the water at
Green Glade inlet at 1920 a. m, and
completed the distance to Deep
Creek Lodge on the McHenry in
let in eight hours and ten minutes.
The distance has been variously
estimated to be as much as sixteen
miles, but this was being discounted
this week by people who are ac-
quainted with the technical con-
Struction of the lake
F. r. COrliSS, surveyor, said that
Mr.. Brickner probably swan about
nine and one-half miles. He eX-
planned that the entire distance
from Green Glade to the breast of
the dam is eleven miles, and that
when Brickner took the McHenry
inlet instead of continuing to the
breast of the dam he cut at least
one and one-half miles from the
total distance, since it is that much
farther from the big bridge to the
dam than it is to the end of the
McHenry inlet.
However, this does not take away
any of the glamor of the event.
Others made attempts to swim the
lake but no one had ever succeeded.
Some 500 persons lined the shores
Of the McHenry inlet and a similar
number were on hand to greet him
when he stepped from the waters.
He was greeted by Helmuth Heise,
president of the Deep Greek Lake
Garrett County Promotion Council,
who presented him with a check for
$3.50 from the council, for his feat
Brickner was accompanied by his
trainers, Roger elliot and Metro
Smereczniak who sfed him every
half hour. He was given Jumps of
sugar at intervals and food prep
aration of cheese doused in honey,
coffee or bananas.
Using the crawl, overland stroke,
Brickner maintained d steady pace
through the entire course. At HAS
a. M, he passed the Glendale bridge,
about midway in the course. Short
ly after p. m. he started on the
last lap past the Deep Greek bridge
where he was greeted by hundreds.
Crafts of all types came abreast of
the swimmer to check his time and
