Advantages-relatively low cost

most novices. Disadvantage
high starting shock on some
installations. Good mainte-
nance Of up-track required.
Chairlift-Passengers, one OF
two, are carried by endless ca
BILE to which moving chairs are
affixed. Passenger may or may
not retain skis. Numerous types
and styles of American and for
eign manufacture currently in
service. Most popular form of
uphill transportation where any
distance is involved. Current
trend is to double chairlifts
Advantages: No snow required
under track which may span
unskiable terrain; high capa-
city; good passenger comfort.
Disadvantages: Expense.

BOWLING

when he won the recent 40
game grind at Pentagon City.
But the man packs class, too,
as witness the 715 series he
rolled in the last session Of the
Greater Washington Major
League at Rosslyn. Moore, q
member of the Bob Banning
Plymouth team, fashioned
games Of 210, 269 and 236.
The big series stands to net
him a bundle Of spinach. It
counted In the Bowlers Victory
Legion tournament. With his

the highest gross score ever
registered by a kegler in BVL

In describing ski facilities
the words "tows," lifts"
trans" and "pomas" are often
used. For the benefit of new
comers. a few definitions are
in order.
Tow - synonymous with
'rope-tow," an endless powered
rope requiring grasping by the
skier who is pulled on his own
skis to the top of the hill.
Advantages: Simple, fast, in
expensive. Disadvantages: Ex-
tremely tiring to the skier,
especially when snow condi-
tions are poor.
Thar - A cable operated
machine in which q series OF
pickaxe shaped devices are
suspended from an endless,
slowly moving cable. Two
skierS at a time, riding on their
own skis. are pulled up the
hill. Advantages: Relatively
inexpensive, high-capacity. Dis
advantages-somewhat difficult
to novice; starting shock may
be high; difficult for two skiers
Of differing heights or weights
to ride with comfort.
J-bar. Similar to a Thar
but accommodates only one
skier. Most disadvantages of
I-oar are removed, but capacity
is significantly lower for almost
the same expense.

le-operated device in which

to a metal bar, equipped with

CopiouS amounts Of snow
in the Washington area have
prompted several readers to
inquire concerning the best
areas for skiing.
There are many such areas
in Washington and the sur
rounding counties, some Of
which offer excellent skiing,
but, Of course, no uphill facil-
tiles.
Traditionally, Washington
skiing has been concentrated
in Battery-Kemble Park, on
Chain Bridge road between
Macarthur boulevard and
Loughborogh road and Rock
Creek Park in the vicinity Of
the Military road crossing.
In former years, floodlights
were provided for night skiing
at Battery-Kemble Park, but
National Capital Parks discon-
tinued this service in 1858.
There are, however, many
other areas. some known to
but a few, which also provide
excellent skiing. Some are sub
urban, others more centrally
located. If you know of any
within a 25-mile radius of the
White House, please forward
any such information to me at
The Star or call JE. 2-3556

accurate location and dimen-
sions Of the area and the at

Fastened with wing bolts, the
kayak is easily detached to be
used for fishing or solitary

Guy ropes running from bow

same points on the kayak serve
to reduce racking when the
going gets rough while Q water
proof cockpit cover on the
kayak protects food and bed

Cadet Is Caught
With Stolen Plane

KEY WEST, Fla, Sept. 9
(AP).-An 18-year-old Coast
Guard cadet who flew here in a
stolen plane was arrested today
at the Key West airport whence,
he said, he planned to take
another plane to fly to Cuba.
Jerry Whit Hardin of Titus
vile, Fla, absent without leave
from the Coast Guard Academy
at New London, Conn, told the
sheriff's office he wanted to go
to Havana to teach English at
the university there. He told
investigators he had hitchhiked
to Miami from New London and
had stolen single engine light
plane from the Tamiami air
port. High winds forced him
to land on the Key West City
Beach yesterday, according to
Robert L. Brown, chief investi-
gator for the sheriff's depart
ment.
Mr.. Brown said Hardin, who
previously had logged only eight
hours flying time as a student
pilot, was spotted by a deputy
sheriff at the Key West airport
today after an all-night search.
Mr.. Brown quoted Hardin as
saying he was looking for an
other plane to fly to Cuba.
He is being held in Jail to
await action by the Coast
Guard.
