said most of the opening day
jockeys were expected to come
from those tracks, but they
have not arrived.
More than 500 horses are
stabbed at the track, which
expects TOO by opening day.
Other early arrivals are at
Hialeah and .Gulfstrearn, but
the flow has been less than in
past years and the big influx
is not expected until after the
New York and other northern
tracks close.
Last year % were nominated
for the opening feature, the
$40, 000-added Hurrican Handi-
cap. This year only % were
nominated.
Among those named for the

Wider Spot Can Help in
Several Ways

If you're a spot bowler, I
wonder if you keep your eyes
directly on the spot to actually
watch if the ball rolls over it.
Many bowlers look at the spot
when releasing the ball, but
they quickly shift their glance
to the pins.
If you have trouble getting
the ball over a single board or
dart, try selecting an area as
your spot. The area can be
four or five boards wide. It
gives you a bigger target and
makes spot bowling a bit easier
for you.
Another help in using this
wide spot system is that it
keeps you from steering" the
ball. With a narrow target,
there is a tendency to steer the
ball, trying to guide it directly
over the spot.
\
Looking for a system? Joe Wilman
covers the three best ones-Spot, pin
and line bowling--in mis- pamphlet, "3
Ways to Better Bowling" His point
ers will show which one is the best
for you. Get this handy pamphlet now

"The 65-year-old man should
have a choice whether he stays
on the job or retires-at least
on a year-to-year basis.

in his mental or physical
health, the worker should be
allowed and encouraged to 60
on working without penalty.
"If he wants to retire, the
person should not only be al
lowed to do so, but should be
helped and instructed in detail
as to how he may best use
his time to achieve a long,
healthy and happy life in his
remaining years"
