Recuperating After
Collapse At Farm

Kermit Glotfelty, of near Acct
dent, is recuperating in Meyersdale
hospital following collapse or
fainting spell which occurred at
his farm Monday evening.
Mr.. and Mrs. Glotfelty were pre-
pairing to go to Annapolis where
Mrs. Glotfelty had a scheduled
meeting with other legislators, and
Mr.. Glotfelty had completed his
feeding of the cattle in the barn
and was heading for his home
when he became ill, apparently col
apsing and falling into a ditch
that was being dug for new water
line.
He sustained a deep cash on the
head and other decorations when
he fell. He was discovered in an
unconscious condition by his wife,
who rushed him to the office of
DR.. Paige Strong in Grantsville and
later to Meyarsdale Community
hospital He regained consciousness
Tuesday afternoon.
He was thought at first to have
suffered a heart attack or slight
stroke, but this was later dis
counted. 1t was felt he had tainted
and suffered a CONFUSION. Mrs.
Glotfelty did not know just how
long he had remained in the ditch
before being found.
There were reports this morning
that he may be allowed to return to
his home in two or three days. Mr..
Glotfelty is Sc years of age.

breath is the very essence
Of life, With our first
breath we inherit the gift of
life and we are not dead un-
til we take our last one.
Since our breathing is in
voluntary we are apt to
bre a the shallowly. Deep
breathing is beneficial to
health and is also most relax

else:
Stand tall. Take a deep
breath and exhale completely.
Place your hands on your
ribs, with the fingertips of
one hand touching the fin

in very deeply, expanding
the diaphragm and lifting
the ribs as the lungs fill with
air. See how wide you can
make the space between the
fingertips when you inhale.

If we had never seen a
flower and it suddenly sprang
from the ground! We take
the wonders Of nature all for
granted.
We are even apt to take
friendship and love and
health for granted until we
are about to lose them. Most
of all we take the wondrous
working of our body for
granted. It works night and
day to keep us alive and to
protect us.
Breathing Is Miracle
We go along taking in
great gulps of pleasant liv-
ing Just as though we had
earned them. Much Of the
time we do not appreciate
our joys and pleasures be-

runs home with nine tricks

Modern Play
The result is quite different
II East makes q modern, in.
telligent play. East plays the
encouraging seven Of spades al
the first trick instead of giving
up his jack. This allows dummy
to win the first trick with the
nine.
Declarer leads a heart from
dummy, losing to the ace. West
understanding what is going or
in spades, returns the king Of
spades. This forces out dummy,
ace and South's queen, but East
still has the jack Of spades t.
control the suit.
Now South gets only two
spade tricks. He falls one trick
short instead Of winning the
game and rubber.
Don't be in a hurry to play
the jack in third position wher
dummy has A-10-x or A-10-9
You probably cannot stop de.
clarer from getting two tricks
in the suit, but you can pre-.
vent him from winning al
three.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. IT,
The space agency has aban-
doned hope of launching two
men into orbit in Project
Gemini next year.
Robert R. Gilruth, head OF
the Manned Spacecraft Center
Houston, Tex, said yesterday
that the $500 million program
has Slipped" about -four
months. An unnamed orbital
trial originally scheduled for
late summer, 1868, will not take
place until the final quarter OF
the year, he said.
This will delay a one-day
flight of two men until early
1864, Mr.. Gilruth explained. He
said he could not state posi-
lively that there would not be
further delays.
Mr.. Gilruth's comments came
when newsmen pressed him for
confirmation of reports that
there had been a Showdown
in the Gemini program. He de-
MED that the program had
been cut back in any way, or
that there had been any change
in official attitudes about its
urgency.
Gemini is a transition pro-
gram between the minimal
Mercury one-man project now
drawing to a close and Apollo,
three-man flight operations
aimed at landing men on the
moon in the 1905.
