Water Co. canal at the risk of
his own life, the Rev. Robert w.
Brown saved two small boys
from drowning as they floun-
dered desperately in eight feet
Cf water. &
The boys are Richard Bibbs,
II. and Charles Williams, IL.
The minister and the boys were
taken to General Hospital where
they were treated and released.
The accident occurred in the
afternoon when the two boys and
Williams brother Howard. 10,
were playing along the frozen
canal when the ice suddenly gave
away and Richard and Charles
sank in the icy water.
Knowing that his companions
might go under at any moment,
the younger Williams ran to their
assistance and tried to pull his
brother out of the water, but
found it impossible to keep his
(Charles) head above the level
of the ice.

If you want to dance the
mashed potatoes. it will help
if you can Charleston. The

dancing the Charleston side
ways, instead of back and

come easy to the Charles
toners, but co-ordinating the
hand move m ents of the

take q lot Of smoothing out.

Candy's twin brother, Ed
SANDY Nance. a sophomore
at John Carroll High, claims
some of the hand manipula-
tons in the mashed potatoes
are similar to those in the
UT and the Popeye.
The hands can Just flop
from the wrists, Sandy says.
But he and his twin sister
prefer the fist clench to the
floppy hands. The right fist
is cupped by the left hand.
The thumbs cross, left over
right.
Then as you twist your
feet, you draw a big imagin-
airy circle from your waist to
the top of your head with
your cupped fist.
Or, you can make a fist Of
each hand. Then, as you
dance the mashed potatoes,
bend the right elbow into a
right angle in front of you,
while the left elbow is max
. ing a right angle behind you.
Then do the. opposite, NOV

Partners face each other,
but never touch while doing
the mashed potatoes. There
are no high kicks, either.
But you have to stay on the
balls of the feet throughout,
as you twist the toes in and
