METAL SKIS will be making the scene on the
slopes this winter more than ever before. Why? They
offer many advantages in flexibility, resistance to
twist, thinness and durability.

Metal Leading Material For High Quality Skis
NEW YORK Thinking
of buying your first pair
of good skis this winter
and wondering what ma
terial is best?
Here’s a statistic that
might help you make up
your mind: 80 per cent of
all the high quality skis
sold today—sloo plus—are
metal.
Good equipment is vital
if you’re going to have
fun skiing. And if you’ve
made up your mind to pay
SIOO to $175 for a pair of
new skis you should know
that you’re getting the lat
est and most modern
equipment that ski tech
nology can supply.
The basic structure of
the metal ski consists of
two layers of springy
aluminum alloy bonoed to
a light weight core. When
the ski deflects through a
bump, the top layer short
ens in compression and
the bottom layer lengthens
in tension.
Ski Retains Shape
When the strain is re
lieved, both metal layers
snap back to their original
length and the ski regains
precisely its original shape,
ready for the next ma
neuver.
Derived from this con
struction are three prop
erties which profoundly af
fect the performance of
the ski flexibility, tor
sional rigidity (resistance
to twist) and thinness.
Flexibility: A metal ski,
Medicare To Change
Beginning in January,
an older person who goes
to the hospital under
Medicare will be respons
ible for the first $44 of his
hospital bill—now running
about S6OO for the average
hospital stay by a Medi
care beneficiary, Robert
Alford, Social Security of
ficer-in-charge, said. The
$4.00 increase (from the
present S4O deductible) re
sults from a provision in
the law requiring an an
nual review of the deduct
ible amount. The first
such review the law pro
vided was to be made in
1968.
The law specifies that if
this annual review shows
that hospital costs have
changed significantly, the
hospital deductible amount
must be adjusted for the
following year. Necessary
increases in the deductible
amount are to be made in
$4.00 steps to avoid small
annual changes.
Following the formula
in the law, and figuring
the ratio of inpatient hos
pital costs under Medicare
in 1966 with those in 1967,
the deductible amount for
1969 worked out to $45.36.
Rounded to the nearest
multiple of $4.00, this will
make the deductible $44
for 1969.
The results of the an :
r.ual review of the inpa
tient hospital deductible
also apply to the dollar
amount a Medicare benefi
ciary pays’ toward a hos
pital stay of more than 60
days, or a poslhospitai ex
tended care stay of more
than 20 days.
thanks principally to alum
inum, is strong in propor
tion to its weight. It can
be made flexible without
breaking.
Torsional Rigidity: Metal
is uniformly strong in all
directions. This gives met
al skis a resistance to
twist unobtainable with
fibrous materials.
Thinness: The flexibility
of a ski is determined by
its thickness and the ma
terial used. Because met
al is exceptionally stiff
These amounts therefore
will also increase by 10
per cent, effective January
1 to sll a day for the 61st
through the 90th day of a
hospital stay; to $5.50 far
the 20th to the 100th day
of a stay in a posthospital
extended care facility, and
to $22 a day for each day
of the (lifetime reserve) of
60 days, the reserve account
a beneficiary can draw up
on if he ever needs more
than 90 days of hospital
care in the same benefit
period. The changes
in these amounts apply
only to the hospital insur
ance part of Medicare and
do not affect the financing
of the Supplementary Med
ical Insurance—the volun
tary program which cov
ers doctor bills and a wide
variety of other medical
services.
More Aluminum
Being Used Now
NEW YORK—More alum
inum is being used in new
cars than evei before but
it you’re a new car owner
you’re probably noticing it
less.
The explanation is that
while use of aluminum in
auto trim and accessories
has declined slightly be
cause of styling changes,
it has increased in under
the-hood items, notably
transmissions and engines.
No profit, glows where
i. no pleasure ta’en.

and strong, a metal ski
turns out to be much
thinner for the same flexi
bility than skis made of
fibrous materials.
There is no question
about the durability of
metal skis; it has been a
major factor in getting
skiers to upgrade their
skis to metal. Durability
is a key point with recrea
tional skiers who should
measure the economics of
skiing in terms , f the
number of seasons of
skiing they’ll get for their
investment.
