slopes and mountainsides
throughout the country, you wiU
undoubtedly hear it repeated that
skiing is the poetry of motion.
If you want to believe that by
provinjr to yourself that you, too.
can ski, hark to words of Jack Alan,
who recounts his experiences in the
March issue of Cosmopolitan.
“Skiers,” he says, “art an institu
tion as old as the hills, although ths
hills, which stay still, are somewhat
smarter. Skiing was invented by
someone who decided that to flounder
comfortably through a few feet of
elean invigorating snow was not
nearly so convenient as plunging
headfirst into it at a speed of twenty
tniles an hour.”
As for the skis themselves, Alan
describes them as “ssven feet long,
made of overlaid strips of hickon,
and coming to a tapering point m‘
an evergreen bush. About one-third
of the way from the rear, th^
is a harness made of metal elampt.
Into this the foot is locked to re> ,
m»ii\ wtU the ehance arrival of '
sopie loiidly passer-by.”
Once you have mastered thtae
few facts, maybe you will be' m
fortunate as Alan, who writes bu

Yet, how many of us stop to think that the majority of our
organizations and their leaders rarely, if ever, consider, the
community first. With them, it is organization and commit
tees fir«t; community or mass activity last. No organization,
or organizations built upon such principles, can effectively
influence the life of the community, for the masses remain
inert until challenged, to action by wise and energetic leaders
and forward - looking organizations. The whites are only par

THREE THOUSAND people met death from accidents
in America ... on6 person every five and one-half min

Sixty-two per cent of all fatal accidents fall under

■ With the holiday season approaching, travel will be
in full swing. What would be the picture in your home
should you be one of the victims?
Insurance will not bring back a loved one, but
there is satiifaction in the thought that the future of
those left behind is financially secure. Can you afford
