Parts Of Call For Travel and Adventure By Edward H. Sims This is the time of year when sportsmen begin to think of skiing and without much doubt this is a coming sport in the Unity! States. Should you ski? Are artifi cial-snow ski resorts which are popping up in some more southerly areas good enough for the genuine snow skier? Is it best to go to the more northerly and higher resort areas, where there is likely to be ample snow? These are some of the questions the beginner might ask. The an swers are not too difficult. First, anyone can learn to ski who is in reasonably good physical condition -and age is not a bar. at least up to the sixties. The legs are of pri mary importance. If you are older than Ulirty or if you have not been athletic, or are a "city slicker" begin to exer cise your legs at least three weeks before skiing. A good way to do it is to practice knee-bends, with your hands out-stretched. After you get to the stage where you can do fifty easily, then begin to go down on one leg, rather then two. When you can lower your body to your heel or thereabout and lift again, with one leg. you're in condition. Balance is another primary factor. You'll need to remem ber that your knees will be bent most of the time when skiing and that your arms will help you balance (with poles), so if you strengthen legs and knees and balance you'll be on the slopes sooner at the ski resort. There is a new material being used this year by the artificial snow makers which seems to have much promise but we'll wait a year to see how it proves out in use. Some who have experimented with it in New Hampshire give it high marks. But, in general, if you art' learning, go where the snow is. For skiers who already have learned, artificial snow or artificial surfaces might sometimes suffice. But with artificial snow you miss those wide slopes, and you can never veer off on your own, on seldom-used trails, and descend into a valley as a trail-blazer. The best skiing is not necessarily in Europe but the best organized skiing on a large scale is still to be found in the Alps. And it is surpri singly inexpensive to ski two or three weeks there-for Americans that is. The best method to avoid accidents is to enroll in ski clasp s at the beginning of vour v inter holiday and one shouldn't venture out on the slopes from these classes, until the instructor says it's safe. Ninety per cent of skiing injuries could be avoided and are caused by victims' trying to f goods. Most men judge their tellow-man b\ the way he aff?-pt ' them and their ideas. - OPEN FRIDAY NIGHTS TIL CHRISTMAS - LOUISIU'RG'S LEADING JEWELERS WATCH ES and DIAMONDS Silver Jewelry Radios - Clocks Bibles ?
