birthday their very wise mother
and father have decided to g.ve
them swimming lessons.
Miss Dowling, their instructor,
knows well how to make children
and water good friends fast. Her
methods will be of interest and
value to parents, children, and all
those involved in recreation

Every line of the story glistens
with the fresh, clean excitement
of children splashing confidently
in sparkling water.

Margaret Winstead Stillwell ,
soft-spoken, charming author said, j
“We had some snowy days last j
winter and had to stay home from
school. I always wanted to write, I
so I picked up the pencil and be- (
gan the story then. I decided it j
was just as good a place to get j
started as any.” j
Mrs. Winstead is thoroughly'
familiar with her subject matter. |
During her college years she was.
playground supervisor with the
Wilson Recreation Department, j
where she coached and taught chil- '
dren many games and interests, i
She smilingly said she is not!
athletically inclined, but she has no (
aversion to sports. She feels they i
are good and necessary to any way j
of life.
“After jotting down things in my :
story,” she said, “I would type
them at night. Of course, there
were some revisions to make.”
Writing, she implied, is not
easy when one has a full occupa
tion, family to look after, house
keeping to do, and other activities
