KATE SMITH “BOB-SLEDS” AFTER A. & P. “COFFEE TIME,” AS “MOON GOES OVER MOUNTAIN” Bob-sledding, a fast and exciting pastime for those who en joy speeding around dangerous curves at sixty miles an hour, is the newest addition to Kate Smith’s list of winter sports. The popular radio songbird is an ardent winter sports fan. Immediately after her Thursday evening A. & P. “Coffee-Time” broadcasts, heard every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday at 7:30 P.M. (E.S.T.), over a WABC-CBS network, she dashes off to Lake Placid in the Adirondacks, remaining at resort until it is time to return to New York. BOB-SLEDDING ON LAKE PLACID She enjoys sleigh-riding: and to bogganing and recently began to ice skate. Now that she has taken up bob-sledding, she contemplates mas tering the intricacies of skiing. That, she confides, will be the next step. “I felt much encouraged when I finally succeeded in going around the skating rink five times myself,” she declared in an interview. “I fell down a few times,, though, before I reached that, point in my progress. The instructor says I learned skating so easily that skiing should come next on the program. “Winter sports are all marvelous." The air is so clear and so cold. I come back to New York feeling like a new person. After a week-end at Lake Placid, I’m refreshed and full of pep. I attack my work with re newed vigor and enthusiasm.” Kate not only participates actively in sports—she is also in great demand as judge of various contests and races. Recently she served as honorary judge in the Adirondacks Bob Sled Club’s annual intra-club race, in which forty-nine teams competed. The win ners received the perpetual challenge trophy donated by Governor Her bert Lehman of New York. Miss Smith plans to donate her own trophy next year, either as prize for bob-sled racing or as a reward for general all-round excellence in the various winter sports. ( The week-end of Feb. 21-22 was a gala occasion at Lake Placid. The radio star was judge for the annual international sports events, with hun dreds if teams and individuals from the United States and Canada com peting. This is the fourth year of week end visits to Lake Placid for Miss Smith. She started going there on recuperating from an attack of pneu monia, she was advised to spend sev eral weeks in “either a very hot or a very cold climate.’ She chose the cold climate and spent nine weeks at the resort, taking her entire or Set This Picture In Your Mind!

Broadcasts were relayed from Albany, since there was no radio station at Lake Placid. Since that time, she has been a re gular Lake Placid visitor, both win ter and summer. Every week, the Thursday evening train from Grand Central station is held up ten minutes just for Miss Smith’s benefit. The train is supposed to leave at 7:45 P. M., but departure is delayed until the songstress arrives from the CBS studios. Up in the Adirondacks, the temper aturt drops to 36 degrees below sero but this extreme cold is exhilirating, Miss Smith claims. And when the moon comes over the mountain, at Lake Placid—the view is extraordi narily beautiful.

Nineteen movie theatres are said to be indulging in the obnoxious “chiseling” tactics, which organised labor expects to re form. The surest way to keep organised workers on their jobs is to purcWee their Label goods. Demand the V*v on Label. When you buy foreign-made goods, you are cutting your own pay. Don’t chisel on yourself. Rco.uArAT.orr. The Cost of Reddy Kilowatt s Services is a Small Item in Housekeeper's Budget In terms of other necessary commodities which the householder buys the cost of Reddy Kilowatt’s services is a small item. In these days, when the prices of food stuffs and other things are rapidly in creasing, the cost of electricity is even more striking in contrast because electric rates are constantly decreasing. The average cost of electric service to the more than 20 million homes in America, that have service available to them, is less than nine cents per day. Compared with other expenditures made by the average homekeeper, his electricity costs per day. —Less than one large loaf of bread. —About a pint of Grade A milk. —Less « cake of good toilet soap. —Less than a dish of the best ice cream. —Less than half the price of one ticket to the movies. —Two-thirds the cost of a package of cigarettes. —Less than half the price of one gallon of rrasohne, or a quart of oiL Reddy Kilowatt’s wages play a relatively insignificant part in the average con sumer’s monthly budget and yet the householder probably receives more, in comfort and convenience, from his services than from any other expenditure he makes.
