Jump Rope- Is Returning Softball Standings The following are the current Standings as of Monday night in softball league play being sponsored by the Per quimans County Recreation Association : i WASHINGTON - Jump- log rope, once a children's game confined to play grounds and sidewalks, has become fashionable. $ Nonsense rhymes of Childhood have been Replaced by wheezing gasps oi exertion as Americans work to bring down their weight and build up their stamina by skipping rope, the National Geographic Society says, r Until the current physical fitness campaign, virtually ue only adults with jump rpes were prizefighters, for whom: the exercise is as traditional as a cauliflower iar. 'EVERYBODY'S trying ,' IT ? Now it seems as though JVeryone from actresses nd airline pilots to welders nd truck drivers is hopping mside a whirling loop as Jump ropes move from yms to back yards and basements wherever (here's enough room to avoid snagging the furniture. Trainers long have known that jumping rope regularly an increase a boxer's en durance. Today, basketball stars, tennis players, and Ather athletes are taking up the activity to keep in condition. tJJumping rope is touted as ijway to improve coordina tion, burn off some excess "lories, replace fat with itjuscle, and strengthen the Cardiovascular system. But doctors warn it can put un Jie stress upon the heart if fyerdone. Jjlt also can cause aching a Skins, sore joints, and ackaches unless the mper wears soft-soled , oes, bends the knees, and jumps just high enough to clear the rope. Fans, however, insist that a 10-minute workout with a rope is equal to half an hour of jogging, and said one: "You don't have to go out in the rain and dodge traffic." Adherents cite other ad vantages to jumping rope: It can be done in private, re quires little space and even less cash outlay, and is portable. The director of a health club in Los Angeles notes that "the jump rope fits easily in a suitcase." MODELS GETTING v FANCIER But as jumping rope has become popular, manufac turers have rushed into the market with fancier ropes. A purloined length of clothesline or a piece of No. 10 window sash cord no longer suffices. , Instead, jump ropes come with wood or plastic handles, some with roller bearings, and at least one with a digital counter. The rope itself may be three-ply cotton, nylon or other syn thetic yarns, or even leather. For faster turning, one firm makes jump ropes in loops like a pliable chain to reduce wind resista'nce. The ropes also are available in bright hues and colorful stripes, but these can sometimes be hazardous. An American visitor to Northern Ireland a few years ago reached for her jump rope only to have it jammed back into her hand bag by her alarmed escort. "Do you want to get us killed?" he asked. Pointing to its red, white, and blue pattern, he warned: "Peo ple will think you're asking their children to jump to the colors of the British flag."

HURDLE REALTY Handling all types of pro perty. Call me for all your real estate needs. 426-5916 HERTFORD, N.C -Summer Health- Winter is commonly the time for colds and flu and sneezes. But there are some diseases and accidents that do their worst in hot weather. Some of these are obvious. Sun strokes and heat strokes are more likely to occur in July and August than in January. Too much ex posure and too much exer cise in the hot sun may pro duce sun stroke. Prolonged excessive heat, either in or out of doors, can cause heat stroke. In either case it is important to keep the victim cool and call a physician at once. Sunburn has hospitalized many a vacationer. Everyone should know, says the American Medical Association, that gradual exposure to the sun, begin ning with a few minutes a day, is the recommended course. But many of us forget to watch the clock and to take precautions against sunburn in the ex citement of the first day at camp or at the seashore. The bacteria that cause diarrhea and stomach upsets multiply much faster in lukewarm foods, and it's important to keep cold foods in refrigeration and to keep hot foods hot. Swimming is fine exercise and also is good for cooling off on a hot day. Those with sinus or ear trouble should be careful about swimming. Swimmers should make cer tain that the water is safe . from pollution. A clear mountain stream may look attractive. It also may be loaded with germs. And there still are cases of typhoid and disentery from drinking untreated water. Campers can disinfect water by boiling or by com mercial disinfectant tablets. If there are horses or cows around, there is likely to be tetanus. Tetanus (lockjaw) is very serious. It can be prevented by injection of tetanus toxoid. If your fami ly hasn't had tetanus boosters recently, get your shots before going to the country. Flies, roaches, mos quitoes and ticks are troublesome in the hot months. Insecticides and screens usually can keep them under control. In tick country it is important to make a close examination after disrobing and remove all ticks.
