On arriving at the fence, remove both skis and throw first one and then the other as far on the other side as possible. Both ski poles should also be thrown over, a goodly dis- tance. You are then at a crucial point in your career. You can either climb through the fence and go ahead with your skiing, or, like Junior, you can say “The hell with it,” and go home. On our return to the Ski Meister, we met Otto Schneibs, the New Haven R.R.’s ski instructor and coach of the famous Dartmouth ski teams. Otto gave us a few don'ts for potential skiers, which a sadder but wiser Junior is only too glad to hand on to you and you. Don’T attempt trails until you have mas- tered at least one basic turn. Don’t ski alone on isolated trails. One accident and you may be stiff as a mack- erel before you're found. Don’t take a bottle along on the trail. Don’t rub frostbite with snow. | Don’t dash down an icy trail with no sank ility of control. ON'T carry your skis lashed together, Just carry them by the middle, un- strapped. That causes more confusion, it annoys more people, is likely to break somebody else's neck, and finally you will trip over them yourself. It was a tired Junior and Hennery that limped off the Ski Meister at Grand Central Station and made for their bed- dies like a couple of homing pigeons. Despite the tired feeling the unwonted exercise on the ski trails gives you, you'll find it a lot of fun. And if you can’t get up into the wilds of New England to do your fannydunking, there's a ski slide in Tudor City for the benefit of city softies. It's 285 feet long, 20 feet wide and 30 feet high at its highest point. The ptice of admission is twenty-five cents, and the ever alert Spaldings have set uj a booth where you can rent or buy all the necessary equipment. Go on up there and try it. And happy landings to you! Cavalcade One ratny Sunday recently, Junior start- ed rummaging around up in the attic. He unearthed hundreds of old letters, man- uscripts, theatre programs, magazines, newspaper clippings, photographs and effluvia. These old momentoes carried Junior back a few years, back to the midst of the depression. Remember 1931? Herbert Hoover was President of the United States . . . prosperity was just around the corner . . . radios blared “Happy Days Are Here Again” . . . men sold apples on street corners . . . a few begged . . . the Empress Eugenie hat was having its moment . . . the news- reel theater was an oddity... Amos and Andy ruled the waves at seven o'clock : failroad rates were three cents a mile . . . the best people were found in speakeasies . . . men starved on the city lump . .. we were on the gold standard +. every city had its Hooverville . . . Alfonso XIII ruled Spain with the aid of Butcher de Rivera . . . Major Bowes was an obscure real estate peddler . . . a letter traveled for two cents’ postage, if you had two cents . . . school children were taught that America was the great- est country in the world . .. many public schools were closed for lack of funds... Hitler was an obscure Munich paranoiac ... Goering was taking a drug cure... there were no canned fruit juices... Cellophane had just been introduced . . . Fred Astaire was dancing on Broadway with his sister Adele (People wondered what poor Fred would do when Adele married) . . . Huey Long was dictator of Louisiana . . . Franklin Delano Roose- velt was Governor of New York... thousand page novels had gone out with Dickens . . . Father Coughlin was a Catholic priest . . . New Deal was a bridge term . . . “The Barretts of Wim- poe Street” was packing them in on roadway . . . Shirley Temple and Fred- die Bartholomew were teething . . . the Brain Trust was teaching school . . . Mussolini attended strictly to his own business . . . the British film industry was non-existent . . . prosperity was just around the corner . . . the radio blared “Happy Days Are Here Again” . it was 1931! Junior’s glad it’s 1937. Ir’s a Bet How Many strokes does it take you to shave? Bill Lewis tells us that he has been picking up some change of late by betting his friends that they can't shave in fifty strokes, and no looking up or heeling the club in the rough! comicbooks.com
