SWIMRING--A BODY PUTEUMR Swimming utilizes more muscles in the human body than any other sport. For this reason it provides an excellent method of developing a sound physique. A few fundamental water drills will strengthen the lesser used muscles of the body. Rhythmic breathing Kinhaling oxygen through the mouth with the head turned to the side then turninf the face downward in the water according to rhythm of the stroke! helps to buiio up tne body's oxygen capacity and is vital in gain- Q-is ing relaxation and endurance in the 4,32 .xx water. An excellent vari- ation of rhythmic breathing is bob- bing, 5' , C7 Cinhaling, submerging completely and ex- X -Qs halingg surface and repeat.l .'- T Y The :K Q: ,.

Ralph Ripley THROUGH FOREST AND STREAM Through forest and stream I walk alone Over rotten stumps and ancient stone. The mighty oak, the old redwood Under these I've often stood. The streams, the ponds and big lakes too, What do these things mean to you? The hills and valleys and rolling plains, The sun, the moon and heavy rains, The fish and insects and brilliant birds, The roving fox and buffalo herds-- These are things I see in my dreams. That's why I walk through forest and stream. Paul Robinson 27

UNTIL THE END It was late in the afternoon when the tide carried us alongp side a large battered pier which extended from the mainland out into the water for nearly three hundred yards. I jumped to the pier and secured the boat. From below I heard the low moan or my shipmate, Jim, and I knew that he needed attention. when I - reached his side, he managed to ask me where we were. That was a good question for I had no idea of our whereabouts. We had started from San Diego determined to live in peaceful quietness on a long pleasure cruise. We had headed up the coast and then motored by water toward Nome, Alaska, but here our luck failed. We ran into numerous storms, which ruined our navi,atlon equipment and wreaked havoc on the boat. After that we had drifted on for days, not knowing where we were. Meanwhile our supplies had become dangerously low. Jim Herrick, my mate, had been hurt during one of the storms and was confined to bed. Bill had been asking me for water since noonday but we had noneg I decided that l might find a spring on this island. As I walked up the beach I saw gun emplacements and tall look- out towers. I advanced further ans could see a runway and some battered hangars. Then I realized that we had drifted upon the remnants of an old naval base. It was laid out similar to one at which I had served in the South Pacific, so I knew about where everything was located. I decided first to go to the hospital to see if there was any medicine left. The building looked in good order from the outside, but in- side it resembled a cyclone's workshop. The medicine bottles were strewn about and broken as if the place housed a bunch of un- chaperoned lunatics. There was a peculiar odor that frightened me. The air was so dense and foul you could cut it with a knife. It smelled almost human, like an Eskimo's armpit. The odor became more Intense, and suddenly, the floorboards in the outer hall be- gan to squeak. I knew something was coming closer. l opened the door and found myself facetn face with an old man, bearded and crazed. After staring in astonishment for three or four seconds, l lit out of the hall with the angered Jap after me. He tripped over the pile of broken bottles which he himself had strewn over the floor, but T kent going and hid around the corner of the door. 1 did not hear the Jap get up, so I peered in the door and saw the madman lying on his back in the mass of broken bottles. 1 watched for some time without any movement, then I crept back into the room. I kicked him over on his stomach and saw that he had severed his spine. I knew then he would never move again. As T headed back toward the boat with the water I looked up and saw the PQEQGQ, yellow alert flag flying over the sands Unaf were once red with the blood or thousands. They could take it down now, for the last enemy had been killed. Tom Peachey GERMIT, THE WORM I know a worm. Vis name is Germit. He lives alone and is quite a hermitg We lives and sleeps in the earth by day, J And in the night comes out to play. We comes out after rain and sleet, And finds a dinner ready to eat. l om Here comes a frlghtfixl Tobin. 5209499000 fermit's days are done--I hear him Sopplng.
