It was last Thanksgiving day that Georgia was stricken with complete ysis of her arms and legs while teaching swimming at a swanky Santa Barbara hotel. Taken to Los Angeles, where her mother lives, she was bedridden for months and even her life was despaired of. Learned to Walk ‘Then, without physicians’ prompt- ings, she undertook to walk. A few faltering steps resulted. She tried to swim and had to be rescued by Fred Cody, her coach. But she persevered. “I can walk pretty well,” the 26- 5 this "is done by turning a wheel with the foot just before the dive. Better Fulerums Says Phil Patterson, former pro- fessional diving champion, who is collaborating with her: “Most fulerums work so hard a diver often just has to accept what- ever adjustment he finds.

Staid clubwomen, who a decade before would have gasped with hor- ror:at the idea of wearing a knee- length skirt; now led mass-meetings in which women speakers protested that women would “nhever go back to | the slavery of skirts which swept | up the dirt in the street.” | /(Men took no part in this act| of -the show.
