From practice for the grim business of to-the-death swords play has come one of today's best conditioning sports. More than 200,000 adult, college and high school fencers hail its benefits for health, suppleness and grace. Women are especially enthusiastic. Mildred Stewart and Helena Mroczkowska, showa here in action, are top-ranking amateurs. They're using foils, edgeless pointed swords. Other fencing weapons are the epee, more rigid than foil, and sabre, with cutting edge. 1.

Wirtz, who said the company “in- diacted willingness to transfer to the Government, without cost, the right-of-way, including bridges and other appurtent structures.” Wirtz said if the legislation is ap- proved “it is planned to utilize as a tramway that portion of the right- of-way extending from the Copper River crossing at Chitina to Mec- Carthy, a distance of about 60 miles.” Wirtz added that no highway or tramway is contemplated on that portion of the right-of-way between Cordova and Chitina.
