Ice skating is a sport for people of all ages, a sport that gives you| pieasure and helps you keep heal- thy, cne from which you can ob-! tain either light exercise or a rig- orous workout. Boots should be laced loosely frem toe to instep, then pulled tightly through five eyelets and lace loosely to top. Lo skate, place the weight on the left foot, turn- ing the toe 45 degrees from right foot. Push away from left onto right, shifting weight simuitan- eously. "Repeat with right foot pushing and continue to alternate. A well bent skating knee is es- sentiai to speed and balance. You must learn something about ska-ing language so you can understand more readily the in- structions I will give. The blade’s skating surface has two sharp edges, with a hollow be- tween. The edge nearest the body, which rests on ice when the ankle is tuined in, is called the inside edge, The edge facing away from the body is the cutside edge. When you stand on both edges, you are on the flat. As you can skate for- ward and backward, these words » describe the direction of the edges. The foot which is skating is employcd, as are all parts. of the } body on the.side with the skating foot. ‘The balance foot (off the ice) and its side of the body are unemployed. Tracing is ‘the ice, mark your skates make. Lobe or circle is a circular tracing. Start rest, center, all mean point where school figure begins. j School Fivures Needed in Skating Competition Figure skating has two parts, i free skating—dancing on toe: | and school figures. The public is ‘more familiar with free skating, the kind featured in ice revues, but in skating competitions the school figures are more important since they count 60 per cent. A school figure is a pattern on ice in’ the, farm..of, the. figure eight, or an eight with an extra lobe, which competitors , retrace three . times.

Riding back to the center, the right knee bends again and your balance is on the back part of the blade. This provides momentum to close the circle. Now you start the second , lobe on your left outside edge. Where- as you began the first circle from a standing position, you now have speed up which enables you to stroke off onto the left foot for he second lobe.

(FNS)— ‘Labor ‘has become the acute prob- lem in connection with ‘the ‘har- vesting of Florida's 100,000-ton sugar crop, according to Jay W. Moran, general manager of the United States Sagar Corporation. : While the company is utilizing every possible mechanical help in this work, 1,500 additional hands are needed if quotas are to be met. Absenteeism on the part of many now employed is further aggravating the situation. Secretary Wickard has given warning that 3,500,000 persons’ will be needed on the nation’s farms next summer if agriculture is not to face a breakdown. “What is mot realized,” Moran said, “is that Florida agriculture is facing an acute crisis NOW, and action next summer will be ‘too late to ‘help ‘the situation here.” Democrats name Walker, de- nounce the opposition to Flynn bent right knee, on the forward part of the right blade.
