How low Are. Your Little Ducks? Suzy Learns Of Latest Physical Ed Trends By SUE JONES “Six little ducks I used to know| P#9* 10 .

Bat the one ‘ittle duck with thé feather on his back, he ruled the others with a quack, quack, quack!” For the past several weeks par- ‘ents, of first and second graders allover Key West have heard this refrain from the time the kids get @ut of school until nearly bed time. After listening to it daily for a couple of weeks, and after a little quéstioning of the unusual postur- ings and peculiar methods of am- bulation that has been curreht, a. round our house it develops that all the small fry in the neighbor- hood have been practicing for the Physical Education program: slat- ed for tomorrow night at the hizh school athletic field. It still didn’t make: sense until father explained patiently that the | _ kids were actually practicing “mi- meties.” Still no gleam of understanding, Father sighed and launched into an untechnical explanation. It-seems — and this is for the benefit of harrassed mothers in the same situation — that “mimetics” is a coined word for sugar - coated calesthenics. The newest theory of physical education in the elementary grades whieh has been greatly accelerated | in Monroe County Schools in the | past few years is to let the small | students have fun by imitating ducks, elephants, bears and a num- | _ ber of other animals. i they are having ‘fun with all “make believe,” legs are Strengthened, backs straightened and round shoulders corrected. It's.a far A from the days when Phys. Ed. consisted mainly et in a straight line be- hind the teacher and counting one two, three. Another interesting thing I learn- ed was that these exercises do nice things-for more mature figures. “Six little ducks I used know —” Bahai’s Slate Public Meet Friday Night The Baba’is of Key West will hold a public meeting Friday, Nec. 10 at 8 p. m. at the Woman's Club, | 319 Duval Street.

In the 2nd Book of Peter chapter | 3 wé read: “But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one | day with the Lord is as 1000, years, and a 1000 years as one! day.” The Baha'is point of that this means the teachings of.a prophet have a dawnjng at the time He be- gins His ministry, These teachings, they continue, reach the zenith or | ‘noon = time when they cast the greatest power over the earth; | then begin to wane until once a- gain darkness appears or the peo- ple have turned to their own in- terpretation of His teachings. This leads to disunity; culminating in many sects and denominations. When the hearts of the people have waxed cold, a new day ap- pears.

FAY WASHINGTON (P—~Asst. Seere- jtary of the Navy James H. Smith says the big U.S. 6th Fleet with its aircraft carriers is kept in the Mediterranean because the oe Atlantic Treaty command, of which British Field Marshal Mont- gomery issdeputy, wants it there, But Smith makes plain that: the Navy isift there by its choice, be- cause the confines of that narrow fleet. Smith’s views came to light to- |day in an outline of "material he prepared for use at a news con- ; ference Monday, but all of which jhe did not use at that time. He made the remainder available to- day. Smith, who handles naval air affairs, called the Monday confer- | ence to reply to some of the points raised by Montgomery in an ad- trained and grow toward God. The Baha'is believe this dawning has once again appeared. As 2,000 years ago Jesus the Christ brought us the law of love, Baha’u'llah, the Glory of God, the manifestation for today is bringing us the- law ‘of nity; forever be obliterated from the face of the earth.

In Smith's notations,-he said Montgomery focused his discus- sion on Europe, the North Atlan- tic and Mediterranean, which the American Navy official called “velatively small areas: compared to the Pacific and Asia,” Then, still referring to Montgomery, Smith wrote: “He talks about the fact that | navies in narrow seas such as/| the Mediterranean do not need, their own air forces. Yet the or- ganization.
