ICS Girl High -Diver Dencriben Thrill WhfiL does a person think about during a 100-foot fall? Mont folks w!h> have fallen that far do not live to explain their mental activities during tip' descent. Hut to Mins Be* K^le, America's foremost woman high diver, it's all a part of the day's work. Kvery day Miss Kyle make* , two back somersuult dives from a 100-foot ladder into a tiny tank of water to thrill hundreds of spocta-' tors. Miss Kyle will apjiear at the Kershaw county Fair twice daily, ' starting November f>th and ending November Kth. 1 Not that Miss Kyle does not get u thrill out of it herself, because she declares she does every time she makes a dive, but she has too many details to think about on the way down to devote much time Jo i'"c' singulation. To be off guard for an instant during the Cow seconds In which she falls would mean doath_jir serious Injury. Hut let Miss Kyle tell it herself. "Take off, posture and l>alance <tra three of the most important elements j in high diving. Before I leave the pedestal, 1 must get set, jxdsing on the extreme edge on the toes and balls of my feet, my hands on my hips. In this position I can see the tank below and guugc the distance. "As I leave the pedestal backwards ! u slight push starts my turn. At first I see only the sky, then the i earth seems to whirl ujxside down and rapidly right itself a* I pass the half way mark. After relaxing for , the turn Ln mid-air, I must immedi ! ately straighten my body so as to . hit the water in it perpendicular po-. I eition. 1 see the water for the first time after leaving the platform, just i as 1 strike it. The instant I enter j the water 1 thrust backwards with my hands and raise my feet to avoid ) hitting the bottom of the tank too ha rd. "Yes. I almost always strike the bottom," suid Miss Kyle, smili.ig. "You see, there isn't much space in which t<> break a 100-foot fall in that shallow tank." Even high divers can point to their j "greatest thrill". Miss Kyle says I hers came two years ago in West J Palm Beach, Kla., when she made her dive in total darkness after the , electric lights failed. "I would not ha\e climbed down that ladder for anything in the world, so k simply had to dive. You see, high divers are superstitious about certain things1 and that's one of them."*' | I - | Evening Class Me^s at Ant inch The evening class at Antioch met Tuesday night for the purpose ot discussing asparagus. Mr. Fred P. Abbott, agricultural agent for the Seaboard Railroad, of Hamlet, North1 Carolina, led the discussion on as-1 paragus. He told of the methods ot planting. fertj.li/.ing. purchasing crowns or seed. The possibilities of ; growing the crop in the community wore good according to Mr. Abbott' as the soil is very favorable. Figures were given from farmers in North Carolina and South Carolina who are growing asparagus and in 1 almost every case when the farmers i gave the proper care and attention to their fields good net profits were realized. However, Mr. Abbott j stressed the importance of the ne- j vessity of every farmer contemp'.at- | wig growing asparagus to get *.:.e very best foundation stock to s!a:t N\ith. The best seed that is available i> generally the cheapest in the long run as the crop will be on the land for a good number of years. More than likely there will be some planted in the community the coming year. Mr. Abbptt has had practical experience with asparagus and he has promised to come hack at any time and assist farmers in planting or with any other problem that might arise. Sheriff .1. H.
