THE SUN, NEWBERRY, S. C, MARCH 13, 1942 T HE duffer in golf—meaning the millions who shoot between 90 and 120—may soon see new light through the darkness. He may come upon better days if instructive plans now set up by the P.G.A. work prop erly. In past years the duffer, or aver age golfer, has developed swing-in digestion from too many complex in structive mixtures. One teacher would tell him to do this and another would tell him not to do that, until his men tal picture was all badly blurred. At least this is the be lief of a number of P.G.A. instructors, including Lou Scott and Joe Novak, who know their trade. After more than 20 years of teach ing the young and old how not to slice or hook or top or flub, Lon Scott, the Lakeside veteran, has a new and helpful angle to present. This idea consists largely in wiping out all the old slogans, the old max ims and such that have baffled tbe golfer for so many high-scoring years. Things to Forget “We must first clear up the golf er’s mental blur,” Scott says. “He has been given too many things to think about and to work on. We have finally discovered that golf instruc tion must be simplified. Craig Wood and others have been working on this idea in Florida. We have been working on it along the Pacific coast. “Now here are the old slogans or forms that must be wiped out—that must be forgotten— “1. To keep your eye on the ball. “2. The straight left arm. “3. Any part of pronation. “4. The body pivot. “5. Swinging from inside out. '‘6. Weight transference from one foot to the other. "7. Cocking the wrists. **8. Uncocking the wrists at a certain spot on the downswing. ,“9. The upright swing. "10. The flat swing "11. Foot work. "These things may be part of a good golf swing,” Lou Scott says, “but who can put a jig-saw puzzle together in the second or so needed to start and finish a swing? It just can’t be done. So they all must be eliminated to give the golfer a new and fresh start in picking up the few fundamental things required for lower scoring. The Next Step “We will now,” instructor Scott continued, “take it for granted that the golfing brain or mind has been cleared of all the old obstructions mentioned before. What is the next move? Starting with a fresh slant the first move must turn. to the work of hands and wrists swing ing the clubhead. "You must know what your hands are doing, what your wrists and arms, all working together, are do ing in relation to the head of the club. Only the hands touch the club and only the clubhead touches the ball. “For one thing, the golfer must pay more attention to the pace of his backswing. The natural ten dency is to think only of hitting the ball, to think largely of the down swing. But after a bad backswing- there can be no such thing as a good downswing, unless an accident or a miracle happens. “Take a comfortable stance, un lock those feet and legs, and swing the clubhead smoothly back in a natural way. If you do this the body will turn with the swing and the foot weight will handle itself. If you throw a baseball you will find that the weight first goes to the right leg and then moves back to the left leg. But you don’t have to think about this when throwing a ball. It is a natural move. It should be the same in golf. Main Faults “What are the main faults among average golfers? The first starts with tension. The average golfer has no swing he can trust, he is trying to think about too many things, so he tightens up from feet to neck. ‘‘The first result is usually a hur ried backswing. This in turn leads to a hurried, jerky downswing and to head lifting. This will rarely hap pen with a smooth, even backswing where the hands are in control. “There must, of course, be a firm left hand and a firm left arm. But that doesn’t mean a tightened, straight left arm.” Golf is a two-handed game, but to most people it is strictly a one-hand ed game, with the stronger right hand in control. But the left hand must do its full share with the right. “We all realize now that the golf swing and golf instruction must be simplified. The golfer must be giv en only one or two fundamental things to think about. He can’t be expected to operate a jig-saw puzzle in about two seconds and make all the pieces fit. But if he can get. working co-operation between hands and chibhead he will at least be on his way to a much better game.” —Buy Defense Bonds— Slacks Ensemble With Skirt Is Ideal for Defense Work By CHERIE NICHOLAS '“TIME was when slack suits were "*■ regarded as an amusing and passing whim of fashion, especially by women who prided themselves on being conservative in dress. Never theless, slacks persisted in the mode, with the result that today fashion-wise leaders declare that slacks are headed for their greatest success season. Of course there’s a reason. And that reason is that they are undeniably practical. Women will need slacks for the busy life they must perforce lead in the days to come. You will be needing them for doing your bit in civilian defense, for work on the farm, for bicycling, for hours of rec reation and rest. Yes, there’s no doubt about it. Slacks have become a positive “must have.” In many jobs where women are taking the place of men, in field or factory, the call grows more urgent each day for clothing which hasn’t any loose gewgaws or extra full ness to catch in machinery. Wide slacks are no more practical than skirts. Utility slacks must be nar row at the bottom or caught in at the ankles after the manner of the workaday outfit pictured to the left in the above illustration. This surf blue denim coverall is one of the types favored for farm or defense factory work. Its surplice closing, tie-belt that eliminates the use of any sort of metal fastening, huge pockets and buttons for holding trou sers in at the ankle are required utilitarian features. A bright peas ant square tied about the head adds a pleasingly feminine touch. There is a time for work and a time for play. When work is done, slip into immaculate white slacks like those shown in the center of the above picture. Slacks are simply constructed and easy to make as these give emphasis to the growing sentiment among women that it is wise to sew and to save these days. This one-piece slacks suit is cut from a very simple pattern, and it is made of serg-a-hed, a wonder fab ric of all-rayon weave that looks exactly like an expensive French serge. It washes and irons beauti fully and can be had in white or a range of exquisite colors. Search the fashion centers over, and you won’t find a more complete many-purpose slacks outfit than the nicely tailored four-piece suit shown to the right in the above illustra tion. This foursome consists of slacks, coat, skirt and sleeveless jacket fashioned of black and white check rayon weave. Checks, by the way, are the rage this season for jackets and slacks suits. You’ll be seeing and hearing about checked fabrics wherever you go. This stun ning slacks ensemble is purposefully designed to take care of versatile costume needs for the woman who leads a busy life. You can mix and match the various pieces to your heart’s content, and it is more than a work suit. Whether you travel by train or by air, or motor to your des tination, or dash about town to keep appointments, this smart many- piece suit can be manipulated to tune perfectly to the occasion. If it’s a bright accent you are seeking for your slacks, you’ll find plenty of it in the new blouses that are made of the splashiest big color ful prints imaginable. When a yen for the utterly feminine besets you, wear a dainty white frilly and sheer blouse. Make sure that it is styled with a foamy white jabot, for they are wonderfully smart. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) ‘Menu’ Buttons •M Buttons are more decorative than ever in the spring fashion picture. Treated, for the most part, as trim ming or accessory accents, they are made to achieve striking effects. Use them on a jacket or a dress and watch the reaction of admiring friends. Among the stunning but tons designed this season, two of the most thrilling types are the ceramic roses used to trim the afternoon dress, shown at the top in the above picture, and “menu” buttons like the huge “turkey on a plate” but tons that dramatize the tailored jacket illustrated below. Remem ber, many a last year’s dress or suit can be made to look new with this year’s buttons. A thrifty way of achieving tha height of fashion! Lace Trims Dress and Even Serves as Buttons Frothy white lingerie touches will make their appearance as separate collars and jabots and various frills. There is also a new movement to make snowy lace accents look as if they were actually a part of the dress. A newly arrived black crepe frock has bell sleeves with a sec tion cut out, then filled in with lace insets that give the impression of lace undersleeves. New, too, are the lace rosettes used like buttons. Many hats are lace-trimmed and there is promise of a tie-up between lingerie hats and lingerie neckwear. Calico Skirts Printed In Gay Colored Squares Girls are going to have lots of fun wearing the new skirts made of quaint calico printed to look like big squares of different colors and de signs. A yellow calico skirt can be worn with a bright red blouse. Or, try a green skirt with an inset of yellow to match the yellow in a tri color blouse. For a dainty effect, wear a blouse of sheerest white lin- gerie with your calico skirt. Drawstring Very new and smart are straight coats, jackets, and even sweaters, that are brought snug into the waist line with a drawstring. It is a tech nique that is being applied to cloth and to suitings as well as to rayon wash materials. Perky Sailor Cunning are the new little sailors arriving for early spring wear. They are worn tilted provocatively over the eyes. In many instances the veil and the trimming is quite or nate. Eleanor Roosevelt ’INSIDE LONDON’ This is a particularly good time, I think, to read the article in Liberty magazine by John Gunther, and is I entitled “Lessons From Inside Lon don.” Much that he tells us points the way to the spirit which we must develop here. He was back from six weeks in London when he wrote this article. It is all the more vivid because what he saw is still fresh in his mind. He advises us to take bombings calmly, and I suggest that we un derscore one seutence on that sub ject. “A greater enemy than bombs —I speak quite seriously—is bore dom.” He suggests that we go about blackouts—real blackouts—witn cau tion. I think all of us will agree with him, that once having learned how to put on a blackout, we should not live in an atmosphere of con stant darkness at night. We should take to heart his ob servations on the acceptance of Rus sia as an ally by the British. We should remember the following thought: “The lesson from England is nevertheless clear, striking and obvious—that sacrifice is necessary to wage war, that the need of sacri fice becomes more urgent as the war goes on. One striking phenom enon in England is what might be called equality of sacrifice.” I went to the civilian defense rally one night at Greenbelt, Md., the housing community which Mr. Rex Tugweli had the vision to promote. The meeting was in the school- house, for they have there a real conception of community activity and work. Their Greenbelt Commu nity band gave a very good concert. They had good reports on the work they have done for civilian defense. Better than anything else, 1 had a sense of community spirit, which is what we must develop now every where in our country. —Buy Defense Bonds— ‘PRIVATE LIFE’ I had my first press conference back in the White House one day during the week and, quite obvious ly, the girls asked me how I liked my return to private life! It made me add up what really has been dif ferent in the past few days. 1 dis covered: 1, I have ryally spent sev eral hours reading; 2, I walked for an hour Sunday morning; 3, I spent | an hour in the National Art gallery Sunday afternoon. If you are in Washington, don’t fail to go to this gallery. You can’t possibly see the 90 galleries all at once, but a little at a time refreshes the spirit. Most inspiring is the fact that on a Sunday the place was crowded with men in uniform, young people, old people and children. I took my cousin, Mrs. Joseph Al- sop, to see the exhibits of drawings and paintings on defense subjects, and then we went through some of the Early Italian rooms. I found that she enjoyed the carving in wood of the Madonna kneeling before the Child, as much as I did. We saw a few of the Early Dutch paintings also, and had a glimpse of the different courts with their dis play -of flowers and fountains. I came away feeling a real gratitude that such a collection has been given to the nation, and that so many people seem to be enjoying it. • • • REFRESHING OPERA ' This is a young opera company and the orchestra and the singers are a most refreshing group. Their performance, given in English, was full of life. I discovered for the first time that Mozart’s “Cosi Fan Tutte” is really a comic opera, per haps not quite Gilbert and Sullivan, but certainly full of amusing by play. The audience, as well as the actors, seemed to me remarkably young. Service men and students were all about us. Many of them, of course, probably grew to love mu sic , through the youth concerts which Dr. Stowkowski gave, and which were always popular. The young manager of the opera company, Mr. David Hocker, and all the people who work on the mechanics of this performance, are so enthusiastic, that I feel it must eventually be a real financial as well as an artistic success. I caught an 11:43 train to Wash ington. It was an unbelievably long train and, being in the car at the end, we were almost in Wash ington before any heat reached my compartment. In spite of a certain amount of delay, I liked the trip and finished a book which I have enjoyed more than I can say. The charac ters in Ellen Chase’s “Windswept” accept life as it is, its sorrows and its joys, so completely, and live it without resentment. They make friends alike with joy and pain. This is a novel which will help us. —Buy Defense Bonds— WAR AND EDUCATION The National Education associa tion has sent me a publication en titled "A War Policy for American Schools,” in which they set forth the need for changing "the educa tion as usual” policy and adopting “educational priorities.” Many of the things which they suggest are, of course, things which should be part of an educational program at all times. I have a feeling that, perhaps, out of this crisis, we shall have a more such intelligent approach. —Boy Defense Bonds— l i i \ i 1 i i j i TONIGHT'S- to colds’ miseries.
