Social Events u w Long distance iwimmtr Briiz Sullivan, iha 27-year-old bruntltt from Omaha, Nebr., emerges from pool after a few strokes lo keep In shape for her Atlantic ocean swim from Montauk Point, Long Island to Coney island. Miss Sullivan says the 128-mile swim will help prove man can learn to survive in water for long periods of lime. (UPI photo) Long Distance Record Sought By Former WAVE By GAY PAULEY UPI Woman's Editor New York - IUPD - At the age of two, Britt Sullivan was paddling around in the family swimming pool in her native Omaha. At 26, she set a long dis tance swimming record by covering the 134 miles of Ohio river from Cincinnati to Louisville in 59 hours and 46 minutes. Now, at 27, she is preparing for an even more difficult swim - 128 miles of the At lantic ocean from Montauk Point, Long Island, N.Y., to Coney Island. Or, she said, if she can get clearance from the New York harbor authori ties, she will try to add another IIS miles and come into the Battery at the tip of Manhattan island. Water Safety Lessons Will Begin Thursday A Mom and Tot swim class, consisting of four sessions, will begin Thursday, May 24 at 2 p.m., in the YMCA pool. The classes are free to all women with preschool chil dren who are interested in re ceiving instruction in water safety. Both the mother and child are in the pool during the classes which will continue at 2 p.m., each Tuesday and Thursday afternoon until com pletion of the four lessons.

And, if the weather is favorable, she will complete the distance in six days, or a total of 144 hours without ever leaving water. If the weather is less favorable, the swim might run eight or even nine days, she said. The Odds The odds on her completing such a strenuous swim? They're all in her favor, she believes, because she has the right mental attitude. This, said the brunette swimmer, is even more important than physical endurance. Miss Sullivan considers her swimming more than just a matter of setting records. It's a continuing experiment in man's ability to survive long periods in the water, and proof, to her and her doctor, that a once weak heart is good as new. "Last year on the Ohio." she recalled, "I got a gash on my head from a log , . . and it would have been easy lo give up because I was swimming with blood stream ing from the cut. I was in extreme pain. "But lo me, you don't give up the 70 miles you've al ready done , . . "Nor, if it were an emer gency, would you give up your life. I want to prove that we can learn survival for long periods in water. Miss Sullivan, daughter of a Army career officer now stutioned in Seattle, Wash., grew up in Omaha where she said she learned lo swim in a backyard pool. Joined Waves She joined the Waves after graduation from high school and was based at the Naval Air station in Jacksonville, Fla. It was Ihere that she learn ed of a heart weakness, when she gave out during an BHD yard swimming competition. Navy doctors ordered imme diate rest and then limited duly for the remainder of her military career. "They told me I'd probably have to lake it easy the rest of my life," she said. But Miss Sullivan went right on with her swimming avocation through three years at Washburn university, To peka, Kan., and Jobs as con tinuity writer at radio sta tions KTOP, Topeka, then WAKY, Louisville. Currently, she is leaching swimming lessons in Manhat tan for a chain of physical fitness centers But in a few weeks she will move to the environs of Montauk, the easternmost tip of Long Island, to begin her ocean training.

Pappy and Potpourri have managed pretty well, however. We've argued for years about the proper way to prune shrubs, Pappy thinks we're slightly touched on the subject of fuchsias, and Potpourri secretly wondered if he had taken leave of his senses when he came home from Arizona once with the pickup loaded with cactus and other desert plants. He put the strange plants in the ground and most of them flourished, in spite of the fact that one of the men at an inspection station had made him cut the roots off before he was allowed to bring them (through California.) One in particular flourished almost too well it is a yucca and the stout leaves if one can can call them leaves, with their necdlc-like tips, spread out over the patio with the result that one had to walk and stoop warily when in the vicinity or else suffer a painful wound. Once or twice we almost got up enough courage to sug gest that the thing be dug up and either discarded or else planted elsewhere. But this spring our complaints are sil enced. After 10 years the yucca is blooming and nothing which has blossomed in our garden has ever caused this much interest and excitement. Potpourri first noticed the big, fat bud in the center of the plant about three weeks ago and every day since we've made frequent inspections to watch its development. The stalk about two inches through, has grown about three feet in height and is covered with dozens of flower buds which have swelled and turned from reddish-brown to creamy white. Yesterday morning two or three began to open and by evening they were in full bloom beautiful and fascinating with heavy, waxy petals with pointed tips; the large pistil and stamens are also white. Each flower Is about three inches across. . Pappy searched through our book of Southwest mesa native plants and flowers and although a number of yuccas are listed, finally decided that this must be the yucca baccata. It is also known as the broad-leaved yucca and the banana yucca and among its common names are Spanish bayonet and soapweed. It is in the lily family (which seems strange to this amateur botanist) and according to the book's author, Pauline M. Patraw, has been most useful to the Indians in years gone by. She wrote "There are ragged looking fibers along the margins of the spine-tipped leaves. Indians avail them selves of the buds, flowers, fruits, seeds and young flower stalks for food and a fermented beverage is made from the fruits. Its fiber as well as its leaves are used for baskets, mats, cloth, rope and sandals; while soap is made from the roots." The botanist also stales that the yucca is pollinated by a small moth, and since it is unlikely that the proper moth is available in our garden, we'll be deprived of seeing the fruits develop. Pappy, of course, has been making colored slides of the bloom stalk as it grew and will have the series to add to his growing collection of pictures of native western plants and flowers. Potpourri is enjoying a week of spring vacation and the word "enjoy" is exactly the right one. Yesterday we reveled in the fact that we didn't have to rustle out of bed early and hurry off lo the news room. All day we wore our comfortable garden duds and had fun doing what the spirit moved. We visited the nursery, sprayed the roses, planted petunias and a tiny little rose bush which came all snugly encased in a little plastic sack. We also clipped grass (the velocity with which tne grass grows in our garden is astound ing) and even found lime to be neighborly. Just before lunch time we went next door to chat briefly with tlie Crouchers and admire their iris, now in full bloom and seemingly doing better than that in our own yard. There's no doubt about it, we've got to find time to trans plant some of our iris this year. Mrs. C, recovering from a broken leg, is now able to get about with one crutch and said that she has even worked in the garden a bit. A hoe. for instance, can be used to cut the weeds and then serves as an acceptable cruch if need be, she has discoveied. By the end of the week we expect to have the bathroom and maybe even the dining room painted, the rest of the flower seeds in the ground, the windows washed and hours and hours of reading to our credit. stay-at-home vacation isn't so bad. after all.

SP 2-4998 9 tional Congress of Parents and Teachers that runs through Wednesday. Quillen said since Sputnik schools have raised standards and given more attention to individual d i f ferences. He said special programs for the gifted, as well as for slow learners, have increased. "Through advanced place ment," he said, "college level courses are being offered in the high school and content formerly taught in the high school is being moved to the elementary school." Small Districts Hit Quillen also protested that there are still too many small, inefficient school districts in the country. He said it is pointless to talk about local control unless districts are large enough to do the Job. Earlier, Mrs. Clifford Jen kins, Roslyn Heights, N.Y., national PTA president, called on PTAs to look more closely at their own communities. She said they share the challenge of wiping out handicaps of poverty and emotional illness for children. The convention adopted a by-laws amendment aimed al preserving the tax - exempt status of PTA groups. The change defined legislative ac tivity as only an "unsubstan tial" part of the total PTA program. Attorney Frank Greenberg said the federal government has challenged the tax exempt status of Oregon and Alabama PTA congresses on grounds their programs in clude "unlimited" legislative activity. Delegates from Minnesota, Texas and Ohio opposed the change. They expressed fear it would limit the PTA as an action group.
