it did to my silhouette.
After that night, whenever I
saw anvone takmi; exercises it
was all I could do to suppress
a scream. Only recently have I
been able to conquer the phobia.
Kor this I give credit to a new
booklet published by President
Kennedy's Council on Physical
Fitness.
Titled "Adult Physical Fitness."
the booklet presents a Droeram
of exercises in such a way "that
even the elderly, the inactive and
the overweight can perform
jthem."
A funny thing, though. In the
photographic illustrations, the
models who arc demonstrating
the exercises are young, ebullient
and svelte.
Anyway, I took tlie booklet
home and turned to the page of
warm-up exercises. They consist
ed of 10 bend and stretches, 20
knee lifts. 20 wing stretches, 10
half knee bends, 30 arm circles
and 20 body benders. That left
me completely out of breath.
1 figured that if I got out of
breath just reading about the ex
ercises, there wasn't much point
in doing them. So I got down on
the floor and rolled around for
awhile.
It was like old times. Rolling
was fun again. The booklet had
stripped away all of my inhibitions.
How Much Did Rescue Cost? No One Knows, Or Cares
HARRISBL'RG, Pa. il'PI'
How much did it cost to reclaim
David Fellin and Henry Throne
from tlie dark pit :ioa feel le
neath the earth. Right now, no
body knows. Right now, nobody
tires.
All that matters is tliat Fellin
and Throne are safe and that
man has won another of his end
less struggles against the whims
of nature.
Cost was never an object. Not
when human lives were at stake.
And no matter w hat the cost may
be. the state of Pennsylvania is
.vady to pick up the tab. a
snokesman for the Department of
Mnt's said.
Who was involved.'
.Men and women above ground
in Sheppton who retted to aban
don Fellin and Throne even though
at times it seemed their task
was hopeless.
Men in Washington w ho ordered
military helicopters into llic
area.
Scienlils who sent raduiactixe
material to bring a mine rescue
attempt into the atomic age for
the first time.
Texans who shipped up bits to
cut through dul. clay, rock and
coal and carve Fellin and Throne's
shaft to safety.
The Salvation Army with its
pots of hot coffee.
The equipment company with its
giant drill.
How many man hours were
spent during the two weeks of the
liscue operation? Again nobody
knows because nobody bothered
to add them up. Over-time was
not an issue. This was democ
racy in action.
This is why the spokesman for
the State Department of Mines
said nobody has any idea of what
the figure will come to.
He pointed out lliat much of the
work was done by volunteers ami
that a good deal of the equip
ment was donated. He said the
slate budget office and tlie gov
ernor had agreed that the cost
was no object.
In Washington federal authori
ties were unable to place a price
tag on the large-scale operation
and indicated it probably couldn't
ue calculated for some time.
A Bureau of Mines official ami
two assistants are at the rescue
.cene. Their salaries, per diem
and transportation represent a
tiny item ui tlie total cost.
The big cost will come from
transportation, the use of such
materiel as communication equip
ment and man-hours of work. In
volved in the o p e r a t i o n s are
Army, Navy. Interior Department
and Atomic Energy Commission
personnel.
The cott undoubtedly will be I
substantial but no one as yet has
t ickled the formidable task of
calculating the over-all price of,
the rescue operation.
Much of tlie drilling equipment
v. tlie rescue site, the value of
v. Inch has been variously esti
mated at from $1).0U0 to quarter
of a million dollars, is owned by
ragnotti Tool Co.. West Pitlston.

The president of the firm. Louis
Fagnotti. was not immediately
aiailable for an estimate of drill
ing coMs, or who would pick up
the tab. i

'WHERE SERVICE STILL COUNTS'
THOMAS
"Getting dropouts to go back
to school is one tiling, but keep
ing them there and arousing
their interest enough so that they
want and do learn to become
useful citizens is quite another."
Dwight Follett, president of Foi
led Publishing Company, said in
Chicago recently.
Follett said the big question
facing metropolitan areas nation
ally that are conducting "drop
out drives" to get dropouts to
return to school this fall is, Why
did they drop out in the first
place'.'"
While there arc many reasons.
the most common denominator of
the army of school dropouts
which runs in the millions na
tionally and more than 40,000 an
nually here in Chicago is failure
in academic studies. Statistics
' show that between (15 and 90 per
cent of the dropouts are slow
learners and are from one to
three or more years behind their
classmates in achievement. All
have lost interest in -class.
Obviously, Follett pointed out.
"We can't expect dropouts and
slow leameVs'to go back to the
same classes they couldn't keep
up with before and do any bet
ter. They take off if we offer
them "baby books" even though
their reading ability may be at
that level. Nor can teachers
entertain them all day with mov
ies and color slides. This may
keep the 'kids' from tearing up
the school 90 per cent of school
discipline problems are found in
this slow learner group but it
doesn t lit the children with skills
and knowledge that will keep
them employed and promote re
sponsible citizenship.
fhe only answer then is spe
cial materials for dropouts and
slow learners. As publishers, we
have been flooded with requests
for materials for the slow learn
er. In our efforts to fulfill these
requests, we have discovered the
man who has produced the most
authoritative answers: Dr. J.
Abramowilz. supervisor of gen
eral education for the Farming
dale schools in Farmingdalc, N.Y.
"For the past 15 vears he has
worked almost exclusively with
tlie less able students in both
New York City's jungle and the
quiet suburbs. Here he devel
oped ms own study course in
world and American histories
which have produced such out
standing results that his 1 o w
achievers often top the average
classes on tests, and dropouts
have practically ceased in his
classroom.
"His secret is in establishing
a complete daily lesson success
pattern for the slow learner or
potential dropout. He has put
aside the bulky history text, the
slow learner s failure symbol, and
provided a series of nine unit
booklets that contain daily vocab
ulary study, reading activity and
questions to be answered from
the reading. Text booklets offer
the same subject matter as the
slow learner's grade level, but
are written in simpler terms at
his actual reading level.
"Daily, students grade their
own answers to the lessons, and
can thus feel an immediate
sense of success and accomplish
ment when they realize they arc
answering most of the questions
correctly. Lessons grow progres
sively more ditlicult and ac
tually raise the reading level
about two and a half years from
me Deginning to the end of the
course.
"In Chicago, for example SI
Gregory High School used the
mew text materials last year. 01
,31 failure-prone youngsters in the
I low ability grouping class, three
J received A's and only two ailed,
while the remainder of the grades
(followed the normal curve of li s
'0'sandD's.
"On Ihn li.-lnntnl r.-.i
exam which all World History stu
dents take including the slow
learner and gifted groups along
with tlie average groups a slow
learner made tlie highest score.
One boy succeeded in raising his
IQ soore 10 points during tlie
school year. While nearly every
member of the group has reached
the legal dropout age of lfi, all
have pre-registercd for school and
are most enthusiastic about re
turning in September.
"Since last fall Dr. Abramo-
witz has completed his American
History Study Lessons as well
as the World History Studv Les
sons and we are awaiting his
third text," Follett said. "An
overwhelming number of schools
have ordered the American His
tory Study Lessons sight un-
