Negroes gained 33 seats in the state legislatures bringing the total to 90 of whom 88 are Democrats and two are Republicans. The sixth Negro was elected to the United States House of Representatives, John Conyers, Jr., of Detroit, Michigan. He joins the five Negro Democratic Congressmen who were elected. Besides the Congress and State . Legislatures, an additional 27 Negroes were elected to state and municipal political posts. Included among these are two Negro physicians who were chosen coroners in Indiana, Dr. A1 exander Williams of Gary and Dr. Robert C. Collins of Indian apolis.

One of the most exciting velopments in the fantastic popularity rise of skiing in this country is the recent development of the American ski technique. Many a novice skier in the past has been confused if not a little frightened by the many different ski techniques that he has read or heard about. Often he was inclined to forget the whole thing, but here at last is, one method of skiing that is simplicity itself, surprisingly graceful to watch, and best of all, extremely easy to learn and to master. Now anyone can learn to ski in a matter of hours. This new method has many advantages, not the least of which is that it is about the only basic ski technique that can be instantly adapted not only to different ski terrains, but also to every variance in snow conditions, from feathery powder to the corn snow of spring. One of this country's most accomplished and experienced ski instructors, Woody Anderson Page Mine who heads Treasure Mountains Ski School is a leading exponent of this new technique. There is no mumbo-jumb- o about the new American way of skiing, said Woody recently. Quite the contrary. It is not at all complicated and is fun to learn and a joy to teach. The basic movements are simple and come easily to the human body. I have always felt that skiing is one of the most fun sports in the world. It is a pity that some enthusiasts try to make of it a highly intricate and demanding form of body manipulation as nothing could be further from the truth. Here at the Treasure Mountains, my staff and I can not emphasize enough that the main tiling about skiing is that it is fun pure fun. Just learn the basics of the American technique and youre off to many winters of fun and relaxation on the slopes and in safety, and dont forget that skiing is one of the few winter sports in which the entire family can participate and belong, from the youngest on up. The Treasure Mountains ski school is staffed by some of the most competent and highly-traine- d skiers in the country. The school comprises eight full time and 25 part time certified instructors and is headed by Woody Anderson. He has been a certified ski instructor for 16 years and has been active in the Intermountain Ski Instructors Assn., serving at various times a spresident, vice president and chief examiner. He also was one of its founders. Woody is charter member of the Professional Ski Instructors of America and was chairman of their certification committee for three years. New!
