One of the fine spotting gestures of 1952
was, h our humble opinion, made by an Olyua-
plc girl champion. This an era h which
the great ke shoirs offer amounts almost
fabuletta to international title winners, and
there is nothing wrong nor unetlikal-ht these
poesessors of . unique natural talents selling
their wares to the highest bidders. Sonja Henie, Barbara Mui
Stott, Jacqueline de • Biel, the great Dick Button are notable
figures who have led the vast parade of ice stars into the monied •
ranks.
'Po ell thif, there's oue notable eiception. Because she be-
lieved her future lay tu other, far less glamorous roles than the
great ice shows provide, Britain's Jeannette Ailtwem the queen
of the last Olympic winter gatues, hung up her skates, refused a
huge offer, .olloosing, Id devote her life to charitable work that
involved menial and tiresome duties.
1
After she had stolen the head-iitues at the Oslo show. Miss
Ailtwegg announced she was through with competitive skating.
Few believed that she was sextons. It was felt that when the
"big offer” came along, Britain's girl chemploia would. suecrumb,
. liad most of the stars of her time.
• The "hig offer" came, an offer of 2000 pounds, or around
$4.000. per Week from the Musk Corporation oi America. But
stili this 21 -year-old daughter of a British naturalized Swiss
declined. She replied sitiaply that, she was not interested, no
matter htw high the offer. "I'm just not cut out for the bustle
and whirl of showmanship and it would make me unhappy to do
se" she said in effect.
(
Today Jeannette is doing something that is making her very
Nappy. &he is in Switzerland at the international "Pestalozzi"
village of Trogen. There she is helping in the British dwelling
to look after orphaned ehildren who came from a dozen different
nationalities. Her self-dmposed tasks for payment, less in a
year than she was offered'per day by the show magnates, include
the hundred and one daily -domestic ehores InvOlved in looking
atter ,children who, If it wasn't for such organizations as this,
and such seilf-sacridleing persons as Jeannette Altwegg, would be
thrown helpless upon the world.
This isn't intended to criticize, by inference, those who have
followed the dictates of a practical era, and decided to capital-
ize on the skill they developed through long and arduous hours
of practise. They're entitled to their rewards, just as 'Jean-
nette Altwegg is entitl to the rich satisfaction she undoubtedly
gains in her more h le sphere of life.

to find a way that called not for
