i:v;;'�`+�K'?z is `^�'•'...,...`'x'
from the United
Canada's athlete of the year:was born
when 16 year-old Marilyn Bell, a wholesome
slip of a high-school student, a girl who sings
in her churcR choir, seized the edge of a
boat at the Toronto harbor front and was
pulled from the water, after swimming the
cold, treacherous breadth of Lake Ontario
States to Canada.
This Canadian girl, with an immense heart in her 116 -pound
body, gave a performance , b'eside which almost every other
athletic feat you can recall pales into insignificance. Facing
competition from: the great, established star, Florence Chad-
wifek, who had three tines swum the English Channel, as well
as breasting the Catalina- Channel, -the Bosporous ..and, the
Dardenelles, little Marilyn Bell's chances for success in this
cruel test of heart and body were rated sub -zero in advance
of the race. '
;;, So, here was drama, here was stark courage, here was un-
believable stamina and will -to -win. Imagination is shaken as
you try to picture and analyze ,this tremendous feat. The kid
started from the New York side of the lake before midnight;.
All through the black night she swam, with icy waters
lashing into her face, blinding her, driving into her ears.
Slimy eels were clinging to her legs, fastening .their mouths
upon her, a sickening chapter of, the swim. Thus, all through
the night.
Carne; dawn she_was still 'swimming,. battling, her way along.
All day she swam, with the sun high in the, heavens, then with
dusk coming on. And 'still she swam -40 miles of it, they 'say,
as lake currents carried her here and there, before she reached
.the shore, after 21 hours in icy water.,
This rates. the greatest athletic teat of the year in Canada,
and we're not forgetting the double 4 -minute mile in the
Empire Games at Vancouver, as Bannister and Landy, great
Empire athletes, both raced within the unbelievable circle.
That 'was 'a mighty feat, indeed. But, ' after all, Bannister and
Lindy each tiad run ,the mile in,under 4 minut'es once before.
They were athletes who came up' to the Games fully prepared,.
trained to the minute. From either of them, perhaps not from
both, but from either, a 4 -minute mile was generally expected.
They were already famous.
•
But this- h' h-se-heol- kid t
� . this Marilyn Be•1.1, had never -
before
been
heard of. Her entry into the race was impromptu,
backed we imagine by no concentrated scientific training. What
training Can a kid of 1,6 .years do, besides a daily swim?
Her equipment, physically, as she entered into a gruelling
battle with the watery elements of the broad, cold lake, were
just her 'natural God-given courage, stamina and strength.
That's what, in part, . makes her performance so wonderful.
Canada's sports event of .1954.

However,, any sound' advertising plan should extend
over a long period and should be regularly spaced.
It is better to expand advertising over a regular
minimum plan than to spot it intermittently, so
that it becomes ineffective. Continuing copy keeps
your name before the public and in addition to
producing immediate sales, it tends to create
dependability and good will.

issue of the AMERICAN
