The Art of Gripping the Ball
Your bowling game starts the
moment you pick up the ball
from the rack. And, if you
don't pick it up correctly, your
bowling game is liable to stop
abruptly that same moment
while you nurse a set of bruis-
ed fingers.
When picking up the ball,
for safety reasons always make
sure you keep your finger and

thumb towarii the sides of the
rack. If you allow them to slip
between two balls, another ball
sailing back down the return
rack can give them a nasty
s crack.
Regulation bowling balls are
five inches in diameter, and
weigh three pounds eight ounc-
es. Many lanes, however, have
some balls which may be a
quarter of an inch smaller, and
several ounces lighter. If a
• smaller ball seems more com-
fortable in your hand, use it.

a small hollow space between
your palm and the ball, which
is actually resting on your fin-
gertips. The ball should always
be delivered off the fingers, not
off the palm. If you are "palm-
ing" the ball, you can't control
the exact moment it leaves
your hand. r
A handy way to check if you
are gripping properly is to turn
your hand upside down, while
still holding the ball. If the
ball drops on your toe—you
were palming it, not gripping
with your fingers.
All lanes provide towels, and
some device to moisten your
hands.
For a proper grip, your hands
should carry just a slight trace,
of moisture. If they're too
moist, the ball will have a
"greasy" feel; if they're too dry,
your fingers won't grip tightly,
and the . ball will slip away
• How ladies and youngsters with
small hands should pick up the
ball.
But, once you have chosen one
size of ball, stick to it. Changing
the weight of ball can throw
your game right off.
To pick the ball up, lay your
hand over the top of it. Then,
spread your four fingers down
along one side of the ball, your
thumb down the other side.
Youngsters, and people with
small hands often need to use
both hands to lift the ball from
the rack.
Getting a Grip of Things
For a proper grip, you should
hold the ball in your hand firm-
ly, but not too tensely, in the
same position in which you pick-
ed it up from the rack. Your.
fingers should be spread norm-
• ally around the ball, with your
thumbas high up on the side
of it as comfortably possible.
When you are holding the
baIi correctly, there should be

before you are ready to deliver

If you moisten, and the dry
your hands each time b%fore
you pick. up the ball, you can
be sure that your fingers will
have the same traction each
time you roll.
Stand Right To Start Right
A proper stance at the be-
ginning involves much more
than just getting onto your two
feet behind the foul line.
When you take up your posi-
tion,. hold the ball chest -high
in front of you. If you are
right-handed, you will be grip-
ping it in that hand, with the
other hand just touching it, to
help support and steady it.
Take up a comfortable, relax-
ed position, with your shoulders
squared parallel to your tar-
get. Your feet should be -slight-
ly "toed -in", with your toes
pointing toward the target.
Both knees should be just
slightly bent.
If you are going to step off
with your left foot, have it ex=
tended an inch or two forward,
with the bulk of your weight
on your right foot. If you stand
with your weight evenly dis-
tributed (as , most bowlers do),
this means an extra movement
to make, as you must shift your
weight anyway, before you take
your first step.
Now, you're ready to begin
your approach.

If Fire Should Strike
---This Is What to Do
1. When fire is discovered, even though it ap-
pears to be small, don't delay, but call the Sea -
forth telephone operator immediately and ask
for 100.
2. Don't panic! Speak slowly and distinctly, giv-
ing your name and location. If a rural fire,
give name, Township, Lot and Concession, lo-
cation of fire and best route from Seaforth.
For Example: 21 miles east on No. 8 High-
way and 5 miles north. Fire is in barn on east,
side of road.
3. Do not leave the
telephone until
you have given all
the necessary in-
formation.
4. If a rural fire,
alert your neigh-
bors and at the
same time request
them to bring wa-
ter in any contain-
er available at the
time. If possible,
stress upon t h e
necessity of keep-
ing roads clear
for passage of fire
truck.
Keep all doors and windows closed to prevent
drafts that might fan fires.
Remember that when the fire truck arrives at
the scene of the fire, the Fire Chief is in full
command.

How many times have you noticed
the above reported as the cause of
serious fires? have you ever giv-
en any thought as to safety of your
own wiring'—in your home, your
office, or your factory?

ELECTRICITY IS SAFE AND RELIABLE !
When Proper Observance is Given to These Simple Rules:
1. See that all wiring extensions are carried out by
qualified and experienced wiring contractors. This
insures final check-up by the. Wiring Inspector of the
Hydro -Electric Power Commission of Ontario.
2. Never use fuses larger than 15 amperes on branch
circuits in your house.

The fuse serves similarly to the safety valve of a
boiler.
4, Make frequent inspection of flexible cords.
5, Don't,hang any electric wire on nails. Don't tack extension cords to baseboards
or walls.
6. Keep electrical heating devices away from combustibles.

DO YOU GAMBLE
with
FIRE?
If your answer is a quick NO, think again! You may be
gambling with fire every day.
Do you think that by obeying a few rules you are protecting
your home and family from the danger of fire? If you do, you're
a real gambler, all right!
The only real way to prevent fire is to become aware of the
causes of fire. Make yourself fire conscious! The man who is
careful not to smoke in bed can lose his family, his home and his
own life as well, simply because the curtains in the kitchen were
hung too close to the stove.
Few fires start by chance! Most fires are caused by ignor-
ance or carelessness!
Other good rules: Be careful always when you do smoke—
Don't use frayed electric cords and make sure your electric wir-
ing is not overloaded—Keep matches away from children—Clean
out junk from basement and attic! Most of all
DON'T GIVE FIRE A PLACE TO START !
SOME GOOD RULES TO KEEP IN MIND ARE:
• Don't smoke in bed.
• Use only non -inflammable cleaning fluids.
• Don't use frayed electric cords.
• Keep matches away from young children,
• Clean out junk from attic and basement.
• Make sure your electric wiring is not overloaded.
• Don't use ordinary extension cords on heaters or irons.
• Be careful with lighted cigarettes.
• Make sure you know how to operate your oil stove.
• Watch out for sparking chimneys.
