He Plans 'Rowing 1 Vacation 59-Year-Qld Plans Trip Of 105 Miles SAN FRANCISCO A 59- year-old U.S. customs port patrol officer says he is "tired of doing something everyone else has done" plans to take a "unique" vacation he will row from San Francisco to Sacramento in a 300- pound, round bottom boat.

Leslie C. Hendry said he plans to row the boat, equipped with a rolling seat and spoon oars, from San Francisco's Aquatic Park on the waterfront, across the bay and up the Sacramento Pviver, a total distance of 105 miles as reckoned on land. He plans to take six days for Uie trip, stopping each night an hour after dark until he reaches his destination. According to Hendry, rowing is hobby with me. I took a similar trip in 1926 when a companion and 1 rowed from San Francisco to Stockton in about 24 hours." This time Hendry will travel alone, and carry a compass and provisions.

He intends visiting towns along the river and said his arrival at Sacramento "is rather indefinite," but thinks he can do it in six days "without any exertion at all." Hendry said his present trip was inspired by a recent magazine article which told the story of two men who rowed from New York to Europe in-62 days in an 18 foot boat. The year WHS 1S96. year of Hendry's birth. "Don't get me wrong," Hendiy said. "I have nothing that extensive in mind at the present time." The customs official said he expected the tide to help him along the way "since the geodetic survey shows a two and a half foot rise and fall of the river at Sacramento caused by 'he tide.

The tide dams up the river and slows it down which should make rowing easier." He laughed when asked how long he thought it would take him to make the return trip. "That I'm not sure of. I plan to ship the boat home ahead, of me and travel overland. the Rev. and Mrs.

Friends and acquaintances of the Negro family came from as far Health Tips Austin school should have a definite school health program. Situations such as. the kind of drinking water, arrangements for the school lunch, the lighting, seating, ventilation and cleanliness of the schoolroom, and the ner- s'onal practices of the teachers and children are the bases of the school health program, said Dr.

Henry A. Holle, commissioner of health. Every school has tremendous opportunities to promote the health of its pupils and of its community. From early childhood to early manhood and womanhood, most children are enrolled in schools and are under the supervision school staffs for a substantial part of the day for approximately half the days of the year. The conditions under which they live in school, the help which they are given in solving their health prob- lems.the ideals of individual and 1 community health which they are taught and the information and understanding that they acquire of themselves are factors which operate to develop attitudes and behavior conducive to healthy, happy and successful living.

Schools alone however cannot enable children to attain all the desirable goals of individual and community health. Considering the nmgniture and multitude of the diverse and continuing efforts that must be made to satisfy the health needs of children, it is fortunate that many people and groups, in addition to schools, are greatly interested in promoting health. Parents have a prime responsibility. Physicians, dentists, nurses, health officers, social and" welfare workers and their official organizations, such as medical, dental and nursing societies, health departments and voluntary health agencies are all rightly concerned with health activities in their communities.

Will these plans require money? for Insurance Counsel Representing AMERICAN GENERAL LIFE (foods Phone 2337 SEE The New '55 EVINRUDE OUTBOARD MOTORS REYNOLDS' MAYTAG By ROBERT F. MORISON WASHINGTON. Aug. If you think the greenbacks you handle these days are limp nnd worn out.

remember their condition is saving your tax money. The treasury, which issues all the SI and $2 bills, admits it is examining enrrpncy more carefully to be sure it is usable. If there's still some life in It, it is reissued. Sporadic complaints have come In about dog-eared nnd shriveled up bills being handed out by banks. Treasury officials claim their policy is to withhold mutilated bills but first to make them go as far as possible.

Bills Cost Eight Cents After all, it is pointed out, it cosl.s about eight cents to print a replacement SI or S2 bill and. with 1,226.000,000 of the $1 variety In circulation, replacing them about once a year can be expensive. The treasury here handles between SJOO.OOO and $150,000 in 51 and S2 bills each day. They must be counted and checked for possible re-issue to the nearly 20 banks in Ihe District of Columbia and nearby areas which get money from the treasury. Actually, one official explained.

"We only try to extend a bill's life a month or so." A crew of women counts and sorts bills as they come in hero from surrounding backs to decide whether or not a bill has had it. Some Prefer Old Money "The decision whether bills are fit or unfit is a hand operation and has to be done almost instanteous- ly. We have to do this fast or we'd lose money." the official said. The treasury figures it replaces its SI bills about once a year on the average. Its bills, and and $lO's, last longer, since they are not circulated as much.

Of course there are disadvantages to new money, too. It tends to stick together. "Quite a few people Mostly those making up payrolls prefer older money," a treasury official explained, "because there is less chance of error."
