About the most unusual sight
one might see in a water skiing
show, or exhibition is that of an
elephant taking-»ao spin on skies
with a pretty young lady beside
him,
A visit to Ponce DeLeon Springs,
Florida,'might give one this plea-
sure, for it is here the water ski-
ing elephant normally displays his
aquatic skill. Marge Rusing is his
special riding companion. Pulled

growing concern in Texas due to
the rapid increase in the number

boaters, the increase in available
water facilities, and the tremen-
dous increase in water sports. In

and 169 firearms accident" fatali-
ties in Texas. In the past few
weeks 15 persons have drowned in
Texas in boating accidents during
the past few weeks.
