Commander Jack Shirley will give hints to beginners in ski-ing.

Not long ago winter sports abroad were the privilege of only a fortunate few. In these days of cheap travel and favourable exchanges, however, snow with sunshine is within the reach of limited incomes. This demonstration will show viewers how they can get their muscles toned up for a strenuous bout of ski-ing and skating, and will give general hints to beginners. The latter will be illustrated by films showing simple turning and stopping on the snow, and in addition there will be a display by mannequins - their costumes will be helpful to those uncertain of the necessary kit - who will demonstrate exercises.
