JReporfer Has Agonizing Brush With Hoola-Hoops

Editor’s note: Maury Vincent, reporter for the Mt. Clemens, Mich., Monitor Leader, had an agonising weekend brush with the current hoola-hoop erase. He relates bis experiences in the fallowing dispatch. One vital statistic—Vincent is 36 sedentary years •Id. By MAUBY VINCENT Written for DPI MT. CLEMENS. Mich. (UPD—I’m too hooped to participate. During the weekend we got all wrapped up in a new toy that is sweeping the nation — the plastic hoola-hoop. It transformed what was to have been a quiet and peaceful two days into a' whirling round of activities. It started when friend wife bought son-almost-six a hoop to keep him occupied when he isn’t going to school, collecting frogs, chiseling cookies from neighbors or deep in angelic sleep. The first thing he did was turn and say, “Show me. Pop.” Now I recall — through some hazy memory of a school course here and there — that the twirling would be created by momentum of perpetual motion somewhere in the vicinity of the hips. Advice from Expert So I tried—and tried again — and again. The result was always the same. The hoop promptly dropped around my ankles. The “wiggle” that would have kept it rotating like a moth around a lamp bulb simply wasn’t there. By Sunday I was achingly aware that within my sacroiliac somewhere the fluid had run dry and the joints creaked. Determined. I consulted an expert—perky, pony - tailed Sandy Sue Cook. 14, of St. Clair Shores, who demonstrates the hoops at a dime-store in Mt. Clemens. — "Nothing to it. It’s easy.” she smiled, keeping a dozen in orbit at one time. Her trim body, trained by several years of ballet and tap dancing, was coordinated as she twirled gracefully. Sandy had never seen a hoop until Tuesday. She walked in at 12 noon and by 2 p.m. was on the floor demonstrating at the toy counter. Helped Her Reduce Now she can spin the hoop

around her neck, arms, waist qr knees, slsip rope with it and even move it from one part of her body to another while twirling. "It’s good for the waistline, too," she said. “I lost three pounds in five days. I needed to lose, j I was getting a little heavy.” IVital statistics: Sandy is five feet one and weighs 96 pounds.) The pony tail bounced and the hips rotated. “Nothing to it,” Sandy said. “You just gotta have the right wiggle.” Hoops for Everyone The hoop fad has caught on faster than free-loaders at a political picnic. Children from tots to teens—and many grownups—are gyrating at the rate of 20 million or so. Experts estimate another 15 to 20 million hoops will be sold before the toy becomes obsolete. Most hoops measure 35 or 36 inches in diameter, but smaller ones are being produced for the tiny tots. s “Once you get used to them, there’s no strain at all,” said Sandy, the expert. That may be so. But after my joust with the plastic circle, I gu«ss I’ll never get hep to the hoop. , At the Adams county memorial hospital: Russell and Faith Settlage Walchle of route 3, an; the parents of a seven pound, seven ounce boy born at 12:08 a.m. Sunday. A five pound, 14 ounce girl was born Sunday at 12:01 a m. to Jacob and Mary Wickey Colblentz of route 2. "Berne. At 9:47 o’clock Sunday evening.
