MEET LORA' WOOD
A pretty American toon ago visitor to the Colony last week was Lora Wood, who arrived in Hong Kong with the American swim and water-ballet team for a series of exhibitions. Lora, 18-years-old, was born in Sacramento, Cali- fornia, on October 27, 1930, And 12 years after that, she was famous. Lora, whose fav- ourite pastime, needless to say, is swimming, learned how to stroke in water in her own little bathtub.
She got to love water so much (not necessarily evening baths in particular) that swimming came quile naturally to her, which was to make her famous in aqua sports all over the West country. of the United States.
