SAFETY AFLO..T tom No. 2 of a series of itoms being printed in the interests of water safety. "No matter how careful you are, some- body is going to fall or jump off the boat, If they enn't swim and are not wearing 2 life preserver, they must be rescued in- mediately, Even good swimmers should be watched closely to make sure they aren't in difficulty or that the boat isn't draw- ing away from them too fast, In rescuing a person from the water remember these rules: First of all... don't be a big hero and jump in after him. This is a natural impulse and - wrong one, Persons have been known to do it without thinking leaving no one left in the boat, which drifts away. Throw a line or e ring buoy, or one end of a towel or blanket or whetever you have handy. Red Cross enalls this renching assist and recommends it as the best pro- cedure. Next best thing to « regulation life- ring for rescue work is this home-make equivalent; take on empty gallon-size paint tin or lerd peil with loop handle, seal both ends and attach a length of line. Kept handy on borrd, at wharves or jetties, the water-tight peil can be flung with al- most as much accuracy as a ring buoy and will keep e man afloat cqually well. fin ordinary bucket attached to a length of line is useful the same way. clinging to en inverted bucket with air under it «nd edges submerged a man can support himsolf in tho water indefinitely. i, cotton shirt has saved the life of more than one level-headed emergency victim. Tho trick is better with a little practise and the Red Cross suggests that boaters try it sometime in shallow water against the day when they mey need it in earnest, the wenrer treads woter, he ties his shirt tails securely nround his waist; by blowing into the neck opening he fills the shirt with nir; he secures the air by holding the By collar tightly closed with one hand, and the infleted shirt will help buoy him up, con- serving his strength until help arrives, The Red Cross warns that this useful trick requires some energy. If you need it, don't wait until you have been in the water so long you haven't the strength to try. your life depends on your shirt, get it working for you carly, and be safe," o-0-0 FOR S:ALE 1950 Black 4-door sustin with white- wall tires. apply J.
