A quarter of - mile off shore motor quit and one of the party stood up start it. The boat capsized and four of party were drowned, Tragic stories such 2s this with slight variations were frequent in Canada last year, fmd every one of these accidents could have been prevented, for eech was caused by some= one's carelessness, Putting out in rough weather in boats that are unserworthy or improperly equipped, taking needless chonces, attempting foolhardy feats, forgetting the rules of water safety. There is a lot of fun to be had on the weter .. . good herlth-giving plensure in amnll bonts and larger ones .. . but if we fnil to heve respect for thot same water, if we forget or disregard the few fundamentals governing safety afloat, tragedy may follow, For years the Canadian Red Cross Soce iety has been preaching and teaching safe boating along with their swimming and water sefety program, They hve been trying to educcte the public not to do thoughtless, foolish things thet my lend to boating necidents, One dcy last yenr two boys went out on a lake in. "boat thet leaked like « sicve", Twenty fect from shore the bont sank and both boys were drowned trying to swim to shore, These boys had violated three of the first Red Cross Society rules of boating safety: Don't go out in a boat unless you are a swimmer or are wenring 1 life preserver, Don't use any boat that is not completely seaworthy. Don't lenve the bont if it cape sizes, Cling to it until rescued, Red Cross experts suggest a good first aid kit is 2 necessary piece of boating ede uipment. And . first cid kit isn't much use unless you know what is in it ond how to use it. As a matter of fact, Red Cross people suggest, it would be a good idea for everye one who does much bonting to take a first nid course. Representatives of either Red Cross or St, John's Ambulance can advise where such a course may be obtained," the to the 0-0-0 DON'T LET AN ACCIDENT SPOTL YOUR FUN
