| PAGE TWO A preâ€"vacation warning was issued to Ontario residents today by Health Minister Mackinnon Phillips as he predicted that perhaps close to 300 people will lose their lives in drowning accidents in the Province during the summer holiday season. "Few people realize," Dr. Phillips said, "that our drowning toll in the months of June, July and August is almost on a par with automobile accident fatalities during the same period. Last year, for instance, 295 people were killed on our highways in the threeâ€"month period, while at the same time 258 perished in our lakes and rivers through drowning accidents. "The greatest danger lies in the 16 to 25 years age group, where, perhaps, some seem to unconâ€" sciously take chances or overestimate their powers as swimmers." _ g _ _ sw imImens. & The Health Minister went on to say that panic is possibly the most important single factor in these holiday water tragedies. He emphasized the imporâ€" tance of keeping a "cool head" in all guch_ mishapc. _ Dr. i;hil‘lip; listed these simple rules for water safety : â€" â€" â€" _ _ c 1. If you can‘t swim stay away from deep watzr' and out of canoes! 2. Never go swimming alone! 3. Never enter the water directly after a meal. Stomach cramps may be caused by swimming too soon after eating. Allow at least one hour after meals before taking that dip! 4. Float on your back if you get a cramp in your leg or foot, and, on reaching shore, rub the afâ€" fected part vigorously. ABOVE ALL, KEEP CALM! IOther Editors Se}y 20. DISAPPEARANCE OF "HIRED GIRL" (Smiths Falls Recordâ€"News) War always brings many changes in our acâ€" ecustomed ways of life and habits. One very noticeâ€" able one was the disappearance of the "hired girl" in many homes who left domestic life to work in munition plants where wages were considerably more remunerative and hours of work shorter. In many cases it was the passing of the hired girl era as few returned to domestic service other than via becoming married. . _ Many can remember with mingled feelings, the hired girl of your childhood. She usually came from the country, or she might be an immigrant "just over." With luck she might happen to be a vigorous Scottish girl, red cheeked and black haired, who wielded a mighty broom and rolling pin. Seven days a week she was on the job, doing the washing and ironing, the clea.ning,'m‘e_ co?king,L .am} WwaSsiililg altUe RROUERELN ES ¢ MA M P N q c qi the dishwashing.

At the end of seven 12â€"hour days she would receive gratefully her week‘s wages â€"all of three dollars or maybe four. The really sad angle of the "hired girl" era was the fact that just as she became indispensable, she would get married so that she could work 12 hours a day for nothing.
