This < summer, being no-. exception to the general rule, brings the news of many accidental drownings. Child life is besieged by mafty^enemies in the form of communicable diseased. Preventive medicine has made much progress in recent years, and will make more rapid strides as the public conscience is awakened to the necessity therefor. Not only should the health of children be guarded while they are in school, but their summer sports should receive the same careful attention. Bathing beaches, summer resorts and public playgrounds where swimming pools are maintained not only educate their patrons in the matter of life saving, but have life saving crews standings ready for any emergency. Rural communities, however, depend on nearby streams, natural or artificial lakes, and have given little thought to the manifest dangers of "The Old Swimmin' Hole." Within the past few days a small boy at Jerseyville dived into shallow water and was drowned before aid could arrive. Two days later two school girls were drowned in Shoal creek near Panama, Montgomery county. There have been four drownings in ake county this season. ^A"- young an) dived off of a pier at Crystal akje Tuesday and did not come up. 'J'W following advice to bathers, if broadcasted in every community, and observed, will save many lives: Donls For Bathers Don't swim on a full stomach. Wait at least two hours after eating. Dont swim if overheated. Don't swim until exhausted*. Don't swim if you have heart trouble. Don't dive without accurate knowledge of the depth of the water. Don't struggle if caught in a swift current or undertow; the force of the current will bring you to the surface. Don't wade into the water with arms over your head; you will not be reedy to stroke if you step into a hole. Don't lean backward when wading into the water; always be ready to fall forward. • Don't cry far help in fun; you may some time need help and not get it. Don't fail to learn the Red Cross life saving and resuscitation methods, lie capable of saving yourself and your companions. Don't go in swimming alone unless you are an expert.
