With the first warm days of summer young people, and for that matter old ones, too, seek lake or river swimming hole or bathing pool. This summer, being no exception to the general rule, brings the news of many accidental drownings. Child life is besieged by many enemies in the form of communicable diseases. 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 standing ready for j any emergency. V 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 p -Panama, Montgomery county.

The following advice to bathers, if broadcasted in every community, and observed, will save many lives: Donts For Bathers Don't swim 'on a full stomach. Wait at least two hours after eating. Don't 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 thie 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 ready to stroke if you step into a hole. Don't loan backward when - wading into the water; always be ready to fall forward. • Don't cry for help in fun; you may some time need help and not get it. : Dont fail to lekPn the Red Cross life saving and resuscitation methods. Be capable of saving yourself and your companions.
