PACK 16 - SUPPLEMENT TO MCHENRY PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, MARCH 24, 1976 How to be safe afloat when you go boating The prospectors often referred to water as white gold -- and the rush is still on today. According to the Bureau of Outdoor Recreation, swimming, fishing and boating are among the most popular summertime outdoor ac­ tivities. State and federal laws require boat owners to carry life preservers for every passenger on board. But before weighing an­ chor or taking a dip, every­ one should make a quick check of water worthy safety equipment. The nearest floatable ob­ ject is the best in an emergency. The ice chest and picnic jug that usually accompany you on aquatic outings can double as life savers. Experts at the Thermos Division, KST Co., remind us that all urethane insulated coolers will float. They can quickly be pushed or thrown out to a person as an immedi­ ate safety measure. A large stick or oar will serve the same purpose. If the person is near you. hold out a pole, a shirt, a towel or anything he can grab onto. If you know the water is not deep, the current is not fast and the bottom is safe, wade out to the person. But don't swim out to rescue a drowning person unless you've had a course in lifesaving. Too often the rescuer also drowns. If there's time, row a boat out to the person. A tired swimmer should hold onto the boat -- rather than climbing in -- as you row to shore. And -if the boat tips over, hang on. It will float. • 3 refrigerated shelves for fast freezing plus top cold plate • Foods easy to see and reach • Bulk storage rack • Only 28" wide, 56Va" high Ask about our SPECIAL TRADE FAIR PRICK CAREY APPLIANCE 1241 N.

Often stretch­ ing or changing the swim­ ming stroke will relieve the condition. Most of all, always follow the rules of water safety. Swim with someone near you, watch children all the time, and at night swim only in well lighted pools.
