Prrester LIGHT RAFTS CAN MEAN DEATH AS WELL AS FUN Followingý another drowning of a child who floated out of his depth on a plastic raf t at Wasaga Beach, a Stayner coroner ,4aid hevould like to see police put a bullet into every sucb raft. Th(, proincial police officer who testified agreed with the mnagis- trate. a- d wishied that the law permitted him to do so. Putting bullets into the rafts would be no týlution at ail, as the ra 'istrate ýwould undoubtedly agree i a calmer moment. The rafts cai be dangerous, but so ca'n ail the other tbfr.gs o'n which people1ý of il ages float about on the %vater-including boats. Te deg-ree ýDf danger depends on, their use., The fact is that parents who permit small children to play with gadgets that could be dangerous without proper supervision aeinviting disaster. The responsibility of the parents in such cases iF, indeed heavy. Rubber ai-d plastic rafts-and devïcesý used as r-afts, such as air mattresses-are fun in the water. put they can be -langerons even to gr'ownups. Tw,ýo young men diowned in Lake Michigan .,a few days ago). They floated out on a rubber raft and were- driPven jarther but by the wind, which appýrently was too stironrg for them to paddle the light craft back to shore. If a stiff wind is blowingi. off shore, it îs obviously foolhardy to venture out where the wind can pusli the raft with grim speed iway from safety. Somne rubber rafts are used by f ishermen, but any expez$.ý ence<d ishermnan has a light anchor r,ýady to drop in case -the wind begins to p;ay tricks withhis -raft. If aduits cannot handle the rafts in a wind, 'oertainly a cýhild cannot, and parents should realize this. When they permit their thildren to, play with the rafts or mattresses or tubes in the water, they should make sure that there~ is proper supervision, Properly handled, the rafts are fun. It 18 up to the parents to mdke sure that (,he fun does not turu to tragery. w' -y i Letter 1o The Edji August Mr. Roy Forrester, PuMlisher, Orono Weekly Times, Orono, Ontario. tor 1 th, 1959 Dear Roy:!
