The fine weather of last week end drew a 'large number of golfers to their haiypy hunting grounds on the Weston' Links and many interesting strokes were registered by the various players. One of the gentlemen putting so much vim into his play that the little ball went careetirng over hill and dale, catching the holiday spirit abroad, skipped out of bounds and -alighted in the adjacent farmer's pig run. Nothing daunted the valiant :spanen climbed the fence after his W I ard partner and by cleverly manipulating his stock finally retriev- ved it from among the twenty wee porkers, who were protesting in their own musical voices against the- pre- .sénce of the uninvited guests. Upon recovering his lost property, he head- ed for the next hole, nothing daunted Entries tor the Glasgow Cup com- petition will close Saturday, July 26.

On Thursday night tho, Kleinburg C/utr will pay a. visit to, their Weston friends and play on the local court. A keenly contested game is being looked forward to. Owing to Saturday, July 19th being the National Peace bay and the hold- ing of special Municipal celebrations in honor oCthe signing of these terms in Brampton, cthe'lavtrosse ttdine sche- duled for trivdatiy"bet'ween Brampton and Weston to be‘played on the'Wes- ton grounds has been indefinitely postponed. T 4 The next home game will be played on Saturday, July 26th, between Mimi-. co and Weston. The public are ask- ed to turn out and by their presence encourage the boys to put their best energy and effort into these league games. Clean athletics is the back- bone of the youth of to-day and we should foster the true spirit of the game in the mind of the growing youth. So turn out in good numbers on the .26th and cheer for the home team.

'"-, An expert pitcher throws a, baseball 210.07 feet a second, or 2 2-5 miles a minute. It is faster than the fastest airplane, ’ From the time one pitcher began his wind-up until the batter hit the ball, only .99 second elapsed. It took .38 seeoptVtprcthiy ball to leave the pitcher’s hand and be struck by the bat.-') ')Ciifiiiy shoWed that a. catcher arecovii)edriir'.it17 second to throw the bauxite second base, and that it required only .796 second to throw from the catcher to the second base: 129 feet. Another film showed that the ball was struck by the bat before the pitcher's foot had risen to its full height: and another showed the ball in the catcher’s glove before the batter began to strike.

Kelly A FEW SWIMMING igmany drownn.g fatalities are hap- pe mg in and around the waters ”of Toronto that a few remarks on what to do and what not to do might not be amiss. The times to bathe are very important to remember. One should enter the water preferaby about an hour or so before a meal, when food taken previously will have bedome partially digested. On no ac- count enter the water after indulging in vigorous exercise. Avoid bathing . By‘Vernon C. Keachie of Toronto Swimming Club ant Lite Saving Society. in aiiiit or secluded spots as, should an accident occur and no help be near, a very obvious state of affairs may fol- low. ' Do not stand or wait at the water's edge until the warmth of the body has passed off. ‘Cleanse the mouth and nostrils before entering the water, and Breathing will then be easy, natural and unimpeded. Do not gasp or catch the breath suddenly or spasmodically, or make short inhalations, and exhalations. Breathe freely, naturally and I'egu- larly. J Persons unaccustomed to cold water bathing should not stay in too long at first. Avoid bathing altogether in the open air, if, after a short time in the water, it causes a sense of chilli- ness wth numbness of the hands and feet. People whose hands, feet or lips show purple quickly in the water should indulge in bathing very mod- . . . l erately as this invariably shows some heart weakness, _ Persons subjéct to giddiness ‘or faintness or who suffer from palpi- tation or other troubles of the heart, should not bathe without first con- sulting a, qualified physcan. To people who are troubled by any) of the sympathetic senses, namely:) the eyes, the ears, the nose and the) throat, I would say, dive sparingly, or1 better still not at all. Diving is par- ticularly hard on the ear drums. Con- cussion by shock-and pressure of the water being very harmful. Greased cotton wool or ear p1ugerare good safe- guards against this. Ooncernjng Accidents In eases/ot accidental immersion, it should be'borne in mind that the weight of elothesir-yti,11' not hurriedly drag one under water, nor cause one to sink sooner than if undressed-in fact, the air in one’s clothes will help to buoy one up at least for a time. Of course, one cannot swim fast with clothes on. _ _ It taken by cramp, by all means keep calm, turn on the‘back, rub and stretch the affected limb, if seized in the leg, turn up the toes, straighten the leg and stretch the muscles', apply friction and qcidlc the surface of the water until they relax. " 1rcalitrht inrthe Weeds; endeavor to float as near \the surfaceas possible remembering that the harder you struggle the more entangled you will become. _ _ A simple remedy if one is blown out‘ from shore while in a boat, is to) weight the bow. The lightened end) will necessarily point seawards and the boat can easily be propelled in- shore through the' heaviest weather. Drowning Cases When a person unable to swim falls into the water, he usually rises to the surface, throws up his arms, and calls for help. This, with the water swab. lowed, will make him sink and if dur- ing this struggling the arms are lift- ed out of the water above the head, he will, as a natural consequence sink quickly. The struggles may be pro- longed and then cease tor a time, al- lowing him to rise again, though per- haps not sufficiently to obtain an- other breath of air. It still conscious, he will renew his struggles more feebly, perhaps, but with the same results. As soon as insensibility oc- curs, the body sinks altogether ow- ing to the loss .of air and: the} filling of the stomach with water. LThe gen- eral. belief that a, drowning person mus? rise tr1esr:timesnxiiyfiitt he finally sinks is a. pure fallacy. Whether he rises/or notri'friends entirely upon cir- cumstances.

If the drowning person is near the probability is that the rescuer will only be in the water a short time 'and the air in one's clothes would 'theretore help one's buoyancy for a short time at least. Boots and heavy garments are the greatest hindrance, but one must use judgment as a. moment's delay may mean the loss of a human lite. In approaching a struggling person the safest plan isrto do so from the rear. The, rescuer should always hold the whip hand and do the seizing first. The old adage that Cd drown- ing man clutches at a, straw" iss all too true, and many a. time two lives have been placed in jeopardy by the rescuer not being able to extricate himself from a vietim's clutch. If a rescuer is seized he must have no hesitation or scruple to use any means to obtain reelase. When force is used, however, one must bear in mind that there is no time in a human ‘being’s existence when they are more sensitive. Every faculty and organ is brought into full play And is therefore highly sensitiz- ed. Many cases are on record where people have succumbed to a blow when in the water. After the victim has been secured, swim for the shore with a, regular, well-timed stroke. avoid jerking or tugging and keep the head above water at all times. f _ In.view ot the many fatal accidents that haye occurred in Toronto this summer it, should be considered noth- ing short of criminal negligence on the part ot the authorities that so meagre measures are taking to sate- guard life on the water in and around Toronto. A few hundred dollars spent in additional equipment would not compensate for the value of one life lost. Toronto is possesesd of a very large waterfront and many waterways and it is nothing short of criminal that conditions are as they are to-day. Policemen or life savers should be on duty at dangerous points like the foot of John street and keep those who cannot swim out of the water or else; supervise their bathing. It is nht-'sutticient for the police and wat-. efytprks employes to say that they wiphrtoovs away from the stretch of paiiéerous waters between York and John streets every day. They must be kept away or pr'otected. A ten-min- ute patrol around the bay by fast mot- or boat might help. While on patrol the boat might be summoned back to the station for orders or directed to well defined points by signals from the tower. , Mrs. Fitzgerald of Lambton Ave. is visiting in Muskoka for a few weeks. Mrs. Thompson of Hector Ave. has gone to England on a visit. _ Mr. George Savelle, of Cliff St., was taken seriously ill last week with an attack of muscalur rheumatism. Mrs. Bryant of Harding Ave. is ex-. pected lhome soon from a holiday trip to the Old Country. Mr. Kingston, \Roselands, has taken up farming in Havelock, Ont. Mr. Hingston, who has recently returned from overseas, was the Bandmaster of Roselands brass band. I We notice the water main layers have begun operations again on Ar- nold Ave., and it is expected that they will continue till all rthe streets in Mount Dennis are supplied with a. wa- ter main and hydrants. , -r" Bnidling activities are on' the in- creiwiijistive new houses beinglin the eddurse'og erection on Holliss Ave., while in other sections houses are be- ing rushed to completion, the occu- pants merely waiting till they are live- able. before moving in. Up to date one application has been made to the York Township Housing Commission but the case has not been put through. Fire broke out at the rear of 122 Lambton Ave. in a barn belonging to Mr. Bayliss. The roof and contents were completely gutted, bat the walls MOUNT DENNIS being made of concrete, stood firm, thus minimizing the danger of spread- ing. The firs started at about 5.30 a.m. Wednesday morning and was Well under way-before anybody no- ticed it. The fire hose Just recently installed by the county on the proper- ty of J. Marshall was requisitioned and put into use for the first time, but it was too late to do much good. The picnic of the Presbyterian Sunday School was. held on July 5th in High Park, and was greatly en- joyed by all. The weather was ideal, although at times it appeared as if rain might fall any moment. All the um al games and rages incident upon picnics were indulged in throughout the afternoon, and until late in the evening. There TI as abundance to eat, and this to many of the kiddies is always the great event of the day. Motor transport conveyed the pegple to and from the picrrse, and to many the ride was the great event of: the day. It was one of the largest pic- nics in the history of the church. Both baseball teams have their share of supportql‘s last Saturday, and two good games were pulled off. Canadas and the Moose were evenly matched and kept the spectators guessing from start to finish as to who would win out, but at the close Carradas were. one up with a score of 7-6. The second game between the Adanacs and Mount Dennis was not quite so exciting, there being a wider margin all the way through, and the Kodak boys finished strong, with a. score of 7-1 on their side.
