Know The
Weather
By E. H. SIMS
What is the greatest danger
from lightning to swimmers?
Since lightning does strike
water, contrary to some peo
ple's belief, swimming is dang
erous when lightning ia observ
ed, especially if it is seen to
the west. But swimmers killed
by lightning are usually not
burned, they are paralyzed.
So, artificial .respiration is as
important for lightning-struck
swimmers as it is for drowning
victims.
Lightning strikes boats and
automobiles, but all-metal cars
(apart from convertibles) are
safe havens. Boats near land are
safer than boats far out to sea.
Boats or ships with tall masts
are most likely to be struck.
Swimming or bathing is nev
er permissible during lightning
storms.
European economic agency
praises Sweden.
Boone Native Gardens and oth
er related events have had na
tional and international cover
age. Newspapers in London
covered Horn in the Wast and
the Wagon Train. They have
requested additional stories
and pictures to be released in

ed Press, ss well as Bristol.
Johnson City, Charlotte, Win
ton-Salem, Asheville, Greens
boro, Durham and Baleigh tele
vision stations, and a multitude
of newspaper and free lance
writers and photographers cov
