Drowning Victims Often People
Not Intending To Get Wet
Over 60 percent of the
drownings each year result when
people who have no intention of
getting wet fall into the water
from docks, boats, bridges,
shores or pool decks. Frequently
they are only a few feet from
safety, the American Red Cross
reports.
A majority of the remaining 40
percent drown while swimming
or playing in the water, again
many of them almost within
reaching distance of safety.
'Most drownings result
because people violate or ignore
good water safety practices,"
states Cliff E. Lundberg,
Eastern Area director of Red
Cross Safety Programs.
"Drownings can' be reduced if
people will learn to swim and
develop skill and knowledge that
will contribute to safety in, on
and around the water. Red Cross
hopes through its swimming and
lifesaving courses, to create in
every individual an awareness of
accident causes and ways in
which accidents can be
prevented."
Statistics : reveal that
drownings around the homes in
pools, bathtubs, wells, cisterns
and cesspools claim over 700
lives each year.
Three chief causes of home
pool drownings are temporary
lack of qualified adult super
vision; absence of, or inadequate
safeguards such as fences and
rescue equipment; and the
inability of victims to float or
swim.
The home pool drowning rate
is highest among children under
four, the safety director said.
$4,643.18 Sales Tax
Collected For April
Local 1 Sales and Use Tax
collection in Perquimans County
for the' month of April, -' as
reported by the State Depart
ment of Revenue, amounted to
$4,643.18.

Therefore, home pool owners
should take regular precautions
around the pool site and make
the area "kidproof."
Lundberg stressed that one
way to make sure children can't
accidentally fall into the pool is
to erect a fence of sufficient
height around the facility,
keeping the gate locked at times
when there is no supervision
available for swimmers.
The shallow and deep ends of
the pool should be clearly
marked with buoy lines
Breakable items such as glasses
and bottles should not be allowed
around the pool area. And pool
rules should prohibit running or
"horseplay" near the pool edge.
"No matter how many safety
measures are taken," said
Lundberg, "the best way to help
insure that accidents don't claim
lives is : through training
Someone in the family should
know how . to give artificial
respiration. Youngsters should
be taught to float and swim at an
early age, and. simultaneously
they should be made to un
derstand their limitations."
Since the majority of
drownings occur within a few
feet of safety, it is often possible
for a nonswimmer or an un
trained swimmer to perform a
nonswimming rescue safely, the
Red Cross official said.
The rescuer should limit
personal contact with the victim
and always maintain firm
contact with the shore. The
rescuer's weight on the shore or
pool deck should be kept low or
slanting backward. If the victim
is within arm's reach, the
rescuer should lie flat on the
deck and extend one arm,
holding the deck or dock with the
other arm. He can then grasp the
victim's wrist or arm and draw
him to safety.
Should the victim be beyond
arm's reach, the rescuer can
extend such items as a shirt,
towel, coat, branch or pole, and
allow the victim to grasp one end
and then pull him to safety.

ftkhey and Frisky Completed
Their Vfsftin Perquimans Go.
Riskey and Fr iskey completed
their visit in Perquimans County!
this week. They provtxl a real-life.
lesson in food and hualth. They
showed how two foods can work
together to promote a rowth and
health. Riskey and Fi 'iskey are
white rats which were ' involved
in a a Rat Feeding Ex periment
in the county schools. Ri iskey was
on bread and soft drink, and
Friskey was on bread i and milk
diet. After six weeks it was
crystal clear that Fris key, the
milk drinker was bigger, good
nature, a prettier and a cleaner
coat, bright pink eyes, good
muscle control, tidy habits, and
firm nails. Riskey the soft drink
drinker showed signs of a poorly
nourished rat. Risk ey had a
shaggy, dull, thin dirty looking
coat, rough, dry, seal iy ears, feet
tail, eyes not cliear, dirty
whiskers, restless, irritaible and
cross; breathing difficulty and
soft naus.
When Friskey and Riskey
visited the county, they were
located in Perquimans Union
School and Kinjj Street
Elementary School under the
supervision of Miss D M. Jen
nines and Mrs. H. O. Bea man.
After six weeks Riskey and
Friskey went on a Coui lty to ur of
Extension Homemakers clubs,
Rural Community Dev Jlopnient
4-H Clubs, Special Inte rest
Meeting of the Donated food
Participants, Central Gram marl
School for one week, Hertl ord
Grammar School, and
Perquimans High School. After
the tour Riskey and Friskey
returned to Perquimans County
Science Department, under the
supervision of Mr. J. Sidney
Eley, Perquimans Count ? Hig h
School, under the superv: ision of
Mrs. Edit Driver, with a i special
project of Miss Wonda
Roquemore. The diets of thes e
rats were switched. The1 rats
remained in these department!)
for S weeks. One set of the t rats
was dissected and the bom !
structure compared. Fri skey
bones were large and ifirm.
Riskey bones were small and
soft. Riskey bones bended ea sily.
Before the diets were switch
Friskey weighted 340 grams and
Riskey weighed 165 grams.
Friskey was placed on soft di 'ink
diet and Riskey was placed on
the milk diet. Therefore at the
end of S weeks Friskey weig hed
305 grams and Friskey weig) led
409 grams.
Friskey coat was shaggy, di ill,
and thin fur, rough dirty ta il;
dry scaly ears, feet, and ta il,
restless, irritable, and cross. Tl ie
nails begin to curve. Riskey cot at
thickened up, clean, smooth ar id
glossy! Smooth tail,' pink eye: t,

easily handled, and gooi d

Science Instructor and Ernest Parker, a student at I'et qui mans
County Union School. Mr. Eley said, "This is a Real - Life Les

in food and its contribution to health. It promott d a-a-itttork
and a cooperative spirit among the students thus in.ii-,, t he
project more important in the eyes of children We M i i: d
from this experiment."
pointed out that a selection of a
wide variety of foods like the
"Basic" 7 is necessary for
health. This kind, as well as the
amount of food a person eats,
affects the structure and the
function of the body. This ex
periment was a positive, basic
step in guiding children to un
derstand the importance of food
and its relation to health.
Mrs. H. O. Beaman said, "Just
talking about the importance of
drinking milk is not always
convicing, but when the pupils
saw the difference in the growth
rate, general appearance, and
behavior of the two rats, there
were definite changes in their
attitude toward milk.''
Miss D. M. Jennings said,
"Riskey and Friskey helped the
bosy and girls realized the need
for a well chosen diet. It showed
a dramatic difference in ap
pearance and behavior as well as
in growth rate. It seem to be a
little difficult for some students
to understand the real im
portance of food, but our ex
periment with Riskey and
Friskey was one way of showing
that foods work together to
promote healthy growth.
J. A. Dempsey said, "The Rat
1 deeding Experiment is a lesson
f rom life. This is one way to show
c hildren and adults alike that
li ving, tangible evidence of the
w ay foods work together to
pi -omote growth and good health
Tt ley see that a single food can
no t do the job alone. They gain an
urn derstanding of the need for a
seL ected variety of foods. The
mil k consumption in the school
inci "eased."
Tl lomas Maston said, "As
