[—SECTION TW© ij To help owners make their r pond safe, the Rural Safety Council offers these suggestions: (1) Make certain that recrea tion is supervised at all times by an adult; (2) Post safety instruction for boating, swimming and skiing; (3) Mark safe swimming areas; (4) Place lifesaving devices such as ring buoys, ropes and long poles around swimming areas; (5) Know' acceptable methods of artificial respiration; (6) Place a fence that can’t be climbed around the pond so chil dren can’t play there without adult supervision; and (7) Clear all trees, stumps, I brush, wire and rubbish from swimming and boating areas. For users of the pond, the Council says never swim alone, fish alone, boat alone, ski alone or play around the pond alone. “Remember,” the Council warned, “a boat is not a toy to Ibe experimented with and play ed with by children." s Building from 6 to 8 o’clock. | Tickets are on sale at 75 cents i for children and $1.25 for adults. < Men of the community have the , reputation for making good bar l becue chicken, so that a good meal is assured.
