PAGE EIGHT-B Red Cross Is Pushing Safer Boating Only about half the na tion's boat users can swim well enough to save their lives if they fall into deep water, John T. Goetz, area director of safety programs for the American Red Cross, Eastern Area, said today. Goetz reminded boat owners that this is Na tional Safe Boating Week, and urged both them and their passengers to take ad vantage of the free swim ming and lifesaving courses offered by most Red Cross chapters. The Red Cross is one of 16 organizations sponsoring Safe Boating Week, the objective of which is to re duce boating accidents and make the aquatic sport safer for the estimated 50 million people who partici pate in it. ill CONDITIONED TaytorTheatre epenton, n. c.

"Last year, 1,312 persons drowned or were fatally in jured in boating accidents,” Goetz said. The Red Cross is seeking to expand its small cratt training programs in col leges, schools and summer camps, he continued, and has revised its method of instruction so that theory can be taught in class rooms in cold weather, fol lowed by practice sessions in spring and summer. To reduce the number of boating accidents, he said, the Red Cross offers these safeguards that boat oper ators and passengers should observe: 1. Carry a Coast Guard approved life jacket for everyone aboard. Insist that weak swimmers and non - swimmers wear them at all times, and that oth ers wear them in hazardous weather conditions. 2. Don’t overload the craft. Keep passengers down to a safe number. 3. Don’t overpower your boat. Consult your dealer cn what horsepower motor rt can take. 4. Don't smoke while tefueling. 5. Don’t let passengers in a small boat stand up, or sit on the gunwales while you are under way. 6. Equip your boat with essential gear—anchor, oars, boat hook, extra line, fire extinguisher, tool kit and first aid kit. Running lights are a must for nighttime operation. 7. Check weather bu reau forecasts before taking boat out on open water. Take a transistor radio along to keep posted on changing weather condi tions. 8. Most boats, if swamp ed or capsized, will stay on the surface, so stay with the boat when such acci dents happen until help ar rives. But if you are in dangerous or extremely cold water, get to shore as fast as possible. Goetz listed these basic THE CHOWAN HERALD. EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, JULY 11. 1968 rules of the waterways: 1. When boats are meet ing in. or nearly in, a head on position, each should keep to the right. 2. When boats are in a crossing position, the one on the right has the right of way. 3. When one boat is overtaking another, the boat being overtaken has the right of way. 4. Powerboats shcu 1-1 give way to manually pro pelled or sailboats unless the sailboat is overtaking a powerboat. Small sail boats, when sailing in a channel, should give way to powerboats which can not operate outside the channel. 5. Sailboats on the star board tack have the right of way of sailboats on the port tack. 6. Sailboats to wind ward must keep out of the way of sailboats to lee ward. “All safety conscious skippers make a point of knowing the swimming ca pabilities of those on board,” Goetz said. “If a person goes overboard ac cidentally, rescue procedure is based on the ability or inability of the person in the water to help himself. “If the man overboard can, swim, a lifesaving de vice can be tossed to him. The boat is stopped, the victim swims to it, and is pulled aboard. “When a weak or non swimmer falls overboard, first swing the stern away from the side from which he fell. Toss him a life saving device and prompt ly maneuver the boat back to him. Keep a close watch cn him at all times and make the approach as you would to a mooring—at re duced speed and slightly to windward if possible. Shut off the motor within a few feet of the victim, and bring him aboard.” Goetz said all boatmen should know first aid, in cluding how to give artifi cial respiration, since boats often operate far from medical attention. He urg ed all boatmen in this area to contact the local Red Cross Chapter to find out what safety courses are available.

WEST 35ih Anniversary of AAA Farmers and consumers all over North Carolina were present at a ceremony in Raleigh on June 21 to commemorate the 35th an niversary of the passage of the 1933 Agricultural Ad justment Act. Many of those present could remember very viv idly the conditions that ex isted in North Carolina in 1933. The farmers could remember that farm com modities were so cheap they could not pay their lertilizer bills and the ever pressing mortgages that made foreclosures a daily occurrence all over the state. Consumers could remember that jobs were few and far between and wages were low. Businesses were going bankrupt daily and banks were closing. On May 12, 1933, the Ag ricultural Adjustment Act was passed. This legisla tion, along with many oth er bills passed in 1933, set the stage so that the econ omy was put back on a sound basis. The Agricul tural Adjustment Act was one of the most important bills passed by the 73rd Congress. The commemoration ser vice in Raleigh on June 21 was a real fine event. The persons who were so in strumental in the passage and early administration of the program were given special recognition. Each of the speakers did a fine job of relating the import ance of farm legislation and also of looking to our fu ture needs. Arrangements for the program were made by a committee representing a cross-section of agencies, organizations and business interests. They did a very fine job of arranging and carrying out a most inter est in g and informative program. Any old excuse will suf fice for not working but the best is the possession of plenty of cash.
