Cold Water Dunking Can Be Costly
> ALEXANDRIA, Va. The
weather may be warming,
but, warns the American Red
Xross, early season boaters
'and fishermen should re
member the waters of rivers,
lakes and streams are still
cold and dangerous if some
one falls in.
“Many drowning deaths in
April and May may be at
tributed to prolonged immer
sion in cold water and the
inability of the victim to get
out of the water quickly,”
said Cliff E. Lundberg, East
ern Area director of Red
Crogs safety programs. “Even
expirt swimmers can drown
if giey lose the ability to
swifti as the result of the
cold water.”
Lindberg stressed that
fishermen should wear two
or three suits of thermal un
derwear and other suitable
clothing if there is a chance
of bold water accident. He

In our society today, the same as since time began—
-we are all mutually accountable to others.
£ We can scarcely do anything that doesn’t involve
jjtthers. Our friends/ our families—or someone is usu
ally affected by our actions.
~ The ancient story of the men at sea in a boat, and
jpne of them began to bore a hole in the bottom of the
•vessel. On being remonstrated with, he answered: “I
only boring under my own seat.” “Yes,” said his
jjfellow passengers, “but when the sea rushes in we
£hall all be drowned with you.” So it is! Few of our
.Actions fail to involve others.
i We help as well as we hinder. The good in the
nvorld is most always brought about through the ac
-tions of people. Someone said: “We do good to an
other mostly in minute particles.” Then it is the little
Ihings that count.
| OUR THOUGHT TO REMEMBER: “Every day we
tnake our offerings—one way or the other.”

are good in this situation.
Those working or playing
around water should know
the basic water survival
skills, he added. In most in
stances of swamping or cap
sizing, a person should hang
on to the boat, but in cold
water staying with the boat
can be fatal if rescue is de
layed. If a person falls into
cold water he should not try
to remove his clothing. In
this case, clothing actually
helps to retain warmth and
provide buoyancy. Lundberg
stressed that the most im
portant thing a victim should
do is get out of the water by
swimming to the nearest
point of safety, whether it is
a boat or shore, using an
armstroke that has an under
water recovery. Swim with,
or at right angles to the cur
rent for the nearest landing.
"Fatal cooling occurs more
readily in water than in air,
because wetting rapidly de

city of clothing. Loss of
body heat in cold water oc
curs at two to four times the
rate in air at the same tem
perature,” noted Lundberg.
If possible, a victim taken
from cold water should be
warmed in water 106-110 de
grees or wrapped in warm
blankets. Do not place the
victim close to a hot stove, a
radiator or a heat lamp.
Extra clothing may be added
to warm a person, but keep
him in a cool room. Hot
fluids may be given as tol
erated and medical help
should be secured as soon as
possible, the safety director
concluded.

Plants A Tree
By Maru Am burn
The Eden Pineneedles had
an Arbor Day ceremony at
the Barker House on Arbor
Day, March 18.
First was the reading of
Genesis 2:8, then we sang
“America the Beautiful.”
Rev. E. L. Earnhardt said a
prayer, then Melissa Am
bum read a poem. Alison
Jordan gave some facts of
Arbor Day. After our cere
mony we planted a crabapple
tree. A1 Phillips said a few
meaningful words about Ar
bor Day.
The tree was bought by the
Garden of Eden Garden

their honor and it bears their
flower.

How can I send a message
To those who do not pray?
You’ll find your heart much lighter
If one prayer you’ll say today.
Help is yours for the asking,
You’ll find this message true;
Prayer brings faith and hope for all,
Just a little prayer from you.
The above is a tried and
true recipe—so why not try
it yourself?
Isn’t this weather becoming
more spring-like every day?
As I walk in the yard each
day, I see something new
either in bloom or budding.
It’s a thrill to find it, which
reminds me that Mrs. George
Smith has returned to her
home at Hayes after being
away several weeks visiting
friends and relatives in Ro
anoke and Florida. She
tells me she thinks its actu
ally warmer and prettier here
in Edenton than any place
'he visited. I’ll surely say
amen to that,
Nita and Dick Tarkington
galavanted this weekend like
two teenagers. They took off
Saturday night and went to
visit relatives in Baltimore
for the weekend. They met,
up with some onery weather,
too, but took it in their
stride. Such a nice couple,
Nita and Dick!
My telephone is such a
comfort to me—brings me so
many nice visits and conver
sation with friends. I was
glad to hear Mary Surratt's •
voice today and to know that
she’s home and improving j
each day. Mrs. Ida Mae 1
Roberson Just called, too, and '
says she’s on the up-grade. •
We women have a lot of for
titude.
I had an enjoyable visit
from my close friends from
Shiloh and Elizabeth City
Tuesday, Mrs. C. T. Moore
and Mrs. Sarah Allen. It’s
so nice to get together, to
rehash good times in the past
and to catch up on all the J
family news. I Just love
visitors.
Here’s a recipe given to
me this week by Julia Lup
ton. Sounds delicious!
Frozen Pineapple Salad
2 pkgs. (3 oz. each) cream
cheese.
% cup mayonnaise.
y< cup sugar.
y« cup finely cut crystal
lized ginger.
1 cup miniature marshmal
lows.
% cup chopped pecans or
walnuts.
1 can (8 oz.) crushed pine
apple, drained.
2/3 cup evaporated milk.
2 teaspoons lemon juice.
Let cream cheese soften at
room temperature. In a me
dium size mixing bowl blend
mayonnaise, sugar and ginger
with softened cream cheese.
Stir in marshmallows, nuts
and drained crushed pine
apple. Pour evaporated milk
into an ice cube tray and
chill until it is partially
frozen. Empty icy evaporat
ed milk into a small bowl of
.electric mixer and beat until
stiff. Add lemon juice and
beat very stiff. Fold in
cream cheese mixture lightly
but. thoroughly. Line a small
loaf pan with plastic wrap.
Turn salad mixture into pan.
Cover tightly with plastic
wrap, freeze over night.
When ready to serve, turn
out on serving platter, re
move plastic wrap and gar
nish with maraschino cherries
If desired. Makes eight serv
ings.
A Few Hints
Keep a pair of long socks
in your car’s glove compart
ment to slip over your hands,
cuffs and sleeves if and
when you have to change a
tire.
A little baking soda and
water on a cloth will remove
coffee stain from plastic cups.
For indigestion, try a spot
of oil of peppermint on a
tea bag in boiling water.
