"Safety precautions in , swimming or boating may save a life and that life may be your own. Remember, always play safe in water.'? This common-sense advice is suggested by County Agent I. C. Yagel of the State College Extension Service. With the opening of the " water sports season, the National Safety Council makes some positive recom mendations based on research and study into the water safety problem. Swimming is fine exercise for those in - proper pnysical condition, out u you are not feeling well, stay out of the water, especially deep water. Also, take it easy at the beginning of the season until you are m good condition. Wait for a time following meals before entering the water and do not swim if overheated. Take sufficient time to cool off before going in the water even though the temptation may be great. It is advisable to swim only with a good swimmer or life guard. Avoid exerting beyond your strength and never dive into strange water where the depth and condition of the bottom are unknown. If pos- sible, take a few lessons in life sav ingit may prove to be a great ad vantage some day. Mr. Yagel pointed out that one does not need to be a landlubber" with a canoe, rowDoat or outDoard motor. Needless tragedies can be avoided by using good judgment. The National Safety Council recommends the fol lowing safety precautions. Never overload your boat. There may be seats for more people than the boat should carry. Know and heed weather signs and avoid staying out in storms. Always step into the center of boat never jump, and never stand up in a moving boat. Never smoke while fueling. Make sure your motor, is not too powerful for the boat- In case of capsizing, stay alongside the boat and hang on to the side, but don't try to climb in. A boat with air tanks will stay afloat indefinitely and will support several persons. Relax, be calm, signal for help and wait for it to arrive. ' GREAT EQF3 GA'S tl.
