Safety Hints For Surf Bathers How safe is surf bathing fnT i family groups? Quite a question ! that, becou-e surf-washed beaches vary so Tien anain surfing is safe ’ today ar.d canRerous tomorrow i and lor all week It is safe from | vast after high tide tin Jut»t before t Irish tide on some beaches and always dangerous or. other reach es. When surf bathing know your surf conditions. Bathe only on guarded beaches where there is a life boat reasonably near and where there are torpedo or can buoys which a swimmer can bring out if you find yourself caught in a strong t de or a baffling current that keeps you from coming In on a breaker and landing on the beach. Foresight is better than hindsight In preventing surf acci dents. If the bathing beach proprietor has provided a trained life saver, consult him about beach condi tions. If he says s bad surf ts de veloping or an undertow is Tur ning, don't go out beyond the waves which come up around your knees Above all don’t fall down in the hack-rushing water. To come in nn a breaker, start swimming ahead of it and ride as far as you can on it. and when its momentum har passed don’t kill yourself fight ing the backwash; jui-t rest ease until the next breaker coin os and ro work your way m on Uie bil lows. ■Whore a to; f lier-rh ir flat ill Of1 ui i>e w».y at i.nv tide nnd has a rather shirp r'se in the sand dol ing the last two hours of tha in coming vide, undertow or back wash may he looked for because the surf piles up higher on the wind than the water level outside the breakers, and water must find its level. A pool or puddle In the sar.d at luw tide indicates whc'if1 a crons lice, or offset may develop when the tide no am flood .-.(age running counlerwiit to the break ers and along the line of the i.n->] or puddle- in which the children had such a good time a few hours before.
