SAFETY POINTERS SUMMER VACATION SUGGESTIONS FOR SAFE AND SANE OUTINGS GIVEN BY FIRST AID AND LIFE SAV- ING SERVICE OF RED CROSS (Special to The Citizen) ‘WASHINGTON, D.

Swimming—Know your swim- Explore thoroughly for hidden rocks, holes and glass —but not with your bare feet. Never swith alone—swimming in twos is more fun and far safer. Never dive in less than six feet of water, and make allowance for changes in tidewater depths. Al- ways wait at least two hours after eating before entering the water. Drinking Water — Take no chances. If in the least doubt as to purity, boil. -In some states, health department signs posted at springs and other sources indicate whether the water is fit or unfit for human consumption. Food—Food poisoning is of frequent occurrence in the warm months, due to the rapidity with which food spoils. Prepare small amounts at a time. Chicken, fish and potatoes are particularly likely to make one ill, if not properly refrigerated. Protect from -possible contamination. Do not eat excessively or when over- heated. © 5 . j Fire—Always bury or quench theembexai tae the aieene Poison Ivy—Learn to _ recog: nize this plant, and then care.) fully avoid it. - Ivy, oak and sumac poisoning are caused by an ritating oil present onthe leaves.
