Al } 40 DROWNINGS IN U. 5. EVERY DAY Red Cross Figures Show Alarm- ing Numbers Washington, Aug. 8—An average ©f 40 persons drown each day in the number runs between 6000 and 8000. These iigures come from the life eaving service of the American Red | Cross, which is attempting to reduce | them. | H. F. Enlows, director of first aid | and life saving for the Red Cross, | says that a careful study indicates that 80 per cent of drowning facili- .tles are preventable. In his organization's continuous 168,000 swimmers have already been taught life saving and the campaign has been especially intensified this year. The number of persons taking to the water for necreation or relief from the heat has steadily increased. Fourteen training schools were es- tablished in as many sections of the country during June and nearly a thousand swimmers put in a ten-day intensive course in life saving and water safety 9 "~ Teach Life Saving More than 300 of the most pro-| ficient students were appointed Red Cross life saving examiners and are authorized to teach swimmers and enroll those passing the require- ments in the American Red Cross | life saving corps. Upwards of 500 examiners and a #pecial corps of 24 traveling instruc- tors are now teaching life saving methods in every state and at the end of the year somewhere near 32.- 000 more swimmers will have re- _ceived this instruction. Special demonstrations are being given at hundreds of resorts and swimming places during the summer and when the season is over will be continued in indoor pools. Nearly all the large colleges and universities with swimming facilities will be vis- fted by one of the trateling experts this winter, who will appoint exam- iners to carry on the work through the year. Enlows lays stress on the import- ance of preventive work. “Many drowning accidents oceur within & comparatively short dis- tance of safety,” he says. “Few of them happen in midstream or far | out from shore. “This fact calls for more educa- tion—with emphasis on instruction | in swimming. Many experienced swimmers get into the water, swim around a bit and then want to let down. They find they can't touch bottom and then go into a panic. Beginner's Test “We now recommend, in a hegin- ner's test, while life guards are standing by those who have just learned to swim jump into the water where it's over there heads and then swim to safety. Or that they swim 25 or 50 fect out and then back. Thus they learn how to do it and they later arc upset in a boat or| canoe—many are upset while fish- | ing—or fall of a dock, they will be | able to keep their heads and save | themselves. | “We're going to put phasis on eraly spring There is always an early crop of | drownings which is preventable. In-| dividuals should train gradually at| the beginning of their swimming season instead of undertaking to be- gin where they left off in the fall. Often they swim too far out on their | first time in, overtax themselves and | become exhausted. Then they’re like- ly to be lost. “We are encouraging cach com-| munity to provide a swimming place | where its people can swim under su- pervision at certain hours. That means, of course, with a life guard at hand. “There is too much haphazard swimming and too much swimming | alone, especially by children without | adults. | “We recommend that a majority | of people in canoes be able to swim. That is, if there are three persons in a canoe two should be good swim- mers. Or if there are two, one should be able to swim well enough to take care of his companion. Most people don’t know how to handle canoes and the renters of ca noes have no responsibility to see | that they do.” more em- | swimming. | | | Of Businessmen Here Canon William Sheafe Chase of New York city is being entertained today as the guest of Mr. and Mrs. R.

POST OFFICE IN 1262 Stockholm, Aug. 8 (UP)—A regu- lar post office was established in according to the researches just pub- lished by the noted Swedish his- | torfan, Dr. L. M. Baath. Dr. Raath, who has carried out | extensive research work in the li- brary of the Vatican concerning the medieval history of Sweden and its connections with the Pope and the Vatican, discovéred a papal bull, dated 1262, giving the papal bless- ing to a mew post office in Stock- hold organized by the great Swed- ish statesman, Earl Birger. 1t also appears from the bull that Roge, Kaneas.—“T was o weak and nervous and had such a tired, worn- out feeling that 1 had to go to bed.

Mr. Downes Lauded . Hall agreed, saying one of board’s greatest accomplish- ments was that of engaging John E. Downes as building supervisor. He employ of the school department five years ago $30,000 could have been saved annually. At this time Mr. Hall also de- clared that the predicted increase in population for New Britain in the | next five years would not be as great as in the past five years. He gave several reasons. With this in mind | he felt that the school population would not increase as rapidly as the school authorities had predicted. It ! was his opinion that the addition to | the school would take care of 2,000 | pupils and this limit would be | reached in 1935, eight years from | now. Mr. Hall, however, felt that, the 2,000 limit could not be reached for 12 years, At the close of the meeting, Mr. | Quigley urged upon the members the necessity of discussing the ques- | tion without regard to ward or se- tional feeling and to try to find the | hest way out without using a selfish method. | “There are two questions to be | ! discussed.
