“Swimming and water sports are |
beneficial to good health provld- j

W. Cox asserted, “neverthless they I
possess dangerous possibilities If the |
rules of safety are disregarded."
The following simple rules for
bathing and swimming in safety
were suggested: at least one hour
should elapse after a meal before
entering the water; never dive Into
unfamiliar waters; upon the first
Indication of fatigue, come ashore
and don’t re-enter the water: leave
the water Immediately, If chilled;
do not enter the water .when over- j

THE OLD JUDGE SAYS...
"Judge, there’* been quite a bit ol talk going
around about prohibiting liquor in various
spots around the country ... around the
Army camps for one thing. Wliat do you
make of it?”
"Well, Henry. 1 size it up about like thia.
It looks to me like the folks whir are doing
the talking are shooting a little bit higher
than moat people seem to realize. Sort of
like the salesman who gets his fo«t in the
door and before you know it he’s sold you
a bill of goods. Wouldn’t surprise me a bit
if what they're really aiming for is to take
in the whole country again. We all know it
didn’t work the last time. AH we got was
bootUt liquor instead of Utal liquor...plus
racketeers, gangsters and the worst crime
wave the country ever saw.
"Seems to me we’ve all got our hands full
to win this war without starting up an argu-
ment we just got through settling a few
years back.”
