RED CROSS URGES BOATMEN
LEARN TO SWIM BETTER
About half the nation’s
estimated 60 million boat users
can’t swim well enough to save
their lives if they should fall
into deep water accidentally,
the American Red Cross
warned today.
In 1970, boating accidents
caused 1,305 drownings, John
A. Davis, Water Safety
Chairman of the Augusta Red
Cross Chapter, said. “Most of
these fatalities could have been
prevented if the victims had
been able to swim or if proper
safety presautions had been
taken to avert the accident.”
The Red Cross is steadily
expanding its small craft
training program in schools,
colleges, and summer camps. It
has developed a method of
instruction by which they can
be taught in cold weather, with
practice sessions on the water
following in the spring and
summer, Mr. Davis said.
He recommended that boat
operators follow these
safeguards to reduce boating
accidents:
1. Carry a Coast
Guard-approved life jacket for
everyone aboard. Insist that
weak swimmers and
non-swimmers wear them at all
times and that all others wear
them in hazardous weather
conditions.
2. Don’t overload the craft
- keep passengers down to a
safe number.
3. Don’t overpower the
boat. Ask your dealer what
horsepower motor it can take.
4. Don’t smoke while
refueling.
5. Don’t let passengers
stand up in a small boat or sit
on the gunwales while you are
under way.
6. Equip your boat with
essential gear -- an anchor, oars,
boat hook, extra line, fire
extinguisher, tool kit, and first
aid kit. Running lights are a
“must” for nighttime
operations.
7. Check weather bureau
forecasts before taking your
boat out on open water. Take a
transistor radio along to keep
posted on changing weather
conditions.
8. Most boats if swamped
or capsized will stay on the
surface, so stay with the boat
in such accidents until help
arrives. But in dangerous or
extremely cold water, try to
get to shore as fast as possible.
Mr. Davis listed these basic
rules of the waterways:
1. When the boats are
meeting in or nearly in a
h«ad-on position, each should
keep to the right.
2. When boats are in a
crossing position, the one on
the right has the right of way.
3. When one boat is
overtaking another, the boat
being overtaken has the right
of way.
4. Power boats should give
way to manually propelled or
sail boats unless the sail boat is
overtaking the power boat.
Small sail boats when sailing in
a channel should give way to
power boats which cannot
operate outside the channel.
5. Sail boats to windward
must keep out of the way of
sail boats to leeward.
“All skippers conscious of
safety make a point of
knowing the swimming abilities
of their passengers,” Mr. Davis
said. “If a person goes
overboard accidentally, rescue
procedure is based on the
ability or inability of the
person in the water to help
himself.”
“If the man overboard can
swim, a life saving device can
be thrown to him. The boat is
stopped, the victim swims to it,
and is pulled aboard.
“When a weak or
non-swimmer falls overboard,
first swing the stern away from
the side from which he fell.
Toss him a lifesaving device
and promptly maneuver the
boat bac k to him. Keep a close
watch on him at all times and
make the approach as you
would to a mooring - at

WHO
SHOT
BROWNIE
By R.L. Oliver
All of the children of the
west section of the Bth Ward
loved Brownie. They used to
watch as he rolled over and
over in the grass; they would
laugh as he horse-trotted after
a cat, and even louder when he
snubbed his food.
Now they mourn him. Last
Saturday (7/10/71) someone
fired a 22 caliber pistol right
through his side sending him
into hiding and eventually
limping home several hours
later.
When it was reported early
Saturday morning that
Brownie was missing the
neighbors scanned the area, in
vain. For 6-year old Joshulun
Denise Young, it was her only
companion besides her grand
parents. This reporter misses
Brownie too for he was also his
friend.
Who was Brownie? Just a
simple people loving faithful
Brown with white tipped legs,
3-year old mongrel dog that we
will miss. So to the
inconsiderate person who
pulled the trigger, may your
reasons for doing so make you
feel proud - Proud enough to
take Brownie’s place “Under
The Porch.”

attention, Mr. Davis said. Most
Red Cross chapters teach first
aid, swimming, and life saving
and some teach small craft
safety as well. “Call the Red
Cross chapter in your
community for details about
classes,” he concluded.

MISS MILDRED HUFF, HOME ECONOMIST
ATLANTA (PRN) -- Over 6,000 Home Economists converged
on Denver, Colorado last week for the 62nd Annual Meeting of
the American Home Economics Association. In addition to the
usual array of exhibits, meetings, and banquets the Colorado
Home Economics Association hostesses planned a vast array of
activities - historically fascinating and hysterically funny.
One tour led us high in the Rocky Mountains to Central City.
Excitement and people filled the streets, preserving much of the
town’s atmosphere from the gold rush days in the 1850’s.
However, in 1971 the gold was mined from the hands of the
tourists.
In the early days, each miner carried a leather pouch and
actually used his gold dust for money. One pinch of dust, as
measured by the bartender, bought a drink. Needless to say,
saloon owners hired their help by the size of their thumb and
first finger.
Paper money was frowned upon even into this decade.
Women’s pocketbooks were discarded not because of fashion
changes, but because the silver dollars had actually worn holes
in the fabric and the weight had loosened the handles.
In the 1850’s a man HAD to strike it rich in order to afford
to stay out West. Eggs were a dollar a piece! The shacks of those
who did not are long gone, but the Victorian mansions remain.
As we toured a mansion, to my amazement there were many
modem conveniences - even a vacuum sweeper! It was designed
just like our 1971 “electric brooms” except elbow grease
instead of electricity powered the vacuum crank.
We Georgians were pleased to note that “our own Mr.
Russell” was responsible for the gold wealth in Colorado. Gold
was first discovered in Dahlonega and Auroria, Georgia in 1829.
When those veins ran low, he took his methods and madness to
the Rockies. Thus the lust for riches opened the impassable
mountains to the West.
Those miners and often we home economists have been noted
for our determination, but it was just too much when the singer
dedicated the final song on the evening program, “I Did It My
Way.” “She must know us pretty well,” someone remarked.

please write to me: Georgia Egg Commission, 1687 Tullie Circle,
