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 HBILL ANDERSON LEADER IN OUR KIND OF TIME WE NEED LEADERSHIP IN GOVERNMENT MORE THAN EVER.

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.” ■ H And B 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.

News—Review July 15, 1971 Eggcellent Ideas GEORGIA EGG COMMISSION 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.
