About Drowning Fatalities
(By T. H. Johnston, M. D., Health
Commissioner)
Drowning: fatalities nro being re
ported these days. In fact it is but
a few dayH, since I was asked to as
aist with resuscitation measures that
were unavailing. The following radio
broadcast by the New York State
Department of Health, seems ap
propriate at this timg:
“We are now at the beginning of
the swimming season. What boy
does not look forward to the time
for the first plunge in the Old Swim
mining Hole. Whut purent does not
dread this same season. Almost ev
ery paper now carries the story of
some child or grown-up who has met
a watery grave. Asa matter of fact
very few drownings arc entirely ac
cidental. Many times a person on
a dare, or as a stunt, tries to swim
beyond hi-- strength, or perhaps does
not realize that the water is cold, or
that the current is swift; or as too
often happens, uses a treacherous,
tippy or leaky boat. Then there are
those unaccustomed to small craft
who by standing up or by changing
seats, capsize a boat that ordinarily
would be reasonably safe.
“Many people do not know enough
about water to be mindful of its
danger. You seldom bear of a per
son losing his life in the water who
has previously had a narrow escape,
or who has witnessed a drowning.
Remember that not many who re
main under water for a short time,
even a few minutes, survive.
“Every person should learn to
swim, and the younger the better.
It js good healthful sport, affording
the best of muscular exercise and
recreation. The exposure of a large
areu of the skin to the sun gives a
new lease on life for the short and
sometimes sunless days of winter.
Get a good dark tan, if you can, hut
get it slowly, avoiding sunburn.
“When learning to swim, keep in
shallow water; be sure that there
are no hidden holes or dropoflfs.
Never venture beyond your depth
until you can swim well. Do not
be foolhardy yourself, nor sanction
it in others.
“Never swim in water that is not
fit to drink; if one ducks the head
some water is almost certain to enter
the mouth and may be swallowed.
Dirty water frequently irritates, and
may cause inflnmation of the middle
ear and nasal sinuses. Beware of
submerging the head at all if you
have a chronic ear or nose ailment.
Diving is a worthwhile accomplish
ment, and a pretty dive is striven for
by almost every good swimmer. But
look before you leap; other wise you
may strike a submerged rock or log.
“If you are near a person who is
struggling in the water, beware;
there may be two funerals instead
of one unless you know how to break
his grip. Provided you are a strong
swimmer, you should be able to as
sist; if not, try to reach the drown
ing person with a rope, board or
pole; he will grab at anything.
“Everyone should know how to
attempt resuscitation of a person
who has been taken out of the water,
perhaps apparently dead. Time is
precious. Send for q, doctor, but
don’t wait for him; also don’t wait
for a mu 1 motor, or other apparatus.
Don’t try to move the body unless
artificial respiration can be con
tinued constantly while the transfer
is taking place; this is vital. Don't
even wait to loosen the clothing;
don’t lose one minute, for delays are
serious. Empty out the water by
raising the feet and hips, bee that
there is nothing lodged in the throat,
such as false teeth, or a quid of to
bacco.
‘‘The prone method of applying
artificial respiration is the easiest
and best, and is carried out as fol
lows: Lay the patient on his stom
ach, with one of his hands extended
overhead, the other bent at the el
bow, and the face on the forearm
so that the nose and mouth are free
for breathing. Get on your knees,
one knee on either side of the pa
tient's hip bones. Place the hands
on his hack, with the little fingers
just touching the lower rib, and the
base of the hands far enough toward
the center of the luy.-k so that the
ends of the fingers are just out of
sight. Keep your arms straight, and
swing forward, letting your weight
bear on the chest; not so hard, of
course, as to damage the internal or
gans. Immediately swing back, and
in two or three seconds repeat, so
that the chest is compressed and re
laxed from twelve to fifteen times a
minute. On the downward swing
the air is forced from the lungs, and
when released on the upward return
the elasticity of the chest will fill the
lungs with air. A good way to time
these motions is to swing forward
each time you yourself exhale, and
back when you inhale. This is call
ed the prone method of resuscitation,
and will save life if there is any life
left. In the meantime some other
persons can loosen the clothing
around the neck, and waist, and ap
ply heat to the body. Don’t stop
until a doctor tells you, or until na
tural breathing has started or until
at least an hour has elapsed. Many
lives have been saved both from
drowning and from electric shock
by this method.
“It is far bettor that parents
teach their children to swim, rath
er than admonish them to keep away
from the water. Teach them to re
spect the dangers of water as well as
to swim and to row. The out-of
door exercise will make them strong
er and healthier, and less subject to
disease.”

NEGRO IN JAIL FOR KILLING
NEIGHBOR’S COW
Thou shalt not covet thy neigh
bor’s milch cow!
For such covetousness, one Lind
sey Hightower, colored, is resting
behind the bars in the Walton coun
ty jail, where he awaits serious con
sequences for going out last Satur
day and killing the cow of his neigh
bor, Jake Battle, and taking from
the carcass one hind quarter and
the liver.
The cow was found slain late Sat
urday by Battle and his family af
ter the animal had failed to show
up at milking time. He apprised
Chief of Police Charley Daniel of
the slaughter and a search was made
of Hightower’s home where the fin
ger of suspicion pointed. Mr. Dan
iel found nothing to warrant the sus
picion; but when Sheriff Riley went
to the home later he smelled a tell
tale aroma and found a pot of fresh
beef cooking.
The sheriff was told that High
tower was not at home and that he
was fishing on Mountain creek. Mr.
Riley went to the creek, found High
tower and arrested him.
It is said that Hightower has con
fessed to the crime.—Walton Tri

Cold of Conquistadores
OMETIMES nature laughs
Ml at those who seek metals in
the ground to make them
rich, and ignore the bounty
of the earth which, with a
little care, is constantly renewing
itself, to produce wealth for patient
cultivators of the soil, and foods for
millions.
So it was with those sons of
Spain who came to the new world
for gold, and who, when they failed
to find it, went home in disgust
neglecting the unrivalled opportun
ities for riches through colonization.
The Conquistadores wanted to get
rich quick, and, when they didn’t,
many of them pulled up baby pine
apple slips because they had grown
to love the luscious tropical fruit
which they could not get in their
own country, and went home to try
and grow that fruit under glass, as
it does not grow easily in a tem
perate climate.
Had they remained there and
seized this priceless opportunity,
today’s thriving pineapple industry
might have been theirs. For a ripe
pineapple is a luscious fruit, and
today’s Hawaiian pineapple industry
puts that ripe pineapple into a can,
so that it will reach its millions
of devotees with all of its natural
fruit sugar, its vitamins, its flavor
and its unusual appetite producing
taste.
The Taste’s The Thing
Have you ever noticed that
“more” taste about pineapple?

eating it? Pineapple is a powerful
aid to digestion and helps one to
take care of rich protein foods.
That’s because pineapple contains
bromelin. This fact makes this
golden fruit an excellent accompani
ment to meats. It’s the bromelin
in the pineapple served with meats
which aids in the digestion of them,
besides adding a tang and a taste
to them that everyone likes.
And now one may have all the
pineapple one wants. Increased pro
duction in the Hawaiian Islands has
not only made available a great deal
more pineapple than in previous
years, but the price of this tropical
fruit has been lowered so that the
housewife may use it as lavishly as
she pleases, with meats, to make
cakes, griddle cakes, waffles, decora
tive gelatin salads and desserts,
frozen and otherwise, or she may
serve the golden wheel of pineapple
swimming in a delicious syrup,
nicely chilled, for an extra “ritzy”
dessert in every sense but price.
Here are some interesting ways
of serving pineapple with meat, and
some frozen desserts.
Pineapple With Meat
Pineapple Meat Cakes: Add one
slightly beaten egg to one pound of
chopped round steak, and mix well.
Add one and one-fourth teaspoons
salt, one-eighth teaspoon pepper,
one cup crushed pineapple and one
half cup crumbs. Form into round,
flat cakes and pan broil in a hot
skillet. Makes eighteen medium
cakes.
Large Newspaper Collection
What is said to be the largest col
lection of newspapers in the world
has been opened to the public in a
newspaper museum at Aix-la-Chapelle.
Germany. Among its collection of
150,000 newspapers are curiosities
from all over the world, including an
Eskimo paper from the middle of last
century.
Hebrew Money
The monetary system of the He
brews was based upon the Babylonian
system of weights. The ratio of the
value of gold to silver was 1 rl3 1"
and prevailed over all western .'s'u
Southern Fried Chicken with Pine>
apple IVheels: Drain syrup from
a No. 2 l / 2 can sliced Hawaiian pine
apple. Add a two-inch stick of cin
namon. Boil three minutes, then
add pineapple slices and set aside
until cool. Drain and chill. Fry
enough chicken for eight in the
usual Southern fashion and pile in
the center of a large silver platter.
Around the chicken arrange a bor
der of eight lettuce leaves, using
deep cup-shaped leaves. Place a
pineapple wheel in each and make a
rosette of mayonnaise in the center
of each. Serves eight, and provides
both the meat course and the salad.
Pineapple Desserts
Pineapple and Banana Ice Cream :
Scald together three cups evaporated
milk, six cups thin cream, two and
two-thirds cups sugar, and cool.
Add one No. 2 can crushed Ha
waiian pineapple and one cup mashed
banana pulp, and freeze. Serves
twenty-four.
Pineapple Cherry Bavarian: Soak
two tablespoons gelatin in one-half
cup cold water. Heat to boiling
the juice from one 8-ounce bottle
green mint cherries, one and one
half cups crushed pineapple, one
third cup sugar, one tablespoon
lemon juice and pour over gelatin,
stirring until dissolved. Color a light
green and cool. When starting to
set, add cherries cut in pieces and
one cup whipped cream and pour
into individual molds to harden.
Unmold and garnish with whipped
cream and bits of angelica. Serves
eight.*
