• LEARN PRACTISE WATER SAFETY •
Imagine, if you can, 900 men, women
arid childreri, all- in one place, at .one time
or in one, long line.• It's difficult for most
of us to, picture, this number of people in
our minds. But they would make up a
fair-sized Canadian community.
Imagine now that all these people, al-
most the entire population of Lucknow,
were suddenly wiped out. What a tragedy!
Yet every year 900' fellow. Canadians'
are wiped out, most needlessly. Every year
• 900 people lose their 'lives through drown-
ing in our country s waters.
Your Canadian Red Cross hopes that

every Canadian adult and child will under-
take to learn water safety rules to reduce
• this tragic drowning toll and to make it
work)', or pay a penalty for late return, &
finally, if you have a bad account, you
lose in addition the tax you have paid on
the uncollectable account.
But, at the Provincial level, as an ap
peasement, the Governmentisgoing to pay
their enforced tax collectors. We don't
know how -much, but one commentator has.

Learn water safety rules before you even
go near the water, much less in or on it.

and teachthem to your family. And then
practise, them every second.
