Be careful on ice
The sparkling purity of a fresh
blanket of snow covering an icy river,
stream or lake can be deceptively
inviting.,We all become eager to try
out new sk 'ates or the latest model
snowmobile. But our haste can lead to
tragic -rhishaps. The Canadian Red
Cross Water Safety Service urges you
to think twice before you try the Ice.
Remember to check both ice
thickness and weather conditions.
Authorities usually declare local sites
safe in newspapers and by radio. A
quick 'phone call to the police is all lt
takes to be sure. If these sources of
Information are not available you can
measure the thickness by cutting a
hole In the Ice. Make sure the Ice is at
least four. inches thick for group
skating and hockey. Ice seven to eight
inches thick Is required for Ice
boating, snowmobiling • and similar
activities because of the estra weight.
Ice over large bodies of water, or
rivers with currents, or on salt water
Is likely to be unsafe. Currents can
erode and melt ice from below. Extra

played hockey on last evening Is just
as sturdy today when you skate

if you should fall in, don't panic.

Ice surface before you. Gently kick
