Don't smoke while refueling. .Check- and heed weather reports before starting out.... Wear life jackets in choppy water and at night. If your boat upsets, hang on until help reaches you unless you are drifting into danger or the water is extremely cold. The tragedy of accidental death is absolute.

I visit it quite often, especially in the summer. It's called Wit's End. And that's where I'm at. Just recovering from a three-day wedding, The cere- mony took only about 15 min- utes: But there were the preli- minaries. They were bad enough: the terrifying ordeal of buying my first new suit in eight years; getting lost on the way to the church, in a strange city. However, it's not the preli- minaries of a wedding that make you arrive at Wit's End. It's the post-liminaries. One of .them is kneeling on a stool beside me, watching as peek away with those two worn-down old fingerS, He's six years old, precocious as they come, and somebody else's grandson. He's not watching because I'm a dazzling typist, He's watching to make sure that I get this done, so that I can fulfill my obligations to him. In a burst of post-wedding euphoria, I promised Mark I'd take him to the park, to the beach, to the Indian village, to the old fort and a few other local hotspots. Like all kids, he has the memory of an elephant and the persistence of a penguin, wha 4 ever that means, He arrived about his usual bedtime, so I thought I could stall him until tomorrow and then maybe get him to Watch television, No dice. He demanded to see the park, at the very least, So I took him off to see the park,. driving his Grammy's ble. Yes, grandmothers drive convertibles these days. Just as we arrived at the park, a hell of a thunderstorm bust loose; lightning; great cracRS of terror; and rain like Noah's arc. Mark was a little scared, in a delighted sort of way. I was frichtened to death, r couldn't find the windshield Wipers and was fivitig Mark said, "Hey, Bill, we better scram outa here." couldn't have agreed More. I kont tWitting knobs' tntilnisir ing buttons, trying to get the wipers working, I pushed what seemed to be the last button. Nothing hap- pened. Mark said, "Boy, you're lucky that's locked. That's the one that puts the top down." I nearly fainted. The back seat was loaded with Grammy's clothes, wedding gifts and as- sorted perishables. Well, we got home safely, as you have surmised, and it's now tomorrow. And it's pour- ing rain. And Mark has asked me 744 questions. Will the Indians let us into their vil- lage? Do they have rugs on the floor? Can we take away some bows and arrows? When are we going? The last one came about every fourth time. You know, I've secretly been looking forward to my grand- children for a few years, even though my own kids aren't married yet. Now, I'm begin- ning to wonder. Can I cope? They're so blase, I took Mark into the Wild Place, That's the corner of our "garden where there's a big, hairy bush of some kind. You can almost get lost in there, I forced our way ,through the jungle into the secret heart of the Wild Place, Mark said, "I don't see what's so wild about this. When are we going to the In- dian village?" Well, I'm going to fix that kid, As soon as I finish this column, we're going to the rud- dy Indian village and the blast. ed Old fort in the pouring rain. and we're going to tromp around Until never want to hear the phrase Indian lage again in his entire life. It'll probably be the end of me. But no Six,year-Old punk is going to push me around. We're going to see all the sights. We're going to climb and 'walk and stare until he's goggle-eyed. I don't care if he. gets eXhausted. I'm exhausted and We haven't even started yet. And if he starts to ery and wants to go home, probably buy him an lee creani cond.

If you have ever covered a drowning story you will know what I mean. If you have ever stood on the shore with dazed parents while a boat slowly drags for their son, you will know what I mean. it's a. tough job writing an obituary for one of the boys down the street, or seeking oufthe facts'of a young couple whose holiday ended in traaedy. There is no criterian for drowning except a careless moment. That's what 1,237 people found out too late according to last , year's Canadian Red Cross drowning statistics. Safety around boats cannot be emphasized too much. To help curb fatalities, the Red Cross has suggested a number of precautions that should be kept in mind. Know and operate your craft well. The rules of the road apply to boats as well as cars. •A drinking driver is as dangerous on water as land. Equip your boat with government approved safety equipment: life jackets for each person in the boat; two oars or paddles; a baler or water pump; red distress flares; tool kit; fire extinguisher; an anchor and 50 feet of line.
