Emergency treatment
Every so often, you'll hear
-about someone literally
.choking to death on'a piece
of meat, while others stand
by helplessly, assuming the
victim has had a stroke or
heart attack.
The first sign of choking
is the inability to speak or
make a sound, accompa-
nied by a clutching of the
throat or chest. Shortly
thereafter, the victim will
start to turn blue and lose
consciousness.
One method of helping a
choking victim is to stand
behind him, holding him
with both arms around the
waist, at the belt line or just
above. Grasping your own
wrist firmly, squeeze hard,
allowing victim to slump
forward,head and arms dan-
gling. Pressure, below the
diaphragm compresses resi-
dual air trapped in the lungs,
and food should pop out, ac-
cording to experts.
If victim is face down,
straddle the buttocks, then
place both hands, one on top
of the other, just below dia-
phram and push sharply
towards victim's head. Re-
peat if necessary, taking
care to have someone ready
to scoop up ejected food,
else it might be inhaled
again. '
If victim is face up, strad,
dle the thighs and proceed as
above.

Fishing in boots
ifs quieter
By HOMER CIRCLE
Angling Editor,
Sports Afield
Not everyone can afford
to blow several thousand
clams on a boat, motor
and a flock of electronic
gadgets just to outsmart a
passel o' fish. Not everyone
needs to, especially If
you're a wader.
Fishing afoot, in a com-
fortable pair of waders or
kippers, has a number of
advantages over fishing
from -a boat, as a matter
of fact.
Like: You can enjoy the
vigor of early morning
fishing forays along
streams too small for
boats.
Also, because of a low
Profile, you can approach
bigger fish afoot by using
stealth and watching for
movements of feeding
whoppers; It's mighty dif-
ficult to approach an old
mossback in a boat and
not give out some kind of
telltale vibrations.
And it's versatile! While
wading, I fly-rod for blue-
gills and trout; bait cast
for bass, walleyes, pike;
crappies, white bass and
catfish; also spin fish for
inshore saltwater species
as well as lake trout, sal-
mon and muskies in some
of the faraway places I go
for my articles.
You can learn to com-
pact your tackle for easy
toting. Telescoping rods
now have excellent actions
and can be carried easily
through brush. Lures can
be put in' plastic boxes and
carried in a rucksack. Dit-
to tools, insecticides, sun-
burn lotion, etc.
Obviously, if you're go-
ing to try fishing afoot for
the first time, one of your
first purchases will be a
pair of hip boots or wad-
ers, and I have• a sugges-
tion about that. Invest in
some good waders instead
of hip boots, because you
can easily step into deep
holes and you're suddenly
very wet and miserable.
Over the years, I've
learned • the wisdom of
buying good equipment
that lasts and lads. You
see, the more you wade
and fish, the better fisher-
man you become and the
more you'll want to go
fishing afoot.
