WILD ANIMALS ARE
UNPREDICTABLE
It is never safe to take unnecessary
chances with wild animals, and people
living in or passing through areas
where wild animals abound should
always safeguard all children. Bears,
wolves and other large predatory wild
animals still are found in Northern
Ontario and other Canadian waste
lands. They make good game hunting
for the hunter, but they are a hazard
for the settlers and tourists.
Recently a lean and vicious 200-
pound black bear lumbered out of
Michigan's north woods, stalked up to
a lonely cabin in the Marquette nat-
ional forest, 30 miles. northwest of

Sauk Ste, Marie, Well., carried off the
little slaughter of a forest ranger and
left her mangled body beside a forest
stream.
The little three-year-old girl was
playing on the back porch of the cab-
in, whiCh is situated on a knoll. At
about 3 p.m. the mother heard a
scream and looked out the kitchen

window to see the bear disappearing
over the knoll dragging, the child by
the neck. The frantic woman was un-
able to save her daughter from \the
beast, which was killed later by an
angry posse.
Wildlife authorities generally agree
that it is •rare •for a hear to attack a
human, but they are unanimous that it
is "bad business" to take chances.
While bears and other 'wild animals
will generally scare off if you yell at
them, it is better to be safe than
sorry, "for wild animals are unpredic-
table."
DON'T TRY TO GET
DROWNED
Swimming is one of the most pleas-
ant and beneficial sports at this, season
of the year, but drowning accidents
are far too common, Parents and guar-
dians should take full advantage of the
opportunity to have every child learn
how to swim under expert instructors.
This opportunity is available in
Wingham this summer and it should
be a wonderful thing for the young-
sters of this community.
Even expert swimmers sometimes
get drowned because they fail to ob-
serve a few simple rules and reason-
able precautions: Those who join the
swimming classes in town this year
will be carefully and efficiently in-
structed in these rudimentary rules
while they are learning to swim, but
for older folk we will remind them of
a few of them as follows:
(1) Learn how to swim before
bathing or boating in deep water.
(2) Learn a few elementary life-
saving rules for water mishaps.
(3) Never go in swimming when
you are very hot or very tired.
(4) Never go in swimming until at
least an hour after eating a meal.
(5) Never yell for help or feign
drowning unless in real trouble.
(0) Never pull or push another per-
son into the water.
((CO Never splash water in the
face of another swimmer.
(8) Never pull another swimmer
under the water.
(9) Don't overtire iourself while
swimming in deep water.
(10) Learn to float and change your
style of swimming, occasionally.
(11) Keep your eyes open and your
mouth shut under water.
(12) Don't stay too long in the
water as that is weakening..
(13) Never dive into shallow water
or uncharted pools.
And if you get into difficulties
through sickness or cramps, etc., try
and remember that the more violently
you struggle the worse your plight.
Other things to remember are:
.(1) If you keep your senses yew cal
remain afloat by the steady use of
!just your.arms and legs.
(2) If the water is not too deep you
can survive a considerable time by
filling the lungs with air, then Sink-
ing to the bottom. and springing up
jto the surface of the water again, and
repeating the pert irmance as long as
possible.
(3) If the bottom is firm you may
Further help yourself by taking a few
'eteps or springing shorewards each
time you hit bottom.
(4) If the bottom is firm and you
are near shalt.wer water )ott may be
,able to hold your breath long enough
Ito take the few steps to safety.
(5) Never struggle with or grab
your rescuer. That walla probably
be fatal to you both, so keep your head
and your life at the same time.
These are just a few of the dos and
d.itt'ts of swimming tlat may sue
