Airmen Hurt In
Shallow Dive
(By our Hayfield correspondent)
On Sunday afternoon about
three o'clock. a car stopped near
Westiake's garage -and a young
man in wet swimming trunks
approached Percy Renner to ask
where he could get a Doctor.
Percy took him to Dr. A. C.
Chapman who administered first
aid to another young man who
had a gash from the top of his
head to his nose. Still another
chap had a badly ,bruised face.
They were airmen from the
RCAF Station ,Cinton, who dived
into about six inches of water
off the beach by the south pier.
The water was merky and they
thought it deep in that spot.
Dr. Chapman instructed them
to take the injured airman to the
Medical Officer at the Station
immediately.
