SEAFORTH, Friday, July 28, 1933. Lack of Care leads to Diving Accidents Three diving accidents, two of 'them fatal, occurred over the week 'end. • In one case a man took a dive from the six-foot 'bank of the Humber, River at Toronto into four feet • of water and died from the injuries he received. Another man dove from the top of a children'snelide, twenty feet high, into water only tiVir and a half feet deep. • Coming nearer "ranee there was the pad fatality legit Sunday morning at Grand Bend, 1..'hen a young man ern- ploe-ed in Seaforth, lost 'his life as the result of a broken neck, from a dive off the dock into shallow water. In all three cases the accidents could have been avoided if sen ord- inary precautions had been taken be- fore the dives were made. • In the first case the water was so discolored the man could not see the depth of water into which he was diving. He just took a chance. In the zecend case the man, in all, probability, mistook the children's. slide for a diving platform and Plung- ed in without ever testing the depth Of Water. The -height from which -he 'dove was neuch greater than in either of the other eases, but he escaped .with. his life, although rery critically injured. The third case was somewhat dif- ferent as a number of young men had been diving at the same place for some time, but when one boy at- tempted to extend the distance a few feet in a running dive, the depth of water in`those few feet proved inade- quate, and the fatality occurreci. One often hears of the danger of diving. Accidents of this 'kind, no matter how serious and regrettable, should not be attributed to any such thing. As a matter of fact there is no more danger in. diving than there is en crossing a street, presided propee precautions are taken.. and one of these is the depth- and condition of • the water. A man who is unable to esvim is 'very particular about the depth of water into which he plunges or even wades. It is the proficient swimmer who invariablyemeets with •diving ac- cidents. A good eviiromer does not need to feel the bottom of a river or the bot- tom of a lake 'beneath his feetto know that .he is safe. The bottom, wherever it may be, means nothing to him, He forgets all about it, But it is this forgetfulness, this disregard of what always lies some- where beneath water, that is the cause of almost all diving accidents. There is a bottom to all water, whether rock or sand, makes little difference, and it is always dagger- ous to plunge head first into any water without first measuring to find where 'that bottom lies. There Are, Ang Number of •" No Sports." There are m.arise men in mann walk, of life to whom the -am, "No sport" could be applied without fear of con- tradiction, or a law suit either. One of these gentry was recently referred to by the Winchester Press in the following terms: "A Gananoqueman was freed $50 and costs, last week for,' shooting ducks out of season. The fine is not too severe. This is the hatching sea- son and a man is no sport who goes out to shoot game birds at this sea- son of the year." The test of sportsmanship is not confined to shooting game birds out of season. What would you call the man who whips a trout creek and carries home every fish up to and over three inch- es in length? Or the man who will carry away as many bass of as many lengths as be can pull out of the river? Or the thug -he doesn't deserve the ranee of mate-r'ho will dynamite a deep hole and carry away RIF the fish 'that float to the top? Or the ea:me-type of creature who will tet a stterine? There are many names, all ex-pres- Silee etnd all tee, one could call these Alleles, but none Of them would be Priaiteble. 'We are on safe ground, lieveever, When we eey that a man tvlt**Odd do allyone of these things ileeifa*.e . 14.4ieSeentiniotWglerne 'birds and the eatell .11tiatE:ef:.#4, )14 laid Mon by .1,44a1iestosliew its authority, but because without that law garae birds and, fish would soon become extiriet. It is only the man who obeys that law who is entitled to be called a sportsman, and it is very regrettable then the title is so limited in learn ber. The penalties of the law are not severe enough for the other kind. ENTRANCE RESULTS (Continued from page 1) • Brussels. • L, Alcock, D. Ballantyne (h.), J. Bernard (h.l, B. Black, J.

Dr. Margaret Strang spoke with Much fervor and telling effect and closed quite a long address with a strong appeal for the prayers of • the people for her continued success and for assistance for those so great- ly in need and for helpful books and literature.

Our rural mail couriers are fortu- nate in this district in not coming across swarms of bees .pn rural boxes as a neighboring courier, did a -short time ago, but he very wisely did "not enter into strife with• the bees, leav- : ing them for the time being in full possession. This frerninds, your cor- respondent of the old time wise ad- monition or 'advice not to meddle with two things at least, namely, "A • woman's rights" aid "the business. end of/ et wasp." The farmers are busily engaged in harvesting in this district and the crops are turning out very well. Mr. N,,othort .Peok and 'Mrs. J. M. (Peck and members of her family are cawing at Bayfield. Members qf the Bolton, Horton and Berry families have in turns being, enjoying their joint cottage at Grand Bend. inthe series of Inter County base- ball matches, in which our boys have been taking part, they have had splendid success and are now lead- ing in the scheduled games, theta* last contest being with St. 'Marys on Monday„ evening last, in whieh they won out by a score of 11 to a. The battery for 'Hensall was Welsh and Joynt and for St. Marys, Clarke and Noble. The game was not as excit- ing as it would have 'beer/ had the score been near an even one dering the innings, but of course that was nothing to blame the Hensall Playere. who excelled in pitching and batting and played a fine combination game throughout, and there was nothing to mar the game throughout,. there being no, what might be termed 'heck- ling or trying to confuse or aemby the players, which, we think, always adds to the prestige of the players and spectators. Mr. and Mrs. Norman Cook and family have returned from spending several .weeks pleasantly at Weser* Beach,' where they are accustomed to go in the summer menths. 'MT. L. R. Coles and Mrs. Coles and family are enjoying summer holidays with relatives and friend's in several localities. • MissnDolly Carlin, of London,. and formerly of Hensall .and • Seaforth, is spending a few days here, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Norman Cook. , On Monday last, the 24th, an oc- casion which very seldom calls for remembrances was that ef 'Mae- Agur's 102nd birthday, when she was visited by some of her mosteintimate* friends and neighbors, who could not let such an occasion pass without calling on one who was so deservedly held in the yeeei highest respect and • esteem for„.her -many Pt,siu1ent Sine qualities and splendid life. It will be remembered that Mrs. Agur was the mother-in-law of the late Rev. Dr. Colin Fletcher, so many years pastor of the Thames Road and Kirk - ton congeegations, and who after re- tiring from the ministry at a fine advanced age and full of honor, came to reside in the village, together with , Mrs. Agur and her deughter, Miss Mary, who resides with her • mother, and has for many years fol- lowing the death of Mrs. Fletcher, the late wife of the late Rev. Dr, Fletcher. We will not here attempt a history of so fine a life as that of Mrs. Agur, as we feel we could not do it jestice. Suffice it to say that Mrs. Ague still retains all her facnl- ties, particularly of memory .in a wonderful degree, and is still a most interesting conversationalist, and to- gether with her daughter, Miss Mary, most kind and hospitable entertain- ers, and enjoy a nice quiet life such as they live here. It is the wish, we 'know, of a host of friends here and eleewhere; that with continued good -health Mrs. Agur may be spared to more anniversaries at her wonderful age, now having entered into her 103rd year. Mrs, Agur wets the re- cipient of many .kind eementbranees from relatives and friends scatteredthreunhoue the province. Her early life was spent as far away from here as Prince Edward Island.
