In summer you are far more likely to suffer with
certain types Of accidents than In winter.
Winter Is associated with slipping on the ice,
dangerous falls. freezing. and fractures Of bones.
Summer brings the exceedingly dangerous motor car
accidents involving special types Of fracture Of the
upper third Of the leg from being struck by bumpers.
fracture Of the knee-cap from striking it against the
dashboard. and the dangerous cuts and wounds
brought about by broken glass.
Swimming brings the danger OF drowning and the
possibility Of infection OF the ear. nose and throat.
Hiking may cause muscle fatigue, blisters on the
feet and severe sunburn.
Picnicking and camping are likely to involve ex-
posure to poison ivy. mosquito bites. bee stings, the
danger OF drinking infected water. and the colds and
pneumonia sometimes resulting from exposure.
No doubt, the prime danger in summer Is sun
stroke, but people have learned to avoid over-ex-
summer it is well to assume an attitude Of extreme
watchfulness in visiting the places in the great out
doors that are available at such times.
It should require, however. only a moderate amount
Of consideration to avoid some Of the hazards that
have been mentioned. Anyone who is planning to
travel into the woods should provide himself with
mosquito netting against mosquito bites, and should
be certain that the milk, water and food come from
pure and dependable sources.
All OF us should realize that summer brings to the
open road innumerable drivers who have not had
much practice during winter and that the conges-
ton In the streets Is far greater simply because OF
the multiplicity Of moving vehicles. Extra careful
ness in the summer season is absolutely necessary to
avoid these dangers.
In most places local governments have arranged TO
insure the sanitation OF swimming pools and beaches.
When such sanitation Is not assured, the swimmer
will do we'll to avoid those waters.
An especial hazard Is involved In the increasing
number OF private swimming pools in which private
owners have failed to provide suitably for changing
the water, and at frequent intervals for chlortnation,
filtration. and all OF the other advantages which are
possible in public swimming pools.
Actually, in most large communities. public SWIM
ming pools are far safer than the private ones
