People who indulge in water sports as well as those who are only spectators of such sports should have knowledge of re- suscitation by means of artificial respiration and be able to put this knowledge to immediate use when a tragedy occurs. the state de- partment of health declared in its current weekly bulletin in which 1t described the steps in the Shafer Prone Pressure method of resuscitation, the easiest to learn and the most simple to perform. Many of Connecticut's 103 drown ing victims of last year could have been saved had this type of first aid been given, the bulletin said.
 After the victim of drowning has been rescued from the water, the steps in this method are as follows:
 First. Kneel, and straddle the patient below the hips placing hands on small of the back with fingers over the lowest ribs, tips
 
 of fingers just out of sight.
 Second. With arms straight, while counting one, two, swing forward bearing weight on body firmly but not violently,
 Third. Swing backwards while . counting one,. strengthening up and thus relieving pressure. This aallows air to be drawn into the lungs.
 Fourth. Rest in this position for two counts.
 Fifth. Repeat these movements rhythmically, forward and back wards, without Interruption, about 12 to IS 8 minute, until natural breathing is restored.
 Sixth. Meanwhile, if assistance is at hand, a physician should be sent for, patients tight cloth ing should be loosened at neck, chest or waist, and patient should be kept warm.
 Patient should not be moved from this spot until he is breath ing normally and then should be carried in a lying position to a place where he can be kept warm and receive expert medical atten- ton.
 This method is illustrated in a short special leafiet available on request to the state department of, health.
 The success of this method de- pends on the promptness with which resuscitation starts. after the victim is brought from the water. A loss of one minute then may mean the loss of that life. Of assistance also is an "inhala- tor" which should be sent for at once by some bystander. All of the state beaches and many cities and towns have inhalators and the nearest place should be To- cated quickly.
 The following places have in- halators and others may have been added recently:
