WARNING ISSUED
 TO VACATIONISTS
Extreme Caution Should Be Exercised in Water
 Sports

Vacationists Ind others VITO spend their vacation near water will do well to remember that water is not mans natural element so water sports should be taken cautiously and with full Knowledge of the traits of water, William c. Yelling, director, bureau of vital statistics, warned in the weekly broadcast of the state department of health. If every bather was also a swimmer there would be fewer drownings, he said and advised that because swim ming is a strenuous exercise no at- tempt at long distance swimming should be made without proper training and safeguards and that at least an hour or two should elapse after eating before going in bath ing.
 Whether swimming in or boating on lakes, rivers or salt water, the utmost caution should always be ex- ercised. Lakes frequently have sub- merged logs or tree stumps near the shore which are particularly hazardous t. the diver. Due to the hurricane the danger from this source will be even greater this year than before, MT. Yelling said. Riv- CTS may contain spots where the water is relatively shallow but deep hole may be only step further out. At the seashore there are also risks from strong tidal currents or hidden rocks.
 While 1t is of great importance to learn to swim, he stated that everyone should also know how to revive a person threatened by death from drowning. A leafiet on what to do in such cases is available free upon request to the Connecticut state department of health, Hart ford.

An additional levy for water SER
vice, in the form Of a reduction IN
the discount allowed for payment
of bills by the tenth Of the month,
was recommended to the Henderson
CITY Council this afternoon by Mayor
Henry T. Powell. This and other pro-
posals were laid before the Council
by the mayor in an inaugural ad-
dress he made to them on receiving
the oath for his second term of two
wears as the city's chief executive.
The mayor said new water
storage tank was sorely needed by
the city, and sought new funds for
the purpose, estimating that a re-
duction in the discount from the pre-
sent six percent to a level of three
percent would provide $1,000 adj
ditional revenue annually.
A new fire truck was urged, with
revocation of certain main street
parking concessions now in force,
provisions for the maintenance of
the Kings Daughters park and other
suggestions.
Mayor Powell held out little hope
for any reduction in the city'S tax
rate of SLIGO during the coming fis-
cal year, declaring that the levy
would be needed to meet city fl
nancial obligations.
The Council met in accordance
with a provision of the city charter
which requires that new members
oil he nt hn1
at D. m. the first Monday in June
following the municipal election on
the first Tuesday in May.
Aldermen reelected and who took
their oaths this afternoon for two
year terms were J. w. Gill in the
first ward, F. B. Hight in the third
and c. NJ. Hight in the fourth. In the
second ward B. H. Hicks was elected,
and took the oath as the only new
member of the Council.
The Council elected the city clerk,
the assistant city clerk, various sup
ervisors, the city attorney and other
executives.
The address by Mayor Powell after
taking his oath for a second term
this afternoon, follows in full:
To The Honorable City Council and
Citizens of Henderson:
am indeed grateful to the citizens
of Henderson for the confidence they
have displayed in me by returning
me to office for the ensuing term, and
I can assure you that l will at all
times endeavor to conduct the office
in such a manner as to merit this
confidence. And l am sure that with
the cooperation of the members of
the City Council and the cooperation
of the citizens in general we will be
able to improve conditions in our city
materially.
l am happy that the deficit which
confronted us two years ago has been
wiped out and that the city is OPP
Grating upon pay-aS-yOu-gO plan,
and is retiring its indebtness in an
orderly manner And it is my recon-
mention that we continue to retire a
substantial amount of our bonds each
year as they come due in order that
the interest payments, which now
amount to over $35, 1000 each year, be
stopped as soon as possible.
However, it is a we'll considered

TITLES ON WEDDING
INVITATIONS

Dear Mrs. Post: When wedding
invitations and announcements are
engraved with titles, The Rever-
end" and Doctor" should these
names be written in full or alb
breviated? II there is no rule, then
which way do you prefer?
Answer: Both are equally COR
rect. Where the line of engray-
ing is not too long, I think it is
better spelled out. But II. for ex-
ample, Doctor and Mrs. Allan Lee
are announcing the marriage of
their daughter to The Reverend
William Worthing Whittlesbank,
the groom's title would be abbre-
waited for the sake of balancing
the lines as much as is possible.
On the other hand. If his name
were as short as The Reverend
Burk Tate, it might be better writ
ten in full. A snag in these ex-
tremes is that Doctor and Rev
erend should match. Cutting the
groom's title makes 1t necessary
to engraye DR.. and Mrs. Allan Lee.
The best thing to do is to write
out the whole page and then see
which looks best.
