Jimmy Demaret, the Texas born

had 34-36--70 for the same total.

Hardly a day passes during the
summer when we don't hear of
an accident drowning. With the
recent increase in the number of
bathers and in boating, canoeing
and fishing trips, it's a wonder
there aren't more.
Many bathers go to beaches or
pools where competent life guards
are on duty. Rarely do we hear
of a water accident at such
places. Most drownings happen
at t-of-the-way places-rivers,
bays, or at some little lake tucked
away among the hills.
The desire for privacy while
swimming is understandable.
But the chances for an accident
are much greater when you go to
some secluded spot alone or with
one or two companions. Drinking
while swimming or boating adds
even more danger. Alcohol and
water, like alcohol and gasoline,
make a poor mixture.
Life guards are for your pro-
lection. So are safety rules. If
you are restricted to certain
section of the beach, there's a
reason for it. Guards and rules
are not there to restrict your
pleasures: they're present for
your safety. Where there are no
guards, it's foolish to go far from
shore even in the company OF
strong swimmers. Very few
strong swimmers can assist

were singles by Pitcher Bill Bevens

Lopat, the only consistent pitcher
on Ted Lyons staff, rang up his
9th win to nine defeats and his 10th
complete game of the season. 1t
was another heartbreaker for
Bevens. who yielded only six hits
but went down for the 10th time.

romp over st. Louis, cut the Yanks
lead to 10hs games with 81 to play.

held until the other arrives there

Light frost in the Bluffton area
Monday night failed to do any APP
preciable damage to either farm or
garden crops, but the warning was
there that killing" foray may be
expected from Jack Frost almost
any day now.
Crop damage was very slight in
this locality, with only sweet pota-
toes and other very tender plants af-
fected. Corn was not hurt, and
farm observers even painted a pic

soy beans. In the case of the lat

cause some of the leaves to fall, al
lowing beans to ripen more quickly.
Temperatures recorded Monday
night when Jack Frost applied his
brush lightly to the countryside were
reported in many cases as low as 80.
The official reading for the area,
however, showed a low of 81 at
5 a. m.
Following the first taste of frost,
the official debut of fall on Tues
day was marked with fair weather
and slowly rising temperatures. Fall
began officially at 4:29 p. M, and
despite milder weather the tangy
crispness of the season is in the
