Mexican Poems Bitter at U. S.
Over Killing Of Sick Cattle

MEXICO CITY. - The cause Of
medicine in Mexico has suffered a
staggering setback as result of the
cattle-killing program.
''The gringos have slaughtered
our animals" the natives cry.
Nov they seek to destroy u.s."
Nowhere is the depressing effect
of this suspicion felt more keenly
than at LaDireccion de Cooperation
Interamericana de Salubridad Pub
lica. This international cooperative
service, founded in 1943 by the In
stitute of Inter-American Affairs
and the Mexico health department,
is concerned that the public health
Of the country may suffer because
of hostility aroused by the campaign
to eradicate the foot and mouth dis
ease.
"The people have become very
bitter" said DR.. Alonzo E. Hardi-
son. And the hostility Of the Mexi-
can farmer, staring hopelessly at
the carcasses of his cattle lying in
lime pits, is directed toward every
thing North American and medical.
The compensatory pesos are mean
ingless to people who still barter
goods and to whom a cow is pros
perity.

AT JONES BEACH, L. l., a life
IA guard spotted a man SWIM
ming beyond the safety zone. He
blew his warning whistle, but the
would-be Weissmuller kept going.
Look at that darned fool" the
lifeguard said to his partner. Bet
ter get ready for trouble" He
footed his warning again. but the
swimmer ignored it.
After he had gone another 100
yards, the marathoner headed
back. He stopped. foated while,
and began swimming again, but
with difficulty.
What did tell you?" snapped
the guard.
Nl'm OK clus- s-clus!"
HEY dropped off their tower,
showed sleek catamaran into the
water and padded swiftly towards
the man. When they reached him,
he was barely ahoat.
whats the idea of coming
after me? I'm all right. he gasped,
as he slid beneath the water. They
hauled him over the pontoons and
brought him in.
Like many men who are rescued
from drowning, the victim was
embarrassed at needing help, be-
cause his son and wife were there.
He was actually a fair swimmer,
but he had broken several rules.
He went in swimming after a
strenuous game of table tennis,
which overheated his body and
sapped his energy. He misjudged
the distance he had gone out, be-
cause water distances are deceiv-
ing. He forgot that ocean SWIM
ming is a two-way trip. He over
estimated his endurance and, in
excusably. he disobeyed the life
guards warning.
His lack of common sense en-
dangered his own life and those of
two lifeguards. And while the
guards were rescuing him. some
one else might have needed help.
Hazards Of the Trade
LlFEGUARDS are frequently be-
rated by people they rescue from
drowning. Some victims actually
accuse their rescuers of assault.
Insults are the least of the haz-
ards of a lifeguard's job, however.
Each year about 100 of them are
rescued from drowning while at
tempting to save other people.
Many are pummeled and clawed
painfully by their benefciaries.
Each year over 1900 swimmers
drown. Most are people who've
overstrained their capacity. Ocean
bathers often overlook the impact
