Better Be Safe Than SorryIs Advice To
Swimmers BY YMCA Safety Experts

Swim with your head as well
as your muscles, is the advice of
swimming experts.
With summertime here and
swimming a common method of
relaxation and amusement on the
Gulf Coast, ten safety rules have
been set out by the Young Mems
| Christian Association in connec-
ton with that organizations wa
terfront program, according to A.
P. May, associate secretary.
"It's better TO be sa1e t:lan sor-
ry," Mr.. May emphasized. your
carelessness or thoughtlessness
might not only %endanger you but
might cause injury to someone
else"
Swimming is one of the best
of all sports, he continued. This
form of exercise brings into play
all the important muscles and is
used in retraining withered limos.
But unless it is practiced with
caution and common sense it can
be me of the most dangerous, he
pointed out. Thousands lose their
lives each year by drowning,
many of them children.
Don't Be a Showoff
The Y. M. c. A. experts list the
ten rules as follows:
|. Never go swimming alone.
If you do, there will be no one to
help you if you get into trouble.
2. Never go swimming at an
unguarded SPOT. Docks, piers and
river banks are dangerous places
to swim.
3. Never dive into strange wa
ter. You might hit your head
on the bottom or get caught in
debris.
A. Don't show off in the wa
ter. "Showoffs' cause many fatal
accidents every year.
5. Don't attempt a rescue I'M
less you are a strong swimmer.
You are only apt to get into trou-
BILE if you do.

Men Rout Brownie After Tussle

which he says is first cousin to an elephant gun in size. They had walked for some time over the land they were inspecting, and had seen no sign of bear in the area.
 Suddenly their huge opponent leaped from tall grass directly into their path. He was only 10 feet away when the men first saw him, and he lost no time in coming closer. The animal closed with Craig first, skipping his rifle from his hands and throw ing him to the ground. For a moment it seemed that round was all bruins, for Craig's left arm had been badly mangled, and his hunting knife was pinned beneath him as he fell, so that he was unable to protect himself in any way.
 In some manner, the m a n squirmed away from the bear and rolled to one side of the path. The animal turned instant ly and started for Merrill, just a few feet away. Just as he lunged forward, Merrill pumped a hasty shot at the animal, which caught h i m squarely in the

Two Glenn Highway home steaders recently took on 1900 pound Alaskan brown bear in no-holds-barred wrestling match, and they're alive and healthy, telling the neighbors about it today. As matter of fact, they believe an unbiased re feree would have given h m the match, for they think one lucky shot fired by one of the men, which bruin took squarely in the mouth, has probably created just another hide of that. brown bear.
 The men, Arther Craig and Arther Merrill, both were treat ed in the Valley Hospital after the incident. Both are now com pletely recovered and have re- turned to their hOmesteads.
 The brownie vs. men main event took place at spot about five miles from the Chitna road, at Mile Post 23. The men had hiked about five miles from the highway to investigate some land sites there.

Fire Engineer
 lnspects Town, , Suggests Code

A. B. Carson, who is touring Ala~ka to real-e 2 survey of the terrjtory's buildings for a group of states insurance companies, was d Palmer visitor last Friday. Mir. Carson visited all downtown buildings, looked over types of residential construction here and inspected the Valleys fire fight ing equipment.
 At the conclusion of his visit, his chief recommendation was that Palmer should immediately establish and enforce civil building code aimed at reducing fire hazards. He was faVorably impressed by the towns new de- velopment in the construction of permanent buildings, and took many pictures of the several new concrete structures in Palmer.
 MT. Carson said many insur- ance companies in the states con- sider Alaskan cities nothing but "shacktowns," and therefore are reluctant to assume insurance risks for the territory. Alaskan restaurants are deemed a hazard ous risk, in particular, he stated. The primary purpose of his visit is to survey the types of build ings now making up Alaska's towns, and to study new build ing trends in the territory. He was to go to Nome after leaving Palmer.
 MT. Carson has an extensive background in fire prevention af1d safety work. He at one time was safety chief and fire protec ton engineer for War Assets Administration region which in- cluded eight states. During the war he was with the Intelligence Division of the U. s. Army Air Force, when he was in charge of the fire prevention in various war plants throughout the na- ton.
