the blame where it really belongs
he need only read President Tru-
mans speech of March 81, 1889, be-
fore the Missouri State Legislature.
At that time President Truman
was new member of the United
States Senate, and had returned to
his native State to tell the Legis-
lature all about his job in Wash
ington.
In the course of his remarks he
said:
II found out very soon after I
had settled down to study of my
duties that the business of a good
legislator is not to get things done
quickly and efficiently, as good
administrator has to do, but to pre-
vent, if possible, the enactment into

said:
"The Administration ere in

Senator Scott Lucas, the Admin

evaluation of the situation every

1000 Bathers Drown
Needlessly Each Year

Before the year is out, 1000
people will die in the water. And
despite the 30-year war Waged on
water casualties by the National
Safety Council and the Red Cross,
moronic accidents will account for
most of those 1000 deaths.
Bright young men will sneak
into swimming pools for a nocturn-
al dip and dive into water that isn't
there. Careless young mothers will
be looking the other way as their
three-year-olds chase a ball off a
pier. Fun-loving pranksters will
push or throw unsuSpecting friends
into the water.
Panic is a great killer. Many a
good swimmer has drowned simply
because he lost his head. If some
thing goes wrong, remember that
good deep breath will keep you
afloat for several seconds. Don't
squander your strength by waving
your arms wildly. Just paddle them
up and down gently in the water
and you will stay afloat. If you can
do the same with your feet, you'll
be treading water and able to stay
up indefinitely.
Stay out of canoe unless you
are a good swimmer. Don't allow
anyone in your canoe unless he or
she is a good swimmer. The less
stable of these sensitive craft look
deceptively easy to handle, but they
require expert skill. Ocean canoeing
is unpredictable-for anybody. A
fast-breaking wave may tear a
canoe in half.
Rowboats are safer, but still far
from foolproof-or shall we say
moron-proof? Year in, year out,
graphing irons still fish out the
bodies of people who persisted in
changing seats in mid-stream or
crowding four or five into boats
meant for two or three. It takes
pretty bad mismanagement to over
turn a rowboat, but somehow some
people contrive to do it.
Don't stay in the water too long.
Half an hour is plenty for most
people. If you wait until you be-
come chilled, you may suddenly find
yourself with cramp. Don't be
deceived if the air is warm. The
water might be 20 to 25 degrees
| colder.
Cramps are not dangerous-un-
less you lose your head. Rarely is
more than one arm or leg seized
with a cramp at the same time.
With the side stroke, your three
unimpaired extremities should be
able to propel you to safety.
Stomach cramp can be outwitted
simply by turning over on your
back and padding with your hands.
Forty-five persons will drown to-
day in the United States. Forty
five more will drown tomorrow.
You, of course won't be one of
them because you are sane, SEN
sible person in the water. But,
honestly, are you?
George Weinstein, in Liberty.

AS / was driving down Main
Street last Saturday, another car
swung out right in front of me. 1t
turned out to be Buck Blake. He
wasn't going fast. 1t was just that
he had something else on his mind
at that particular moment.
Bucks really one of the incest
fellows I've ever known. But,
sometimes he gets to day-dream-
ing on the road. He sort of gets
a "blind spot" to what's going on
about himl
Now, lots of normally consider
ate folks have their "blind spots"

1t could be anything from day
