system of financing. AS result of
their work and that of the State
Citizens Committee, the foundation
program was enacted into law by
the legislative assembly of 1949. AS
a result of this program, the great
majority of the schools of the state
are able to offer much better cir
riculum to their students, to house
them in better buildings and provide
them with adequate equipment to
make the program effective. 1t is
generally recognized as one of the
successful, and equitable methods of
financing public education in the US.
The National Council of State Gov
ernments report says, ability to sup
port an educational program is no
longer satisfactorily measured or
utilized by property taxes alone. In
most states, for effective equaliza-
ton of educational opportunity, at
least 80 to 40 per cent of the total
cost of the foundation program prob
ably will need to come from state
sources"
1t is inconceivable that the people
will allow this program to be jeopar-
died. The schedule for building
school budgets under the program is,
in most instances, inadequate in light |
of present-day costs. This year some

heated or tired is not good. (Cool
off and rest awhile before swim

Staying in the water or on an
exposed beach during an electrical
storm. (If you're caught in the
open, life flat on the ground.)
Swimming so long you become
chilled and over-tired. (Stop before
your muscles rebel by going into
cramps.)
Permitting youngsters too great
freedom in floating about on in
flated rubber tubes, RATS, animal
figures or water wings" (These
give a false sense of security.
Children may ride them into deep
water and fall off. Also, the in
flated carriers may spring leaks.)

ional measures have been taker

fathers-are probably worse. Dad
doesn't want his kids to know he
can't swim, or dive. He goes ahead
and tries to bluff it out, just ask
ing for trouble. Usually ends up in
plenty of it, too"
Many such accidents, Mr.. Purdy
suggested, would be prevented if
women took a more active interest
in water safety. Since drownings
claim far more boys and men than
girls and women, it is up to wives
and mothers to crack down on
shenanigans in the water, he said.
Another way people take foolish
chances in the water is rushing to
the aid of someone in trouble. Matt
Purdy said. His advice is to leave
rescues to the experts. Otherwise,
the would-be rescuer may become
victim himself.
Even the experts, he said, will
stay out of the water if at all pos
sible when making a rescue. Ap-
proved rescue tactics for amateurs
include extending a long pole or
stick to the person in trouble,
throwing or pushing some buoyant
object to him, and trying to reach
him with one hand while grasping
some support with the other.
If the person in trouble is too
far away to be reached by any of
these means, the rescuer should go
to him in a boat. This is safer,
faster, and requires less exertion.
Another important thing to re-
member about boats is to stay
with them if they capsize. Lives
are lost needlessly," Mr.. Purdy
said, because people strike out
for the shore instead of holding on
to an overturned boat and waiting
for help to come to them. Distances
are deceptive over the water. 1t
may be a much longer swim to
shore than it looks.
"And speaking of swimming TO
Shore" he went on, "that's the
right direction for a race. Always
race toward the shore, not away
from it. You also can race parallel
to the shore. Then if something
goes wrong, help will be close by.
It's a good idea, too, to have
someone along whenever you go
swimming. Going swimming alone
is taking more than a foolish
chance. It's plain crazy Accidents
can happen to the best swimmers.
If you're alone when trouble hits,
you may not make it back to shore
nor will there be anyone around
to go for help.
Are there other foolish chances"
by which swimmers tempt fate?
Unfortunately, yes. Matt Purd,
lists these:

Don't Take Foolish
Chances Is Advice
OF Swim Instructor

That is the easiest-and best
way to avoid danger in the water
this summer, Matt Purdy, Boys
Program Director and Aquatic
Instructor of the Northeast YMCA
declared today.
Every year five to seven thou
sand Americans drown. Most of
these deaths could be prevented if
people wouldn't insist on taking
foolish chances" he said.
Take this matter of not being
able to swim. A person who can't
swim has no business in deep and
or unsupervised water. That's
ordinary horse sense. Non-swim-
mers should stay out of small
boats, too. But what happens ?
Why, every year-and this one
won't be an exception-thoysan
of non-swimmers come to grief
because they ignore such a basic
rule of self-preservation.
MAYBE they're ashamed to ad-
nit they can't swim. Or maybe
they figure accidents happen to the
other fellow, never to them"
1t follows, he added, that the
Number One rule of water safety
is: learn to swim.
The Northeast YMCA as well as
other agencies are striving to i'm
press upon the youth of our area
the important value of knowing
now to swim. Swimming classes for
beginners and advanced are sched-
uled throughout the Fall, Winter,
and Spring months by the "Y."
During the late summer the North
east YMCA will be teaching boys
and girls how to swim at the
beautiful "Y" Camp at Center
vile Mills; over 800 boys and girls
have already registered for this
camping thrill.
Taking foolish chances isn't
limited to persons who can't swim,
Matt Purdy pointed out. There's
the once-a-year" swimmer who
forgets his flabby muscles and
short breath. A long swim-or
fast one-may be his last.
"What really gets the aquatic
experts dander up, though, are
swimmers who fail to heed warn
ing signs"
"Some people," he said, "think
warning signs are for the birds!
They behave like signs were put
up just for laughs. So they crack
their skulls diving into shallow
water. Or get sick from SWIM
ming in a place that's crawling
with sewage germs. Others are cut
on underwater broken bottles, tin
cans, or other sharp objects, or
trapped in deep holes.
