TIME TO SWIM

Tumble or deaths by drowning within the last
few weeks is alarming, to say the least. And what makes it
all the more tragic is that there is water all around US.
TO GET IN OR out Of St. Croixe one must cross water
A an island, fishing has been one Of our major Occupations
which means that a stable portion Of the population turns
to the sea for a living, and an even greater number depend
upon the sea for food, fish being an important item Of our
diet.
WHY, THEN, the many deaths BY drownings and the
fact that SO many people do not swimP We are sure that we
do not know the answer, but could venture a suggestion or
two that might help the situation.
IN GREAT portions Of the United States where neither
lake, nor river nor ocean is near, the swimming pool IS an
important part Of both the physical education classes and the
recreation centers. The Young Mems Christian Association
and the Young Women Christian Association have swim
ming pools in practically all their buildings, as do hotels and
other public places. But out this way, everything is left to
chance, and the folly Of such a system IS catching up with
us in the tragic loss Of life.
WITHOU BELABORING the situation, immediate
steps should be taken to institute st0innstng in the physical
education curriculum, and the playground and recreation
centas should ha0e swimming on their programs Nor IS il
difficult to plan and put into execution such programs
THERE ARE beaches on the north, east, west and south
of this island Of ours, and many Of them are wonderful and
safe. lust imagine how welcome such beaches would be to
boys and girls, men and women in many parts Of the world.
And out this way, all it takes is a trip to these beaches. And
if it turns out that some Of the beaches closest are not up to
standard, there IS no reason in the world why the proper
work Of cleaning, and the ike, should not be undertaken to
make them safe and acceptable.
AS A PEOPLE we should resolve that no one in these
