Remem- ber that when you are dunked into the drink, not how natty your clothes look but how fast you econ get out of them is what counts, Buttons thet are tough to undo when clothing is dry -re just about impossible to undo when it is wet, Tight collars are a menace, He-vy boots will drag you to the bottom and wet shoelnces, tied in knots, can't be un- done in ce hurry. It is too late to think of these things when you are floundering nround in the water. A good rule to follow is always to dress for boating 2s though you were sure you'd have to take the clothing off while in the water, Whet you don't wear is import nt too, i. boat deck is an excellent place to get a good tan... or a bad sunburn or even sun- stroke, There is little shade in an open boat and if you go far from shore you may be completely at the merey of a very hot sun, So take along sufficient covering and if you do happen to get a sunburn Red Cross recom- mends calamine lotions, olive oil or sterile vaseline, If the burns are extensive snd severe, moist dressings of epsom salts solu- tion give relief, It may even be necessary to call e doctor if the burned person begins to run a fever, 4nd remember ... the act of buying a (cont. in next col.)

Often small boats go where they aren't supposed to go and get in the way of ae boats, with disastrous results, So, learn and obey the rules of the road ee "he local port regulations, -- {nother rule that Red Cross plugs con- sistently is: don't overload the boat. Every year 2t some summer resort or other some helpful parent rents a boat to take his kids for a bit of a row. But he can't take his kids without the kids that are playing with them at the time. So he sets out with ten or fifteen children aboard and the water lapping at the gunweales,. Somebody shifts in his seat and the boat slowly sinks to the bottom, What started out as a happy outing turns into tragedy." o-0-0 NEW POST OFFICE IS OPENED Our handsome new Fost Office was offi- cinlly opened to the public yesterday after- noon when a short ceremony was held with officials of LongLac Pulp and Paper Co, Ltd., and Canada Post Office in attendance, The general delivery and stamp wickets will be open from 8 a.m. to 12 noon and 1 pom. to 6 p.m, daily Mondays through Fridays and from 8 a.m. to 12 noon on Satur- days.
