drowning kills more than cars trucks is claim industrial accident prevention association launch safety drive 10s9 drowned lasi year toronto with all ontario turning lakeward for its holidays the industrial accident prevention associations have launched an inten sive educational campaign to cut down the number of drowning fa talities which every year bring tra gedy into scores of ontario homes drowning claims more lives in canada every year than automobile accidents declared i b morley general manager of the industrial accident prevention associations who is directing the safety cam paign during the past ten years there has been an average of one drown ing a day in ontario this terrible toll must be reduced too many fa milies in ontario are plunged into mourning when they should still be wearing gay summer clothes and having a healthful holiday at the lake the campaign is endorsed by ii r gillard president of the can adian amateur swimming associa tion who points out that 1080 per sons were drowned in canada last year as part of their safety drive the industrial accident prevention as socintion are blanketing the province with thousands of circulars and posters showing in a clear graphic way how to revive a person who has been pulled out of the water in an unconscious condition this method of artificial respira tion known as the pron6 pressure method can also be used in cases of electrical shock and gas asphyxa- tion it is the one recommended by the ontario hydroelectric power commission and the electrical em ployers association the industrial accident preven tion associations urge all citizens to put up these posters in their sum mer cottages so that the important information on resuscitation will be readily available if it should be sud denly needed to save some precious life copies of the poster may be obtained free of charge bv applying to the iapa office goo bay st toronto each vital step in restoring nor mal breathing is carefully explained quickly remove victim from water and place on ground or other hard surface if possible have head slightly lower than the rest of the body so that water and other liquids will drain away from the victim as soon as possible feel with your fingers in the patients threat and remove any foreign body such as tobacco and false teeth if the mouth is tight shut pay no more attention to it until later do not stop to loosen the patents clothing but immediately begin ac tual resuscitation every moment of delay is serious the circular warns full instructions are given on how to restore breathing by applying rhythmic pressure to the back of the unconscious person who is stretch ed out facedown in a horizontal position the ordinary and general tests for death should not be accepted the circular states any doctor should make several very carefu and final examinations and be sure that specific evidence of death is present before pronouncing the patient dead continue artificial respiration without interruption until natural breathing is restored if necessary four hours or longer or until a physician declares the patient dead as soon as this artificial respira tion has been started and while it is being continued an assistant should loosen any tight clothing about the patients neck chest or waist keep the patient warm do not give any liquids whatever by mouth until the patient is fully con scious the circular continues warning is given against moving the patient unnecessarily should it be necessary due to extreme weather conditions or other reason to move the patient before he is breathing normally resuscitation should be carried on during the time that he is being moved the circular adds arufttmauteatum e oecession there was a nadvertisement in a recent farm paper and the- tup line said gates that neither sag nor drag that was in stood big letters so a person could see it without puz zlement and that line caused tis to keep on reading and also to careluly examine the picture continents the peterborough examiner yes sir there it was a gate that would not sag a gale that would not drag there are quite a number ot such gates at farm places today and for that reason we say that farming in general must be moving on because gates used to sag and drag they did so on the tenth concession they sagged and they dragged collectively there was no such thing as standing at the corner of the gate and giving the thing a push and having it swing open when the wagon was going to town when the buggy was going to town when the sleigh was going to town whenever there was any traffic down or up the lane we always had to go and open ami shut the gate opening and shutting die gale was in way helpful lr gave one a cor rect idea of what a quarter circle looked like because there was a last ing and permanent quarter circle in the end of the lane there was sort of a wire hoop which vent over the end of the gate post lust why that fastening had to be put in place was something we never found out there never was any strain on it because the sag in the gate made the free end of it go plunk right down in th ground and there it was fastened with o idea of moving the gate that stood between the barnyard and the house was the same it sagged and it dragged and it was a worse sagger and a worse dragger than the one at the end ot the lane that gate was opened and shut a good many times a day and always it has to have that piece of ire hoop looped up over the gate post to have a gate at the end of the lane and ancther one between th2 house and barnyard and have neither of them sagging and dragging would make an awful difference on farming in general it would he like the water squirt out of a tap instead of having to prime the pump and then pump handle the water we wish they had found out how to make gates like that a long time ago clorig down the lane to open and shut the gate used to get monotonous and it seemed such a useless thing the hired man who drove the milk can down the lane on the stone boat was the only one who never expected to have some person run and attend to the gate for him ami weve always thought kindly of him for it we tlitnl it would help to keep boys on the farm it all farms had those gates which neither sag nor drag quaint custom still prevails flowers provided for judges during summer months at old bailey london justice

george and dr florence robertson of texas technological college think they have discovered a way of forecasting the weather with the aid of the earths magnetic field alone they use a magnetometer an instrument that measures the magnetic intensity of the earth so far as west texas is concerned they report this startling fact to the american physical society in about 95 per cent of the cases observed a high magnetometer is followed by bad weather rain snow sleet hail thunder lightning sand siorms dust storms violent winds cold waves etc in the majority of cases the rise in the magnetometer came about a day in advance of the adverse weather change in about 57 per cent of the cases observed a low barometer is fol lowed by bad weather the falling barometer when it occurred preceded the bad weather by a much shorter interval of lime than the high baro meter and so the two investigators con clude that the barometer can be dispensed with and the much more delicate magnetometer relied upon weather bureau officials view all this with skepticism there was once a magnetic station on mount weather va meteorologists used it to dis cover any such relationship as that reported by drs george and robert son they could find none the physicist will object that magnetic effects are planetary but that the weather is purely local phenomenon make a laura wheeler knit thats
