k EDITORIALS "2 Be Smart in the Water During the hot summer months, nearly everybody likes to go in the water. In addi tion to public bathing on the beaches and at the resorts, water sports attract thou sands of people. The accident toll is high. For some reason, sensible persons take chances in the water. Good swimmers drown through' over-confidence. Flippant jesters rock the boat. It is a good idea for people to know the simple rules that might save their lives. Swimming alone, when overheated or too soon after eating, may be disastrous. It is also a good idea to know the depth of the, water in which you are swimming. Finally, make it a rule to avoid smart tricks and "showing-off." Down Memory Lane YEARS ACO V James M. Robertson, II, son of Mr. '. and Mrs. William A. Robertson, was gradu- . ated from the U. S.
