Mr. and Mrs. George S. Sinnicks en- 
tertained about fifty friends from Salem 
at Tuck’s Point picnic ground last Wed- 
nesday. All the guests were members 
of the Order of the Eastern Star. “Chey 
came on various trains during the morn- 
ing and early afternoon. ‘The hours at 
the Point were spent very pleasantly in 
games and consuming the delicacies of a 
basket lunch. In the evening about half 
the company came to the home of their 
hosts on Ashland avenue and from there 
enjoyed the band concert in the square.

Dear Sir: Will you kindly insert this 
appeal inyour edition of June 25th, ’09? 
Will the authorities concerned kindly 
take steps for the further beautifying of 
our town, and comfort of the citizens? 
The concrete walk at the Cove is ap- 
preciated to the last degree, but at pre- 
sent the low growth, at the sides, renders 
the walk useless as the grass when damp, 
dusty or, as at present, covered with 
arsenate of lead, ruins clothing. 
If the borders are or can be kept cut 
the road would look prettier and the re- 
sidents would be duly grateful.

Knowledge of Swimming Valuable. 
Recent investigations by some of the 
leading swimmers and educators of our 
time have brought to light the fact that 
about 25 per cent. of the students in our 
men’s colleges are unable to swim a 
stroke. If such are the facts, what must 
be the conditions in our secondary 
schools, and among men and boys of 
our land generally? 
The United States government, re- 
cognizing the necessity of thorough 
knowledge of swimming in time of war, 
not only for the crossing of rivers, cut- 
ting of cables, etc., but also as the means 
of physical development and strength, 
places the art of swimming in a high posi- 
tion in the requirements at the military 
and naval academies at West Point and 
Annapolis. No single exercise or game 
will produce such wonderfully good re- 
sults in health, strength and power as 
swimming if correct methods are em- 
ployed. 
Swimming deserves first place among 
athletics and aquatics, owing to the fact 
that it may be the means, not only of 
self-preservation, but also of saving the 
lives of others.

Instruction for Saving Drowning Persons by 
Swimming to Their Relief. 
lst. When you approach a person 
drowning in the water, assure him in a 
loud voice that he is safe. 
2d. Before jumping in to save a per- 
son in distress, divest yourself as far as 
possible of all clothing. At all events 
loosen the foot of your drawers if fast- 
ened, as they will fill with water and 
drag you if you leave them tied. 
3d. On swimming to a person in the 
water, if heis struggling, do not seize 
him then, but keep off a few seconds 
until he becomes quiet, for it is sheer 
madness to take hold of a man when he 
is struggling in the water. After he has 
become quiet, get close to him and get 
hold of the hair of his head, then turn 
him quickly on his back, then throw 
yourself on your back also, and swim for 
the shore or float until help comes to 
your aid. 
One great advantage of this method 
is that it enables you to keep your head 
up, and also the head of the one you are 
trying to save. It is very ‘mportant that 
you take a good hold of the hair and 
throw both the person and yourself on 
yourbacks. Of course there are other 
methods used in saving a drowning per- 
son, but after many experiments this is 
found to be preferable to all others.
