Club Will Start Safety Training The Ogden Aquatic club will meet again this evening at seven o’clock this evening at seven o’clock at the Weber gymnasium pool, to begin a water safety course. Those who complete the course will be given the regular Red Cross senior lifesaving certificate. Instruction will take up the first half hour, and recreational swimming the latter part of the hour. “We are anxious that all those interested in swimming learn the skills and techniques of life-saving to prepare them for anything that might happen while they are swimming any time, any place. We hope members of the club will take this opportunity to become life-savers,” President Smith Jacobs reported. Kent S. Bramwell, Red Cross water safety instructor, will teach the life-saving course. Floyd Champneys will take care of the recreational swimming. MORNING, MAY 24, 1942 SWIMMERS GET SAFETY CAUTION Water Activity Rules Stressed For Weber Residents In order that Weber county will not contribute to the yearly toll of 7000 drowned persons in the United States, and with the season for aquatic sports at our doors, the Weber county chapter of American Red Cross, through its water safety committee, urges all swimmers to take the following precautions: Always observe a code of safe conduct and consider the worst might happen. Be prepared. Avoid long swims after a season of inactivity. Train gradually. Take a boat along for distance swimming. Accept counsel and advice of the supervisors of water areas. They are familiar with the hazards present. The best time to swim and bathe is two hours before noon, or two hours before dinner (six p.m.). Swimming is the first water sport to learn. It makes the others safe. After eating, wait at least two hours before swimming, to avoid dangerous stomach cramps. Always know the depth of the water before diving. The water should be at least eight feet deep and free from hidden stumps and rocks. Don’t swim alone. Have a water buddy go along, just in case. The prone pressure method is the most effective means of reviving drowning persons. Let no time pass before artificial respiration is begun. Do not wait for a doctor or a machine. Go to work at once. Help the cause of water safety by observing sane regulations and teaching them to others. Boom water sports by being careful…Safety first, always. Plans are already made for one of the largest swim campaigns ever conducted in Weber county, Kent S. Bramwell, director of water safety, and Ferron Losee, chairman of the committee, report. “We will get under way with a ‘Learn to Swim’ campaign immediately, and hope to qualify at least 3000 swimmers, 300 senior life-savers in Weber county this year,” they report. AWARDS TO BE GIVEN TONIGHT Red Cross Compliments Two Volunteer Workers AUG 10 ‘42 “Another valuable man is begin lost to the Red Cross,” it was announced at the chapter office today, which said Ferron Losee, Weber college instructor and chairman of water safety for the chapter, will be moving to Las Vegas, Nev., on the first of the month. He will serve as director of recreation for Las Vegas city and county. At the special “refresher” course to be conducted tonight at seven-thirty in Central building of Weber college, for all first aid instructors, Roy Lofgreen and Mr. Losee will be presented service pins by chapter officials. “Mr. Losee has not only been the mainstay of the enlarged water safety and swimming program in the county chapter, but he has been on of the most competent and busiest of the first aid instructors,” it was declared by Director Kent S. Bramwell. “We are naturally sorry to lose the services of these two capable men. They have always been willing to answer a call for service, and have been zealous in every activity they have undertaken.” Annual A. R.
