SKIES ARE BRIGHTENING It Bays tho toll of tho, watcrB has been so heavy this season that the announcement of a drowning ns the reader takes up his dally paper Is almost expected ns n matter ot course. This heavy loss of life points sure ly to one conclusion: Moro peoplo should learn to swim. In w state that Is traversed by great rivers, dotted with countless lakes and bor dered by the ocean, failure to learn to swim Is Inexcusable neglect of one of tho cardinal principles of safety. In Oregon tho mnn or woman who goes through life without In boiiio way Incurring tho risk of drowning Is so rare as to bo a curiosity. Ev ery fishing trip, every picnic on. tho banks of somo stream or lako, every excursion to the beach, overy jour ney that includes In any way travel by water Include tho menace' of death by drowning. No ono knows j whon ability to swim will bo nil that will stand between him and death. ' Yet, in spite of theso facta that aro known uy over one, ii i -prising how many peoplo know no thing of tho art of swimming. In particular, tho number of womon who know how to swim is astonish ingly small so small that tho wo man who can swim possesses nn ac complishment that entitles hor to considerable distinction. Learning to swim is not a diffi cult feat, for a reasonable degreo of porsorveranco Is all that Is re quired. It Is really amazing that so ninny people deliberately cut off an avonuo of cscapo from death by falling to learn how to tako caro of thomsolvoB in tho water. CHETCO RIVER; OREGON , Written for The Coos Bay Times by Arthur J. Hayes, Harbor, Forever flowing to the ocean's foam, Chetco River rolls lief tide to .Mermaid s home; From her rude source, In snowy mountain range, Defying nges of relentless change, Gliding with majesty and beauty along, And like nn everlasting theme of song, Thou queenly stream, how many suns have risen, SInco first thou coursed beneath the dome of Heaven? While ever wearing her waters of blue, She hns cut the deep and rocky canyons through; HnB hewed tho solid and enduring wall; And caused tho foaming catnract to fall, Writing In the eternal story pages, , ,. . . Tho triumphs o'er time and world's nges. Oh, could this river but picture nnd toll, ; ' What scenes, what deeds, would cause the heart to swell. That happened In tho countless years now gone, Beside this stream thnt still goes gliding on. Hero at this calm and lovely river's brink, The wild beasts came to take their plunge ,nml drink; ,,..,. And on Its banks, tho rcdinen often strayed, And thoughtless children of the forest plnycd. ' : And now, In beauty, sweeping on nlway, Chetco River moves, to mlnglo with the spray.
