Water Safety, Ability
To Swim Stressed in
YMCA Training Class
The importance of water
safety and ability to swim was
stressed here today by Donald
E. Day in announcing the start
of swimming classes at the Med
ford YMCA. Day is physical di
rector for the "Y."
Noting that 5,000 to 7.000
Americans drown each year,
Day declared, "Most of these
deaths could be prevented if
people wouldn't insiston taking
foolish chances."
Day listed several rules for
water safety. Among them were
these:
1) Learn to swim, and if you
con't swim, stay away from the
water and don't venture out in
small boats.
2) Pay attention to warning
signals.
U& A Beat
3; If called upon to make a
water rescue, use a boat. Swim
to the person in trouble only as
a last resort and then only if you
are a qualified swimmer.
4) If yofir boat overturns,
stick with it as long as it floats
rather than striking out for
shore.
5) Don't swim alone.
6) Don't swim immediately af
ter strenuous exercise, or while
overheated or tired.
7) Don't stay in the water or
on an exposed beach during an
eiectrical storm. If you're caught
in the open, stay flat on the
ground.
8) Don't swim so long that you
become chilled and overheated.
9) Don't permit youngsters too
great a freedom in floating about
on rubber tubes, rafts, animal
figures or water wings. These
give a false sense of security
and children may ridp them into
deep water and fall off.
10) Don't swim at unprotected
beaches or pools.
11) If you get into trouble,
keep calm and take advantage of
your natural buoyancy.
Program To Start
The YMCA summer swimming
program will start Tuesday,
June 7. It will include beginners
classes for boys and girls, and
youngsters will be able to swim
at the "Y" pool four times a
week. Classes will be operated
under the supervision of trafn
ed life guards and swimming in
structors. All classes will be limited to
30 students. When the students
can swim across the pool in the
deep end. they will be graduated
to the advanced non-swimmers
c.'ass. They will remain in that
group until they can jump into
deep water, swim 25 feet, turn
around and swim back to the
starting point without stopping.

Car Only Clue in
Search for Slayer
Of Kalamazoo Child
Kalamazoo, Mich. U.P.) Po
lice today pinned their hopes of
finding the sex-slayer of eight-year-old
Jeanie Singleton on re
ports that a "1949 or 1950 two
tone blue car" was seen in the
area where her mutilated body
was found.
Services for the little lame
girl were scheduled to be held
this afternoon while police
searched the area where the
body was found for clues which
might lead to the capture of her
slayer.
Wheat Allotment in
County is Announced
The total wheat allotment for
Jackson county in 1956 will be
1.604 acres, it was announced
today. This acreage is 59.5 per
cent of the amount of wheat
grown in the county during the
1951-1952 base period. It com
pares with a 1955 allotment of
1851 acres.
There will be approximately
140 farm allotments in the coun
ty for 1956, ranging in size from
1 or 2 acres to about 95 acres.
In addition, wheat also will be
grown on small lots of 15 acres
or less which do not come under
the allotment.
Support Rate
The county support rate for
1955 will be about $1.99 per
bushel, compared with $2.14 per
bushel last year.
On June 25, wheat producers
will have a chance to vote in a
referendum on whether they
want quotas on the 1956 wheat
crop. Approval by two-thirds of
those voting is necessary to put
quotas into effect.
Regardless of the outcome of
the referendum, acreage allot
ments will still apply. This
means growers must stay within
their established acreage' allot
ments in order to be eligible for
price supports.
Any wheat producer who will
have in excess of 15 acres of
wheat for harvest as grain in
1956 is eligible to vote in the
referendum.
If the national vote on quotas
is "yes," price supports between
45 and 90 per cent of parity will
be available for those who stay
within their acreage allotment.
Those who harvest more than
the allotted acreage would lose
the right to price supports and
be subject to penalties on excess
wheat.
Result of "No" Vote
If the vote is "no," price sup
ports based on 50 per cent of
parity. will be available to those
who stay within allotments
Others would not be eligible for
price supports. There would be
no restrictions on marketings.
Under quotas, excess wheat is
subject to a penalty equal to 45
per cent of the parity price. Pay
ment of penalties can be avoided
cr postponed by meeting certain
requirements provided in the
regulations.
Further information concern
ing allotments, quotas and the
referendum is available at the
Jackson county ASC office in
the courthouse.

"We have been flooded with
tips but the hottest tip thus far
is the report by two separate
persons of a mysterious automo
bile seen in the vicinity where
the body was found," Chief of
Detectives Riley Stewart said.
Search Ends
The ravished body of the little
girl was found in a pine grove
15 miles north of here. The dis
covery ended a nine-day search
by thousands of persons of all
of Kalamazoo county and parts
of neighboring Allegan and
Barry counties.
The widespread search for the
little girl, who was crippled by
rheumatic fever four years ago,
started when she failed to return
home from school May 23.
Stewart said a set of footprints
found at the murder scene would
be of little use to police unless
a suspect was apprehended.
Footprints of a man and a
child were seen leading to the
spot where Jpanie's battered
body was found. Only a man's
footprints returned to a sandy
road nearby.
Prints Smeared1
But police said the footprints
were partially destroyed by rain
and only the size of the man's
foot could be determined from
them.
Police said they were holding
two persons for questioning
about the case but refused to dis
close their identity "because so
far we have really nothing on
them and we don't want to ruin !
the reputation of innocent
persons."
Teams of police, including de
tectives who worked recently on
the sex-slaying of Barbara Gaca
in Detroit, made a door-to-door
check of the vicinity where
Jeanie's body was found in an
effort to obtain bits of informa
tion which might aid them in the
search for the crippled girls
slayer.
They were conducting the in
vestigation on the theory that
both girls may have been slain
by the same person because
many details of the cases are
similar.
Communists Aim
Propaganda at
Evangelist Graham
Paris UR) The Communists
turned their "Yank go home"
propaganda on Billy Graham to
day even before the American
evangelist had a chance to
preach in this predorhinanlly
Roman Catholic country.
The fellow-traveling newspa
per "Liberation'' ridiculed Gra
ham's methods and approaeh in
a report of his press conference
Thursday.
The French people should re-i
pent' Read the Bible and follow
me of the Protestant cults or
even, as a last resort, the Catho
lic church. That is the sense of
the appeal Billy Graham will
make to Parisians," the newspa
per chided.
The crusader's "organization
of vast publicity campaigns . . . j
could hardly fail since it con- j
cerns the revelation of a super
man like Clirist," Liberation
said.
Prelude to Crusade j
Graham held the conference;
as a prelude to his five-day cru-
sade which begins Sunday in the
vast Palais Des Sports.
In answer to some of the con
troversy caused by his appear
ance here, the 37-ycar-old revi
valist said he was not here to
fight anybody but to "preach the
Bible."
He emphasized that his pri
mary purpose was to re-awaken
faith among the indifferent and
that he would not engage in sec
tarian disputes.
"Wherever I have gone, I have
always received the friendship
of the Roman Catholic church,"
he told the newsmen.
He added thaj it was true he
had never been sponsored by the
Catholic church and that there
were no Catholics among the
groups sponsoring him in
Prance.

the difference
FOLKS USED TO BUY refrigeration in fifty pound pieces. Frozen foods were un
heard of . . . ice cubes an impossibility . . . and that drip pan under the ice box always
seemed to be overflowing. Today, a silent, white-enameled ice man stands in millions
of kitchens.
But to mass produce millions of refrigerators, manufacturers must be
able to sell them by the millions. Only by advertising can a manufacturer
( talk to millions of people at one time.
ADVERTISING TELLS the story of new refrigerators . . .. and helps sell them. The
more it sells, the more must be made - keeping the production lines and the jobs
going. The result: newer, better appliances at prices more people can afford to pay.
Advertising helped make the difference -in refrigerators, and in our American way
of hif. J
