Watkins On the 'Shark Scare' Since time immemorial the alarmist has screamed, "Wolf! Wolf!", most of the times when no danger was present at all. Many cries of "wolf were probably sounded when only a harmless, frightened puppy was scratching at the door. Today the nervous and the excitable have changed the words. Now the cry "shark! shark!", sends the timid into a panic, believing a man-eating shark is hiding behind every piling or in every wave. A person of the right tem perament, scratched by barn acles may tell the awe-struck onlookers, "a big shark is in the water." Immediately everyone becomes concerned; everybody crie:; "shark." Number the Same Then the question is asked, "Why so many sharks"? It is exceedingly doubtful if the number of sharks has notice ably increased. Under normal condition . their numbers would remain more or less constant, from one year's end to another. "Warmer waters near shore has" driven them in," is an other explanation, many times by well informed sources. This would seem o be too obvious to be scientific ally correct. The real reason is probably that more people are in the water. Conditions being such as they are, it's getting a little crowded in the shallow waters near the ocean's edge. With the in creased numbers of people now enjoying salt water bath ing, together with a great number of skindiyers, both the sharks and the people are short of elbow room. They are bound tq . get in each other's way. The same number of sharks, in -'aters now frequently oc cupied by four times as many swimmers and divers, would create a situation fraught with potential danjer. It cannot be denied, there liave been peo ple eaten and others attacked by sharks. Most Obtainable Sharks, like most of the rest of us, are naturally prone to eat or attempt to eat the easiest obtainable food. A large shark, whose reflexes have been slowed by age or disease, could become danger ous when it learned that a man or woman in the water could be attacked without the danger of trying to eat a larger or more dangerous adversary- It would be natural to attempt to fr ed on the most procurable prey. Going back as far as history records are available, not over half a dozen people have been eaten by sharks in the tremendously long coast line of the state of Florida, in spite of the fact that uncount ed millions of people have enjoyed salt water bathing.

CALL SPring 3-6233 or your travel agent. Taking these records percentage-wise, your chances of being eaten by a shark, even though you swim frequently, is pretty slim. You would have about as much chance of being hit by a low-flying satellite. (Released by The Register and Tribune Syndicate, 1959) The port of New Westmin ster, B.
