Health Officer
Lists Precautions
For Water Sports
Some timely advice to vacation
ists concerning the proper precau
tions to be used in water sports
was released from the State Health
Department today by Dr. Geo. W.
Cox, state health officer.
It was pointed out that, in view
of wartime restrictions, vacation
pleasures are apt to be limited
to excursions and picnics at near
by lakes, rivers, and ponds of un
familiar depths and currents, and
without the usual lifeguard super
vision associated with beaches and
commercial swimming pools.
“Swimming and water sports
are beneficial to good health pro
vided one’s physical condition jus
tifies this type of exercise,” Dr.
Cox asserted; “nevertheless, they
possess dangerous possibilities if
the rules of safety, through care
lessness or thoughtlessness, are
disregarded.”
The state health officer outlined
the following simple rules for
bathing and swimming in safety:
1. At least one hour should
elapse after a meal before enter
ing the water.
2. Upon the first indication of
fatigue, come ashore and call it
a day. Don’t re-enter the water.
3. If becoming chilled, leave the
water immediately.
4. Do not enter the water when
overheated.
5. Learn to float. This is most
important.
6. Never attempt to rock a boat
in a spirit of fun.
7. Never swim in water that
may be polluted. Swimming close
to or even a few miles below a
sewage outlet is inviting the pos
sibility of acquiring disease.
“Excursions, picnics, and swim
ming parties contribute much to a
healthy, happy, normal life, which
is especially desirable at this par
ticular time when the whole nation
is tense and under a strain,” Dr.
Cox said. “It is by no means ad
visable to eliminate these excurs
ions from our summer program,
but it is important that they prove
beneficial and not disastrous.”

Married Men To
Become Deck
Officers at Present
The Navy has lifted the ban on
married men becoming deck and
engineer officers, it was announced
today by Eighth Naval District
Headquarters.
The Navy Department this week
authorized the enlistment of mar
ried college graduates for the V-7
deck and engineering Naval Re
serve Midshipmen courses leading
to commissioning as Ensigns in
the Reserve. Each married candi
date for the V-7 course must, how
ever, furnish a statement signed
by himself and his wife attesting
that his dependents will be ade
quately provided for during the
period of his training.
College juniors and seniors who
are married will not be considered
qualified for the course under the
new revision. Unmarried candi
dates for the Reserve Midshipmen’s
school must remain unmarried for
the duration of their training. Cur
rently the candidate enlists as an
apprentice seaman and becomes
a midshipman after one month’s
training.
Enlistments for the V-7 course
are being taken at the Navy Re
cruiting Office, Room 304, Cus
tomhouse Building, and at the Of
fice Of Naval Officer Procurement,
217 Camp Street, New Orleans, La.
Students are in poorer physical
condition when they leave the Uni
versity of Minnesota than when
they enter, says Wesley E. Peik,
dean of the college of education.
More than $700,000,000 has beem
appropriated or allocated by the-
federal government for expendi
tures related to education during^
the year ending June 30, 1942.

Gasoline Should
Not Be Stored At
Home, Hall Warns
AUSTIN, May 8.—With indica
tions pointing to a possible na
tionwide system of gasoline ra
tioning, Marvin Hall, State Fire
Insurance Commissioner, warns
against storage of gasoline at
home.
“The storage of any quantity
of gasoline at home,” he said,
“promotes extreme fire hazards.
Gasoline, when stored and handled
through the regular facilities of
the oil industry and kept in stand
ard tanks, is relatively safe and
as a result safeguards incorporat
ed in the design of equipment and
the training of personnel over a
long period of years. However,
gasoline is a dangerous explosive
if kept in all sorts of cans and
make-shift containers, stored in
basements and garages, and
poured from open containers.”
Hall explained that gasoline
vapor, produced when the fluid
is exposed to air, is highly ex
plosive and can be set off by elec
tric sparks or careless smokers.
The vapor, heavier than air, may
flow along the ground under
buildings or into basements, to be
ignited and flash back from a
considerable distance.
“Fire insurance can be voided
under the Texas standard fire poli
cies,” Hall asserted, “if gasoline
is stored on the premises without
a permit of consent from the in
surance company. Thus, if stored
gasoline contributes to a fire de
stroying the property insured, poli
cies could not be collected if the
insurance company had not grant
ed permission for storage of the
gasoline.”
