What would you do if you dis-
covered a person who had just
stopped breatntng? Wouid you
panic, waste precious moments by
running for heip or begin im-
mediatety to give mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation?
As swimming and water sports
become more poputar — in many
placcs without iife guards — you
could encounter just such a situa-
tion.
Other causes such as asphyxia-
tion, injury to the head, eiectric
shock, choking or poisoning can
atso stop a person's breathing.
Whatever has stopped the
br'-athing — drowning, choking,
asphyxiation — start mouth-to-
mouth resuscitation at once.
Seconds count.
Open the vict<n's mouth; ciear
out any food particles, chewing
gum. faise teeth or other obstruct-
ing matter.
Tilt the victim's head back; !ift
his neck and tilt untit his chin
points upward.
Biow air into a victim's iungs by
one of two methods. One way is to
close off his nose by pinching his
nostriis shut with your fingers or
ctose off his nostrils with the side
of your cheek, seating your mouth
over his mouth.
When working with a chitd, seal
your mouth over both his nose and
mouth.
Blow at the rate of 12 deep
breaths per minute, or about five
second interval;* For infants and
small children, blow gently at the
rate of 20 short, shallow breaths
per minute.
With each breath you blow, the
victim's chest should rise. After
blowing in the breath, the rescuer
should remove his mouth and listen
for the sound of returning air.
If the victim's chest does not
rise and no outflow ts detectable,
the rescuer needs to try quickly to
clear the passage. To do so, turn
an adult on his side and strike
several sharp blows between the
shoulder blades. You can hold in-
fants or small children by their
heels or with their head down, give
several sharp pats between
shoulder blades.. Then ctear mouth.
These directions should help you
in case you encounter a disaster,
but the more training and prepara-
tion you have the better. Contact
your local health department, local
civil defense office or Red Cross
for information on life-saving in-
struction.

tNSTKAU OF BANKRUPTCY
To the wage earner drowning in
a sea of debt, the Bankruptcy Act
offers two kinds of rescue. One is
bankruptcy itself, whereby most of
a person's debts are wiped out.
Last year about 155,000 individuals
chose that course.
The second alternative, although
not so welt known, has been gain-
ing favor steadily in recent years.
Called the Wage Earner Plan, it is
designed for the person who is
ready, willing, and able (eventual-
ly) to pay his debts—if only he can
have a breathing spell to put his
finances in better shape.
Although the Wage Earner Plan
is administered by the bankruptcy
court, the debtor continues to be
called a "debtor55—never a "bank-
rupt." In a typical case it works
this way:
The debtor agrees to turn over a
fixed percentage of his weekly
wages to a court-appointed trustee,
who makes regular payments to
the creditors. In return, the debtor
is protected from wage attach-
ments and most other forms of
pressure by creditors.
In short, the Wage Earner Plan
gives a debtor time to pay his
debts gradually, under the protect-
ing wing of the court. It requires
an OK by a majority of the un-
secured creditors, and also by the
court.
Under what circumstances will
the court approve a debtor's appli-
cation? There are two main tests:
1) Financial-The debtor's earn-
ings must be large enough, in pro-
portion to his debt burden, to give
a reasonabte chance of success. As
a rule, the court will approve
only if his debts can be paid off
in not more than 3 years, using
not more than 25 '/r of his in-
come.
2) Moral—The debtor must have
an earnest desire to make good on
his obligations, even at the cost of
prolonged beM-tightening and
penny-pinching. And. in most
cases, his wife must share that
desire.
The Wage Earner Plan is not an
easy alternative. Nevertheless, last
year about 27,000 debtors chose
that way of keeping the stigma of
bankruptcy from their record.
For even though debt is not con
sidered as sinful as it once was.
there still are a lot of job applica
tions and credit forms that ask
the question: "Were you ever a
bankrupt?"
And there still is comfort in being
a person who, like Henry Wads-
worth Longfellow's village black-
smith, "looks the whole world in
the face, for he owes not any
man."

Biologist Joe Davidson of the
Texas Parks and Wildlife De-
partment recommends planting
of food plots for the fall dove
season.
Roaming highways and by
ways, reminds Davidson, won't
put legal birds in the bag, but
hunters now may easily develop
their own shooting areas with
little effort.
Browntop millet may be the
answer to a part of the food
problem, he says, with a plant-
ing cost of about $2 per acr
Ti'r< seed should be drilled whti
fertilizer added.
