MAY 8th. 1931 No. 50 INHALATORS FO R W EST VANCOUVER MAY DAY CELISBRATION MAY DAY SPORTS Thii-recoifcfe accident a t Caulfeild, w hich very nearly re- anlfod ill the drowning of a little child, has em phasized'm no mifoHniii fashion, the vital necessity for inhalators In W est Vaiiecniver. W e have fifteen m iles of ,eho|*e. line in"the_^muni- pimliiv and, beaches tl\ronged w ith bathers throughout the ■iilmmin- season, and yef, when bathihg or boating accidents occur have to telephone the North 'Vancouver Fire. Dep§rt- L n rfo r such an apparatus. True, they are always w illing and (luick to help, as Was shown by the way in which their c h ie fs c a r roared through the m unicipality last Saturday morning.; with Its siren going. That, however, does not excuse y.s, and the"faci that Mr. Cox's son is alive today is chiefly due to. them and the promptness w ith which they hastened to give assistanw^ujd necessary to remind ourselves, because we all of us know-- and yet under the circum stances it appear^ to he necessary-- that in the; case of such -accidents a few ' minute.s., if not seconds, m ean the difference between life and death. We ought not to w aste l^ ose precious m inutes in .ob -; I tainink assistance-from another municipality, however willing' they may be or however quickly they m ay respond to our calls, because during those m inutes a human life is held in the, bcilsnc'GS* ' ' ^ ̂ , i,„ .There have been few drowning accidents in W est Vancou-. ver cohsrderihg the amount of sw im m ing that -is done, due n o' doubt to the Tact th a t the children here lOarn to swim almost ' as soon as they .can walk around by thOmselves. A t the same time fatalities have occurred, and they will occur, again,, as always .where there is deep w ater. Consequently it is up to us ', to make such .provision as will reduce, .the, danger of drowning , to a minimum, particularly as an fhhalator is, we understand, , not .such an expensive apparatus'after all.* It appears to iis that there should be at least three inhalr ■ ators'.in -West, Vancouver.; one 'at Hollyburn wharf,, a n o th er ,. at Caulfeild,^and th e 'th ir d at H orseshoe-Bay. Such" an"ar7;' rangeme„nr would render it possible to .give'aid at̂ th e shortest ■ .•.possible "notice along the whole of our shore line. We are informed that a resid en t-o f Caulfeild w ith a-Commendable public spirit, has already subscribed the funds .necessary"to purchase an inhalator for use there.. W e 'do not know w h a t ' . success, the Duncan Lawson. Chapter, DO.D.E., have so far . had in their efforts to secure fun ds, for anotherj„but they are . entitled to-the very .strongest support from our people. In any case, by whatever m eans the money^is 'obtained, either \ privately or municipally,, it is to be hoped that w ith the bath-. ■ ing and boating season . already .started sufficient apparatus will be purchased as w ill ensure th e victim s pfa^cidents'. being given that chance of l i f e which modern science provided.
