M~~M__MB»____M_MM___i j Members of the Cosmopolitan Club | and all lady, friends are specially invited to the euchre tournament to-mor-row night, commencing at 8 o'clock. The secretary of the local branch of the Royal Life Saving Society, states that lady bathers are interesting themselves; m the meeting to be held tonight. Enquiries have been received from several, who desire to know if they are eligible to become members. He says there is no reason why a ladies' ■ branch could not be formed m conjunction with the men's, the same as m several towns the size of < Gisborne. It is a wise move to get the ladies interested m this important project. It is not necessary for a person to be a strong swimmer, as all the important work of resuscitation is not performed m the water. Many a life has been lost after rescue on. account of the rescuers' lack of up-to-date knowledge to attend to the unconscious person. Briefly, the object of the society is to learn drill on land and apply it to the members later m tho water, when they are ] proficient m. the movements, such as , how to release oneself from a drowning '. person if clutched round the neck .or : arms j also how to swim with a strug- ' gling person, and how. to go about re- ! storing the apparently drowned. v - It is , to be hoped there will be a large at- . tendance this evening, and that the formation of a ladietf branch will be ! discussed. , 'Xmaa only six weeks away.
