The MAORI DROWNING RATE is TIMES as high as the PAKEHA! 80 accidental drownings in 6 months*The 6 months' period quoted was from November 1, 1953. to April 30, 1954. — and nearly one quarter were Maoris. This makes the Maori rate 4 times as high as the Pakeha. More shocking, over half of the Maoris drowned were under 15 years old. Parents have a responsibility. Anywhere near water children must be looked after, never left to themselves. Rivers are especially dangerous. Care and commonsense is more necessary than ever this summer. RURU THE OWI. SAYS BE WATER WISE Issued by the National Prevent Drowning Commitee on behalf of the Internal Affairs Department.
