To honor vlunteers, an Appreciation Coffee was held during National To quote from the book, "Serious inquiries into drownings tend to indicate that an inebriated person can't swim, no matter what his sober ability. And, more importantly, a confused, scared, cold, tipsy, hypothermic person in dark, murky water, often swims down rather than up." Hypothermia, -of course, Hs that physiological reaction to cold, wet weather, and is a killer of the'f irst rate. If you aren't familiar with this one, better do some reading in a good outdoor first aid manual, or look up one of the numerous magazine articles written on the subject.

If the Coast Guard survival handbook comes down to one piece of preventative advice, it is, "think In most water danger situations, survival will be based on your own reactions. Never assume someone will come along and pull your chestnuts out of the fire. If you are thinking that way, chances are you won't survive an accident. Think ahead, and plan for all possibilities. The U.S.

Coast Guard has established a toll-free number to call for boating information. And, it can be used to call for your copy of the "Handbook of Cold Water It's 800-325-7376 or 7377, and if you are interested in surviving this boating season and have any questions, it's a good number to use. But if you are sure you can handle the summer water sports season without help, better write the number down anyway. It is the number used to report drownings. Dora O.

Would you believe 3,000 letters from niothers who are bathing their babies in the kitchen sink? They are outraged that I said it wasn't "a good idea." Have a heart, girls. What do I know? I had only one baby and that was a lot of years ago.

I'm still not convinced I'm wrong, but I feel obligated to give equal time to the other side. Here's a word from the loyal opposition: Dear Ann Landers: I'm awfully glad I raised my five kids before I read your column telling mothers not to bathe their babies in the kitchen tink. I learned that tripK from my mother and it sure was -a wonderful time and back-saver. The height of the sink was perfect and the kitchen was the warmest room in the house. Mama always put a towel at the bottom of the sink so the baby wouldn't slip.

And the drain board was an ideal place to dry the little one off. Where did you get the goofy idea that a baby might turn on a faucet, Ann? I never heard of one who did. I hope you will print this letter for all those young mamas out there who think your word is law. Experience is a better teacher than the textbook theorist. I'm telling you it works.

Did It My Way Dear Did It: As I said before, I am not totally without experience although a great many women who wrote have had a lot more. Apparently thousands of mothers are doing it your way, so who am I to nix the idea? Dear Ann: I work in a one-man law office just me and my boss. When someone phones and my boss is out of the office, I've been instructed to ask, "What is this in regard to?" so he will know what the call is about before he returns it. You would not believe some of the answers I get for example: "That's OK I'll tell him when he calls," or, "It's personal." Or, "He knows." Most of the time he does NOT know! Also, when a new client calls for an appointment, I'm supposed to ask, "What is this in regard to?" so I'll know how long the appointment will last and the type of information sheet to prepare. I've met with some very stupid responses, such as, "When he sees me, he'll know." Or, "I told him already," or "Never mind." Don't these people reajize that eventually I'll KNOW all about their case or problem since I'm the one who will be working on it? How can I get the message across that I'm not being nosy just following instructions? Le-Gal i Jnost drownings occur 10 feet from v'safety, and actions taken within 10 I -Seconds of water entry usually jnines survival or death." These facts.and a whole book load of pothers were passed along to me by Bill 'Fink, historian at the" Homestead National Monument.

mothers do it By Ann Landers Dear Lee: If they get huffy or obnoxious, simply tell them (as you told me) that you need the information so you can help your boss give them better service. Explain that if he knows in advance what the client wants it will work out to everyone's advantage. CONFIDENTIAL to Don't Look Now But I Think I'm Being Exploited: A woman who' cleans the house, does the laundry and cooking and looks after children is no "baby sitter."

What you're-really trying to do is get rid of unwanted merchandise. So don't put too high a tag the items you want to move. One way to get an idea of going prices your neighborhood is to visit sales your neighbors may be running. A good rule of thumb is to price items below reason-that is, at a level where you'd interested if you were the customer instead the seller. Second-hand items in good repair can be priced 25 to 50 percent below the price of the new equivalent.

HUMMINGBIRDS Hummingbirds can fly backwards. available to the public, and more than iVavailable, is highly recommended "reading from this writer's viewpoint. Don't let the cold water verbage in the title fool you. The Coast Guard defines water as being around 70 degrees a temperature common in -'Nebraska even in the warmest months. They also point out circumstances and -a person's physical makeup can change mean temperature, so it's entirely to have cold water survival situations at even higher water tem-JTperatures.

I Also, the Coast Guard points out that use of alcohol lowers the person's tolerance to cold water temperatures. In r- "fact, their records show that alcohol was Jli i a factor in more than half of the country's 6,500 drownings last year.
