8 THE CITIZEN AT HOME Wednesday July 13 1966 Practice Five Easy Steps Before Swimming Lessons TORONTO CP You can begin learning lo swim at home in a wash basin with four inches of water in it First step is to scoop upwa ter with both hands and rub it all over your face When you are used to this stage then take a breath not too big hold your nose and dip your whole face under water for a few seconds When that has become easy dip your face in water without holding your nose Only before you do you take a breath and start to breathe It out through your nose You dont actually blow it out but be ready to This step is to teach you that you must have air pressure in your nose when your face is under wa ter to keep water out The fourth step is to learn to bubble your breath slowly out through your nose while your face is under water When you can do it easily blow slowly stop then start again Try to blow bubbles out through your nose and mouth at the same time The fifth step is designed to help you learn to open your eyes under water Drop a penny in the basin take a breath put your face in the water and look at the penny Get closer and read the print ing on it All of these stages should also have taught you that the water will not hurt your eyes and that when they are wet you should Just blink them not rub them Teach Slowly The wash basin routine is among techniques used by the Red Cross to take the fear out of the early stages of learning to swim M A McMartln Ontario director of water safety serv services ¬ ices for the Red Cross says I dont believe in this old story of throw them in and theyll swim I think weve driven kids away from the water with that attitude Mr McMartln says the ap proach to swimming should be as slow as the child needs it to be as much fun as pos sible to overcome fears and well supervised In shallow water for safetys sake How fast you go through the early stages will depend on the child Some you should play with have them sit on the beach and watch the other kids Some do have fears which are difficult to over overcome ¬ come If you can get them to f lllilSPRslll multi purpose WINDOWS for building remodeling Pclla Multi Purpose Windows are

palls or water balls anything that has them hav having ¬ ing fun and falling in After all they may be going Into a lake thats sort of dark and they dont know whats under neath there But once they have the de desire ¬ sire to swim any Instructor can teach them Outsider Best Mr McMartln says ho be believes ¬ lieves a qualified outsider can teach swimming better than a parent He has training and ho has authority When hes working with a class he can use buddy and group meth ods and the children may take courage from one an other Mr McMartln says in addi tion to its regular classes the Red Cross does provide in instructors ¬ structors for groups that want one He suggests cottagers associations could hire a qual qualified ¬ ified instructor He adds that a few swim swimming ¬ ming lossons do not make a child an expert Children still need supervision and they should get as much skill as possible I think people have to know how to swim to survive and I think they have to go further than the beginner level Surveys have shown that parents feel that after their children have had a few lessons they can swim with out supervision Every year about 00 children in Ontario die swimming without super supervision ¬ vision I havent the national figure here but Its about three times as high Think how quickly a child can disappear in a supermar supermarket ¬ ket He can do the same thing on the beach And most of the drown drownings ¬ ings happen close to shore If the victims had had any skill they might have survived People dont learn enough They dont develop enough skill for safety Man

Immediate ¬ iate adoption of collective bar bargaining ¬ gaining by nurses might lead to a work stoppage and loss of the strong public support now held by the profession Dr Brian Williams of Edmonton Dr Williams an associate professor of business ad minis tration and commerce at the University of Alberta was ad dressing some 1500 nurses at tending the Canadian Nurses Association annual meeting last week One of the current aims of the association Is to obtain cer tlflcatlon for collective bargain Ing agents on the provincial level To date British Columbia Is the only province with a certi fled body to bargain for its nurses Quebec Ontario and Alberta have bodies to bargain for vari ous groups of nurses in those provinces but have no prov incewide body in the other provinces collec tive or voluntary bargaining has been started in a few hospitals Dr Williams said he was disappointed that the associa tion had not given more con Drinking Is Potentially Dangerous WINNIPEG CP Social pressures start many young people drinking and the wom womens ¬ ens Christian Temperance Un ion is concerned about Its in ability to reach them with a warning says Mrs W S Wat son of Vancouver Mrs Watson field secretary lor tne organization said in an interview the major problem is how to speak in their own language Even educationists are sort of bewildered as how to meet young people at their own level To help overcome this dlffl culty she says the WCTU be lleves In education and Chris tlan responsibility We can not make their de cislon for them but we can show young people that drink ing Is potentially dangerous After all alcohol is a narcotic No one knows for sure he will never be an alcoholic Mrs Watson says she realizes many people drink moderately but there Is a trend toward ex cesslveness She says the prob problem ¬ lem largely results from the breakdown of family life slderatlon to alternatives to col lectlve bargaining Suggests Committees He suggested labor manage ment co operation committees which would represent the hos pital administration and th6 nursing staff The purpose of these committees would bo to work out a voluntary agreement between the employer and the employee Another alternative was a joint educational workshop at the local regional or provincial level to establish a more ai roct dialogue between the hos pital and the nurse A third possibility was get ting pickets and parading before the Parliament Buildings in ot tawa to make your cause known to the public The nurses are seeking higher wages better working condl tlons and a reorganization of existing nursing education sys terns There has to be a certain passage of time before col lee tlve bargaining will work Dr Williams said The hospitals must assess themselves and find funds lie explained that the hospl tals have the power to conclude agreements with nursing staff but that they often do not have the funds to cover concessions granted Funds Restricted In many cases employer ne gotlators are faced with fixed budgets and their sources of funds are largely restricted to city provincial and fedeal grants He said the hospitals lack of funds might lead to a deadlock at the negotiation table which would result In a work stoppage And why call a strike or a work stoppage against a hospl tal that does not have the power to give you what you are de mandlng ho asked He said that many nurses would bo unwilling to strike and that a successful strike had to bo managed by trained people Provincial intervention con dilation and arbitration to break the deadlock might pro duce a settlement which may not be to your liking he told the nurses Idea Said Unworkable In an Interview following Dr Williams speech Evelyn Hood of Vancouver said she does not think the voluntary discussion between the hospitals and the nurses advocated oy the speaker would work No employer Is going to bar gain unless he has to said Miss Hood who Is director of personnel service with the Reg

perennially on the best dressed list Miss Kubal pointed out not only boldly state they continue to wear suits dresses and evening ensembles ten years old but intlmatethafoldfriends are the best friends And this marks the crux of the BE SMART idea Why part with favorite clothes if a little updating will turn them into this years models Add a stole a matching shoe a new shaped handbag a

the cool wet weather inter interfered ¬ fered with your weekend plans for the beach dont despair make like Simon Fraser and go ex exploring ¬ ploring One of the pleasantest days Ive had for a long time occurred Sat irday when boating and fishing n Quesnels Six Mile Lake was nterrupted by a light shower of rain Found the Rod and Gun Clubs launching site an excellent service project Fortunately the rain allowed us to have a finger picnic beside the river with lettucej tomatoes a barbecued chicken and fresh fruit No dishes to wash Afterwards we got into the car and began to drive idly around The first road led up the hill where we finally met not only a large load of logs on a narrow road but also some extra large frost blisters There are untold roads leading off from any centre and most of us know where few of them lead Our second try took us off to the south on the west side of the Fraser River The road though dusty in parts was good It ran along rambling Narcosli Creek part of the time where we found a family enjoying their own private beach and a bit of fishing There was rugged beauty in the hills as we climbed above the creek Other times the road meander meandered ¬ ed through trees which leaned over us in a secluded glade or opened out into farming areas where whole families were en engaged ¬ gaged In haying from mother down to a small son tugging a bale almost as large as himself Perhaps best of all was the silver wolf willow the smell of the fresh hay the heady odor of clover and wild roses Children were picking bouquets of wild tiger lilies and sweet red strawberries and rustic zig zigzagging ¬ zagging pole fences presented pleasing pictures to the eye There was acres of potatoes geese In various sizes large rooting pigs children chasing the cows home lo be milked young friers getting into shape for the pan abandoned mills and burners against the gray sky and lots of quiet Eventually after 37 miles we came to the Macalister ferry which crosses the Fraser be between ¬ tween 7 and 12 noon 1 to 5 pm and 6 to 7 pm The ferry was on the opposite side and a sign warned us to wait at the top of the steep incline until the ferry man beckoned The ferry crossed the swift water the attendant swung It even with the dock secured it and waved us on While we crossed he chatted with us telling us how late high water was on the river this year the water had been rising until noon Saturday some two weeks later than usual He also told us about two chaps from Fort St James who had stopped there They were en route to Vancouver by canoe High water made it necessary to make two or three tries be before ¬ fore the ferry was secured for sur departure then we swung up the hill and onto the blacktop for he trip back to Quesnel Even the radio contributed to ur sense of well being with selections such as Someone to tVatch Over Mo Long Ago and Far Away and Embraceable You As we neared Quesnel we lotlced that all the roads were lamed many of the names Just segglng for further exploration such as Beaver mouth and Gass ift When we returned to Quesnel He found thatitsCentennialCom mlttee had arranged an open air square dance in honor of the arrival of the Barkerville Stage Coach which was there on its way to Victoria There were several squares of children who danced before the Chamber of Commerce Bureau prior to the adult dancing Guest callers were welcomed Besides ourselves several other Prince Georgers turned up some by chance and others by design It made a pleasantly rounded day out of what might have been disaster Girard - Rancourt Vows
