It is very easy, in large crowds. for the tiny tots to get separated and get out in to deep water or dart in front of cars. Remember also the safety rules for swimming and use the de- signsted supervised swimming areas wheré lifeguards are on duty. Safety when boating, too, is a MUST for a happy accident free holiday in any of the attractive lakes and Waterways in Ontario. Six haaic rules of better boating have been very aptly summed up by Mr. Ernest Taylor. director, outdoor recreation division. Ontario Safety League. With so many people using the beach areas and swimming opport- unities. park officials are again stress- ing the importance of water safety. Such things as water wings, inner tubes and air mattresses are a very definite hazard and should be left at home. They are particularly dan- gerous for children for, as so often happens, a slight breeze can take the child out into deep water and into difi‘iculties. ,1.

Including the Dominion Holiday weekend the daily vehicle permits issued show an increase of nearly 5000 as compared with the corres- ponding period last year. Seasonal vehicle permits are also up approx- imately 1100 and the increasing in- terest in camping is evidenced by the nearly 6000 campsite permits issued to date â€"â€" up 1800 for the same early season period in 1061. Records are based on six Provincial Parks. pres- entl‘y issuing permits â€" Bass Lake, Devils Glen. Earl Rowe. Sibbald Point, Sixmile Lake and Springwater. OVernight camping is permitted at all these parks with the exception of Springwater which is a day-use area onlyr MASONRY suppues Hard hit by the new regulations which were worked out in co-oner- ation with the Department of High- ways the Yonge Street merchants Were justifiably concerned with an Following strong representa‘ tions from the Yonge Street mer- chants Richmond Hill Town Council has agreed to make two concessions in the newly created Yonze Street traffic set-up.

Know and observe govern- ment regulations and “rules of the road". If you are uncertain Write to any organization dispensing this information. 5. Be sure your boat is proper- ly equip ed â€" government approved life jac ets or cushions for each passenger, paddles or oars, bailing bucket or hand pump, anchor and line, and fire extinguisher. We might also mention the very excellent little booklet “Safety Afloat" issued by the Department of Transport, Ottawa, for the benefit of small boat owners. This booklet covers many items of interest in- cluding the “do’s and dont’s”, “rules of the road”, fire extinguishers, life jackets, and various safety rules. One other contribution the con- servation conscious vacationist can make is safety when travelling along roads and highways. In addition to safe driving habits which most of us well recognize. remember to always use the car ash tray when smoking and be careful not to throw any cigarettes or other smoking mater- ials from the car window. Careless- ness, in this way, may well be the cause of a fire and considerable loss in adjoining forest areas. Remember, too, to watch out for wildlife. Many thousands of animals and game birds are destroyed, annually, by fast moving cars. Often we tend to ease our conscience, after striking a rac- coon, rabbit or woodchuck, by think- ing that it would have been danger- ous to put the brakes on. Often driv- ing more slowly especially in those vacation areas wheregame is plent- ful would give just that little bit of extra time necessary to save a life. Quite often road kills are valuable fur bearers. In one Week alone, last month.

Always operate your boat in a common-sense manner with care and courtesy toward all others on the water. Before town council again agrees to any new traffic regulations in a business area as put forward by the province they should first ascertain how they will effect the general economy of the town. In the present era of high tax- ation every level of government should adopt positive policies that will encourage the free flow of trade and not hinder it. Business should be given every assistance and our people given every opportunity to shop at home. Our local businessmen support the town not only with their taxes but also with their generous support of many worthwhile commu~ nity projects. Shopping money spent in Metro in no way benefits our home town. Reduced or depressed local business conditions mean less taxes from the business community and thus more of the burden of municipal services will have to be borne by the residential taxpayer. adverse effect on business conditions. The prime goal of the department seems to be to rush vehicular traffic through Richmond Hill as quickly as possible. {[1:51ch Sitéuréani/e Mrs. M. E. Drew, Elgin Mills Sideroad W. \«ED U I. n" 10(- single copy 12. 1962 The remaining purposes of Richildaca will be to offer canoe trips to the campers. The best canoes, paddles, packsacks, foods etc. are available to the campers. Qualified, experienced counsellors will be on hand to instruct the would-be trippers, and to lead them on their trips. The only extra expense will be for the food and transportation involved. A graded experience of campcraft has been set up to enable the camper to become a skilled outdoors man through his experience at Richildaca. Cooking, fire-building, tracking, tent-pitching, canoeing, row- ing and water safety are only some of the skills in- volved. Overnights are held for the 8-11 year group. Campcraft according to Mr. Babcock, should be an essential part of the experience of the child. Ponies and horses will be available and qualified instructors will teach the principles of riding. TWO playing fields are planned this summer. One new one will have a regulation playing field for foot- ball and soccer, with a track around the outside. The other will be an outdoor gymnasium which will be equipped with challenging and interesting apparatus. Special emphasis will be given to the area of nature lore. The spring-fed stream, the new pond and the bush and fields all tend to be enjoyable, exciting experiences in nature. Another reason for failure to exhale is that the air may be trapped in the stomach, causing it to in- flate. To remedy this, press firmly on the upper ab. domen. Then immediately try breathing again. Loosen victim’s clothing and cover him with a blankâ€" et. Continue breathing into the victim’s mouth or nose approximately 12 times per minute. Keep up until victim revives or is pronounced dead. If the victim should be a child, place your mouth over both his nose and mouth. Use shallow breaths, about 20 per minute. To dislodge obstructions, hold child upside down or over your arm and slap on back. The four-fold plan that Bill will promote is certainly worth anyone’s attention. The Day Camp itself offers a permanent base for learning and teach- ing the skills of living outdoors. The fees are modest, only eleven dollars per week per camper. Transporta ation is provided. Each camper brings his lunch daily and the camp provides milk. Insurance is also included. Qualified St. John Ambulance trained personnel are on staff. Bill says that swimming in their modern pool is always a pleasure. Red Cross instructors are on duty with qualified life guards. Daily swimming instruc- tion is a must for each camper. This year, there will be emphasis on the creative arts and crafts. The creative arts will offer painting, clay modelling and making things from nature. . Leather craft, woodworking and shellcraft, bot- tle work and photography will be included in a wide range of crafts. . . . He loves me not.” The final one told me where I StOOd. of course. but then it didn’t bother me at all. Now my main interest in daisies is to make them the central part of a wild flower garden I'm trying to encourage. "Our intent is to provide a worthwhile camping experience to the children of the area and to offer this experience at a reasonable rate,” continued Bill Babcock,the director of Camp Richildaca. And to the parents of campers, don't forget the advantages of the Richildaca Weekend Swim and fiports Club. Enjoy the best of two worlds close to 'Ome. Summer. is a busy time. Everywhere there is a hum of life and there is so much to see. Every seasOn seems to have its crop of special flowers. The common white daisy which now inhabits every farm- er’s field brings back hosts of memories. So abundant is this flower that any child could make endless daisy chains without diminishing the species at all. Each daisy head has many small flow- ers. The yellow disc flowers are in the centre of the flower head and the white ray flowers are around the edge of it. How many times, as a child, I have picked sway the petals with this old saying, “He loves me To the parents of the campers. Bill issues a special invitation. Parents may purchase “week-end privilege” tickets which entitles them to the use of the camp on Saturdays and Sundays, during July, August and September. Also, Bill Babcock and family plan to originate “The Richildaca Road Runners” a track and field club for all the youngsters of the district who want to take part in this thrilling sport. If you should suddenly find yourself confronted by a situation like this. Don’t delay . . . begin right away. Move the victim only if his safety requires it. Place him on his back. Begin artificial res- piration as soon as possible and send somebody for medical aid. Every second counts. so don't waste time. Remove all foreign matter from the victim’s mouth and throat This is best done by turning his head to one side. It may be helpful to put your knee under the victim’s shoulder. With one hand lift victim’s neck and use it to pull chin upwards. This helps to open air passages. Open your mouth wide and place it tightly over the victim’s. Use your cheek to block his nostrils. If his mouth is blocked or cannot be opened, breathe through victim’s nose, holding his jaw shut. Blow into victim’s mouth or nose, depending on the method used. After the first breath, turn your head aside and listen for the victim to exhale. Watch for chest movement. Repeat one breath every five seconds. If air doesn’t rush out, the victim’s air passage may be blocked. Turn victim on his side and strike sharply between shoulder blades several times to dislodge foreign object. Clear his mouth again. FIND FUN IN THE SUN AT CAMP RICHILDACA Bill reminds. “Camp is in session from 9.00 am. until 3.30 pm. Monday through Friday for eight weeks, July 2 to August 24. Arrangements will be made for each individual camper concerning bus transportation.” Mouth-to-mouth breathing . . . the popular name for resuscitation . . . has proved to be the most practical method of reviving victims of drowning, asphyxiation and electrical shock. It can be admin- istered easily by anyone for a long period of time Mouth-to-mouth reSCUe breathing is recom- mended by the Red Cross Society. Become familiar with this new life-saving technique. You can never tell when you may be called on to give “the breath of life.” Wamé/ing ~/4I'0LU’1L[ “SWEET BUNCH OF DAISIES" YOU MAY HAVE TO GIVE THE BREATH OF LIFE F We just couldn’t resist combining two headings ‘ from last week’s “Liberal”: Expect Little Increase ; In Student Population â€" Boards May Hire Truant ‘ Officer Trustee Reports.

During the thirties and early forties, the staff had a perma- nent core, Misses Shoebotham, Jones, Shaw, Smith and Izzrard (“Daddy’s ladies” as three-year old Verna Stewart called us, when in return for my efforts at entertainment, she remark- ed “1 like all Daddy‘s ladies-â€" even you”.) Equally gratifying is the fact that our students not only cont- inue to win them, but go on to greater achievement in their undergraduate and post-grad- uate studies. Several of our graduates have recently won fellowships to Harvard. UBC, and Washington State Univers- ity: Bob and Neil Risebrough and David Tinker. However, many of the advant- ages offered students today were instituted in the‘30’s and ‘40's.

With the new era came many changes. The creation of the school area and the migration from Toronto. being the chief, brought in their train many others. The increase in school population led to building at the expense of the lovely maples and landscaping that gave this school a very attractive setting. The inadequacy of the addition soon led to the shift system, to the double shift. and finally to another addition. During this period of adjust- ment, many of the traditional extra-curricular activities Were. of necessity, discontinued. How- ever. there are compensations: the new library with the facil- ities developed by Mr. Clifton (may his shadow never grow iessi) and his library club. the home economics and shop dew partments, the new laboratories and gymnasia, to name only a few. Of these, none has delight- ed me more than the extension of scholarships and bursaries. The great depression, World War II. the post-war boom and the cold war comprise the span 1930-1982.
