Then one day it happens and he becomes a statistic in the morning newspaper you glance at quickly while ‘ finishing your cup of coffee. ‘YouAcan save a person’s life in dramatic fashion by Jumplng into a river or lake and hauling him to safety. You may lose your own in the dramatic episode. But there‘s a second way which makes up in effectiveness what it lacks in drama. It’s the act of implanting knowledge and caution into a person’s head to enable him to avoid a, situation requiring heroics from anyone. ' This is the object of Syd Hunt of Richmond Hill and other members of the local branch of the Canadian Power Squadron. What is the Canadian Power Squadron? Mr. Hunt: “It is a. national and international association of boatmen working to promote safety afloat by means of a course on instruction in boating topics.” Sound like pretty dull stuff? It is to the type of person who decides suddenly one day to buy a boat, read some instructions on how to h-ood‘wink an outboard motor into running, and then merrily sets sail. Another Captain Courageous. He’s usually lucky for awhile. Doesn’t bother with life jackets, can’t swim too well, and thinks a buoy is something put especially in the water for him to tie his boat to. ' Mr. Hunt and the squadron are trying to prevent these tragedies through winter courses in boat pilot- ing, seamanship, etc. This is the second year of operation for the squadron in Richmond Hill after developing out of the North York unit. The first year saw 20 persons sign for the courses. That number has jumped to 40 for the present ones which started in September.‘ ‘ Or!!! 17- AV. .1... r..-_.v-.- _.__ “We hold these courses at Richmond Hill High School every Tuesday at 8 pm for about 22 nights,” Mr. Hunt said. “They are taught the equipment necessary for boats in government regulations, rules of the road, seamanship, safety at sea, the use of the marine compass, and aids to navigation and piloting.” Courses for this year are filled due to the response but anyone interested can get a head start by signing up for next year. “yum u”.-- ~., _.._°_____ Some of the hazards of boating as observed by Mr. Hunt during his own regular trips out on the water could have been avoided by simple knowledge and common sense. “There are many things you can do wrong through lack of knowledge,” he said, including go- ing on the wrong side of buoys, forgetting to take the proper equipment with you such as a compass in case a heavy fog sets in, or not checking to see if the bilge is clear of_ gas fumes.” 1 '1 3n - 14. any 511le IV V v- a..- ____-,,, One of Mr. Hunt’s pet peeves, although it is a legitimate one, is the person who uses buoys to tie his boat to. “That is definitely against the law,” he said, “and besides the boat might block the view of your own and you could get into difficulty. From a distance a boat tied to a buoy could look like it was tied to something else on shore.” 1m~ffi1§h£31§o feels a more strict law should be brought in to govern boating habits in an age where more and more persons are going in for the water sport blva u He feels the present law allowing anyone to handle a boat without a “driving” license is pure folly. Al]- “I think the same standards and tests should be required for boaters as for persons who apply for motor vehicle licenses,” he said. ‘ One of the other rather shocking realizations (for a non boater like myself) was the pronounce- ment that consideration is being given forbidding youngsters under nine years of age to pilot a motor- boat. 1 I E UUGL. How about that. Right now anyone capable of pointing a craft, no matter how old, how unin- formed, or how anything, can get behind the wheel and start pointing. _ ‘n ,A ~_‘ ,7 auu avast, [JUL “1 still think a child at nine or 10 years of age,” said Mr. Hunt, “is too young to give mature judg- ment on handling a boat. There are nine year olds who are mature enough, I suppose, but it is still a pretty young age.” So that’s about it. The boating season is just about over but some 40 persons are getting ready for next summer in the best way possible. It would ,:,.1_L L- plcbb‘v _v Uunnb ubv- So that's about it. The boating season is just about over but some 40 persons are getting ready for next summer in the best way possible. It would be stretching the point to say 40 lives might be saved next summer as a result but even oneâ€"as they sayâ€"makes it worthwhile. A 4.

Especially shocking was the thought that anyone gathering in about $20 thou- sand a year could just give it up. J v..- vvu... It’s likely that Carl, who is a well educated per- sonage with intelligence besides, stands to make as much or more money in another profession. But 1ts kind of fun to speculate that maybe there are sqme still left who have standards and persOnal desxres they place before $$$$$$ signs.

H. N. Van Dyke of Richmond Hill Tree Services and Forestry Co.. said that his company had. removed 36 diseased elms from town property during the year, and 20 from school grounds. He said there were approxi- mately 30 left on town property and his company would belre- moving some of those during the winter program. In the last five years. “at least" 100 had been removed. Mr. Van Dyke said there were also numerous private properties with diseased elms. which had not been removed. Aurora is at pres- ent considering the Diseas- ed Tree Act, he said, which, it passed. would allow it to remove all affected elms, both on public and private property. Under Richmond Hill’s tree removal policies, trees that are partly on private and partly on public property, cannot be remov- ed without prior agreement. Shaun Beggs, chairman of the parks board, said the town had not used the new chemical Bidrin this year to help try and curb the disease. The chemical has had considerable success with diseased elms since its in- troduction last year. “We are trying to replace where we can", Mr. Beggs said, “but we haven’t gone into a forestry program yet".
