It is hoped that next year will bring an enlarged program to qualify professional lifeguards in the area. The service was available within a five mile radius of the pickup point, and many seniors took advantage of it to do their shopping, or to visit friends.

The course was a pilot program in that What does the term "lifeguard" mean to you? According to the National Lifeguard Servâ€" ice. a lifeguard is “those persons who, as volun- teers or as paid personnel, undertake to safeguard swimmers at a specific area.” This is accompâ€" lished first by a, total awareness of water safety and its applications and secondly by the know- ledge of and ability to perform the latest in lifesaving techniques. . In the early 1960‘s a number of organizations involved in aquatics recognized the need to estab- lish a standard of training that would be recog- nized across the country as one giving profes- sional status to lifeguards. In response to this need. the National Lifeguard Service was founded in 1964 as a result of the combined efforts of the National Council of the YMCA, the Society Of Directors Of Municipal Recreation Of Ontario. the Canadian Red Cross Water Safety Service and the Royal Lifesaving Society Canada. “The Car You WON'T Have To ' t was free taxi month for senior citizens in the Richmond Hill, Richvale.

Examiner‘Judy Trev- elyan, well known in aquatic circles in Toronto, was impressed with the standards displayed by the candidates but warned them that as profes- sional lifeguards displaying the insignia. of the National Lifeguard Service, they must constantly strive for improvement in techniques and ability in the performance of their duties. Miss Trevelyan pointed out that the National Life~ guard Service certificate is prescntly being studâ€" ied as the only recognized qualification for life- guards at public pools and beaches in Ontario.

He had been gassed at Ypres, had spent a year recup- erating. and dad felt blacksmithing was too hard for him. His was the first dairy in Richmond Hill. and got a firm foundation when the doctor had a bill passed authorizing only pasteurized milk for the village. We watched it grow from a small business, where we helped sterilize the bottles. to a prosperous investment. The shop was the forum of those days. There. politics, local and federal.
