SAANICH PENINSULA AND GULF ISLANDS REVIEW

A CHILD LEARNS TO SWI

Mi

78.

Here’s the fifth of ten'lessons.in which your child

learns to swim.

Using Freddie Frog as an example you’ve taught
him to put his face under water and breathe out through
his mouth and nose. Freddie, as you've told him, learned
from his mother and the child knows how easily Freddie
moves through the water. Your child is sure he can be as’.

good aswimmer.

Remind your child he’s seen Freddie swim under
water with his eyes open. First, demonstrate you have no
discomfort with your eyes open under water. To prove it,

you and he can play a game.

Before putting your face into the water, close your
eyes and ask the child to place a small object, unknown to
you, on the bottom of the basin. Now, put your face into
the water, open your eyes to identify the object, raise
your head and tell the child what you saw.

Next, suggest the child do the same: He closes his
eyes, you place a coin on the bottom of the basin and he
tells you what it is after opening his eyes under water. Let
him keep the coin as an extra allowance for the week.
Repeat the game with different coins as long as you can
afford it; he’ll be anxious to play.:

Soon your child will think nothing of breathing out

with eyes open under water.

THE JACK SCOTT COLUMN

One way or another, I suppose,
life is really just a series of waits
~— well, what are you waiting for?
— but this never seems as clear
as when vou travel.

Take air travel, for example,
and welcome to it.

You buy a ticket. on an
aluminum monster that. will
carry you to. where you may. be
going at better than 500 miles an
hour, but first the air line insists
that you sit down for a very long
time and think about it.

There’s no apparent reason
why a passenger shouldn’t get
right on the airplane and go,
except that it just isn't done. |
Afr lines like to have you
around, presumabiv to. give
their waiting rooms that lived-
in look. It can. be a most
depressing experience. Few

. people know how to wait. They
do it badly. Everyone suffers,

A friend of mine was doing his
waiting at Toronto recently; one
day after that tragic crash. It was
a melancholy group, he tells: me,
made even more gloomy — by
repeated delays. So he. rather
“welcomed the cornpany: when a
Catholic priest sat beside him.

“Nice day,’’ said my friend.

There was no. preamble, no
introduction from the priest. He
merely said, ‘‘Son, have you ever

that can go: wrong with. an air-

plane?”

he will lift some object from your

he will look at it for what seems
several minutes. His manner is
that of a man who has come
across a hundred pound cache of

heroin or a-sack-of black widow

spiders. The traveller finds
himself babbling explanations
where none at all are necessary.
Secondly, the official will lower
his huge hands into your bag and
with a quick, professional
gesture, will instantly re-arrange

MacNUTT BID
ON REZONING
TURNED DOWN

The former Saanich garbage
collection and transfer depot
west of Interurban’ Road was
rezoned to residential and far-
ming use. at a public. hearing
before. Saanich. council on
Monday:

Lorne MacNutt, owner of the
property and garbage disposal
contractor in Saanich prior to the
municipal collection. service,
requested zoning for light. in-
dustrial, commercial or
warehouse uses.

On his behalf, J.-E. Gatehouse
mentioned Mr. McNutt’s. more
than 20 years service to: the
municipality, and said that the
service shop, loading em-
bankment and hardtop on. the
property made it entirely un-
suitable for housing or farming.

“With: the proposed rezoning
there is no prospect of income to
the MacNutts. but a change to
light industrial, commerical or
warehouse use would fit into the

general character of ‘the
district,”’ suggested Mr.
Gatehouse.

‘‘I can’t see that it matters.
Either way it will come back to
council -when. a new ‘use. is
proposed,”’ said Alderman Frank
Waring, formally..moving the
rezoning:

“This may be. doing Mr.
MacNutt.a favor by saving him
taxes in the interim,’’. said
Alderman Foster Isherwood,
after Mr. Gatehouse. had

question back to the planners to
avoid. further . rezoning ap:
plications. :
