Phys-ed program for retarded ‘youngsters

physical education program has been developed for retarded child. ref as a centennial project by the Canadian Association for Re- tarded Children, ‘

Main prupose of the program Is to -enable retarded children to 4 qualify for centennial athletic aw- ards as normal children do,

Dr. PatrickA ustin, Alberta chairman of the project and a physical education professor at the University of Alberta, said that because retarded children cannot functlon at the same level as other youngsters the sameage, special courses had to be des- lgned for them,

These courses were planned to develop the same type of phy- sleal skills that other children need to pass the tests, but scal- ed down to the ability of the } youngsters involved,

Awards for the children will be the same as those received In regular competition -- rad crests for participation and bronze, silyer or gold awards for reaching increasingly higher jevels of achlevement,

In creating the special program, members of the retarded child: ren’ s centennial athletic program development subcommittee also produced aid booklets which con: taln lesson plans, physical edu cation actlvities and recreation actl vities,

The third phase of the project is the development of recreation activities, such as swimming and skating, which retarded children can enjoy independently,

eraft in the mudflats which lie immediately west of Vancouver airport at low tide. Three peo- ple were Killed in the crash — tke second su¢h incident in re. cent years. The inquiry which followed observed that rescue work was hampered by the in- accessibility of the area from both land and sea, and by the fact that no agency was clearly charged with responsibility for rescue in this no-man's-land,

It wag realized that survivors might well have drowned in the incoming tide, and that a search should be undertaken to find a vehicle which could ne- gotiate the flats, DEMONSTRATION . Meanwhile, up in Vernon, Al- Pine distributors was putting the finishing touches on Can- ada’s first truly - amphibious tractor for the peat operation. President Eldon Seymour and General Manager Jack Pass- more read of the crash inquiry, and offered to demonstrate

their vehicle at the airport.

Despite predictions that the modified Muskeg could never negotiate the treacherous mud- flats, it clambered aver a tri- angle of three-foot logs, skim- med across the mud, and iloat- ed over the water channels with ease, ;

The two organizations exam- ined the special requirements: it must have a large, flat: deck atea to accommodate numerous stretchers in the event of a major crash; it must be able to operate in heavy seas ~~ the hull and deck must be- com- pletely sealed; waterproof hatches would be required for storage of rescue and firefight- ing equipment; a hydraulic winch and mast was a must and the vehicle must be highly maneuverable.
