Don't rush. Move slowly and deliber- ately. 0 Immobilize the swimm- er's head and neck by mak- ing a vise with your fore- arms and hands. Place your forearm along the swimm- er's chest and cup his ohmn along the jawline. Your other arm and hand support.- his back and the base of the skull. This vise-like "sand- wich" will immobilize his spine. If he is face down, gently. roll him over, keep- ing his head imm-obilized and in line with his trunk. 0 Check for breathing.. If necessary begin artificial respiration but without hyperextending the neck: lift his jaw instead to main- tain an airway. 0 Recruit assistanoe and support the swimmer's hips and lower legs at the sur- face. If possible maintain this position until emerg- ency services personnel arrive with a spi neboard. The Royal 'Life Saving Society has published the proceedings of its Aquatic Spinal Injuries Symposium and a brochure outlining what to do in such an em-er- gency.

Under a revision to the Highway Traffic Act, buses will now be permitted to activate their flashing red signal lights and -stop arms while, carrving passengers under the age of 18 for any sports or recreational pur- pose. The HTA stipulates, however, that the vehicle 10 be used as a school bus must be operated by a lic- ensed school bus driver. "Two years ago, we ex- tended the use of safety equipment on school buses to include the transportat- ion of church youth groups," Snow said. "Sinoe the re- action to that move has been positive, we have de- cided that al outings invol- ving transportation of child- ren - from recreational sports tournaments to community group picnics -- should be included in the Act. "We believe this change wilI afford greater protection for voungsters getting on and off schooJ buses being used for most purposes other than those already covered under the HTA."i The HTA previouslv per- mitted school buses to use their signal lights and stop arms while transporting children to and from school or on church excursions, or while carrying mentally re- tarded adults to and from a training centre. The use of these safety devices for any other purpose was prohib- ited and the words "school bus" and "do not pass when signaIs flashing" had to be covered. The revision 10 the*HTA has been supported by re- creationaI groups across the province and has been particularly well-received by day-camp operators who had voiced concerns over the safeîv of children being îransporîed t0 their camps. Drivers will be required 10 observe the same rules that applv to ail school bus- es. They must stop 20 metres behind a stationary school bus or upon meeting il when travelling on the opposite side of a highway not divided by a physical median. Penalties for driv- ers ignoring the safety warnings will -remain the samne: fines of $100 to $500 for a firsi offenoe or $250 10 $1,000 for subsequent off- ences, which also carry the threat of a jail term of up to six months.
