(3) 4 new oversizse Airâ€"Cleaner, of the Oilâ€" GENERAL MOTORS PRODUCTS OB CANADA LIMITED, â€"OSHAWA .. : This is probably the world‘s worst way to teach swimming. For every one who learns, many will become so frightened that they will never learn to swim. Never duck or splash a person un tss you KNOW they won‘t mind. This may cause distress, panic or lifeâ€"long fear of water. Never enter water directly after a meal. Allow an hour and a half to two hours before entering. Failure to reâ€" member this may cause cramp. In case of cramp, turn on back, float, rub or stretch affected part. The pain is generally ‘very great but can be borne. Enicring water when overheated may cause cramp or even heartâ€"failure; this too should be avoiderd. Listing a fow cautionary remarks may be a benefit to many. Water, like fire, may be quoted as a gooxd servant but a poor master. "My brother threw me into deep water and left me to fight my way out. That‘s the way I learned to swim." A little water thrown over the body before entering water, lessens groatly the shock on the nerves. Immeise the whole body immediately on enterâ€" ing water. Don‘t go in swimming alone. You may get into difficulties and have no help at hand. When swimming do not remain im waiter until exhaustion point is reachâ€" ed. When you feel tired, get out and take a rest. Too much water at once is quite weakening. Inflated automobile tires and sther artificial aids to swimming are not ai!â€" ways safe. Don‘t trust them too far. Remember that the ability to swim is the ‘best life preserver ever invented. Don‘t dive in strange waters. Make sure it is deep enough and clear of sjubmerged rocks, weeds or stumps. Mak» sure, when diving in a pool that no swimmer is in the way. Beware of currents, undertow, holes. weeds or obstructions. Even good swimmers have in some of these. Always abide by the rules of a pool Bath type, not only filters the carbur. etor air in the regular way but also deflects it against a bath of oil where grinding, abrasive dirt and grit are effectively removed, prolonging enâ€" gine life and increasing fuel economy.

Boats and canoes can be dangerous but if upsct, an oar or paddle held flat to the water‘s surface makes a subslitute preserver. Comments by Parents Mr. Fisher gives the following comâ€" ments made by parents in regard to the plan outlined by Mr. Fisher for supervised swimming facilities:â€" "All children ought to learn to swim. I think. This is a worthy cause and I shall gladly coâ€"operate with you in this."
