t 12 â€" To the swimmers of Ontario: Nice going, kids! That was a pretty good year of swimming, 1967, and last week meet at Mcâ€" 1967, and last week‘s meet at McMaster was a dandy. I would really have liked to come down to poolside and congratulate you all on your fine efforts but havâ€" ing no official position in the swimming organization, it wouldn‘t be proper, so I‘ll do at this way. Yes, I get a tremenâ€" dous satisfaction watching you swim, improving your times, and behaving like all first class athâ€" letes should. I think you are the finest group of young swimmers that Ontario has ever had. It‘s too bad we don‘t have a nice long course pool in Toronto like McMaster but maybe someday we will. In The Swim For the birds Will all parents, coaches and administrators, please stop readâ€" ing this right nowâ€"this column is for the swimmers. When I see such fine young swimmers as Carolyn Gora (Lakeshore), Greg Vanular (Searboro), Henry Pomer (North York), Cam Brady (TOTAC), Geoff Brown (EMAC), Debbie Crowhurst (USAC), Andrew Beare â€" (Alderwood), Monika Glanert (Leaside)â€"eight differâ€" ent clubs represented in the Toâ€" ronto areaâ€"it i8 reassuring. In a few short yeatrs I hope you are all champions and can repâ€" resent Canada in some big interâ€" national contest like the Olymâ€" "Feed the birds" was the title of a song in the motion picture Mary Poppins, and that‘s exactly what the Metro Toronto and Region Conservation Authority is doing for the winter bird population in a number of its conservation areas. The Authority hbhas laid in about three tons of feed and about 600 pounds of suet and this is being used during the winter months to stock the many feeding stations and suet feeders located throughout the Albion Hills, Black Creek, Boyd, Bruce‘s Mill, Claremont, Cold Creek, Glen Haffy, Greenwood and Heart Lake conservation areas. The Authority is using the following feed mixture recipe: 40% cracked corn, 40% eracked wheat and 20% sunflower seed. This mixture is said to be high in nutritional value, and is enâ€" joyed by all species of birds. Among the species seen in the conservation areas during the winter months are: purple finch, bluejay, pheasant, grosbeak, chickadee, whiteâ€"breasted nutâ€" hatch, woodpecker, juncos, tree sparrows and cardimals. Heat can hit dental fillings Doâ€"itâ€"yourself ear piercing is risky, warns the American Mediâ€" cal Association, increasing the chances of infection and the development of scar tissue. The medical group warns that the small, selfâ€"piercing earring loops now being widely promoted are not considered safe. These devices have sharp points which are supposed to pierce the ears within a few days as they are worn. Infertions reâ€" quiring medical treatment have developed from the use of these devices. Physicians will not pierce ears having any type of rash or inâ€" fection, or if small cysts are present in the lobe. Persons subject to scar overâ€" growth or who have this tendency in the family, or those allergic to nickel or other metals, should not have their ears pierced, the AMA warns. According to one scientific inâ€" vestigator, moderate heat, equal to the temperature of hot foods, hastens shrimnkage in dental fillâ€" ings, because moderate heat eventually causes a reduction in the size of clusters of molecules in dental fillings. If your filling loosens don‘t blame your dentist. It may be due to causes beyond his conâ€" trolâ€"to hot food as a matter of fact. At least that‘s what a recent report from the National Institute of Dental Research suggests. Amalgam, a commonly used dental filling, is an alloy of silver, tin, and mercury. Temâ€" perature causes the alloy to respond in a variety of ways; heat, for instance, causing a deterioration of amalgam which can result in leakage avround tooth fillings. Piercing ears can be painful â€" Thursday, January 4, 1968 pics or British Empire Games Some of you even broke recâ€" ords. Well, don‘t pay too much attention to your ageâ€"group recâ€" ords. They don‘t mean very much. The record you should aim at is the open Canadian record _ or even the world record. Compare your time with that. If you happen to break a record in a race, okay, let them mark it down, but keep in mind what the open record is. That‘s what Geoff Brown of Etobicoke does. Geoff set a new Ontario recâ€" ord of 1:20.5 for the 11/12 boys 100 yards butterfly race at Mcâ€" master but he takes it all in his stride. He is looking ahead four or five years from now when he hopes to break Danny Sherry‘s Canadian record of 58.1 so he figures his 1.20 is pretty slow actually, even though it‘s good for his particular age. You should all think like Geoff. You should all be thankful of the opportunity to compete too. Your parents, your coaches, etc., all pitch in and it‘s a big job to prepare everything so you can race. Sometimes I wonder if you appreciate it.
