TO END STRIKE Prayer Not Whisky MRA Suggestion By HAROLD MORRISON Canadian Press Staff Writer OTTAWA (CP) -- A prolonged Mr. Hall, vice-president of the | Brotherhood of Railway Clerks and | chairman of the negotiating com- and heated controversy over Moral | mittee for 17 non-operating rail- Re-Armament raged on the Trades and Labor Congress convention floor Tuesday as Frank Hall, powerful railway union official, de- manded an explanation of execu- tive criticism of the international movement. The criticism, commending the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions for warning free unions to '"'spurn'" any conn- ection with MRA, was contained in an editorial in the July issue of the TLC Journal, the labor body's official magazine. MRA is a move- ment which aims at promoting moral strength through prayer. William Jenoves of Toronto, a TLC vice-president and in charge of convention proceedings at the time the MRA storm developed, said the editorial policy was the responsibility of Percy Bengough, TLC president. Several convention delegates asked where the MRA movement, founded by Frank Buchman, got its funds and described it as an organization "sticking its nose" in lavor-management negotiations. way employees, said he was helped by an MRA adherent during the 1951 railway strike. When things were toughest dur- ing the strike, one friend offered whisky and the MRA acquaintance suggested prayer. Mr. Hall didn't drink the whisky, but he prayed and he observed that the employ- ees "dide't come out so badly" in the strike. A national labor education cam- paign, which may help bring Can- ada's two major labor bodies closer together, was enthusiastic- ally endorsed hi the delegates. They adopt a suggestion by the committee on officers' reports of a study of the possibility of appointing a full-time TLC educa- tion director and of setting up an educational department to expand the work of TLC schools across the country. A TLC week-end school operated recently at Halifax while another, i sponsored both by the TLC and (the Canadian Congress of Labor, Canada's other major laber body, |operated at London, Ont.

Knibb walked to load the bases, Taffy Mayne doubled down the first base line to score both Doc McEwen and Dick and pushed Knibb around to third.

ROBERTSON News Editor PHONE 703 Wadter Safety Program Outlined To Rotarians "In all our years of water safety, we have never lost a boat." Wit these words, Warren Clayton, di- rector of swimming and water safety of the Red Cross Society concluded an address to the Whitby Rotary Club in which he out that the Society s Shier aim in its interest in sw ing was to vent drownings. With the open- of Whitby"s swimming pool, swimming classes are now organ- ized and the Red Cross Society takes no small part in the pro- gram. Mr. Clayton commended town of Whitby on its "get up and go" policy towards the construc- tion of the pool. In many towns, he. said, there was considerable talk about starting a pool and ev- erything else was done but take the shovel and start digging. In Whitby, he noted, the citizens had taken hold and had now opened a very fine pool. + The Red Cross, he said, was very interested in swimming. This was explained, said Mr. Clayton, by reading the Monday morning papers in which the weekend drowning reports were published. On last weekend, he said, some 16 persons lost their lives by drowning. Most of these accidents, E | he said, need not have occurred. Adults appeared to be a lost cause as far as teaching water safety was concerned and for this reason the Red Cross was directing its education towards the children of the country, mainly because they are more susceptible and are eas- trained. ily trai SAVED BY $-YEAR-OLD Mr. Clayton told the story of an Ottawa doctor and his family and their experience with the water safety program. He stated that the eight-year-old son of the doctor had taken the Junior course in swim- ming and water safety and, as a result had been given the tests and awarded the badge. When the boy | had returned home, the lad had told his father of his success and had also asked the water h | which he had bee pointed, the safety questions, the answers to n req to know. The father, after the ques- tioning, found that he did not know the answers to about 90 per cent of the questions. Later, the doctor and his wife were to take a boat- ing trip on the St. Lawrence river. The boat capsized and the {wo were thrown in the chilly water. The doctor's wife, after about 20 minutes in the water, found that she could no longer hold onto the boat and the doctor, remembering the lesson he had learned from his son, quickly moved around to the opposite side of the overturned boat, seized his wife by the wrist, resulting in her being saved. "We feel," said Mr. Clayton, "that any child who knows enough to stay away from danger is not apt to drown." The Red Cross, he said, was prepared to assess the needs of any town and assist in the technical works if necessary. In Whitby, he noted, there was no need to assist in this way since all the facilities had been provided. For the swimming ram, he said, the Red Cross trained indi- viduals without charge so that they could take charge of the classes, later offering any assistance to the classes as may be required. In addition, he said, films on swim- ming and water safety were issued to schools so that children would be safety conscious. Following ten months in schools, said Mr. Clayton, children were not too anxious to take further lessons, even if it were swimming. Because of this, he said, certain goals are established, certain tests are given and badges are present- ed at the end of the courses. These courses, he said, assured that the child would reach a point where he would be safe around water. Adults, he added, were in a dif- ferent category, especially those {who were on the opposite end of a fishing line when a big one took the bait. Then, he said, one would be amazed at the antics of the human animal and the lack of in- telligence displayed. These antics, he said, included walking up and down the boat and even Jumping in the water after the fish. Many adults, he said, had no qualms about any boat sinking until it turned over and then t found that they could not swim to shore. LIFE-JACKETS Mr. Clayton stated that 30 lives could be saved annually in Ontario alone if all the non-swimmers were to wear life-jackets every time they rode in a boat. He pointed to one instance where every male member of one family were drown- ed in a boating accident simply because none of the boat riders wore life-jackets. He told of an- other instance in which five non- swimmers perished in Lake Sim- coe, simply because, besides « er- loading the boat, none wore life- jackets. Concluding, said Mr. Clayton, the purpose of the Red Cross Swim- ming program was to make cer- tain that no one swam in waters other than supervised areas; that no one swam too soon after eat- ing; that no one left a boat to swim ashore, "In all our years of water safety," he said, "we have never lost a boat." Mr. Clayton was thanked by Ro- tarian J. H. Ormiston who asked President F. J. Mcintyre, in his dual capacity as president of the Club and as president of the Whit- by Branch of the Red Cross, to extend thanks to Mr. Clayton. "If one life can be saved by this pro- gram," said Mr. Ormiston, "we will feel that the investment is worthwhile."
