wmv For Too Many Drownings Elite Torrie Examiner Published by Canadin if Newspapers Limited 16 Hayfield Street Barrie Ontario Walls Publisher William Taller General Manager McPherson Managing Editor MONDAY JUN llflPAGBA Occur Could Last week was Red Cross Water Safety Week week which has great signif icance in this area where water plays such major role and where boating and bathing is so general The drowning statistical survey pub lished recently by the Canadian Red Cross shows that drownings in 1966 in creased 14 per cent to 1265 The majority of these casualties were assoc iated with boating activities swimming wading and accidental falls into the water Nearly 28 per cent of the fatal ities involved boating mishaps Drown ings occurring while persons were swim ming or wading increased more than 53 per cent to 273 victims About the same number of persons lost their lives as result of falling into water including falling overboard This includes 36 per sons who fell into walls ditches sloughs tanks and excavations There were increases of 100 per cent or more in the categories covering drowning associated with diving into water attempted rescue nonaquatic vehicle seizure and occupations The age group between 13 and 21 con tinues to record the highest number of fatalities with 293 This represents more than 23 per cent of the total figure While statistics are not complete fig ures show that at least 170 children Be Avoided under 12 years of age drowned beause there were no adults supervising them Lack of adult supervision in the water is like letting fiveyearoid loose with car on superhighway child isnt aware of what hes up against in the water He doesnt know the dangers of broken glass debris and holes on the bottom He doesnt know how to escape from water currents weeds and mud Hes not conditioned to think of safety while hes having fun Parents are sometimes too confident of their childrens abilities and believe they can leave them to take care of themselves in any situation The above statistics prove that this is false con fidence The increase in drownings over 1065 was probably due to the extraordinarily fine weather that most parts of Canada enjoyed in 1086 People took to the water in great numbers and more fre quently too in order to make the most of the good weather This increased the probability of accidental drowning and the figures bear this out in the final results Drowning probably never can be tot ally prevented but they definitely can be reduced substantially if everyone makes an honest effort to become more aware of water safety

advertising in it It cost little more but it was worth every penny of it and some of the best writeru in America wrote for it Realizing that the public do look to newspapers for information to help them shop PM ran an excellent column for consumers such as would have delighted the hearts of consumer associations everywhere It ferreted out bargains pin ointed value and gave yardstick against which to shop It had faithful enchanted following and it failed despite heavy subsidizations to get it on its feet That was in 1930 Today to give the public paper without advertising would cost on conservative estimate 50 center to dollara copy The 10 cents the sub scriber pays for copy of his newspaper covers little more than the circulation and handling costs if that Once it also covered the cost of paper but that day is long since gone Advertising and advertising alone brings the public the news of the community at price that the public can pay And there is more to it than that People

history of its times The ad vertisements are often as much history as the news and historians can often learn as much if not more about the life of period by studying what the people bought how much they paid for it and how advertising was planned to attract their attention FRENCH IN NEW BRUNSWICK Quebec Le Soleil The reaction of the premier of New Brunswick to motion of the leader of the

he presented another motion provid ing for establishment of simultaneous translation system in the legislative as semblyof his province his proposal was adopted unanimously However Mr Robiohaud posed the official recognition of the each lan guage in his province undernhepretext thatalaw to this effect would constitute an injustice towards theEnglish lan Emilia It apears Mr Rohiohaud allowed him self to be overcome by defensive relt flex he took advantage of technical errorin the proposal of the Conserva tive opposrtion leader to try to assure himself of the sympathy of the Angler Saxon majority in this province Itis techrucally true that law recognizing Frencbas the official language in New Brunsunck could constitute an injustice towards the English language Eutit would have been very simple for the intrower to propose an amendment to Van Hornes motion and to have adopted unanimously by the legislative assembly law recognizing both French and English as official languages If Mr Robichaud did not do it it was probably so that Mr Van Horne could not benefit from the credit for having referred totime and time again at youn presented the legisaluon and in the hope convenience

refugees from Hungary boosted the inflow to 232104 We have to go back to the nonderdays before the First World War to find the yearly flow exceeding that in 1966 Those were the days when the men In sheepskin coats were settling and opening our Pral rles In both 1906 and 1007 the flow excemhed 200000 Then came the boom years of stead lly rising immigration between 1910 and 1913 when the annual inflow was respectively 7116039 531208 $75756 andin linoour allvtime record year when welcome and astonishing 400 070 new Canadians singed through our then wide open door Our total population at that time was more 7500000 so the 1913 immigration added more than five per cent to the number of Canadians In con trast 966 immigration which was numerically our eighth largest annual inflow was only one per cent of our present population This comparison in dieates that we could absorb much larger inward flow than we are currently admitting al though we could not without serious inconveniences and some disruption of temporary nature take in an annual flow of 1000000 Immigrants which would be the high 1913 percent spent our population namely five per cent The 00210 workers who came to Canada
