Page 6, Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, June 1, 1983 Play it safe Drowning is the se- cond leading cause of death among _ child- ren 14 years of age and under. On aver- age, more than 200 children drown each year in Canada. That's why the Canadian Red Cross Society, with 38 years experience in the field of water safety and swimming, continues to .support National Water Safety /Small Craft Safety Week, June 5 to 11. It's our opportun- ity, at the beginning of the summer sea- son, to draw your at- tention to the import- ance of safety. It's our opportunity to urge you and your family to "play it safe" and prevent drownings by learning and _ obser- ving a few, simple safety precautions: 1. Closely supervise children in and around water at all times. 2. Remember that floating objects (tubes, air mattress- es, etc.) are toys. They. are not substi- tutes for learning how to swim. 3. If you own a pool, make sure the gate is locked when the pool is not in use. Ensure that your fencing meets municipal and safety standards, and that your pool is pro- perly equipped with safety equipment. 4. Never swim alone, or in darkness. If at all possible, swim at supervised areas. RANDY'S CONTRACTING Randy Mercure EQUIPMENT RENTALS Loaders, Backhoes, etc., Generators, Pumps, Air Compressor 170 CFM, Rock (Concrete) Drills, 80 Ib.

The Ontario Provincial Police and the Terrace Bay Police Force recently sponsored a visit by the "Convincor". A spokesman said that the purpose of the unit "is to demonstrate the forces produced by a low speed impact of eight mph. Even at this speed a person is thrown forward with considerable force.' "Riding on this sled wearing properly adjusted lap and shoulder belts will show you how seat belts work. You will feel how they distribute the forces of the impact over the strongest parts of the body."' The unit was set up at the Terrace Bay Recreation Centre and at the two elementary schools in Schreiber. Open letter to Lloyd Axworthy Right Honourable Lloyd Axworthy Minister of Employ- ment and Immigra- tion House of Commons Ottawa, Canada K1A OK9 Honourable Bette Stephenson, M.D. Minister of Educa- tion / Colleges and Universities 22nd Floor, Mowat Block 900 Bay Street Toronto, Ontario : M7A 1L2 Dear Mr. Axworthy and Dr. Stephenson, As you know the Canadian Employ- ment and Immigra- tion Commission in conjunction with the Ministry of Colleges and Universities of Ontario announced the withdrawal of sup- port for key skills and trades training pro- grams at Confedera- tion College in North- western Ontario. This affected not only training pro- grams in heavy duty equipment, welder / fitter, marine and small powered equip- ment programs, but also cutter / skidder and stationary engi- neer programs. It has also effected health care pro- grams and in parti- cular, the training programs for Health Care Aides and Or- derlies. | cannot object too strongly to this dras- tic change in direction of funding to Confed- eration College. This reduction has endan- gered not only the very real practical and needed programs at the College, they have also endangered the well being and possib- ly the future of Con- federation College it- self. | fully understand the need to fund high _ EW. (Ted) Paget | B.Sc., B.Ed., LL.B. Barrister & Solicitor SIMCOE PLAZA technology programs, however, | do not feel that this should be done at the expense of traditional programs which in Northwest- ern Ontario will con- tinue to be needed. The effected pro- grams have tradi- tionally had a high success rate in plac- ing graduates from these programs. In spite of the so called statistical evi- dence from the local employment office, it is my strong belief after talking to people connected with the industries involved, that there will be a continued demand for trained personnel in these areas. For the forseeable future Northwestern Ontario will continue RETIREMENT DANCE June 3rd., 1983 SCHREIBER RECREATION COMPLEX from 9:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. Music by "NORTHERN LITES" from Dorion $15.00 per couple $8.00 single Tickets available from R.

The Tuesday morning session will be one where people can talk individually to the consultants and 'ask them any quest- ions."' Asked what he hop- ed the seminar would achieve, Dunwoody said, "My objective is to get the township to have an idea of what economic develop- ment means. | find that there are a lot of people who. think that a new industry, a mine perhaps, means that you are laugh- ing. We have to de- velop something with- in our own commun- ity to handle this. Provided the com- munity is willing."
