MY FIRST FLIGHT
Recently I experienced my first airplane-
trip. •
My family and friends offered advice,
such as "If you don't get lost in the Toronto
Airport-, flying is a, Cinch."
"Chew gum. It may ease the buzzing in
your ears !Atte- you're in the' itir."
"Take along a feW gravol tablets, in case
you feel nauseous." -
"You'll die a thousand deaths beforithe
take-off." .
"Don't worry about a thing. Statistics
show yote're safer in the air than on the..
road. Did you read about those two planes
that collided last, week?" ,
In spite of these remarks, I felt no
apprehen • sion. I was travelling with
friends who had flown before. Therefore, I
ti was confident we wouldn't wander astray
in the terminal.
While packing my bags, driving to the.
Airport and waiting for our flight's
departure, I remained calm: However, I
expected butterflies to flit through my
stomach sooner or later.
I surprised myself, thoUgh. Nervousness
• ,never entered my mind( although "first
time flier'''''was probabl y etched on •my
face.
- Our DC -9 departed at 9:45 P.M. Thus
thp sensation of the take-off was overcome
by my fascination with the array of 'lights
below. Torontil sparkled like a sequined
afghan. . „
, During the trip, my crackling ears
provided only a slight discomfort. Fyen the,
occasional turbulence, which' we
encountered, didn't' upset me. I. didn't
Just because a child has learned to walk
is no reason to suppose that he, has, good
balance. Adults are good examples of
people with poor balance. No? Try
standing on the toes of one foot with your
eyes closed. These simple stilts will give
the child ' opportunities to perfect and
improve his balance after .he has started
walking.
, Materials':
•
4 - lengths Of 1/4 inch rope (or a
' substitute of equal strength) each
length approximately three feet long
6- blocks of wood, 2 niches X 4 inches X
six inches (pine or spruce)
8 - 2 inch staple or horseshoe nails
wood glue
- - several 3 ,.inch finishing nails
Instructions
1. Take two of the blocks and hake; line
midway along -the side of• each block
2: With the staple nails fasten the lengths
of rope to the blocks. Orie, rope being
fastened at the mid way line on the two'
' sides of each block.
3. The basic stilts are now finished. Let the
child get used to walking with them. To
walk, hold the two cords of the left and
right stilt in the left -attd right hand.
then walk holding the stilt to the bottom
of the foot.
4. As the child progresses add a new Set of
blocks to the stilts by simply gluing then
nailing the two new blocks to the
original set.
Almost every nation in the world has a
national sport. In Canada this sport is
hockey. The natural importance of the
game has led to the formation of
organized leagues'for children as young as
three years. The reason for kiddies hockey
is the common belief that the earlier a child
starts to.play the..game the better he will
'or become. Although this belief has produced
many stars, its actual results force one to
question the systemki
. -
The usual comment made against
organized hockey fhr young children is the
unsportsinanlike .conduct it apparently
produces. It is a well known fact that a
young child imitAtes the , habits of his
heroes and in hockey. the hero is the big
brave rtfy who can -defend his honor at the
drop o astick. Anybody who tries to justify
• the violence in hockey by calling it
roughness are either -blind or fooktg
require the gravol tablets, after all.
Our destination was Thunder Bay. The
red lights illuminating the ski slopes of
Mount McKay were the first landmarks we
spotted., As the jet descended, my friends .
pointed.ont prominent buildings - The City
-Hall, The Department of Transportation
•offices and a lieliday Inn.
Before I realized our flight had 'ended,
th,e plane's wheels touched the ,runway.
My single complaint was that the, trip
seemed short.
I was scheduled to return home in eight
days without my conipanions. On my
secendS flight,. I would travel in the
afternoon, and 1 looked forward to flying
above the clouds in the daylight.
— A-•• sudden ,blizzard-changed my plans..
When I reached the Thunder Bay airport,.
the luggage inspector quipped,. "You're
not going anywhere, lady. Nobody' is."
Thus my vacation fasted another day,
,and I again flew in. darkness.
In. Toronto, I transferred to •a De-9
headed for-London.' Some ,of you ,probably
wouldn't be surprised if I told you that I
landed in London, England, instead of
—London, Ontario.
Confusion didn't overwhelm me. I
returned to Southwestern Ontario in one;
piece and one minute ahead of schedule.
My luggage, however, didn't sutyive the
journey as well as I did. The bottom of my
bag was ripped along both sides, and the •
airline promised to .either repair it or
.'replace it. , • ,..
I• wasn't the lone complainant. Another
girl's suitcase was splitI at the seams; one
couple's bags were misplaced; a lady,
returning 'from Florida, lost a bag of
oranges which she had picked herself.
In spite of some nerve-wrecking advice,
a day's delay •and a Wrecked suitcase, I
enjoyed my,..flight. Now I wonder,wfty I
hesitated taking4hat first venture.
When will I fly again,? As .soon as I can
save enough money!
; •
therriSelves. Any sport which 'permits the ,
actions of thafmoronic hood, Dave Shultz,
is clearly encouraging poor sportsmanship
in the young children who play the game. •
Another and 'greater result 6f the present
systtlp is the lack of participation it
• produces. In Canada, it would be safe, to an
• ,say that sixty. percent *,,,of the• male
population play hockey ,at some tiroe.
during their youth.. Yet• fewer than five
'percent of the male population play the
game. There is no simple single reason for
the drastic drop off in participation., but if
yOu look at hockey through the eyes of a six
or eight year old player, some • ansWers,
soon appear. Before •you can successfully
play the game of hockey a person must
know how to, skate, handle a stick,
Understand the 'rules Of the game and how,
to work together with team mates. Organ-
ized hockey for children does these things
purely by accident. As a rule, during a
weekly game, a child Will get about
five-eight minutes of ice time and since to
the object of the , game is to win, those
children who are•best' at the game will get
the most playing time. The short time that
the child plays the gante is'norenough foe
him to• learn even the basics of the game.
The resulting frustration and seeing that
he is not the best will cause the child to quit
and become a viewer not a player.
It is also highly questionable whether or
not a child of five or six is mentally , socially
or physically capable of playing hockey. If
not. you can add impossibility to the list of
reasons why children stop playing hockey.
Hockey-is one of the world's greatest
sports and can give boys and girls excellent
chances to develop both physically and
Mentally. But instead of emphasizing the
organized t earrt-sgame aspects'of the sport.
much more _time. effort and importance
should be placed on developing the basic
ingredients of the game. Organized.
instruction and training on skating or stick
handling could and_ should begiven to
children before they ever participate in a
game. As far as learning the game itself
this can come later when the -children are
'better able to play it. • ,
The recent contests between Canada and
Russia have clearly demonstrated that its
not strictly the game which is important,
rather it is the physical training and
prietise in the basic skills white!' win
games.
