Do you think teaching babies how to Scvlift is a fantastic idea? Does the idea of self reliant little children being taught to swim Obituary JOSEPH SMITH Joseph Smith, 82, of 50 Market St., Seaforth, died Sunday morn- ing at the Seaforth Community Hospital, following a period of failing health. He was born in Maidstone, • Kent, England, November 26, 1893, the son of the late George Smith and the former Jan Farrow. On October 6, 1921, he married Roma Diegel, who survives him. Following their marriage, they farmed in McKillop township, retiring to Seaforth in 1964. Mr, Smith was a member of 'St. Peter's Lutheran Church, Brodhagen. Surviving besides his wife are four daughters: Mrs. Ervin (Kathleen) .Schwindt of Mil- verton; Mrs. Rose (Arbutus) MacLean of 296 Huron St., Stratford; Mr's. John (Leona) Oldfield of R. R. 4, Seaforth; Mrs: Ronald' (Donna Mae) Hinz of R. R. 1, Bornholm; one brother George of Watrous, Sask,; one sister, Mrs. Jack (Annie) Snell of Milford, Sask.;'-also surviving are nine grandchildren and one great- granddaughter. The bo dy of the late Mr. Smith rested at the Lockhard Funeral Home, Mitchell, until Tuesday when removal was made to St. Peter's Lutheran Church, Brod- hagen, neral service at ?:30 The Rev, Arthur Horst officiated. ' Interment took place at St. Peter's Cemetery, Brodhagen, before they can walk intrigue you? It interested me too and, without'a lot of thought about it, thought tot swimming was a good idea: That was until 1 read' 0 clipping from Chatelaine magazine, provided by a reader. The Chatelaine article cites warnings from the American Medical - Association and the American Red Cross, among other groups, baby learn to swim classes are dangersou and possibly lethal. Apparently children under the age of three haven't yet developed the muscular control necessary to lift their heads for a second or third breath. While it's true that they may be trained to float and paddle in the water for the duration of one breath, they Want really learn to swim....and, that's ,worse, their proud parents may be lulled into a. false sense of security," the Chatelaine article says. There is at least one parent and tot swim class operating in the area at the Vanastra Recreation Centre, and it wouldn't hurt, our reader thought, and we agreed, to give some publicity to the hazards of trying to teach very little children how to swim. Because infants- Eustachian tubes are short and straight they're four times• more likely H u ronview committee to make video A picture of the activities at Huronview will be available to senior citizens in homes for the aged in other parts of the province, once a program funded by the federal government's New ' Horizons program gets underway. Huronview's New Horizon's committee, under the leadership of Mrs. Betty Scratch, who is also editor 9f the Huronview News, has received a gcant of $3,715. • The committee lans to use the money to make videotapes of the recreational activities at Huron- view and exchange them with other senior citizens homes in Ontario. New Horizons is designed to help retired people to create projects of their own choosing. it offers grants to groups of retired people who will undertake activities for the benefit of themselves and others in their community. than adults to contract ear infections from -contaminated swimming pool water. Unless poll .water is changed every two hours, a not very practical standard, they also risk picking up more serious infections like meningitis and inflamation of the heart muscle. According to a U.S. conference on pre-school swimming there is absolutely no proof that early swim training is of any physical or emotional benefit to babies. But still tot swimming lessons at YWCA's in Canada and the U.S. continue to be very popular. In many cases parents and the people running the programs probably haven't heard about the drawbacks to "learning to swim before you can walk." But parental pride, the same pride that wants little Johnny to be the first baby on his block to start walking, has a lot to do with babies and swimming.When the U.S. YWCA tried to persuade its branches to drop swimming programs for the 'under threes,. The Seaforth Women's institute will hold their annual meeting at the home of Mrs. John MacLean on Tuesday, April 13th at 8:15 p,in. Mrs: GrahamKerr and Mrs. Gordon McKenzie are in eharge of the meetlig. All standing committees are to give and hand in their annual reports. - Roll be the payment 'of fees and 'What has been the most ourstanding., experience in y our life'.

An invitation is ex`tende.d to the members of the Seaforth Horti- cultural Society to attencla special meeting,on April 14 in st. Paul's Anglican' Church Hall, they were beseiged by angry parents, Chatelaine says. A U.S. conference on pre-school swimming concluded that no infant can be made water safe. Their safety depends entirely on parental supervision. We're not trying to be alarmists and advocate that all parents yank their little babies out of a few inches of water at the edge of the lake this summer. But toddler swimming programs are booming ... the Toronto Y said last spring that the classes were among the most popular of all Y programs, with at least a dozen classes a week running. People take their kids to these programs and those who are considering it should know about the evidence that teaching babies to swim may do more harm than good. When parents know that now not everything is hunky dory about infant swimming they can make a better decision about .whether the risks are. worth it for their child.
