THE POOL. MEANS GREATER. SAFETY '
IN THE NORTH of the county last week-
end, a young man met his death in Lake Huron
when he. suddenly stepped into a deep hole,
which brought the water over his head, . He was
a non -swimmer.
•
Fortunately there are not many cases of .drowning in the
county of Huron. But the loss of one young life, .through the
lack of knowledge of a basic skill such as swimming, means
to us a lack in the general e:ducartaon of aur youth.
We are in a lakeside community. Countless families . in
:Gown and rural areas, • have a summer cottage at the lake,
or they make a regular trip to the cooling shores of Lake
Huron on the weekends; and through the week. It is a pleas-
ant piece to take a dip, but on the majority of beaches" there
is scanty protection from life 'guards, .or other means.
Going in the lake is dangerous for the non -swimmer, since
depths are uncertain, and footing in some case very treaeh-
eraus.:
Let's give our young people a better chance. Let's dig
in, as young Johnnie does and get water in the pool this sum i
mer.
'Training of our young folk - in. supervised surroundings can
mean lives. .
What is a Life worth to you?
DON'T FORGET --THE LIFE SAVER
• JUST. LAST week in the daily press, were
stories, of a drowning fatality involving a young
person. A resuscitator • was needed to try to
save .a life. People, were not aware that such of
machine was close by ;within a few miles of the
occurrence, and so they sent 20 mites for one.
By the time the machine .arrived, it was too
late.
Remember that Clinton owns a resuscitator.
It is in the fire hall at all times, and the firemen
are skilled at using it.
Although the resuscitator is now more than
two years old—it bas never had to be lased• on
an actual victim. But, if such a thing does hap-
pen, and some person is found unconscious, ov-
ercome by smoke, or by water—then don't forget
`SPEED KILLS SLOW
THAT IS the slogan for safety for the com-
ing summer months'.
„ We're entering a holiday period of 60 days
when families are taking the opportunity to
travel. At the same time young children are•
• loosed from the warnings and restrictions of
that Clinton does have a resuscitator, and 'nen
who know how to run it. In case of emergency,e
dial the fire call number—HU 2-3820, and
tell the person who answers your trouble
The machine was' purchased in 1955,
through , the organization of the Clinton and
District Chamber of Commerce, and the financ-
ial assistance of just rout every organization
in the town. It was purchased by the town and
district people, for use in emergency throughout
the area. Don't forget that it is here, and
available for anyone who wishes it.

It is a time of danger for the pedessrian
and for the motorist.
But that danger can be minimized by care-
fulness—by slowing slowing down.
"Speed kills — slow down and live."
FARMING 'HAS ITS OWN ADANTAGES
(The Rural .Scene)
THE ADVANTAGES the city worker has
over the farmer are more apparent than real.
He gets more cash and he gets'it oftener than
the farmer, but he spends it more easily and on
things of less lasting value than a farm.
And, at the end- of his active career, he
seldom has more than a pension to depend on,
while the farmer has a ,prroperty which has,
steadily increased in value through the years.
The money he didn't spend has gone into his
farm and is still his.
In asking so many things of the' government, ,
the farmers are asking to be relieved of the
risks inherent in their business. But, those who,
take the risksalso take the control and the
farmer who gets out from under the risks also
loses control of his business.
Instead of 'asking for parity',ptaces and all
the devices ;and controls that go with them the
farmers should ask for a taxation system that,
would allow them to build up their own reserves
as insurance against the risks they have to run.
To do this they have to take the risks . in-
herent in the business; and make what provision
they can against them.

WHAT IS MEANT BY "COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE").
(Hanover Post)
THE'BELIEF, prevalent in many quarters,
that when an elected body 'goes into -"committee
of the whole" the press is not permitted to print
any of its proceedings has been termed earon-
emus• by no less an authority than Major Alex
C. Lewis, former clerk of the 'Ontario legislature
and one of Canada's outstanding authorities on
parliamentary procedure.
Major 'Lewis, who has written extensively
on the subject, says:
"Committee of the whole is merely a device
whereby nienvbers can be given more freedom of
expression( than is allowed otherwise; such as
when the rules of debate must be applied.
• "When a municipal council goes into com-
mittee for discussion, the mayor, or head of the
• council, must vacate the chair and appoint some
one else to take his seat. There is no rule that
says the proceedings in committee cannot be re-
ported.
"When a Municipal council goes into commit-
tee of the whole the newspaper reporters in at-
tendance May be requested not to report certain
matters, but it is entirely up to the reporter to
accept the suggestien."
Parliamentary discussions in committee of
the whole are fully' regiorted in Mansard, the of-

points out, is "clear evidence there is nothing

SUGAR and SPICE
(By VV. (Bill) B. T. Smiley)
There's nothing quite as much
fun as a family'picnic. The :chil-
dren have a wonderful time, the
parents . get away from the . daily
scramble and a"tsr on the bosom
of Mother N .-We,` and when the
rich, full day is ended,they head
for home, peaceful, tired and hap-
py, each member of the family
feeling warm and secure in • the
love of the others.
• :K * *
That's the theory, anyway..Maye
be, in some families, it even works
that way. But I've been on a pic-
nic as a child', andas a parent, and
they're a pretty rugged business
from either angle, ,the only differ-
ence being that when you're a kid,
you cantake more punishment
without caving in.
There's no doubt about it, 'kids
love picnics. You know why? Be-
cause' it gives them a chance to
push their parents to the brink
of insanity all day, instead of just
at, meal times.
• *.
When I was a kid, we went on
a picnic every Sunday, in the sum-
iner. My mother loved picnics, so
we humoured her. Saturday night,
we let her make the lunch to her
heart's content. How she enjoyed
standing there in the kitchen at
1 a.m., taking the shells off the
hard-boiled, eggs, weeping merrily
over the onion as she chopped it
into the potato salad:
* * *
Right after church on Sunday,
she'd get down to the last hour's
labour—a bushel basket full of
sandwiches, bananas and chocolate
marshmallow cookies, and a two-
gallon thermos jug of lemonade.
We encouraged her by running in
from play every five minutes and
calling an irritation: "Hey, morn,
what's the hold-ep? Are we never
gonna get going? We wante get
in swimming."
* n, *
.My Dad, whose attitude toward
Mature was exactly similar to that
of Nature towarda vacuum, cheer-
ed her efforts by sitting in the car
and honking the horn, while she
scuttled • about looking for s'Wim=
Ming suits, towels, first-aid kit,
wax paper and all the other non-
sense women believe is necessary
to a picnic,
* * *
After three last-minute trips
from the car for the salt, a sweat-
er and the baby's bottle, while Dad
swore under his breath and roared
the motor, she'd settle back in
the front seat of 'the old McLaugh-
lin touring, wipe her streaming
brow, .count us, and gradually as-
sume an expression of triumph
that must have been similar to
that of the Lord on the seventh
day.
* * *
At the picnic spot, we Were'' out
of the car like rats leaving a sink-
ng ship, and streaking for, the
water, before my Dad had the Mot-
or shut off. My Mother would send
a couple of futile heats atter us
then unpack the lunch and the
baby, lay themon a bl'an'ket and
come and join its, lifting her
skirts and wading about gravely..

Lured near him. He loathed pic,
nics, and made no concessions to
nature.. He wouldn't even dress
for outdoors, but wore a busi-
ness suit, collar and tie. He'd just
sit there on his stump, about as
gay as a teetotal, maiden aunt at
a cocktail party.
* * *
Things haven't changed much in
the, thirty years since... The kids
still love a picnic. Tough I must
admit it annoys me when. I'm
making the sandwiches and they
come running in yelping: "Hurry
up, Daddy. Where's my swimming
suit, Daddy? Mummy's wating
in the car, Daddy, and she's get-
ting mad'." •
* *" *
You see, the Old Girl and my
Dad -were cut from the same cloth,
-She looks upon Nature with the
same horror as he -did. A beau-
tiful sunset, for example, moves
her about as much as a good kick
would move the town hall. A pic-
nic to her, is an Ordeal by Water.
When we're going on one, she
spends all morning running to the
window to see if there isn't some
lovely rain falling.
* * *
Last Sunday we shamed her in-
to a picnic. The kids darted in like
Indian scouts every five minutes
to report that another family on
our street had- just left for the
beach.. I made some lunch, and
the tads pulling, me pushing, we
got her into the car.. She had a
thoroughly miserable time, sitting
by the lake in• the car, with the
windows rolled up, peering ner-
vously among the swimmers for
snakes and bears.
* * *
To make her day complete, the
kids found a turtle: Not one of
those cute little fellows about the
size of a dollar watch,- but .a dirty
great snapper, about eight inches
across the shell. Only dynamite
would have separated them from
that beast, which even scared me
a little,, • So we brought it home,
over the vehement protests of the
minority party, and put itin�.. the

out. But apparently he was just
too ninth turtle for her. I came
home at noon and found her lock, -

Retirement Savings Plans Eligible for
INCOME TAX DEDUCTIONS
The Income Tax Act (Canada) was recently
amended to permit individual taxpayers to
deduct from their income, within certain limits,
premiums paid for retirement savings plans in
1957 and later years.
The savings portion of either a new or an:
existing life insurance policy may be quak-
fled as a retirement savings plan. Existing life
insurance policies therefore' need not be sur-
rendered in order to take advantage of this tax
relief.
The possible advantages of the deduction
should in each vase be considered in rela-
tion to the restrictions required by law to be
included ilia savings plan to make it eligible
for the deduction, and in relation to the policy-
holder's WA particuilar tax circumstances.
Policyholders interested in the new deduc-
'tion should consult their life insurance under-
writers or their companies.
