When my children were smell, I
remember thinking how
wonderful it would be when they
were grown and able to do for
themselves. Like most young
Mothers who wipe snotty noses
and grubby hands from morning to
night, I dreamed of the day when
my children would be able to take
care of their own needs.
also remember older mothers
telling me, "Someday, you'll find
yourself looking back on these
days when your children were
small and thinking what a great
time it was....free from worries
and much, ranch less
frustrating,"
I pOoh-poohed the idea. After
all, I thought, what could lie worse
than changing dirty diapers and
sopping up spilled milk after
every meal and cutting bubblegum
out of tousled hair,
Well I can tell you what's
worse. It is teaching a 16-year old
son to drive the family
automobile.
A series of heartbreaking
events has brought about this
ordeal. When the oldest child in
our little brood tried to get into
the driver education course at
school, it was filled. He was told
he'd have to wait until the next
course came up in about six
months...and if you've ever had a
teenaged son in your house with a
yen for the open roads, you know
what a laugh that really is.
For a while I thought
circumstances would protect us
from our son's learn-to-drive
mania. The family car was
usually in use and the number of
hours available for in-car
instruction in the family
automobile would be very slim, I
suspected.
• Then fate dealt me a terrible
blow. Husband surprised us all
with a "second car" and my hopes
for one more summer without a
teenaged driver in the household
began to fade.
The final straw came when it
was evident that if there was any
teaching to be done, mother would
have to do it. Not only did father
not have the time to devote to such
BY SHIRLEY .1 KELLER
a project, he didn't have the
patience either. And so, by a
process known as elimination,
Mother became the driving
instructor.
To be perfectly fair, I must tell
you all that my son is a co-
operative student who has a
passion for learning things
well....and correctly. I guess
that's what is really giving me the
grey hairs. I'm beginning to
realize what a truly rotten driver
I am. In fact, all this talk about
retesting the "older drivers" is
giving me the shakes. I can
foresee my son having his licence
while mother's is revoked until
she gets her driving habits into
shape. And I'm the one saddled
with the responsibility of teaching
my son to drive! Ridiculous, isn't
it?
Take the ernergency brake
hassle, for instance. In all the
years I've been driving a car, I've
only used the emergency brake
once or twice. I can remember
one time I pulled the emergency
brake and had to call a mechanic
to get me moving again because
the fool things seized or
something. And one other time, I
remember distinctly getting a
severe tongue-lashing from my
beloved spouse because I burned
out the brake lining when I forgot
to release the emergency brake
before driving the last 30 miles.
So I avoid the emergency brake
like the plague, No sense letting
oneself in for trouble when you get
along perfectly well without the
gadget,
Butthe new driver in the family
informs me that emergency
brakes are one of the important
accessories on today's modern
cars. One should always pull the
emergency brake when one
parks... and one should never
release the emergency brake
until the car is running and ready
for take-off.
The drivers' handbook put out
by the Ontario Department of
Transportation and
Communication is the authority
we go by. I'm just a necessary
fixture in the car as my son
practices the rules, regulations
and tips suggested in his handy,
dandy booklet. I feel like a blob on
the upholstery as the family's
authority on operating techniques
schools himself in the art of
driving.
In short, I've begun to wonder
who's teaching who to drive a
car...and if the whole thing isn't a
plot by the Ontario government to
bring parents up to date on the
traffic regulations of 1972.
But there's one thing I do better
than my son. When the gas gauge
registers empty, my skill at
forking out cash is second to none.
I'm needed.

There's a new type of water ski
available this summer that helps
beginners get started more
easily. The new skis not only help
very young beginners, but will
help more mature people who
have never been able to got up on
skis to enjoy this exhilarating
sport,
The new gadgets are really big
foam floats that have ski-shaped
bottoms. They have enough
flotation to support a skier
standing upright on the water.
This eliminates learning the
tricky technique of coming up out
of the water on ordinary skis, or
being pulled from a start off a
dock. Now, a novice skier can just
stand, hang on to the tow rope, and
have the tow boat start slowly,
Great speed is not needed, in
fact, it's not desirable, until the
new skier gets the feel of being
towed, and how to get some
control of his feet. This control,
and a great degree of confidence,
comes within a very short time
with the floating skis.
It's easy to water ski behind
boats with outboard motors as
small as five horsepower. With
conventional skis, a 15
horsepower motor is necessary.
The buoyant skis will certainly
make teaching water ski-ing to
beginners very much simpler.
Even awkward and non-dexterous
people can enjoy water ski-ing,
The new gadgets are called Ski-
Buoys and are made in
Scarborough. They are a
Canadian invention, The price
starts around $40 and they can be
bought at most sports stores.
They can also be used simply to
walk on water, once one has
mastered this simple mode of
locomotion. And for this purpose,
the idea is not really very new.
The concept of "Jesus" boots,
as they have been vulgarly called
in the past, was first
demonstrated at the Canadian
National Sportsmen's Show 15
years ago. The Royal Navy has
perfected a type that will support
a fully armed man, and allow him
to -walk" on water at about the
same speed he can walk on land.
However, the idea of adapting
the water walking boots to be used
as a tool to teach better water ski-
ing is strictly a Canadian idea.
Naturally it's patented.
Incidentally, the popularity of
water ski-ing will sky rocket this
summer, and not necessarily
because of the Ski-Buoys.
Statistics taken at the major boat
shows this winter and spring show
that more people are buying boats
this year for water ski-ing than
for any other purpose.
At the New York Boat Show,
where they keep the most detailed
statistics, 48.5 per cent of buyers
said they bought for water ski-ing,
44 per cent said for fishing.
The next best reason for buying
a boat was given as "cruising" ---
37,2 per cent.
Figures at the Toronto
International Boat Show., and at
the Montreal and Vancouver
Shows were very similar,
Other statistics gathered at the
boat shows indicate that people
are buying boats and motors -- the
water ski-log sizes. The average
size of outboard motor bought was
36.6 hp -- an increase of 5.6 hp
over last year's average. Boat
size went up'from 14,5 to 15.6 feet
on an average.
It should be the best year ever
for water ski-ing.
