Bob McKay completed the swim in an hour and four minutes; Bry- an Forsyth was second at an hour and five minutes and Paul Tiffin, third, one hour and eleven minutes. The fourth contestant, Bill Deneau, also completed the two miles. Art Furness, master -of -cer- emonies for the evening, wel- comed those present and intro- duced the members of the staff who have done such an excel- lent job in instructing swim- mers and supervising the pool during the summer. They are Hugh Sinnamon, senior super- visor; Bill Deneau, Marilyn Ri- ley, Jane Cruikshank, Pat Hotchkiss, Dianne Grove, Wen- dy Fuller and Bryan Forsyth. DEMONSTRA TIONS Bryan Forsyth was the com- mentator for a rescue demon- stration. John Schipper and Mary Austin showed the pole assist and arm rescue. Nancy Sell and John Deneau made a towel rescue and a flutterboard assist. Heaving line and ring demonstrations were made by Linda Lockridge and Bob Mc- Kay. Edith Austin swam out to her victim, Sharon Willie, to make a rescue by towing her with a towel. The scissors kick was used and the rescuer talked to the girl being rescued while towing her in, to give her confidence. Sharon then saved Edith with a heave line, Bob McKay and Mark Fisher showed a rescue by swimming to the victim with a flutterboard and using it as a tow. Bill Deneau, who has been in charge of boat and pool safety, was MC as Bob McKay, Mark Fisher, John Deneau and John Schipper overloaded a boat, and in general disregard- ed all rules for safe boating which could lead to disaster. They followed through with a demonstration of the dangers of fooling around th;r clock or wharf and improper use of the diving board. Hugh Sinnamon explained the numerous swimming strokes that are taught at the various levels, and their purposes. Lin- da Lockridge and Marg Mc- Laughlin did the front crawl; Marilyn Tiffin and Nancy Seli, breast stroke; Linda Lockridge and Sandra 'Tiffin, back crawl; Marilyn Tiffin and Nancy Seli, the resting breast stroke; John Schipper and Barbara Feagan, side stroke; elementary back stroke, John Deneau and Mark Fisher; butterfly, Bob McKay aad Mark Fisher, Drownproof- ing, a skill taught here for the first time this year, was de- monstrated by Sharon Willie and Mary Austin. This method is extremely relaxing and could be used to work your way to shore after falling from a boat. Drown proofing can be taught at any level. Bill Deneau introduced those taking part in the synchronized swim, always a highlight of the show. The swimmers were Sharon Willie, Linda Seddon, Bonnie Willie, Edith Austin, Mary Austin, Nancy Seli, Marg McLaughlin, Linda Lockridge, Sandra and Marilyn Tiffin. It was unfortunate that darkness fell before this part of the pro- gram took place as many of the spectators were unable to see the graceful movements of the swimmers in the water. Both the Sylvester method and mouth-to-mouth resuscita- tion were demonstrated by Bob McKay and Edith Austin with Mark Fisher as their victim, and Marilyn Tiffin and Linda Lockridge with Sandra Tiffin as the victim. Extra entertainment was provided by John Deneau and John Schipper, who from a monkey cage with only their heads showing, challenged marksmen to hit them withwa- ter-filled plastic bags. The park had been decoratr Wingham Advance -Times, Thursday, Sept, 10, 1964 - P; '7 Water Ski Show (Continued from Page One) which short, 12 -inch skis were used. A trio of skiers from Blyth, Bill Neilson, Bob Laurie and Don Scrimgeour, who are self-taught, put on a creditable display of jumping, going over the ramp singly, in pairs and then all three together, CLEVER CLOWN Steve Corrie proved highly amusing when he hit the water aboard a 4 -foot disc of plywood, dressed in a clown's regalia. His act required considerable skill for there was no harness on the board for his feet. He climaxed his act by standing on his head on the disc while in motion behind the tow -boat, One of the most graceful of the acts was titled "Grace in At theHaspital Admitted to hospital during the week: Belgrave 1; Blyth 1; Brussels 1; Lucknow 8; Wing - ham 9; Ashfield Twp, 2; Culross Twp, 5; Grey Twp, 2; Howick Twp. 1; Morris twp. 1; Wallace Twp. 1; E. Wawa - nosh Twp. 1; W. Wawanosh Twp. 1; total 34. ed with an arch at the entrance to the bath house, and tables displaying the water safety awards and work done by the children during crafts periods at the summer playground. Dianne Grove and Wendy Fuller were in charge of the playground pro- gram. The only hitch in the well- planned program was when the bullrushes on the theme float did not light. The float de- picted a fountain which would have been lighted by the blaz- ing cattails and offered back- ground lighting for the syn- chronized swim if all had gone as planned. THIS HORSE was in the parade on Saturday afternoon and drew a good applause from the crowd. The names of the front and hind quarters are unknown but they did a fine job.—A-T Photo. Motion". Skiers Bob Deyell and Dave Cameron took to the skis with Sandra Seddon and Bonnie Willie on their shoulders, The girls assumed several graceful poses in their precar- ious positions as the two skiers were towed around the pond. John Lillycrop of Hamilton, formerly of Wingham appeared from the depths in the centre of the waterway after swim- ming out under water in a scu- ba diving outfit. He was one of the divers responsible foror- ganizing a scuba association here. Bob Deyell, Brian Metcalfe and Dave Cameron put on a most interesting disJ:'ay of trick jumping during which one skier would make the jump while another crossed beneath him at water level. Dave Cameron crowned the act with a "heli- copter", in which he took off from the peak of the ramp and performed a 180 degree turn in mid-air before landing smooth- ly on the water, This feat was performed as Bob Deyell cross- ed beneath him. "Ballet on Water" was a family act, the skiers being Sharon Willie, 13, Bonnie Wil- lie, 12 and Marion Willie, 11. Their father, Mike Willie, drove the tow -boat and their brother, Don, was pick-up man. The girls presented a beautifully co-ordinated dis- play, criss-crossing back and forth behind the boat at full speed. On their final run they offered the skiers' salute, go- ing past the packed crowd with one leg held high and the ski vertical above the water. There was a change in pace when Elwood Epps of Clinton drove into the water in a tiny yellow machine that was com- pletely amphibious. The "Penguin" attained a speed of 4 miles an hour on the water, but when it crawled out on the far side of the pond it whipped around the rough terrain with- out regard for bumps and hol- lows. In the meantime, Bud Cruickshank was touring around both ashore and afloat in his amphibious car. Seven-year-old Pat Willie circled the pond on surfboard behind her father's boat, an indication that at least one more Willie is on her way to the ski circuit. The three Blyth skiers added Dave Warwick of that town and Harold Jardin of Wingham for a first-class display of wa- ter acrobatics. Three of the boys were on skis and the other two mounted to their shoulders for a ski -borne pyramid, re- quiring a nicety of balance and skill. The final performance brought Bob Deyell, Dave Cam- eron and Brian Metcalf back in- to the limelight, but this time they were decked out as the Beatles and their antics provid- ed a mirth -filled conclusion for an altogether interesting after- noon. Ruth Ann Currie made the draw to determine winners of the two prizes on which tickets had been sold in advance. Mrs. Monty Bennett was the winner of 150.Ihs, of dressed pork arid Jack llenderson won the 25 cash 'award. SAVE HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS We have two 1964 Studebaker Daytona Demonstrators for sale.
