for a two week period.
The children come five
days a week for the two
weeks taking part in the
program this year are
children from Bayfield
and area, Goderich
Township and Blyth and
area.
For the first time,
lessons will be offered to
the children of Vanastra
for a- two week period,
five days per week

August 7 from 11 am to 12
_p.m. (so as not to in-

touch bottom and still
keep his head above
water. The participants
are divided into three
groups of non -swim,
beginner and advanced.
Each participant is
placed in the appropriate
level according to what
he is capable of. At the
conclusion of the lessons,
each individual receives
an evaluation card
stating the particular
level of ability. which he
has achieved. Our staff
consists of qualified
enthusiastic instructors'
Their teaching
qualifications range from
RLSS Bronze Medallion
to Red Cross and RLSS
Water Safety Instructors.
The course content
taught consists of various
stroke skills, stroke
correction, drown -
proofing, water safety,
artificial respiration and
much more. Our
philosophy is that
everyone should be given
the opportunity to learn
safe, enjoyable aquatic
skills. This knowledge
will lead to fun and
security on, in and
around the water.
With this in mind, our
classes are designed to be
a pleasant learning ex-
perience. A minimum of
20 registrations must be
received by July 14 to
make this program
possible. The cost for
these lessons are $9.00
per child ( including
resident 10 per cent
discount). Pay for the
first three children only.
All the other programs.
are at regualr cost, less

Helpful hints
Sharon s corner
If something spills over
in the oven, sprinkle
some salt on the spot and
leave until oven is cool.
The charred spill will lift
right off.
When painting a
ceiling, tie a dry cleaner
plastic hag around
hanging light fixtures to
protect them from drips
and splatters. Clean
pleated lampshades with
an old shaving brush. The
bristles are long enough
to get out dust in the
deepest crevice, yet soft
enough to leave the
material undamaged.
Display children's
artwork on a fishnet hung
on a wall. Use clothespins
to fasten pictures to net.
Strawberry Angel

half, crossways. Spread

and cover with sweetened
whipped cream. Place
second section on top of
this, cover with whipped
cream, and decorate with
a few strawberries.
