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 10 per cent resident discount The Huron County Library is sponsoring the Vanastra Summer Lending Library at Vanastra Centre this summer on Mondays from 1 30 until 3:30 pm.

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 Split angel food cake in half, crossways. Spread top Of one section with sliced fresh stawherries. and cover with sweetened whipped cream. Place second section on top of this, cover with whipped cream, and decorate with a few strawberries. Serves R.
