Clinton, Ontario,
Dear Sirs:
XII almost every edition of your
paper, since the swimming pool
opened, there has been an item
about how wonderful the pool is,
in fact the best thing that has
ever happened to Clinton,
We agree, it is a wonderful ad-
dition to Clinton, for both young
and old, but just as in any other

disappointing to the mothers and
especially the children, was after
they had finally, learned to float
and swim a little piece, thanks to
mothers' help, they were told to
come back last Tuesday morning
for their test, So we fly around
to get our morning work done up,
gather up a carload of children,
drive to the pool, and then they
are told the swimming lessons
are all over for the year, and
they don't get their test, Does
this seem fair?
They should make up their
minds whether these learn to
swim classes are going to have a
test or 'not, but not wait until
they are already at the pool ready
to try their test. You should
have seen the sad. disappointed
looks on about 12 to 15 children
that morning. It makes them
feel as if they had been taking
lessons for nothing.
We hope these few criticisms
will be carefully read and discus-
sed, and that next year when the
pool re-opens for lessons, that
they will think about these com-
ments and will make some altera-
tions on the learn to swim class.
Thanks for hearing us out and
the best of luck in the future.

Plums are coming along now, and
you can make really delicious jam
from them, using the basic recipe
below,
PLUM JAM
41/2 cups prepared fruit
(about 2 qts. ripe plums)
7 1/2 cups (3.1/4 lbs.) sugar
7/2 bottle Certo fruit pectin
First, you prepare the fruit. Pit
(do not peel) about 2 quarts fully
ripe plums. Cut in small pieces
and chop. Add 1/2 cup water;
bring to a boil and simmer, cover-
ed, 5 minutes. Measure 41/2 cups
into a very large saucepan, (Sour
clingstone plums give the best
color and flavor. If sweet plums or
freestone prune plums are used,
substitute 1/2 cup lemon juice
for 1/2 cup of the prepared fruit,)
Now, make your jam. Add sugar
to fruit in saucepan. Mix well.
Place over high heat, bring to a
full rolling boil, and boil hard 1
minute, stirring constantly. Re-
move from heat; stir in .Certo at
once. Skim off foam with metal
spoon. Then stir and skim for 5
minutes to cool slightly, to pre-
vent floating fruit. Ladle into
glasses. Cover at once with Vs
inch hot paraffin. Makes about 11
medium glasses.

A visit to grandma in a far
away place is joyously anticipat-
ed by the 'children, but is often a
paralysing thought to the mother
of the brood. It shouldn't be so,
for train travel nowadays is
especially planned for entire fam-
ilies by the railways. Yet the
journey is only as successful as
the thought that goes into it be-
fore it begins.
First of all, pack the things
that will make it easy to keep
the children occupied. Choose • a
small kit bag that one of the
children can easily tote and in it
place "surprises". Wrap them in
brown paper and mark them
"First Morning — "First After-
noon"--"First Evening" — and so
on for each day of travel. Using
some intuition and imagination,
choose card games, coloring cards,
puzzles, etc., which the children
have not seen before, from the
five and dime stores.
When the children become bor-
ed with this type of play, encour-
age them to take part in com-
petitive games. Choose the ones
that take some mental agility
such as "numbers" or a spelling.
bee. There is another favorite
game older children enjoy, that is
Counting the telephone poles to
reckon how fast the train is
travelling. The smaller tots could
count red cows in the pastures
beside the tracks. Put on a time
limit for .games of this kind and
have a small prize for the winner.
Children should not be allowed
to eat constantly between meals.
This may keep them quiet for a
while, but it builds up trouble for
the future. Constant motion and
sweets can spoil a journey for the
whole family when not wisely
combined.
If there is a baby in the family,
take along his folding car seat.
This can be hung on the back' of
the section seat and will lift the
tot to window level. There are
small, folding toilet seats which
can be purchased for very little
and pack flat. taking up very
little room. These are a great
help in maintaining daily health
habits of the youngsters,
Clothing is the next most im-
portant thing to consider, Pas-
senger trains are kept at a com-
fortable temperature both sum-
mer and winter, Dark, loose-
fitting slacks and jersies make
ideal travel costumes for both
boys and girls. Doll them up for
grandma, if you Wish, just before
the train arrives, but both mother
and children will enjoy the trip
to the fullest if they are not con-
stantly worried about soiling a
"best" outfit,
Porters and dining car waiters
are most cooperative in the mat-
ter of warming baby's formula
and the steward will be glad to
make suggestions for the child-
ren's meals. Plan to take the
older children into the diner when
the baby is asleep. The porter
will keep an eye on the infant
and call the mother if necessary.
If this routine does not fit in
with the baby's slumber periods,
then take the children into the
diner, tell the steward what they
would like and when they are
finished he will see they are re-
turned safely to your car. Later
it will be possible to leave the
infant in charge of an older child
while mother has her meal in
peace.
Children should be encouraged
to nap in the afternoon and retire
early. Excitement, which is a
natural companion of children on
any journey, is fatiguing and can
affect tempers.
Little ones should not be allow-
ed to run the aisles. This is har-
assing both for parents and other
passengers. They should, however,
if they are old enough, be shown
where the dressing rooms are and
how to use the equipment.
Travelling with children need
not be a frightening chore. It
can be more pleasurable for the
whole family, if • the children's
thinking is conditioned ahead of
time to the fact that train travel
will be more confining. but more
fun than playing in their own
backyard.

business, there is always room
for improvement.
First of all. the method of
struction for the learn to swim
class could stand much improve-
ment,
As we sent our children for
lessons, the mothers often watch-
ed to see how they were doing,
Much_to our surprise, the instruc-
tors were standing on the cement
walk, trying, very much in vain,
to teach them the art of swim-
ming. They might as well have
told them to go jump in the deep
end and swim.
I wonder if these same instruc-
tors went to the farm and were
told to harness a horse or even
milk a cow and separate that milk
into cream, if they wouldn't like
to be shown how to do it, and
not just told to do it.
Little children are afraid of
water that much deeper than
their waist, therefore these
teachers should have been down
in the water with them, giving
some individual help and confi-
dence when needed.
Some children are brave and
daring and will try anything they
are told, others are timid and
afraid, these are the ones that
need help.
