# y / " Centennial Report fat ) 1867 U 196 Time flies fast during sum- mer holidays and it won't be long before it's back to school on September 6. school year takes us right into Canada's Centennial celebrations and there will be some special news this fall for the five and a half million children and teen- agers attending schools through- out the country. School posters and classroom posters will announce the news in September that all public and high school students from six to 18 years of age will be invited to participate in'the Centennial Athletic Awards program, There will be 8 "compulsory" events: one minute speed sit-up, a 300 yard run, and a standing broad jump. Participants in. the awards program will choose one additional event out of three "optionals": swimming, skating or cross-country run, The Centennial Commission, with the Centennial planners of | the provinces, decided on this Centennial Athletic PROGRAMME d'othléetisme |duCentendire The 'coming. by JOHN W. FISHER CENTENNIAL COMMISSIONER. broad program for schools so that all children in the country would have the opportunity to take an active part in the Cen. tennial. (A separate program along the same lines has been approved for those attending schools for the 'retarded child- ren.) The standards for every age, six to 18, by which participants will be judged in the compul- sory events are those developed by the Canadian Association for Health Physical Education and Recreation (CAHPER), In the optional events the swimming standards also are those of Canadian Amateur Swimming Association. For skating, the Canadian Amateur Speed Skating Association will be used. No Canadian stand- ards for a cross country run have ever been developed be- fore so the Centennial Commis- sion has tested groups of school children of various ages in the i special ones for the 1967 pro- gram, a, 3 The department of education in each province will be send- ing out teachers' manuals to schools for the beginning of fall term. Teachers -also will re- ceive class record sheets and each student will receive a | wallet size card so that he can keep his score during the Cen- tennial athletic events which may be run off between Sept. 6, 1966 and December 31, 1967, Gold ,silver and bronze Cen- tennial crests for achievement Ottawa area and has set up will go to outstanding athletes |& 1in the awards program. If a|* FTORRR TERFS SSRIS EVN OLS LE student does not achieve stand- ards in athletic events to merit a gold, silver or bronze award he will receive a red crest (shown below) for participation and at least a passing mark in all events, The Commission and the pro- vinces, in planning the Centen- nial Athletic Awards Program, selected events that would re- quire no special athletic equip- ment and that would. be suitable for maximum participation, All administration will be handled through the provincial depart ments of education. Teachers will conduct the compulsory events but a teacher may dele- gate anyone to conduct optional events. The planning of he program has been done with sports direc- tors of the provinces and ter- ritories and various Canadian sports organizations and with the approval of all provinces and territories plus the Depart- ment of Indian Affairs, the De- partment of National Defence responsible for Canadian schools overseas), and the Department of Northern Affairs (which ad- ministers schools- in the terri- tories and Arctic islands.) So there is something special to look forward to, on and after September 6. I have been say- ing all along that everybody can take part in the Centennial cele- brations and the athletic awards program is just- one of the many opportunities for school children to be involved in Cana- da's birthday party. * LJ LJ Most forest fires CAN be prevented . . . . by YOU.

Canad; over 275 million dollars for new construc- tion and equipment every year to meet ever-grow- ing needs for communications -- and this annual expenditure-is likely to grow in the future. And the second reason why this is remarkable is that practically everything, from simple gear to the most advanced electronic switching and trans- _ mission equipment is manufactured in Canada and can be bought here! That means, it must be as good or better; in price and quality, as anything we could import. We must admit -- we and Northern Electric, our manufacturing subsidiary, helped lots of small companies to set up production facilities so that we could get things here rather than have to import them. But the big thing is that it's now being done, and that we're working on getting the remaining small percentage made here, too. Encouraging Canadian Production -- one of the ways in which Bell contributes to our economy.
