The luncheon was preceded by demonstrations by selected chil- dren who, while severely handi- capped, showed that in the water they were able to do many of the things a normal child can do. Peggy Boyer of Whitby, who is unable to use her arms, showed how to dive cleanly in the deep end and swim the full length of the pool using ner feet only for propulsion, On the return jour- ney back up the pool she demon- strated her method of a crawl without hands, but rolling over on her back to come up for air.

OPP Constable Pat Cornell, Bowmanville detachment safety officer, took charge of the event. As each participant arrived, he and Bill Kilpatrick, Kinsman Elmer Safety committee chair- man, made a safety check of each bicycle before the rider en- tered the roadeo. From the safety check, the riders went through the '"'dimin- ishing line test" which is a slow ride between two parallel tapes for a balance test. After the balance test, the chil- dren had a braking ability test, then left and right turns at an intersection, Signalling their turns was the major part of this test, Then came one of the tougher parts of the roadeo, a ride over an obstacle course, This was a number of red painted oil cans spaced a few feet apart to form a weaving line which the riders had to follow. This event was a test of balance combined with steering ability. Then Constable Cornell drilled ' |the children om the Highways Traffic Act, in particular sec- tions dealing with the operation of a bicycle.
