Children swimming in the pool are taking part in the special learn-to-swim sum- mer courses held in the pool every summer, The view from the top of the tower takes in the entire town, with Oshawa looming in the east, Ajax on the west, the lake to the south, and the farms and the community of Brooklin to the north. --Oshawa Times Photo Tadpole-Types Learn Swim-Pool Safety More than 600 children of all ages will end the summer well versed in the practices of water safety, thanks to the Learn to Swim program at the Com-| munity swimming pool in Kins-/ men Park. Children come in classes to the pool from 9 a.m. till 2 p.m. every week-day and the names of Tadpole, Shark, or some other aquatic animal. | The Tadpoles are made up mainly of 6-year-olds, and are) instructed in the basic arts of| swimming. | When the Tadpole hatches and} passes his Tadpole efficiency| tests he is advanced to the) shark stage and begins a new! series of instructions. The first three stages of the tests take four weeks each. The advanceq beginner, through royal lifesaving courses, take seven weeks each. To graduate to the highest course offered at the pool, the Royal Lifesaver award, the average student must complete his seven to nine summers of in- struction. Students are taught not only to} swim, but also to assume a posi-| tive mental attitude towards safety in the water. The more advanced courses offer life saving and the tech- niques of artificial respiration. A canoe is employed to in- struct students on what to do in assume] |stalls, showers and basket lock- Davidson, is in his second year at that post and he also doubles as a life-guard and swimming instructor. The Memorial Park Pool was built in 1951 with funds raised by the local Kinsmen Club and has been a service to the com- munity ever since. A locker room with changing ers is provided for the young swimmers. The 75 by 40 foot pool varies in depth from eight and one-half feet to three feet for the small fry in the shallow end, A one metre diving board is available to the more advanced swimmer, and the pre-Tadpole types can paddle in a shallow wading pool. The children are under con- stant supervision by at least one life guard and, when the num- bers using the pool increase, more. watching eyes are em- ployed. A modern filtering . process cleans the water every five hours and dispenses with the need of time consuming empty- ing and refilling. The income from the pool is small and is put towards main- tenance and salaries of the staff. A representative of the Re Cross conducts the tests on the swimmers and badges which can be worn on the swim suit are awarded to the successful the event of a spill from a mov- ing boat. Manager of the pool, Davei park have been improved and candidates, Facilities of the surrounding children are making good use of the swings and other equipment provided Dave: Millar is planning a swim meet for this Saturday in which teams from Whitby, Osh- awa and Ajax will compete. Another meet is planned for the eng of the month and he is pushing his various groups for a Whitby win. The pool is well used by local students and the work being done by this group of teenagers could well save a life in future years. Boy 3, Dies Of Injuries LONDON, Ont.

Oshawa Times Photo }garet Humphrey, WHITBY PERSONALS By BRIAN McCALL Whitby's downtown traders are soon to be faced with a king-size decision -- whether or not they go ahead with the ambitious "face-lift" scheme so eagerly sponsored by the town Chamber of Commerce. ; This decision should be made at a meeting to be called later this month. But in the mean- time traders would do well to take a last, long: look at the downtown shopping centre. Of late it has assumed a rath- er sombre aspect. In the last few months five traders have closed their doors for the last time and 'either packed it in all together or moved to new situations. A sixth business will soon be added to the list. And few neo- ple seem eager to snap. up the vacant premises. They lie as they were left -- shorn of their trimmings, dull and untidy, Perhaps this is a pointer of things to come. Perhaps it is only' a temporary slump. Either way both traders end Chamber of Commerce should take no- \tice -- take notice and take jaction too. Someting has to. be. done to /brighten up the downtown shep- |ping world, And downtown re- ijnewal 'will help enormously to jimprove the aspect. With this in mind jcheck was made of most of the jdowntown shops. The results jwere not too exciting.

Many of the downtown win- dow displays are meagre, poor- ly Jit and in some cases covered with a thin film of dust. Awnings of the worn out vari- ety hang low to the sidewalks and in some cases provide an eyesore match with the next door awning, Many of the vacant stores and also the occupied ones need 'a coat of paint and some of the colors chosen make the four-corners area look like an entrance to a circus fairground. Several miles to the east, a lange modern complex of shin- ing stores opens its doors to the public six days a week. Many of the Whitby residents who could be spending dollars in Whitby but are dissuaded by some of the dimly lit caves that pass as stores, are shop- ping at the Centre. A cross section of Whitby store and business proprietors showed that the vast majority were in favor of a face-lifting job. Many 'of those interviewed stated they were in favor but did not own their business prop- erties but rented them from another person who would have lto be convinced as to the good spot}sense in repainting and fixing] | jup.

Mrs: Lu Harris of Hicks Jewellery summed up the feel- ings of many of the merchants who, _ through pide and straight- forward good business sense, have spruced up their estab- lishments by saying: "We are just a rose among thorns, and customers are scared away from our shop by the mess and litter that many others adver- \tise. | John Pantony, president |of the Chamber of Commerce, jsaid: 'People owe no loyalty |to any store. "They can get around and the store that has the best dis- play, in the best surroundings will get the business.
