As it turned out, EMAC downed their west coast rivals by the narrow margin of 263 to 222. ‘The surprisingly strong Victoria team, a relatively new club, gained 15 individual victories as against EMAC‘s 16, but it was in the reâ€" lays that the Etobicoke natators took over, winning six of the eight finals, and this proved to be the winning margin. Biggest pointâ€"getter for Etobiâ€" coke was Geoff Brown, a tenâ€"yearâ€" old, who won three events, includâ€" ing a fine 37.1 for 50 yards butterâ€" fly. Julie Eastwood, Debbie Wood and Serge Pieters contributed double victories while single wins were scored by Shawn Laari, Deâ€" nise Fitzgerald, Ann Fitugerald, Debbie Knowles, Marlee Abel and Lance Peto. Janet Nash had a tie for first in addition to her strong first place butterfly swim (1:09.4). TORONTO 18 For Victoria, Jim Gollmer was the big gun, winning three events in the 11/12 class including a narâ€" row victory over EMAC‘s Ontario Champion, Tony Capdevila, in the 100â€"yard freestyle (1:00.2). Best swim of the day was by Debbie Wood (EMAC), a 12â€"yearâ€"old, who continues to record outstanding times for the 100 yards backstroke (1:09.1). Next weekend, June 25â€"26, the Etobicoke team travels to Cleveâ€" land to compete in the Ohio State Regional Championships sponsored by the Cleveland Swim Club. IN OUR NEW LOCATIONâ€" 3085 BLOOR ST.

Gus Ryder‘s Lakeshore Swim Club, A few days ago 1 stood blissfully among budding trees in High Park and enjoyed the activity that seemed to give life to the landscape. It was one of those rare days of sunâ€" inclined to become more aware of the little creatures that inhabit this part of the world. \ Strolling casually to a spot about twenty feet from a winding stream, I stopped and let my gaze become Just then, a sudden movement upstream disrupted my state of lethargy and I looked up to see a mallard drake casually floating in my direction. . At brief intervals he‘d stick his head under the murky water and all I‘d be able to see was his tail. He was a busy little fellow, conâ€" centrating on both the surface and streamâ€"bed, obviously in search of Waterfalls didn‘t faze him a bit. He‘d coast right over them. And, small bays were his favorite places for going into the headâ€"downâ€"tailâ€"up manceuvre. So busy was Mr. Drake, I don‘t think he even noticed me until he got down to my part of the stream. Even then he wouldn‘t have. paid much attention to me if I hadn‘t decided to talk duck lanâ€" guage and give forth with a couple of "quacks". My amphibian friend back padâ€" dled, turned, answered my call with a long meaningful "quack" and then headed for shore. Whatever I said to him must have made an impresâ€" sion because he climbed the bank and waddled right over to where I was standing. For the next few minutes a strange conversation took . place|because so many of them between a tall "homo sapien" and|plagued by the ravages of Roval YORK WOODLAND â€" TOPICS 1 | Bev 18 under the direction of Mr. and Mrs. Jim Currie and Mrs. Doyle, gives swimming lessons to some 300 chilâ€" dren every Monday and Thursday igns . . .

No doubt the little guy was doing his best to convey some sort of message. He was serious, too. I could tell because he stared straight at me, first with one eye and then the other, and, at the same time, kept talking loud and clear. This â€" amusing incident lasted about a minute or soâ€"just long enough for my little webâ€"footed friend to realize that he wasn‘t getâ€" ting much sense out of me. Right in the middle of a sentence he turned around, waddled back to the stream, and jumped in. While he floated around the next bend I could hear his disgruntled comments, as he kept yackingâ€" or rather quacking. It sounded something like: "That stupid so and so! He didn‘t know what he was talking about." The foregoing should demonstrate, to some degree, that birds and animals can be amusing and, at least, interesting. I discovered that fact a long time ago, and hope you did, too. If not, I hope you soon will. There were times when I chuckled at the antics of squirrels playing "tag"â€"and my tame crow trying to steal everything shinyâ€"and at the little deer mouse that made a habit of climbing and sliding down the side of my tent. At this time of year most of us like to watch the little creatures of the woods. That is a good thing to do, but we must be careful to watch without molesting. It is the time when animals and birds are attempting to raise their families. "Attempting" is the right word predators as well as children and thoughtless adults. . I remember, with regret, the time when I, a little boy, lifted small birds out of their nests, merely to look at them, thinking it would be all right and all 1 had to do was put them back again. Misfortune was nearly always the result of that thoughtless act. Usually the baby birds wouldn‘t stay in their nests when I put them back, or the parent birds were too frightened and nervous to care for them properly again. _ Don‘t be misled into believing that the young animal you find in the . woods is. abandoned by its mother. Such is not usually the case. Wild animals will hide their young and return frequently to care for them until they are old enough \w care for themselves. On their behalf, the Department of Lands and Forests will no longer issue permits for the purpose of keeping young game animals in capâ€" tivity. â€" Thank goodness! â€" Perhaps in time we‘ll all appreciate the fact that bears are not meant to pace back and forth in small iron cages.
