E000 C It‘s the annual Metropolitan Toronto Firefighter‘s swimming show which features water safety, underwater . demonstrations, artiâ€" ficial respiration, ete. The big attraction is the Fireman‘s lhl:y WBw® REMTOZIM o CCC 4 has a strong team entered and Etobicoke is favored to take the title for the third year in a row. ‘Their team of Lloyd Rice, Ray Houghton, Ron Wood and Kurt Pluntke is working hard and should retain their laurels. Rice is a former paddling champion turned swimmer and coach. _ He handled big Cliff Lumsden in some of his conquests. Houghton is also a star natator from the Lakeshore Club. Wood is an unknown quantity but they say he is good. Pluntke, of course, is an "old pro" with loads of exâ€" perience, having also been a forâ€" mer Canadian amateur champion and International swimmer (Pan American Games 1958). They will be tough to beat. Don‘t mio\this night‘s show. Last Saturday‘s swim trials at McMaster University in Hamilton were for the benefit of those qualiâ€" fiers for the National Championâ€" ships and also«to see if somebody else could make the team. Toâ€" ronto‘s Jim Shaw (USAC) came TRIALS AT MeMASTER up with a world class effort for the 100 meters backstroke with a long course (50 meters) time of 1:03.9 seconds. He is a certainty for the Panâ€" American Games Team. _ _Another _ tremendous _ showing was by young Doug. Keir, a 12 year old prospect from the Etobiâ€" coke A.C. who covered 200 meters backstroke in 2:40.6. Ontario swimmers are being deâ€" prived of the chance to get enough practice time in long course pools. McMaster is open only‘ twice a week for our champions. The ‘Toâ€" ronto area should hang its head in shame for not having a proper indoor locale. What a Centennial project that would have been! USAC MEETING The Toronto Aquatie Club (Uniâ€" versity Settlement) held its annual meeting and a new Executive will sit for the 1967/68 season. Presiâ€" dent is Mr. Mike Nagy and the Board consists of Messrs. Bus Cole, Tom Lutton, Gerry Coughlan and Gaye Stratten, Mrs. C. Stratâ€" ten and Mrs. Jean Shaw. Mr. Ross Shaw is Past President. The different thing about this meeting is that there was no elecâ€" tions. Some 25 parents sat down for an hour over coffee and cookies and simply discussed who would fit in best and where. Enthusiasm and coâ€"operation were all over the place. â€" A fine aquatic club run by fine people with a great coach, N. J "Nick" Thierry. SPLASHES: Mens sana. corpore sanoâ€"that means "a healthy mind in a healthy body". â€" For those who have this com bination, be thankful that you have. Some of the swim frater mity have been ill lately, your truly included, and thanks to my wellâ€"wishers and coâ€"operation given. _ _ Several days in the local hos pital makes me appreciate m; health and the opportunity to tak« a swim again . . . Passage of Time. Just before the start of World War Two, a young man came ove: from Buffals and won the CNE "Big Swim" two years in a row. 1936 and 1937. One of the greatest of all time was Frank Pritchard, a powerful smooth stroking chamâ€" pion. His brother Stanley also participated in these swims and placed 4th and 5th. Both were great handball champions and ar« enjoying good health in Buffalo Lots of swimming lessons are available at this time of year. Gus Ryder‘s Lakeshore Pool will agair be open most of the summer, from July 3 to August 18.. And Etobicoke Swim Pools Man ager Mr. John Finch is coming up with a plan that will give every student a chance to swim. He is working on a deal with the Board of Education. Scarborough and other areas have been doing it for On Dixie Road between Burnhamthorpe and Dundas St. ©.8. SHIPP id 8ON Limited A community of quiet elegance some time and so have other parts of the country. s If they will put Mr. Finch in charge, they‘li have something, that‘s for sure. A better man you couldn‘t get and let‘s hope that bureaucracy doesn‘t hinder this progressive scheme. So they‘ve condemned the Mimâ€" ico Beach House as a fire hazard. Let‘g trust that if they do tear it down that the borough fathers will replace it with a new building. We need it (it‘s like a Recreation Centre) and we certainly need chief lifeguard Jack Walsh‘s serâ€" vice along the coastline. . Mr Walsh has saved many, many lives during his some thirty . years patrolling from the Humber to the Etobicoke Creek. Hats off to June 15, 1967 Johnny Waish Don‘t let your children swim in any unsupervised areas." A lifeâ€" guard is a must and so is a check by the Board of Health to see if the water is fit for swimming. This Sunday at the Montgomery Road pool (12:30) are some more swimming trials for the swimmers who still haven‘t performed the necessary qualifying time standard to enter the mational championâ€" ship, July 3 at Winnipeg. Head Coach Don Miller (EMAC) is being extremely generous in proâ€" viding this opportunity for the kids, Any swimmer or coach inâ€" terested can contact him or even go to the pool and he will add the event to the program. Hats off to Don Miller. The Canadian Intercollegiate Athletie Union is still firmly conâ€" vinced that scholarships should not be doled out on the strength of athletic prowess alone. Well, some of us are ‘born with brain and some with brawn and some with brain and brawn. Recently here in Toronto, a family of less than average means had a son who just missed getting an academic scholarship. He was also a better than â€" average â€" track star. He received an athletic scholarship from an American College where he could pursue both his interests, science and track, and thus another ‘outstanding Canadian citizen joinâ€" ed the "brain drive".
