The theme: of Red Cross

Water Safety Week, June 3-9 this year, focusses on
parental reponsibility. The Red-Cross reminds you that
supervision is much more than just a part time job.

water safety service.
“Parents and young people,
in particular, will be the
focus of our publicity.”

The week’s®* theme
throughout all of Canada is
to centre around = In-
ternational Year of the
Child. Parental respon-
sibility will be strongly
emphasized,

“As could be expected,”
‘said Andrew, “our drowning
statistics show that children
are by far .the most
vulnerable age group in our
society. This will always be
so but the fatality rates need
not be so tragic.”

According to Andrew, our
young people are not getting
the attention they deserve.
“It’s fine for Red Cross to
offer water safety and small
craft safety lessons, but if the
parents don’t enroll their

children in the courses our.

efforts are not going to be as
effective as they should be.”

Andrew pointed out, also,
that far too many accidents
occur because parents don’t

take supervision as soriously

as they should.

“How often do you see a
child playing by the edge of a
lake while the parents
concern themselves mostly
with soaking up the sun?”

A child can drown in

inches of water without
making... a. sound. . “That
doesn’t leave very much

room for error.”

venturing out, all children
are actually wearing them.

4. Every parent has a
responsibility to know the
mechanics of artificial
respiration.

5. Parents should ensure
that their children gain a
good understanding of water
safety and swimming in-
struction before they
become actively involved in
water activities.
