The lifejackets floated well but the child was held under water. The following recommen- dations are a direct result of the lifejackets testing clinic: e Everyone must wear a MoT approved personal flo- tation device while boating. @ Adults, no matter how good a swimmer you are, should be equipped with a life jacket. @ All personnel flotation devices must be tested by wearing them in the water. e Each person must wear a Personal Floating Device suited to his or her body type. If too large or too small, they "will be useless in an emergency. Some-one else's won't necessar- ily float you correctly, Eighty per "cent of all drownings occur because peo- ple do'not wear lifejacketa while boating, says safety area consultant for the West Koote- nay, Heidi Helle, Here is something for you to try with your own lifejacket to see if it can pass the test, Is it approved by MoT? ‘Will it support the person for whom it is intended? Are’ all snaps, belts and ties in good repair? Can you move freely when wearing your personal flotation device?

Revelstoke Canyon Dam. Mayor Parker says the fund should be administered by an independent person or com- mittee to which city council or individual groups could apply for aid to assist them’ with problems caused by the.dam. Such a fund, he suggests, would prevent the community from “having to go begging to Hydro” every time a problem arises. Hydro officials. have said they are trying to work out an: equitable cost-sharing formula with the city to meet problems that may crop up, but Mayor Parker says he personally objects to any proposal that falls short of an established fund which he is advocating. Hydro has offered the city $1 million for a new community complex, $250,000 advance for extending the water system, . and mobile home parks for 200 units. Kaopectate* Adhesive Bandages.

By accepting that fact, our major concern is for.’ the safety of our community.” Among the concerns in- * volving safety is the possible need for monitoring a mountain slippage at Downie Creek, 45 miles north of Revelstoke, which conceivably could result ina major slide that would spell disaster to that city. Other areas of concern to the city, the mayor noted, involve housing, water, sewage disposal, policing, recreation, education, social services and lindustry.
