WITH VIGOR is the attitude of Mike Kanigan, one of the
learning swimmers at the Kinnaird pool this week. Mike
demonstrates the stride jump, one of the more energetic
ways of performing the seemingly simple task of entering
the water — a relatively important prelude to swimming.

We are indifferent to the
death toll in our forest indus-
try, so to many people the loss
recently of tanker pilots Alex M.
Davidson and Paddy Moore. and
thelr Canso water bomber will
be just another aircraft disaster.

But they were killed in a
battle to safeguard our forests,
which supply hale of every dol-
lar earned in B.C. They were a
breed of men who in the last
few years have slashed our for-
est fire costs, saved untold mil-
lions of acres of timber, and in
turn protected our jobs and our
pocket boo!
