THE JUNIOR PALLADI WEEKLY SECTION OP. RlCHiMOND PALLADIUM

ilQW'STKtTiraETO JOIN THE JUNIOR LIFE SAVING CORPS Reports show that many bravo rescues from drowning have becu made by boys between the ascj of 12 ami 15. As a rule boys who learn to swim In early life possess great possibilities as life savers, especially among young people of their own age. To the end that the skill and the bravery of our boys in the water may be trained along valuable lines of the local Y. M. C. A. is now organizing a Junior Life Saving (Am under the. Tied Cross. The

corps will be trained and examined'

by Thomas P. Wilson, who is a certified examiner of the Life Savers bureau. There are no fees for membership In the Junior Corps except that the boy who passes the tests has to buy the badges that he is then entitled to wear. These badges are of three grades, for beginners, for swimmers, and for life savers, an dthey are awarded to those passing the tests, without the necessity of their taking out membership in either the Red Cross or the Y. M. C. A. The standards of proficiency for these grades are as follows: Beginners: Must be able to fiwim r0 feet, using any stroke they know. Swimmers: Must be able to swim 100 yards, using two or more strokes; to dive properly from a take-off; to swim on back 50 feet, and to bring up objects from the bottom of the pool. Life Savers: Must be able to 1. (a.) Tow a person in the water 10 yards by the head carry; (b.) tow a person in the water 10 yards by the under body carry; (c.) demonstrate the tired swimmers' carry; 2. Break the following hold in the water; wrist, front strangle, back strangle. 3. Demonstrate the Shaefer method of bringing the apparently drowned back to life.

4. Correctly answer rive ques tions about what to do and what not to do in the water. Boys that pass the beginners test will be permitted to wear a Heginners badge upon their ordinary coat. Boys that pass either a Swimmers or a Life Savers ... test will be allowed to wear the Swimming Suit emblem, in addition to (he proper coat emblem. The swimming suit emblem is a red diamond, on a white field, with a blue and white life buoy, and a red cross in the center. This badge is highly prized all over the United States, and will be awarded only to boys who pass with 75 per cent of a possible 100. Mr. "Wilson states that only boys who can swim will be allowed to join the corps. Other boys must

first learn to swim in any ot the ; regular classes at the " Y," or elsewhere; then apply for membership j in the Life Savers. The following; good swimmers have already signed up for the course of instruction, and have expressed their desire to I

take the examination as soon as possible: Earnest Russell, George Kruoger, James Ross, Percy Smith, Willard Crandall, Clifford Burr, Maurice Hosier, Walter Fulghum, Jr., Kenneth Parker, Claude Bond, Finley Bond, Mora Parker, Ted Hickman, Membership in the Corps will be closed April 30, 1921. After that date, boys must wait until the members of the first group shall have completed the instruction series, and have taken the tests. This Corps should prove of some value to Richmond, for theBe boya will spread all over the state and country during the summer vacation, and it is impossible to estimate what good may come from the Corps now being started. If only one life can be saved from drowning, by the efforts of a member of the Corps, that is something done that has no price.

INTERESTED GROUP

IN JUNIOR ENDEAVOR Every Sunday afternoon our church which is Whitewater, has Junior Endeavor. We have about 3'J and sometimes we have more. I think It is very interesting myself. Sometimes (very often) we give out questions an make the pupils think of an answer. Some of the leading ones aro as follows: Catherine Fye, Eva May, Bernice Lamb, Stella Meek, Denver Cooper and Inez, myself and a few others. Last Tuesday afternoon we bad a party and the boys were very kind they brushed up the tables and they did very nicely. Josephine McConkey, Warner school.

WHAT EVIL SPELL HINDERS B. T. E.?

Perhaps a concealed name brings bad luck. Anyway, the Garfield girls' gym team which bears the mysterious name of B. T. E. seems to be hoodooed, for as yet it has not a single game credited to it. The spell may be broken by next week, and, if so we can include it in our list of winning teams.

MR. RATLIFF TELLS MANY BIRD STORIES Mr. Walter Ratliff gave a most interesting talk about birds to children in the high school auditorium Saturday, March 19 from 2:30 to 3:30 o'clock. Further enjoyment came to the junior listeners as Mr. Ratliff showed many of the specimens from his unusually largo personal collection of stuffed birds. This talk took the place of the regular story hour which is usually held in the library. Saturday, March 26, the subject for the story hour was Fairy Stories of old Greece and Rome.

Easter Time

Christ is arisen from the tomb The early flowers are in full bloom; The Easter lily lifts her head For Christ has risen from the dead. Lift up your heads this Easter day, The angels have rolled the stone away. Far and near the news is spread, Christ has" risen from the dead. , Rejoice ye people great and small Christ tasted death and arose for all, He drove away the fear and gloom When he came forth from the silent tomb. When Christ arose that early dawn, The sky was clear, no sky nor storm. The sun threw out its golden ray Upon that happy Easter day. The sun rejoiced and the stars and moon, The birds sang their sweetest tune, The mists and darkness cleared away On that glorious resurrection day. Christ today is just the same But through His life we all are changed He died for all the world to save, And gave us victory o'er the grave. Betty Estelle, Garfied Junior high school.

charge of 15 cents is the admission for these special matinees. Ail the action takes place on board an English Man o'War, off tho coast of England. This is a very well known and popular opera and as presented by tho high school cast probably will prove a most delightful afternoon's entertainment.

SCHOOL GARDEN ORGANIZATION TO . BEGIN NEXT WEEK

Isn't it fine? The School Gard: en army js to be organized again this year and of course that means better junior gardens' than ever before and more of them. Organization of the army with captains, first and second lieutenants in each school room from the third to the eighth grades inclusive will be accomplished just the same as laBt year. What will further please prospective junior gardeners is the announcement that Mr. E. E. Rice has again been appointed generalissimo of the army. Definite garden plans and organization of the various regiments will begin next week. Besides the chief interest, of raising vegetables, tiny kind at all that pleases the junior gardener," the growth of flowers and small fruit will be encouraged. Bulk seeds will be used whenever possible as they are generally better than the packet seeds according to Mr. Rice. These may be purhased from any of the feed stores. Where the pupil priers it, however, seeds will be distributed in packet form. Begin planning your garden tonight.
