OjJO THE PEOPLE OF DELTA AND THE GREAT PAHVANT Thursday, June 22, 1967 Quick Thinking Averts Tragedy at Swimming Pool "A drowning tragedy was averted at the Delta swimming pool Monday Mon-day afternoon, thanks to the quick actions and cool thinking of Mrs. Richard (Ruth) Farnsworth," City Policeman O'Niel Lake repcrots. Mrs. Farnsworth was on duty as life guard at the popular spot when she was called to the deep end of the pool by two young swim mers towing eight-year-old Carl Gavin to the edge. Mrs. Farnsworth quickly removed the unconscious lad from the pool and began apply ing mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Policeman Lake was summoned by others at the pool and by the time he arrived Carl was beginning to rouse. He was taken to the West Millard Hospital for observation and released to his home shortly after. Mrs. Farnsworth says that it is believed that the eight-year-old had jumped from the diving board without realizing the danger involved. in-volved. Carl is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Don Gavin of Grantsville who are visiting in Delta with parents, Mr. and Mrs. Lon Wood and Mrs. Idonna Gavin. Policeman Lake says that this one instance alone proves the wisdom wis-dom of the Delta City Council sever al years ago of requiring that life guards be certified and trained in life-saving techniques. 4-Week Education Workshop Open A Vocational Guidance and Education Edu-cation Workshop opened Monday, June 19, at the school district offices in Delta. The workshop will continue for foivr weeks. Millard County was selected by Utah State Dept. of Education for the workshop with the aim of establishing es-tablishing a four-year high school vocational program in both Delta High School and Millard High School. The first year of the new program pro-gram will be Guidance and will be gin with ninth grade sturents. Hope fully, a student will gain an understanding under-standing of himself and discover his own abilities and aptitudes. If this is accompolished, high school cam become more meaningful and play a greater part in preparing students for their life's work, proponents pro-ponents of the new program feel. It h!s been observed that rural youth are more frequently employed employ-ed in inferior jobs even tho they have performed in high school at the same level as urban students. Several reasons are attributed to this, it was noted at the Monday morning session. Included in these reasons are unrealistic occupational aspirations, family attitudes and lack of occupational information. Another reason, altho less noted, is insecurity and ferr of the unknown.
