SWIM TEACHERS’
COURSE PLANNED
Charles Mix, Of Red Cross
Headquarters, Will Ar
rive Here Aug. 2
The need for more local swim
ming instructors was stressed
Saturday by Henry Gerdes, chair
man of the Wilmington Red Cross
chapter, when he announced the
arrival on August 2 of Charles
Mix, field representative from Na
tional headquarters who will con
duct an instructor’s course here.
"Because modern warfare is con
ducted over water, on water, and
in the water, it is important that
all of our men destined to enter
the armed forces have at least
basic swimming skills,” the chair
man said. ‘‘In line with the swim
ming program introduced intc
military camps, the Red Cross is
stepping up the swimming sched
ule in chapters all over the coun
try. In Wilmington we want to
interest all our boys of induction
age, or approaching induction 1c
take advantage of Red Cross in
struction. In order that this pro
gram may be carried out, more
instructors will be needed and
more bathing facilities.”
The chairman added that, while
the needs of the armed forces are
first in mind, swimming instruc
tion is still intended for civilian
purposes of recreation and health
ful exercise. "For the busy war
worker especially,” he pointed out,
‘ swimming offers an ideal leasure
time activity ”
Mr. Mix came to the Red Cross
