LIFE SAVING
NEW ZEALAND SOCIETY (P.A.) WELLINGTON, Oct. 21. At the annual meeting of the New Zealand Life Saving Society to-day the following officers were elected:— President, Mr G. D. Griffiths; vicepresident, Mr C. F. Barnett; secretary, Mr J. Breward; treasurer and award secretary, Mr F. G. Glackin; delegate to New Zealand Surf Lifesaving Association, Mr A. Laurie; delegates to National Committee of Swimming and Life Saving, Messrs J. O. Haworth and N. A. Ingram. The council discussed whether the McCabe method of group swimming instruction was the best, some exception being taken to a resolution forwarded bv the National Committee of Swimming and Life Saving stating that in its opinion this was the quickest and most effective method of teaching group swimming, and unanimously recommending that the New Zealand Amateur Swimming Association should consider the advisability of the adoption of the method as a standardised national basis. If there were a better method, said Mr Haworth, the National Committee would be pleased to consider it, but at the moment it considered the McCabe method to be the best.
