One reader dips their toes into the paper's past

EmailIn response to Jim Gibb's recollection of the Daily Worker children's section (M Star February 16) I enclose an image of the paper's 1957 children's annual.
I delivered Workers Life and the Sunday Worker - they were before the Daily Worker - as a child.
I have always been a very loyal reader, but very few of my letters are ever published.
Like Jim Gibb, I welcomed the recent fitness columns. How about one on swimming? It's recognised as being the best form of exercise. We have had a therapy swim group for nearly 30 years and I have helped many people there.
I am 91 years old and often swim 30 lengths of the 16-metre pool using different strokes. A good technique stretches the whole body.
We have the pool three mornings a week from 8am to 9am and I am usually in the water for 40 minutes.
