TRY COURTESY AND COMMON SENSE
The next few weeks promise to be a
pretty grim period for pedestrians, unless
motorists observe some care, courtesy and
common sense in driving.
Moderating temperatures . andthe in-
creasing warmth of the sun's rays, will turn.
snow -banked roads into miniature lakes of-
dirty ;waterand slush.,
The pedestrian, whether he or' she be
a kindergarten pupil or a .seniorcitizen,
has no choice but to walk on the roadway. ,
It is inevitable that they will Ie drenched
with the winter's dregs unless ' motorists
excercise an unusual degree of courtesy
and cautious . driving. . Sueh courtesy,:: ;we
think, can be expected,,
.But, if the wanton : splasher ,has no
heed for pedestrians or the circumstances,
that force them to the road,:. be should '• face
law, if suchthere 'be...
the penalty of -'the ` t .,.. .

Better still,set 'hail' im' loose on' foot and.

NEED PROFESSIONAL. INSPECTION
The stark . tragedy which'struck''Listo-
Listo-
wel on Saturday morning, when seven boys
and their recreational director died at play
in their arena •under an avalanche, of splin-
tering wood, steel sheeting and cement
blocks ' has g gripped ed` the hearts of everyone
., ..: g PP
in the district.
If the :anguished : parents : and : young
',widow of the victims, could sense the wide-
spread . sympathy and compassion that.is
felt ' for them, it might an some measure
bring, consolation in :.:this • horrible tragedy
which• : has snuffecl' out the lives of so many
innocent lads. The ' grief ' of • such ' an un-
explainable tragedy would ` seem . 'almost
unconsoleable without a deep and 'Abiding
* faith, ` which must be deeply challenged at
• •
' such a time.•
When the first shock , of the sudden
•
blow passes, then comes ' the whys.
Writing in the Globe and "Mail, Scott
Young sums it up t,uslys
"After a tragedy such as "the,' one: at
Listowel, it is easy. • to .-cry havoc. Easy to
toss blame in: all directions, as some • will
do, so that the factory . worker or barber
who volunteered to help' with the kids'
hockey somehow . finds himself ' feeling guil-
ty,' although he knows in' his „heart that he
could look at an overloaded roof all day
long and . .never :know anything was -wrong
until the instant it; fell on him.
"And.: why should he know? . Why
should even an arena 'manager' know, if
the: town .that hired' him did not specify
someone with experience in; weights and
stresses; who also could take tickets, make
• 'ice and tend fires?
"Most towns :or villages employ an •
• engineer" for other municipal jobs,' either.
full time or on consulting basis, and. could
'have him look at• the rink regularly in win-
ter. Some undoubtedly' have inspection sy-
stems that . efimate' all possibility of such
wracking hours as those on. Saturday at
Listowel'.
"But any rink' organization without a
' professional inspectionsystem, which.. does
not now immediately arrange for one,
• should be held responsible by 'the public
if ever again some boys having great fun in.
a rink hear a* terrible crack above them,
and them hear no more,"`
Things couldCbe worse. Suppose your
errors were tabulated and published every
•day, like those of. a balipl'ayer'
Even if money did . grow on trees,,
we'd have to shake a lit ,b to . get it.

A COURAGEOUS DECISION
The hardship and heart ache of th • u -

through no ,fault .of their own, is A. circum-
stance that stirs the sympathy of all who
fully appreciate the significance of a weekly
pay cheque. •

abrupt Jayoff. ' of ; the Avro workers, includ-
ing -many specialists and technicians engag-

evitable was apparent to the rank and file.

THE 'MALIGNED SPUD
(Ottawa; Journal)
Specialists in the nutrition field, not
only in Canada and the United States but
in . France and ,Britain have come up with
the finding that the potatd is not "fattening.
True, theyqualify' their' pronouncement by
saying that potatoes friedin deep fat, . pota-
-, toes swimming in melted butter, and a bak-
ed potato with a huge blob of butter where.
the skin has been cut open, can indeed be
fattening. But the potato as such is innocent.
The . potato 'Men were not content to
rest on
not fattening, they ' say, but—backed sotat
t by
some noted experts 'may' well 'be 'helpful
in cutting down the incidence of heart dis-:
ease. ' Potatoes, a prominent nutritionist
said last week in Montreal, contain a high 4
proportion of potassium, an element essent-
ial to a healthyheart condition. They also
are rich in essential vitamins, iron and nia-
inc.
For years now,, the potato. has been
tinder a cloud. • Now it seems to be coin-
ing into its own again.'
"In 'Man whom men denounce as .ill..
I find so rnuch of goodness still;
In men 'whom men pronounce divine
I find so much of sin and,' blot,
I do not dare to draw a line ,
Between the two, where God has not."
