Safety On.
WE ARE RAPIDLY APPROACIIING the
busy traffic season with all its dangers. De-
fective brakes are the largest single cause of
vehicle accidents arising from mechanical fail-
ure and it is the prime duty of every motorist
to check the Condition of his brakes to prevent
corning to a 'dead.' stop when danger threatens.
Chief of Police Joseph Ferrand states:
"Maintenance of safe automobiles is a year-
round job. With the arrival of the spring this
is the time for a thorough vehicle check by
all drivers, The habit of always driving a
safe car is the only sure way of knowing a
vehicle will respond perfectly and immediately
when emergency !arises."
"Alertness to the existence of danger, will,
through the process of example, affect the at-
titude of safety consciousness," writes Yorke
T. Williamson in The Quarterly, published by
the Ontario Northland Transportation Commis-
sion. Although the article was written prim-
arily in the interest of mine safety, it extends
in all directions,
Alertness. to danger is essential to safety
and without it no progress can be made re-
gardless of planning or policy. If we' do, not
see danger we can do nothing to control it.
The second principle of safety, continues
Mr. Williamson is investigation with the aim
of discovering cause, the unsafe condition, un-
safe act or the unsafe personal feature. It is
the only means of gaining knowledge and
knowledge must back any attitude of safety
consciousness. This knowledge is the aware-
1:te Highways
ness .of what causes this danger end what will
be the possible result of such danger.
The third principle of safety is the effect-
ive execution of safe practices, What good can
come of the alertness to danger if effective
action is not taken? What good can be derived
from knowledge if conclusions based on it are
not used? Effective action is only possible
when the instructions outlining that action are
clear, concise and understandable,
Pedestrians, tricyple and bicycle riders
have their responsibility to others. The teach-
ing of children in traffic safety is essential
in these modern times and should encompass
all age groups.
At the kindergarten level, the aim is to
teach tricycle safety rules and hazards of
bicycles. This is done by instruction, color-
ing, free-expression. drawing, by cutting post-
ers and pasting, and by rhymes which assist
as memory aids.
At the junior level, instilling a conscious-
ness of bicycle safety as a pedestrian and
cyclist, is -taught.
On the intermediate level the subject is
dealt with through the correlation of social
studies, English, health, First Aid, science and
art. Lessons in the care of bicycles, courtesy,
obedience to traffic laws, use of safety devices
and common sense cycling are the topics dealt
with.
The' senior level presentation is made in
the form of films, reviewing statistics with ern-
phasis on bicycle accidents and discussion of
dangers to riders and others.
A Voluntary Survey
HOW MUCH LIVESTOCK is there in
Canada? How many of these are dairy; and
how many are beef animals? What is the
acreage seeded to grains in Canada in 1952?
How much of this acreage is sown' to wheat
and to feed grains? These and a host of
other questions can best be answered by ask-
ing the farmers of Canada.
Therefore, each year at this time, the Bur-
eau of Statistics, in co-operation with the plaa-
vinces, distributes questionnaires to farmers
throughout Canada so that every farmer may
have the chance to supply information about
acreages and livestock on his own farm,
The June crops and livestock survey is a'
voluntary one. Many farmers supply informa-
tion every year and this year again all farm-
ers are urged to co-operate in the survey. The
object is to get a large number of completed
reports back to the statistical offices as soon
after June 1 as possible. The individual re-.
port will then be grouped together and esti-
mates of acreages and livestock numbers will
be made for each province across Canada, The
1952 estimates will be related to the census
figairog of June 1, 1951 and it will be import-
ant to know that changes have occurred since
then.
The statistics obtained from the June Sur-
vey are an essential part of agricultural sta-
tistics in Canada. They form. a base for the
*crop production estimates later on in the year
and the livestock numbers are need to deter-
mine meat consumption in Canada and sup-
Plies available for export. Government bodies,
farm organizations, industry and international
organizations such as the Food and Agricultural
Organization use the figures extensively.
All schedules returned by farmers are kept
strictly confidential. The individual forms are
seen only by employees in federal and provin-
cial statistical offices,

Last Friday evening members
of Blyth Choral Society present-
ed the cantata, "Joseph's Bond-

Clinton seems to )resist !any

concerts must be held in the
middle of town, where conges-

the road, make it difficult to en-
joy the music.
