HomeMy WebLinkAboutClinton News-Record, 1952-06-26, Page 2THURSDAY, JUNE 26, 1952 Calendar May Save Lives This Year THE CALENDAR is Co-operating with traffic safety organizations this year to pro- mote a safer Dominion Day. July 1 falls on 6 a Tuesday this year, bringing only a one-day holiday for most instead of a long weekend. Dominion Day nearly always carries an additional hazard, falling as it does so close to the United States Independence Day holi- day, July 4. Thousands of Americans come into Canada during this period, adding their" cars to the thousands of Canadian cars on the roads, and traffic problems .develop • resulting in property damage, injury and .often death. Last year, Department of Highways of- ficials warn, 90 persons were killed in the month of July on Ontario roads and highways. This year, they caution, with more domestic vehicles and drivers, and an anticipated in- , crease• in American visitors, the hazards of motor vehicle travel are increased. Safety .is a matter of care added to com- mon sense. The combination of these will pro- mote better driving, safer driving and more pleasure for all who drive. Pedestrians must be considered on this or any weekend, Persons on foot have a right to the use of our streets and highways. But they, also,. should, combine common sense and care to avoid present day road hazards. Fire And CANADIANS have been warned that fire is a silent partner of inflation, W. A. Mather, president of- the Canadian Pacific Railway, peinted out in a public message to the Canad- ian Forestry Association at Montreal. "This warning," Mr. Mather says, "is most pertinent in relation to destruction of our forests.. Suc- cess in eliminating preventable forest fires can be assured through public cooperation. All must accept a proper share of responsibility in this vital matter, "The necessity for universal support of. age giessive forest fire prevention activities is fully recognized by this company. It is extehding full cooperation to organizations which seek public understanding of • the threat involved in • 6 Inflation any impairment of our forest wealth through fire. "As a railway companye we are very much aware that protection of forest resources pro- vides not only increased business generally to the railways, but it is a most important factor in meeting our requirements for ties, lumber, and timber of various kinds, the volume of which can be measured by the fact that our expenditures for these items are exceeded only by purchases for steel and fuel. Strict com- pliance with fire prevention laws respecting locomotive smoke stacks and ash cans, together with creation of fire guards and other instal- lations designed to minimize hazards is, there- fore, carefully observed throughout the comp- Any organization."

The drys have won again. Three years ago the wets brought on, a vote and were defeated. rile people of Owen. Sound do not want liquor outlets and there's no doubt about it. We do not want liquor outlets in Huron County either, We do riot want beverage rooms or liquor stores on the main streets of our towns and villages. We are indignant over the infractions of the law and evasions of the law that are being perpetrated by unlicensed bottle clubs, Police action is im-minent or overdue in several cases. But even this bottle club lawlessness is not as bad. as leg- alized liquor outlets on our main streets, Don't be deceived, people of Huron. The bottle clubs have created a nuisance, but better that nuisance than that liquor outlets should be given visibilit and permanence and respectab- ility in our centres of business and traffic. Moreover the agen of law enforcement in Huroi County are not at all likely t tolerate the bottle club nuisance, This advertisement is inserte by Huron County Temperanc Federation. 26- Mrs. McClure, was the winner o the silver medal in the stenog raphy department of the Clinto Business College.

As a good family man, or as a good citizen, you save some part of what you earn. You save it either through putting money in the bank, or through the purchase of insurance or securities. There is little chance of those savings being lost. But there is grave danger that their value will be destroyed. The value of savings is progressively destroyed every time the buying power of the dollar is reduced. Buying power of the dollar inevitably goes down as prices go up. Prices go up every time there is a wage increase without a corresponding increase in man-hour production It is just as simple as that. So to protect your savings, wages and production must be kept in balance.

This startling fact came out' be- cause a reporter of The Ottawa Citizen saw a bricklayer at work. He differed from all other brick- layers on the job. He was wear- ing wooden shoes, brown cord- uroy pants and a blouse that came down to his waist. He couldn't speak a word of English. He came from Holland. Brick-laying in Holland is similar to brick-laying in Can- ada. The only real difference is that in Holland the bricklayer does three times the work; he CHIROPRACTIC D. H.
