24 Killed Last Year; ??? This Year . ,
AS ONTARIO goes into the last public
holiday of summer, the Labour Day week-
end, the province faces a big battle on the
traffic safety front.
Can the death and injury toll be held
down despite a huge increase in traffic volume?
Will Tuesday's newspapers carry appalling
headlines and accident stories?
Past experience points to this weekend as
a most dangerous period, according to De-
partment of Highways record, lion, George
H. Doucett states: "There is a tragic likeli-
hood that no less than 25 people will be killed
and some 500 injured in motor vehicle acci-
dents this coming holiday weekend in Ontario."
Motor fatalities, during the coming holiday
period in the past three years were: 1949-23
deaths; 1950-27 deaths; 1951-24 deaths. And
on the average some 20 people are injured for
every one killed, several of these usually crip-
pled for life.
The outlook for Labour* Day accidents is
Worse this year because of the increased traf-
fic, and the only way we can prevent a big
accident toll is for ALL motorists and pedest-
rians to co-operate in a province-wide safety
effort.
With both Canada and the :United State's.
celebrating Labour Day, this weekend presents
a huge combination of accident-producing con-
ditions. Millions of people will be on the
move, taking advantage' ofthe last weekend of
summer. Border traffic will be at its heaviest
and himdreds of thousands of summer vaca-
tioners will be returning home. Then there is
the big movement of people to and from the
Canadian National Exhibition.
Right after Labour Day comes the opening
of schools and another big traffic safety prob-
lem—some 100,000 youngsters going to school
for the first time, along with some 750,000•
older children.
To cope with these problems Ontario has
the provincial and municipal police geared to
make a special effort . , and for the last
long weekend safety experts suggest:
1. Be safety minded at all times.
2. Give yourself safety odds by avoiding
fast and heavy, traffic as much as
possible.
3. Start as early as you can; avoid con-
fusion and overloading.
4. Obey the speed limits and safety rules.
5. Above all, DON'T TAKE CHANCES.

ed down the alley and walked up
the street to the Community
Park. It's only a step away from
my home, and I gathered that all
the other fellas from the back
shop had gone, so I made the
effort too. Sure glad I did. The
second game Of the Huron-Perth
baseball playoffs, three out of
five series between Clinton Colts
and Mitchell, was nicely under-
way. The stands were full of
rooting Clintoniana, and a very
good cheering section formed of
Mitchell fans. There were more
cars about than I've ever seen at
the Park this season—for a ball
game, that is.
You've probably already
read on the Sports Page how
Mitchell trimmed the Colts

as it sounds. Clinton Colts
played a good game. They
held their own until the end
of the fifth inning. Just
weren't quite good enough,
that's all. They need mtlre

fans, and a bit more polish.
They'll probably win the next
three games in the serie§ any-
how, so don't worry, all you
baseball lovers, come on out
and root for our team at their
next game, Friday night, at
Mitchell. It's worth the drive,
to give them the hometown'
support they need.
By the way, that wading pool
the Park Board built this sum-
mer was surely well used last
night. The last two days of
warm weather had the water
heated to the temperature re-
quired for a good bath, and the
youngsters really appreciated it.
Mothers, too, had fun. They could
sit on the grandstand, watch the
game, and still keep a weather
eye out for the children playing
in the pool, on the swings or on
the side. Mighty pretty thing,
that, seeing the prettily dressed
young ones come sliding feet
first down the slide. There were
times when three or four were
making the descent at once while
more were climbing up the steps.
Seen against the setting sun,
with splashings in the pool as a
background, it certainly was a
sight for tired eyes.
Hear tell the Post-Office
has had its face lifted. Red
and green paint on its win-
dows and doors, till the whole
place looks spanking new.
Sure do hope some of the
other public buildings as well
as some of the private busi-
nesses' in town can do the
same for their premises. Paint
certainly brightens up the
town.

First of all I want 'to make
clear to everyone, once and for
all, that I am not a rat. Perish
the thought. Why, a rat is a
horrible rodenty kind of animal,
with huge buck teeth and a scaly
tail—a great long stiff scaly tail!
But a mouse—there's no daintier
animal. Such tiny pert little ears,
such curved soft bodies, such
pliable tails, and such minute
teeth. We hardly ever bite any-
one, except in self defence. The
only time I ever bit anybody was
when one of the Men dropped a
galley of type close to the tip of
my tail. I got so excited over
the near loss of it, that I bit the
first hand that started to re-sort
type.
I've just not been quite the
same since that time. But I'm
not a rat. We mice can stand
being classed as timid, poky,
personalities, but ratty? un-
derhand? never!
I slipped out under the back
door yesterday evening; saunter-
