It's A Highway Not A Speedway !
THB SPLENDID JOB of re-surfacing
and widening Highway 4 from Clinton to
Kippen i completed, with the exception of
landscaping. A word of warning to all
persons using the road, may not be out of
place. •
Some people seem to be possessed
with an irresistible urge to speed, when
the opportunity presents itself, To be the
first to do something never done before;
to drive a car faster than it has ever been
driven; these and similar accomplishments
have an appeal which often leads to trag-
edy, These tragedies are avoidable, if
good sense and common care are exercised.
Npw that Highway 4 is a fine road
for the travelling public, let all drivers bear
in mind that it has been constructed to
serve as a highway, but not as a speedway.
May it be said, also, that pedestrians,
as well as motor vehicle drivers, when
crossing the intersection of Highways 4 and
8 in the heart of Clinton, are required to
observe the lights recently installed,
The rules of the road, well observed,,
are your guarantee of protection and
safety.

Cemeteries
As there is much confusion with regard to the
responsibility and care of unused cemeteries, the following
information has been forwarded to all municipalities in the
County and is here presented for the benefit of the public.
"The Cemeteries Act (R.S.O. 1950, c. 46) specifically
requires:
1. All parcels of land used for cemetery purposes
must be retained as such unless all bodies or
remains have been removed, and the necessary
authority obtained. •
2. The management and care of these cemeteries
rests with original owners. If no other owner-
ship can be established this responsibility re-
verts to the municipality in which the said ceme-
teries are located.
3. Care includes: Control of weeds, keeping fences
to exclude animals, and maintaining the ceme-
tery in good order and repair.
The public is asked to support its local municipality
in the proper care of unused cemeteries.

A Few ont's •
1—see that all wiring extensions are carried out by qualified and, exper-ienced wiring contractors. This ensures a final check-up by the wiring
inspector of the Hydro Electrie+Power Commission of Ontario.
2—Never use fuses larger than 15 amperes on branch circuits in pour
home.
3—Don't "Plug" fuses by inserting coins behind them, The fuse serves
similarly to the safety-valve of a boiler.
4—Make frequent inspections of flexible cords.
5—Don't hang any electric wiring on nails. Don't tack extension cards to baseboards or walls.
6—Keep combustibles away front all heating elements,
7—Keep light bulbs away from clothing, paper, window curtains, etc,
8—Never use an iron, toaster or lamps as bed warmers.
9—Never use combustible cleaning fluids in your electric washer.
DON'T—under any circumstances use a Portable Electric Heater in the Bathroom.
When toe great a load is placed on a circuit, or when a "short" occurs, the
Th e Fusefuse "burns out" and outs Off the power. This is your protection. BE SURE
TO REPLACE A FUSE WITH CORRECT SIZE.
Violation of these rules resulting in fire, may invalidate your Fire
Insurance Polley.
