John Hutton and George Thom-
pson had a close call from being
drowned, when they were cutting
ice above the damn at Londesboro.
The river began to rise and the
ice on which they were standing
suddenly floated away. Both men
were swept over the dam before
Mr. Thompson, who could' swim,
managed to make his way to shore
and procured a rope and called
for help. Mr. Hutton was res-
cued about 200 feet down stream
after a great deal of difficulty.

A disastrous fire occurred at
Constance between 5 and 6 o'clock
this morning when the large
dwelling house and contents of
William Cook, blacksmith, were
entirely consumed. The fire,
which is thought to have started
from the furnace, had made such
headway before discovered that
the occupants had difficulty in
getting out. The son, Frank, who
is on a visit from 'the west, lost
almost all his clothes.

CLOWN iSTEWS-REcoRp. viultspxy, JANUARY' 22, 1953
WITH THE PURCHASE of required lic-
enses, the owner or operator of a motor vehicle
in Ontario automatically contributes to the Un-
satisfied Judgement Fund established by the
provincial government." There has been a good
bit of complaining about this since the rate was
raised from fifty cents to one dollar.
The most common gripe is that of, "Why
should I pay into a fund to protect the owner
or operator who does not carry insurance?"
But in reality the protection is net of the
selfish driver who will not purchase insurance,
but of the victim of such a driver's careless-
ness. If John Doe, an insured driver, is in
collision with Dick Roe, an uninsured driver,
and the fault lies with Dick, then John re-
ceivd payment from the Unsatisfied Judgement
Fund. But Ontario is not through with Dick
Roe. He is prohibited from owning or operat-
ing a motor vehicle in Ontario until such time
as he fully re-imburses the Fund, plus interest,
and files proof of his financial responsibility in
SURELY FARMERS did not expect their

FIGHT POLIO! The forceful slogan of
he Canadian Foundation for Poliomyelitis will
cho throughout the length and breadth of the
rovince of Ontario this month, as the Found-

elks of life to support its annual Canadian
arch of Dimes.
From city and town, hamlet and country-

IF THE KINDLY, CHARITABLE, honest
pirit of Robert Burns were common in the
orld today, the Gulf Stream would be flowing
hrough the heart of our social and economic
lie, and the wilderness of crazy strife would
turned into a garden of goodwill.
If the Scottish poet were alive today he
ouid write blistering satires on Communism;
abor disputes would not escape his ridicule; the
oguls of industry, spending the winter in the
outh or making world-wide pleasure trips would
ertainly be treated to some irony,
The popularity of the Scottish poet is Mani-

NOW THAT HURON is one of two counties
n. the Dominion of Canada which retains the
anada Temperance Act (Perth County is the
ther one), the County would do well to con-
der the wisdom of this retention.
Granted the fact that Huron County need
himself are dedicating themselves to a never-
ending battle against the dread disease.
The Canadian Foundation for Polio-
myelitis has pledged tself to wage a constant
war against this terrible malady; but like any
great army it needs funds—and badly! If the
Foundation is to succeed in its gigantic task,
and succeed it must, it needs the support of
every man, woman and child. Help the Found-
ation and get in the fight against Poliomyelitis

future accidents, ,
The Fund protects all insured or financially
responsible motorists against the fellow who
finds insurance costs a bit of a bother, and
anyhow feels that they aren't much good tc
him, Also the Fund protects the innocent
victim of a "Hit-and-run' accident.
Although the State of Massachusetts and
the Province of Saskatchewan, both have tried
a Compulsory Insurance Law, other provinces
and states are bringing into effect funds such
as we in Ontario have. It appears that the
compulsory insurance law fails to be of use
when an accident involves a driver from outside
the country, and it is of no use in the case of
the "hit-and-run" accident.
The additional dollar on our license fee
seems on the surface to be a bit of a nuisance,
but after all, where else is the protection
available at that price?

How long Mr. $28 Hog will remain is a

blame for his ultimate disappearance is another
good question.
memory is honored in a way that has few
parallels. Throughout the lands where Scottish
people dwell, the memory of the "ploughman

From Scotland, a country comparatively'
small, and not rich in material resources,
Robert Burns has made a great contribution.
to the thoughts on life, of all succeeding ages.
He despised cant and hyprocisy; he glorified
honesty and real worth in every man.

not be wrong merely because only one other
county in the whole of the Dominion agrees

Did YOUR boy get a .22 calibre
rifle for Christmas? If he did, you
have a big job ahead of you. A
.22 rifle looks small and harm-
less; but looks—as usual—are de-

weapon; it will kill. Each year
lives are taken by these harmless
little rifles. Each year thousands
of dollars worth of damage to road

be behind the CBC in this matter
of echidnas. Think of all the
sneeze-spray we can avoid.
1:1
To come right down to
an echidna is a monotremat-
our edentate mammal nearly
allied to the duck-billed an-
imal or Ornithorhynchus.
We're sorry to state this in
cold black and white type but
Webster's says it's so — and
Webster's probably knows a
bit more about echidnas than
we do.
i0 10 El
We understand that this echid-
na is commonly known as a spiny
ant-eater, but we feel sure the
CBC would shun any such term.
This particular echidna—(Come
on, pronounce it again, Use a
word three times and its yours,
they say) — as we said, this
particular echidna comes from
Australia and it will take up res-
idence in the Toronto Zoo. Oh,
say, it says here, an Australian
echidna is one of the few remain-
ing links with prehistoric life—
isnet that something? Still we
wouldn't like to meet one in the
back alley after dark—probably it
has horrid spines and beady eyes,
al 0 0
The whole idea appears to be
—from what we can glean in
the waste-basket — (It's dark
in here) that the CBC and the
Australian Broadcasting Com-
mission are planning to ex-
change broadcasts for the ed-
ucation of school children,
First Canadian scholars will
hear six broadcasts from
Australia about their animal
and birds, (including the ech-
idnas) and then Canada will
treat the Australian kids to
six broadcasts of the same or-
der.
0 ID
Since Australia was kind en-
ough to ship UT an echidna, we
wonder what Canada should plan
to present to them. Sure we
could .send off a beaver, but they
likely have one already. Besides,
its so easy to say. We wonder if
we have.. close link with our
prehistoric past? It doesn't seem
to to me, from the depths of this
dark and dusty basket, that we
have anything half so intriguing
as an echidna. We just bet the
CBC is racking its brains, too and
we'd give a cooky to know just
what they do send.
