McEwan. He was the lone objector present Tuesday night when Town Council held a special meeting to give three readings to a by-law author- izing an exchange of the Town Hall and Post Office properties. A petition from 23 West street businessmen, objecting the move, was filed. Under the terms of the deal ap- proved by council, the 78-year-old Town Hall on East street will be handed over to the Federal Gov- ernment in exchange for the 70- year-old post office on West street, plus $14,000 cash. • •• Mrs. P.

Two-legged Sheep Cause Many Of Traffic Accidents The number of sheep in Ontario has dropped drastically in the last decade. That's the four-legged, wool bearing kind. No statistics are available on the two-legged variety. There is something of the sheep in most people, It is a common tendency to follow the man ahead. It gives a feeling of protection and saves the bother of thinking for oneself. And no doubt it is a good thing for civilization that the fol- low-my-leader instinct is so wide- spread. Society, as we know it, might become unmanageable if everyone were a rugged individ- ualist, unwilling to conform to anything. In to-day's traffic conditions, in- telligent conformity is an import- ant part of good driving. But sheeplike unquestioning imitation of others can multiply driving er- rors, and spread a rash of danger over a' wide area. It is only too easy to develop bad driving habits and then white wash them with the self- excuse—"others are doing it, so why shouldn't I?" And when there is plenty of traffic, there is usual- ly a bellwether to start leading the flock on the wrong path, such as the driver who swishes past the line of cars holding a legal and comfortable 50 m.p.h.; crosses the tracks in spite of the wig-wag; rides the shoulders when traffic is backed up on the highway, straddles lanes on curves; slows to a crawl to drink in the details of a smash-up on the boulevard, or punches his horn when locked in a traffic jam. Bad driving does not cease to be bad merely because it is common- Surviving are one son, Leroy, at home; one daughter, Mrs. Lloyd (Phyllis) Bender, Crediton; two brothers, Ray,. Hamilton; Orrin, Varna; one sister, Mrs, Wilfred (Shirley) Chuter, Varna. The funeral was held from the Bonthron funeral chapel on Mon- day, December 1, with the Rev, T. J. Pitt officiating, Interment was in Bayfield Cemetery. The pallbearers were Ward For- rest, Clarence Stephenson, Winst- on Workman, Wilmer Turner, Gar- net Taylor, Harvey Boyce.
