Major disasters are relatively, rare

Parents Get Ammunition for Driving Offspring
PARENTS are continually being
badgered by their children for permis-
sion to drive the family car, and last
week were provided with some good
rebuttal ammunition by a large insur-
ance company.
The survey suggests that only a
limited use of automobiles by students
is desireabIe, otherwise school marks
suffer.
School proficiency, it said, drops
when the car is used more than two
days of five during the Week. On the
' other hand, it, showed that students
who do not drive at all, or those whose
driving is limited to weekends, have
the best grades.
This firm urges parents to be firm
in restricting their children's' use of
automobiles, to ensure that studies come
first, and in addition, that the prospec-
tive young driver gets proper driving
training. Their noires showed that
students who passed proper driver-train-
ing courses have 50 pereent fewer acci-
dents than the untrained of the same
age.
"It's up to the parents to keep
cars and school work in their proper
perspective and to provide the guid-
ance and example in 'the use of the
car", insurance officials say.
Trim Costs ith One- orsepower Vehicles
BUSINESSMEN who want to re-
duce their distribution costs should re-
consider the use of true one horsepower
vehicles with their built7in economy.
Capital cost of one horsepower = it
comes in Percheron Powermite, Clydes-
dale Clippers • and Belgian Bruiser
models — is only $200-$300. You'll
have to pay $14 a month for four new
shoes, but that's cheaper,,than a new
set of piston rings, new plugs and may-
be a carburetor tune up for a multi-
horsepower mechanical delivery truck.
You've guessed it— Dobbin is coming
back to 'help spaceage man, Basil Jack-
son says in The Financial Post.
The city of Saint John is so sure
it can same money by using horses that
it is now experimenting with horse-
drawn snowplows. Stanley R. Price,
city manager, estimates a horse-drawn
plow can clear 10-15 miles of sidewalks
in an eight-hour shift. Seven dray
horses are now hitched to seven plows.
The cost of their upkeep and operation
will be compared with the $56,000 in-
vestment in 14 jeeps that the city has
used until now, Newcastle, N.B. has
used horses for snow-clearing for years,
and continues to use this method. Peter-
borough, Ont. which has used horses
for the past five years "is saving an
estimated $20,000 a year with horses,"
Jack McKibbon, works superintendent
told The Post. A word of warning from
the experts: if you decide to buy the
Percheron Powermite, get a lightweight
model. "They can be heavy on shoes.
Some use more than one set of four
every month," one expert says.

Just after the war, the medi-

On my chest X-ray, They

Every so often, a specialist in
reading X-rays would show me
the "shadow" on my lung.
There were about 484 shadows
on the X-ray. I'd nod intelligen-
tly though I'll swear it was a
different one every time,
I still think they got a fly-
speck on the original X-ray.
But I bear them no grudge.
This used to happen to me clue-
ing the war. We'd be flying for-
mation, on 'a mission, heads
swivelling wildly to watch for
German fighters. Suddenly, I'd
spot a whole gaggle of the foe
and holler over the radio, "En-
emy aircraft, above, 10 o'clock!"
After a frantic silence, in
which everyone else swept the
sky with his eyes, a sardonic
voice would announce, "Smi-
ley's got oil specks on his wind-
screen again."
So I forgave the does. In 12
months, they couldn't prove, at
least to my satisfaction, that I
had TB. But they needed the
practice, and I bore no ill-will.
About eight years later, I had
a very sore back. Could hardly
straighten up. I went to a sipede
alist. He took $28 worth of X-
rays and a ten-dollar fee, poked
me painfully, and on the second
visit informed me that I had a
"severe irritation of the lumbar
region," I was pretty scared and
asked him what it involved, "To
put it in layman's language", he
pontificated, "you have a sore
back."
Couple of years later I hob-
bled into another doctor's office.
My 'knee was acting up. A Ger-
man feldwebel had tried to kick
the kneecap off, one clay in 1944,
and every so often it went on
the fritz. The doe twisted it un-
til I screamed, told me it was
very painful, and sent me to a
spedialist, He took X-rays, wren-

Recently, I went to the veter-
ans' hospital, for my regular
chest checkup. The doe could-
n't find the scar on my X-ray,
and had to ask me which lung
it had been. I don't know.
The other day, I went to an
eye specialist. I can see fine,
but my wife thought I should go;
I haven't had my eyes checked
since another eye specialist, 15
