River Broke Up Quietly The ice started on its way (like the three little fishes)' on Tuesday, and went down very quietly. The ■break-up this year was very late, and while the ice was very thick, the sun got to work on it, ’and softened it so much that it crlimbled, and thus made its way downstream. The weather, too, (played its part. Cool nights, after warm days, with no rain, permitted the surplus water to get away undei’ the ice. Dangerous Practice > •Three boys were seriously injur ed in Port Dover last week. They ^.were struck by a car on the main street, Where they were indulging in the pleasant pastime of roller skating. It was said the driver of the car did not see them as he was blinded by the lights of another motor car. We hesitate to be criti cal of any pastime that brings en joyment to the young people of the village, but the same thing could easily have happened here on many occasions in the past. The old saying, "familiarity breeds con tempt can, readily be applied to the situation. We have noticed young people roller skating and playing on our streets with no apparent concern for traffic. Most drivers have their cars under control under normal circumstances but in the Case Of the Port Dover accident, where the driver was blinded by i headlights, anything could happen, i If the boys and girls are not aware of the danger of playing on the Btreets We venture to suggest it time their parents brought it their attention.

Rilber fell on the Thursday evening her right arm at We are glad is to Muskrats tip Us Trapping season Opens .Although hoi as many are trap ping this year, the muskrat catch, in the season, is expected to he quite good.
