We are cautioned against bathing dogs during cold winter months.

Pets which are used to a hothouse envii mment should not go out at all during the winter. Caged animals such as birds, gerbils and hamsters must be kept out of drafts, Some pampered cats are quite succeptible to chills if exposed to a wintery draft from an open window, Each year, unfortunately, many people fail to realize the importance of extra care for animals during the winter. The Ontario Humane Society reports hundreds of cases each year of animals neglected during the cold. Many animals die of exposure. Many are found with frozen limbs. Caring for these animals is just one of the many jobs carried out by th Ontario Humane Society. Through its educational program, the Society helps prevent many problems caused by careless handling of animals. But when emergencies arise, the Society is ready to step in.

Lord Simcoe Hotel University & King Streets, Tel, 362-1848, BA Clinton Nevvs,Record, Thursday, November 113, 1971 Middleton ACW hears about Red china The A,C.W. of St. James, Middleton held their November meeting t the home of Mrs. John Grigg of Clinton on Remembrance Day. This meeting was well-attended with 10 visitors and 10 members present, Of these "visitors" five were former members. Mrs, Edward Wise presided, and conducted the devotions and meditations as found in the Living Message. Mrs. Keith Miller read the Scriptere lesson and Mrs. Joseph Storey gave the prayer partner's prayer, Mrs. Wise read a poem entitled "Comfort", which was also the roll-call word and the theme of the meeting. Mrs. Don Middleton gave an interesting account of the Deanery of the South Saugeen, held recently in Forwich. Mr. Paul Rice was the speaker there on the subject of "Crossroads Africa" and of his work there. The Spring Deanery will be held in Exeter. Mrs. Dutot gave the financial statement and Mrs. Keith Miller the secretary's report. These two ladies were appointed a nominating committee for the annual meeting to be held at the home of Mrs. Stewart Middleton on Dec. 9, A letter of thanks for the contribution to the C.N.I.B. was received from Dr. Mowatt. The Rev. Dr. Mowatt was the special guest speaker at this meeting. It was a particularly happy choice on Remembrance Day as Dr. Mowatt was a padre in the Armed Forces and also his subject "Red China" was most timely as Red China prepares to enter the United Nations and is top news at present, Dr. Mowatt's slides and commentary on China were, most interesting and educational. His talk was also enhanced by the addition of sound recordings of actual Chinese happenings, for example the October the first parade. Born in China, of missionary parents, Dr. Mowatt, showed a picture of the stately white house where his parents resided. Dr. Bob McLure later moved into this house, The slides of the Great Wall of China and glimpses of the Forbidden City in Peking were most intriguing. "The only religion in China is the religion of Communism", he stated. The English language is compulsory in the schools. China is the third largest country in the world and the most populous. We realize their importance as one quarter of the world's population lies in China. There is great beauty in China Safe Driving Week, Canada's longest-running national safety campaign, is being held from December 1-7. It is supported by all levels of government, business, industry and organizations concerned with safety. Governor General Roland Michener, Honorary Patron of the Canada Safety Council, endorses the campaign and contributes by signing certificates for cities with a population of 40,000 or more which go through Safe Driving Week without a fatality. Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau issued a message saying the campaign deserves the support of all Canadians. "While modern technology can do much to improve vehicle engineering and highway design safety, the well-being of citizens who travel the nation's highways is most dependent on driver attitudes and skills. "I welcome this opportunity to urge Canadian motorists to exercise responsibility towards their fellow man by operating their vehicles with care, This is essential to reduce the big and unnecessary drain of the nation's human and material wealth taken by traffic accidents," the Prime Minister said. James C. Thackray, President of the Canada Safety Council, pointed out that the success of the campaign depends upon the participation of all Canadians. "While the campaign lasts only seven days, its goal is to alert drivers so as to prevent traffic accidents all year-round. "During Safe Driving Week traffic deaths are reduced in comparison to the weeks preceding and following it. But too many people are still being killed and injured," he said. "Despite recent improvements, in. scenery and in buildings, An example is the marble camel-backed bridge in Peking and the • terraced mountain slopes covered with lush gardens'. His pictures showed the contrast between Peking and Canton, with its redolent slums, All missionaries had to get out of China as their presence was an embarrassment to their friends, harried by the Communists. Families are required to SPY on each other's activities and report to the authorities. "Their brand of Communism if different from the Russian Revisionist Socialism". Chinese women no longer have their toes broken and turned back and their feet bound as in previous ages. This was to keep them at home and would not go down with our Women's Lib! Many of the ancient medical practices are found to have modern relevance, Dr. Mowatt showed the farmers ploughing with water buffalos trying to meet the government quotas. Dr. Mowatt concluded his talk with reference to Remembrance Day and expressed his belief that Red China had no feeling of aggression against the West. Mrs, Joseph Storey moved a warm vote of thanks to Dr. Mowatt for his wonderful talk. Mrs. Gregg and Mrs. Don Middleton served a lovely lunch. When we left at midnight, the "social hour" was still going strong. 100 Canadians still die and more than 3,000 are injured in 10,000 accidents each week. Mr. Thackray, Executive Vice-President, Bell Canada, said drivers themselves are responsible for accidents in the great majority of cases. But they could prevent nine out of ten of them by driving defensively, "by gearing their actions to the tested principles of recognizing the hazard, understanding the defense and acting in time." The average death ' toll in traffic for Safe Driving Week is 61 since the inception of the Campaign in 1956. This is well below the average for seven-day consecutive periods at this time of year. In 1970, the average weekly death toll during the rest of December was 96. During Safe Driving Week there were 63 deaths. The scope of the problem being brought to the attention of Canadians by the campaign is given by 10-year statistics from 1960 to 1970. In this decade, there were 4,050,909 reported traffic accidents in which 47,324 Canadians were killed and 1,482,312 reported injured. MATCHES- WIMR KIDS Mr. Kenneth E.

Recreation Tips, The key to hunting safety is the proper handling of firearms under all conditions, The Ontario Safety League suggests a few primary rules that would eliminate most hunting accidents if strictly observed: TREAT EVERY GUN AS IF IT WERE LOADED until you have personally inspected it to be sure there is no ammunition in the chamber or magazine. ALWAYS POINT THE MUZZLE IN A SAFE DIRECTION. Never allow the muzzle to point at yourself or any person or member of a hunting party. Do not point your gun at anything you do not want to kill, BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET. Never shoot at a sound, a patch of colour or any object until it is identified without doubt as the game you are hunting. It is a good practice to see the complete outline of the game before releasing the safety and squeezing the trigger. WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING. Be sure the colour of your clothing makes it extremely difficult for other hunters to mistake you for game. It is particularly advisable for deer hunters to avoid white clothing. A bright red cap and jacket or blaze orange safety vest is recommended in Ontario. The Ontario Safety League claims that safe hunting requires complete control of your actions. This comes with practice. By handling a gun properly at all times, safe hunting becomes a habit. Practise self control every time a gun is in your hands.
