Letter To .Editor
What Price Public
A. meeting of the .Grand Bend
Chamber :of Commerce was held
in the: Town Hall and a general
report and discussion was con-
ducted in connection with the ex-
tensive tourist promotion aetivi*
ties which had been carried out
in the past season.
It was unanimously decided to.
extend 'the Trip to Bermuda draw:
to a date to be announced as r-
e en u 110 fi i t funds got beenrealiz-
ed to. allow :the draw on the
specified date.
Disparaging and unfust criti-
cism has been 'levelled at our able
and hard working secretary, Mr.
Pat Harrison, and at the Grand
Bend Chamber et Comnieree, . and
in general a 'tempest in a teapot'
had been stirred up by a few per-
sons whose major contribution in
any town, toward any public pro-
ject is a maximum contribution
of 25 cents for a ticket, and the
generally expressed opinion of
such persons is 'whatever you do
I could do better (if I had the.
time)'.
This, of tours, is the price of
public service in any community,
HoweVer, no such •criticism was
was registered at our Chamber of
Commerce meeting and only sin-
cere admiration for the. collosal
promotion program which had
been organized and ,carried out
with inestimable skill and. plan-

TO defray eacpensea la connec-
tion with the promotion program.
the 'Trip to Bermuda' ticketa
were sold, Ticket sales of any
kind are objectionable to many
persons but nevertheless seem to
h h
be a . m et od that "helps to finance
many worthwhile public projects.
The proceeds of the tickets not be-
ing sufficient to defray expenses
and allow for the prize at the
time of the draw was considered
by the group and it was decided
to extend the date and formulate
a winter program of winter ac-
tivities to .expedite the draw. The
date of draw will be announced

I predict that the members,
with the united assistance -of the
citizens of Grand Bend, will rally
behind the Chamber of Commerce
and not only bring the present
program to a successful conclus-
ion„ but will insist that our tour-
ist promotion program, so ably
organized and carried out by Mr.
,Harrison, and so necessary to this
resort town, be not allowed to
fade and die but be carried on,
through some medium with even
/greater scope and magnitude in
the years to follow.

By Reg Armstrong
.A. few weeks ago in a large eastern city
a young woman was driving home
along a narrow, busy street. Her wheels --
stuck In the street car tracks and plowed the car head first
into the front of a :heavy tow truck. It was a bad smash-up
but the girl stepped out with only a few scrapes and bumps.
The police officer who investigated the accident wrote
in' his report: "In my opinion, she escaped more serions,in-
jury because of the safety belt in the car." •
This was. probably the first spontaneous and unrehears-
ed accident im which a car safety belt proved its worth. Their
advantage, of course, is that they hold the driver, and his
passengers, tight in their seats when the car stops suddenly,
keeping them away from the windshield, dash board and steer-
ing wheel.
Macey safety organizations have sung the praises of
safety belts and some police departments have had them in-
stalled in their cruisers.
It's a gloomy subject, but one which should . be con-
sidered Sanely and frankly. My feeling has been that the safety
belt hi itself doesn't prevent accidents and may, in fact, Cause
more accidents. Any device which Makes a cocksure driver
mere cocksure, which virtually assures a smart aleck that he
can do anything he wants without tear of being hurt is liable
to put a new breed of menace on to the road.
For my money the best safety devices are those which
actually prevent accidents, a responsive engine, reliable steer-
ing and good brakes.
These are the factors that' get our closest attention
when a ear comes on to our lot for resale. It is part of Our
responsibility, we feel, to send airs onto the road that -are
as Safe as the best mechanics can make them.
Colors, so a new brand of: science says, can make your
car appear longer, shorter, lighter or heavier. lVe'.il tell you
' about it; with a grain of salt, next time.
