The number of adop­ tions is 16 more than in the same period last year.

William McKenzie, reeve of Exeter, and chairman of the county library committee, told councillors that the bookmobile service is to bo changed in 195T, to provide for calls at individual schools, instead of group deliver­ ies to school areas. The extension of school library services said Reeve McKenzie, is going to call for an increase in the library budge(. At the suggestion of his committee, County Council voted Thursday to recommend to the 1957 Coun­ cil that the library grant in the county budget be increased from. $7,100 to $5,000. The budget first proposed for next year, said Reeve McKen­zie, called for $10,000 for the County Library, His committee whittled tliia amount by arrang­ ing for assistant librarians to handle school exchanges, and by making a 20-percent increase in the fees to be paid by libraries and ^schools using the book-ex­ change service, “The increased demand” said Reeve McKenzie, “is calling for more books, more truck service, and more help, with the result that costs are higher.” •V M 7W 4 CAW kA /-A/Vl At HUNTLEY'S BROWNIE HAWKEYE CAMERA ........

The Canadian Highway Safety Conference has issued figures that show one Canadian dies ev'ery three hours on Canada’s streets and highway^. Every weight minutes, someone is injur­ ed. Traffic ^accidents, minor or serious, occur at the rate of one every two minutes through­ out the year. Property damage runs to more than $200 a minute all day long. These alarming statistics have prompted - the Conference .. to sponsor a national Safe-Driving Week, scheduled to run from December first to seventh this year. It is the hope of the Con-, ference that the tragic traffic toll, amounting to a national disaster, will be reduced con­ siderably as a result of the cam­ paign, Safe-Driving Week is timed to coincide with the beginning of the Back The Attack. On Traffic Accidents campaign in the Un­ ited States and has the support of Prime Minister St, Laurent, the Premiers of the Provinces, and many corporations, indust­ ries and associations across the nation, Antoine Rivard, chairman' of, Canadian Highway Safety Con­ ference said, “.To strengthen the impact of the campaign, the drive is being continued tor Sev­ en days this year. Last year the statistical success of Safe-Driv­ ing Day rested on the hazards of a single day. The week’will be preceded by' '10 days of in­ tensive promotion designed to make both driver and pedest­ rian fully aware of his respon­ sibilities and possibilities.” “The result, it is hoped/’ said Mr. Rivard, “will be a-drastic cut in the number of accidents in December’s first 'week. It Will then be up to the individual to show that every week can be a Safe-Driving Week with an ab­ solute minifhum of accidents. “If each person—motorist or pedestrian—can keep out of ac­ cidents for one week and then repeat that pattern in the months to come, the campaign will have, been Worth while.” Results, are 10 ba compiled on a community level. If each com­ munity and region can reduce its accidents,* the national total ’for Safe-Driving Week will pro­ duce encouraging results. The Canadian Highway Safety Conference figures that human nature and highway hazards be-' ing what they are, a perfect rec­ ord may be too much to expect. The Conference believes that a 50 per cent reduction in deaths, injuries and accidents Will. be the target. f I SANTAI SEE THE PRICE!
