said Mrs. Eckmier, and plans
Are being made to increase the
Stock Of books for school librar
ies, by 3,450 volumes, in addition
to' ordinary annual replacements.
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.”

Every Day
Every day, .eight Canadians
die in traffic accidents..
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.
