Well, if the truth were known, he was in hospital. Nothing serious though, just a broken leg. The medical officer just gave me an aspirin and told me to walk slow. 0 v- 0 - 0 The gun crews were in the town park training for the big inspection next Monday night, they sure were cold but did a good job in spite of all the hardship.

The signal section was busy with its little field telephone and for my money they will never replace the “hello girls" at the Bell.

But if any of you people are on hand next Monday you will see “Mighty” and his crew put on a good show. 0-0-0 The officers were finishing off the officer qualification course and were not the least bit sorry for it as it was a tough grind. * Now all they have to do is put it into use this summer at camp. 0-0-0 The gunner’s canteen will soon have to be installed with rubber walls ac cording to Sgt.

ACCIDENT DECREASE SHOWN IN HURON Huron County was one of the few areas which reduced its accident rate during the year 1953, according to sta tistics released by the Department of Highways recently. The department’s figures show that there were 513 ac cidents in Huron County last year, as opposed to 534 in 1953. Only nine of 54 counties showed a decrease in 1953 and the over all total of accidents for the province jumped from 58,515 to 65,866. The decrease in total accidents in Huron was reflected in a lower death toll in the county for 1953. Only eight persons were killed in traffic acci dents as compared with 11 the previ ous year. Injured in motor accidents dropped from 218 to 207 and property damage from 386 to 379 cases. In the provincial totals increases were mark ed in persons killed and injured and property damage, as well as total nu mber of accidents.Almost any of the larger cities would seem to be more dangerous places to live than Huron County, ac cording to the department’s figures. A total of eleven cities in the pro vince last year counted more motor accidents than did Huron County, To ronto leading the rest with a total of 8,341 accidents during the year, com pared with Huron’s 513. On the other hand several of the cities showed less fatalities, although they reported more accidents during the year. Accidents in cities, apparently, are more numer ous, but not as serious. A summary of motor accidents for the province as a whole showed that 1,082 persons were killed during 1953, in a total of 65.866 accidents, com pared with fatalities of 1,010 in 1952. Total injured in accidents numbered 24,353, with about two-thirds of them men.

The majority of drivers involved in accidents are men, between the ages of 25 and 40, and with five or more years’ driving experience. Sober driv ers becoming involved in accidents out-number intoxicated ones by nearly 100 to 1., Cause of most accidents is excessive speed, although the majority of cars involved in accident are going straight at the time, and are in apparent good condition. The department’s figures also show that the majority of accidents happen on a straight, paved road, in good condition with a dry surface. Drivers seem to get the best of it, when it comes to casualties. Of the three types usually involved in ac cidents, most numerous victims are passengers, followed by pedestrians, and last of all, drivers.
