The sole victimm. was five-year-old Linda Miller, AR 1 Dashwood,. who was struck by a car in Zurich when she ran. .across the highway, This is the least number of fatal .accidents. reported by the detachment in a decade, The number of persons injured declined by one-third—front 62 to 41, The number of ac-. cidents dropped from 181 to 173 and the property damage total is down from ¶90,71,0 to '$77,885„ Although it may .not be the only factor, it would appear that the increase in charges laid. under the traffic act made a significant. contri- bution to the improvement of the record. In 1961, police laid 452 charges, compared to 230 last year.. Stiffer enforcement is also reflected in the total amount of traffic fines paid by negli- gent drivers. It increased to $5,323 from $4.300. Partially responsible for the increase in pro- Secutions was the greater use 'of radar this sum- mer to catch speeders, July remains worst month Worst month for accidents in 1961, as it Was in the previous year, was July, when police investigated . 20 mishaps in which five persons were injured. (Last year, six persons were killed and 17 injured in the same month). Again, December was. the second worst month with 19 accidents; April placed third with a total of 18. Six persons were convicted of impaired driving, compared to 10 last year. The detachment, which covers the town- ships . of Hay, Stephen and. Usborne, conducted 276 investigations under the criminal code, an increase over last year. However, the number of prosecutions dropped from 74 to 43. Convicted persons paid a total of $1,595 in fines. Under the Liquor Control Act, 45 charges were laid, compared to. 26 last year. Fines under this act totalled $877... PC C. E.

Mr. and Mrs. Harold Deitrich Ausable authority, in its statements of defence, refutes the claims of municipalities protesting their assessments toward the cost of the Park- hill dam. Both the appellants, Bosan- quet and Stephen townships, claimed they have been as- sessed too much for recreation, since they already have a num- ber of parks close to them. They also contended that the portion assessed for flood con- trol benefit was too high. They asked that their shares of the• cost be reduced 50% and The Exeter youth, who is stir- ',dying English at the University of Toronto, explained that he may have to drop out of school for one year to make the trip, but said it would be a real challenge, Crossroads Africa sends stu- dents to underdeveloped coun- tries to work with the natives and get to know them and their problems personally. Approximately 200 American and Canadian youth go to Afri- ca for a seven-week period, usually in July and August, and they are given various jobs, such as constru c tin g schools and digging irrigation ditches. They spend three weeks at a training camp in Washington before making the trip "If I go to Africa it won't be as a representative of the West- ern way of life because there are certain. things in it I- can- not support," the premier told the 100 members. 'The same .thing goes for communism." "A society that believes in the individual must show it by collective action..

"I'm glad, that's over," said Mrs. Deitr i c h happily. "I didn't think we would get to the hospital in time." Her hus- band was relieved, too.

In its defence, the authority states that the recreational fa- cilities available to Stephen and Bosanquet townships are not exclusive to those town- ships and "if such a submis- sion is relevant at all it is similarly relevant on behalf of all participating municipali- ties." In respect to the flood con- trol claims of the Stephen, the authority "alleges net its es- timate of the lands directly be- nefitted in respect of flooding is 345 acres and that the scheme propounded is designed to provide -flood control for the said lands and that it will not contribute to flooding and that the proportion charged to these lands per acre is on the same ratio in round figures as is charged to other lands for flooding and that the higher land in Stephen township and other participating municipali- ties in the watershed do not receive benefits as alleged." The authority also claims that the townships, through their representatives, were at all times advised of the scheme and the apportionment "and supported the same." The statement pointed out that the benefits from the scheme were. divided into two categories, n a in e 1 y indirect benefits and direct benefits. The indirect benefits, consid- ered 'to be '25% of the whole, consist .of recreation facilities and conservation and all of, the intanebte values included under those heads. The direct benefits, considered to be 71i% of the whole, consist of sum- mer flow regulation benefits by bordering on the reservoir, water supply and flood con- trol, The appellants have 10 days in Which to file replies to the authority's defence, under the proeedure laid down by the tme nicipal board, ;JiMee;.• q2driaMiEtilettelOM Announcements 13 Church Notices ,,,,,,,, 13 Editorials . .................. 4 arrri News ... ..,. 9 Feminine Facts . evidence.
