The committee was set up
June 00 by the Ontario Govern-
inept to .look into all aspects of
municipal drains and will hold
meetings in, various locattens
across the Province,
John Sadan, 11,11.1, Zurich,
who made the motion to call for
the meeting, cited the problems
with engineering as one of the
major reasons why such an in-
vestigation is needed.
He said the government in-
quiry was a good idea and that
"It should have been done a long
time ago".
He was supported by George
Underwood of R.R.1, WIngham
who said one of the biggest prob-
lems is that engineers do not
have to be responsible for their
work. "If an engineer makes a
goof, too bad" he said, "you're
out your money". He said there
should be some way that a muni-
cipality can come back on the
engineer if it is proved the
engineer made a mistake in
designing a drain.
Warble fly spraying problems
also came up for discussion at
the meeting.Bill Dolmage,R.R.1,

sect. Many at the meeting felt
that warble AY spraYerS and in-
spectors were net properly
trained and qualified for the
Job. It was also noted that the
warble fly cycle seems to be
cha.e.ging and the warbles are,
coming out later in the year (
(July or August) and thus
are being missed with spring
spraying. The whole question
was referred to the resolution
committee which will draft a
resolution for a later meeting.
One resolution was passed
at the meeting. It was drafted
by Adrian Vos of Blyth after he
noted, the comelaint in a recent
newspaper article from south-
weutern Ontario that there was a
market for Canadian canned foods
in the Carribean but there were
no licensed trucking companies
in the area to carry the goods
to port and Toronto-based truck-
ers would not come to southwest-
ern Ontario for less than full
loads. It was noted that the first
orders from the Carribean would
be less than a truck load until
the buyers were satisfied with
the Canadian product.
Under the present conditions,
it is difficult to get the goods to
the Carribean so the buyers turn
to U.S. suppliers.
Mr. Vos' resolution asked for
an investigation of the Ontario
Highway Transport Board for its
refusal to grant a license to
southwestern Ontario truckers to
carry the goods and thus block-
ing the markets for Canadian
farm. products.
Guest speaker at the meeting
was H. B. Wallace, safety con-
sultant with the London Branch
of the Ministry of Transport and
Communications. He told the
audience that there was no such
thing as an accident except an
act of God. He said that all
accidents are collisions caused
by; (a) lack of knowledge; (b)
unsafe acts or (c) unsafe con-
ditions. Use of the term acci-
dent, he said, meant people were
trying to fool themselves into
thinking these collisions could
not have bee" prevented.

Your eyes-your first
line of Self-Defence.
The best protective equipment
you can ever own is already
yours—one pair of eyes. Just
knowing what's going on around
you helps you avoid job accidents.
So it makes good sense to look
after your eyes, with
protective glasses if
the job calls for them, and regular
check-ups if your eyesight's
below par. Take care of your
eyes, and they'll see you safely
through the working day.
The sure
safety
to
wa is
Self-Defence.

• HE LIKES HORSES
Charles has two absorbing interests - horses and fish-
ing. He seizes every opportunity to go riding and he loves
to go camping near a lake or river where there might be fish.
Charles is 13, slightly built, with blue eyes, brown hair
and fair skin. He has just finished Grade seven and did well
in school last year.
This boy was moved many times before he came into the
care of the Children's Aid Society. He is left with the in-
secure feeling that perhaps he does not belbng anywhere.
He very much needs a home where he knows he will stay.
Charles is cheerful and outgoing but somewhat imma-
ture. He has difficulty following through on projects he under-
takes. A healthy, active boy, he likes sports, especially
baseball.
Charles needs a mother and father who will welcome,
encourage and love him for himself and who will understand
it will probably take him some time to realize that finally,
after all those unsettled years, he really has a home and
parents.
To inquire about adopting Charles, please write to To-
day's Child, Box 888, Station K, Toronto. For general ad-
option information consult your local Children's Aid Soc-
iety.
