There have been several accidents, to our knowledge, for this very reason and they could have been avoided. How is a youngster expected to control a large, powerful and dangerous machine if an emergency situation arises? It is no trick to sit at the wheel of a vehicle and guide it along. But the real test of a driver is his conduct in any unusual or unexpected situation, A sudden de- cision has to be made and if made incorrectly, serious injury or even death may occur. Now we all know that children, especially those not yet in their teens, haven't the experience or confidence that will enable them to make the right decision. We protect our of (spring every N OA =m;..sible by giv- ing them advice, by watching over diem and by living the way we would like them to live, We even cover their lives with insurance policies in case something does happen to -them and the best way to see that we never collect on those policies, is to keep them away from tractors and such Mach- ines until they are old enough to handle them safely, Cer- tainly they shouldn't be driving tractors along the high- way, where a tractor can prove to he a menace to faster- nioving vehicles, even when there is an experienced driver in charge of it.

Johns- ton, KERR'S DRUG STORE Phone 18 Wingham It is it great temptation, we know, for a farmer to turn some of the,:e. small tasks over to his children in order to give his attention to more pressing matters. There are, hcAveyer. plenty of tasks which can be safely turned-over to the kids whhout danger to themselves or others. We would suggest that, in our opinion, youngsters shouldn't be driving tractors unless accompanied by an adult who can give instruction in the proper handling of the vehicle and take over in an emergency. It is amazing how well children only seven and eight years of age, can handle a tractor and machinery around the farm. This is a fine thing and a big help to the farmer but let's keep our youngsters off the highways and on the farm where driv- ing is safer. In that way we can breed a generation of safe drivers. r EDUCATI WITH IMMIGRATION 1zgpaier Vo6t.:nna the statement here last -Thursday • slightthatM,U0Or immigrants were entering this province every year. He also pointed out that this meant a commun- ity four times the size of Wingham springing up in Ont- ario every month. We certainly are in favour of this influx of population as long as there are jobs and housing available for them. There is, however, one big BUT and that is as long as the government, either provincial or federal; preferabl y6 feder- al, insists on educating these newcomers not only in our -language but also to our way of life. It is a blow to our national welfare when an immigrant is allowed to go his way speaking his native language and keeping his old outlook on the government. Many of these newcomers were brought up in countries where there was ► little or no democracy, yet we still expect them to under- stand our way of doing things with no guidance Nvhatso- ever. Certainly we want new citizens, but we want good citi- zens. It is not enough to give them a job and say 'Go to it.' Too many of our new arrivals get the fixed impression that all that counts here is to make money and obtain possess- ions. We can easily see how they would get that impression -and some of their predecessors, who came over a good Inany years ago, still have that idea and no basic loyalty to this country. How else did we get the roots of Commun- . ism in Canada except by imn ngrants who were not educa- ted soon enough to our way of life? To-day we are fighting a war of ideologies and out of the millions being spent on propaganda surely more should he available to educate our immigrants. Much has already :been done along this line, but we feel that still greater „effort should be put forth to create real Canadian citizens. Many of our native citizens, themselves, are slipshod about their voting habits and ignorant of our own history and government. This is probably the reason we leave these newcomers to ',educate' themselves, which they often -fail to do thoroughly. Our suggestion would. be to enlarge schools in various 'sections of our country, wherever the immigrants are the thickest, In areas like Toronto, for instance, These would 'have to be night schools, naturally, and Many of our regu- lar teachers would be- glad to carry on the fine work which has already been started in some centres. Now we don't mean just a few week's course or a few 4nonths but a course that is compulsory to attend for at least a year and open to voluntary attendance for at least another year for the types who have the ability to continue, - This one-year course 'in V,nglish and citizenship 'would pay dividends over the years, and would make this a better country in which to live. We would also suggest that Tinglish-speaking immigrants, although certainly more adaptable to our mode of living, have a special course in Val derstanding the Canadian character. We• would not only be doing ourselves a favour by ,educating immigrants but we would also be doing them a avour, FIRST CLASS Watch Repairs AT MODERATE PRICES Owing to lack of space, am com- pelled to confine my repairs to watches only.
