TO KEEP MAY 24th WEEK-END FREE OF ACCIDENTS Holiday week-ends bring unusual traffic hazards to Ontario. More drivers and pedestrians use the streets and highways. More miles are travelled. More time is spent out of doors, and thousands of children are re- leased from school. All these factors swell the normal traffic volume and increase the danger of accidents. I earnestly urge oil citizens, and all leaders in com- munity and municipal life, to encourage widespread awareness of the need for safer dr,iving and safer walking. The traffic accident record can be kept down—if each of us does his part. The Department of Highways is conducting a planned attack on accidents. Let us all work together to keep the approaching holiday period free of accidents. GEO. H. DOUCETT MINISTER is your choice for smooth, quiet, gas-saving driving. A Ford feature that's owner-proved and owner-tested with millions of miles of driving, it automatically cuts engine speed when car travels over 27 miles per hour to save gas and engine wear.

Car- ried, Moved by Robt. A Powell and W, Jack Willits that we adjourn to meet again on June and, The Fanning Mill by Bob Carbert The other day, I noticed an item in one of the daily papers to the effect that Queen Elizabeth and her family were moving their goods back into the vast Buckingham Palace. To further illustrate the vastness of this castle, the writer mentioned the fact that it takes one man, working full time, every day of the week, to keep the more than 1,000 clocks in the palace, wound and on time. There would cer- tainly seem to be no need for anyone in the Royal Family being late for a meal, or a public function, would there? Further speaking about time, the little girl in our family, like all little girls, is inquisitive, and she asked me the other day, "Daddy, what is time?" That sounds like a fairly easy ques- tion to answer but ,juat t sometime, at the spur of the moment, I have looked up Webster's dictionary, and it defines time as "A measured or measurable period, a duration, an al- lotted or fixed period or moment," This can he one of the most con+ fusing topics of x conversation, We have various time zones, here in Can- ada, Atlantic, Eastern, Central, Moun- tain and Pacific. Each of theae is one hour ahead, or behind the others, and if you go across our country in a fast plane, you'd better not take your watch out of your hand. Keep on changing it, Then, to add to the con- fusion, there is Daylight Saving time, This comes with the spring, and leaves with the frost, confuses the chickens and the cows, antagonizes some of the farmers, pleases the golf- era and the gardeners. It usually means you're late for church that first Sunday morning, and you'll go an hour early, some Sunday in the fall, It doesn't actually save time, it mere- ly allows those who work inside to take better advantage of the Daylight hours in the evening. Clocks and watches measure time. Sense are slow, some are fast. In the mornings when you're on your way to work they are always too slow, and if you can remember when you were a youngster, you'll recall, that after supper; when bedtime approach- ed, all the clocks in the house seemed too fast. Yes, clocks and watches measure time, lazy people waste time, convicts and prisoners serve time, trains and buses lose time on their schedule, and then speed up to gain it hack again. Athletes race against time, his- torians record it. But do you think my four and a half-year-old daughter will be able to understand all this? I doubt it In fact I am almost confused myself, I think it's time we changed the topic. FORDWICH Anglican Brotherhood Meets Mr. C. D Wairnsley was guest speak- er at the May meeting of the Brother- hood of Anglican Churchmen held in Trinity Church, ,Fordwich, on Tuesday evening, He gave a very in- teresting talk, telling of a trip to the British Isles by air.
