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.

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.
