For the next 14 clays we will read of nothing but the doings at the Ex, and keep track of the daily attendance figures in the hope that a new record will be set. The CNE has something for each and every member of the family as well as for every occupation. This is big business for the manufacturers, entertainers and conces- sion operators, Some of them make enough to take it easy for the rest of the year. What does the Ex offer? Well here's entertainment, such as the grandstand show, the Midway with all its attractions, the horse show and what have you. It's edu- cational too, with all the latest in machinery, autos, appliances, etc., etc., and displays of interest to the in- quisitive, It's all there and not too expensive either. Veteran exhibition goers know enough to take along something to eat as a good meal is hard to come by there. In any case, the line ups are too long for anyone with a healthy appetite. We'll be seeing you at the Ex, "Meet you at the fountain." NOW THEY TELL US The Ontario Department of Highways has an- nounced that steps are being taken to relieve the intoler- able traffic congestion, particularly in urban areas. We wonder if that department has just awakened to the fact that traffic conditions are dangerous. A drive of any distance at all, will prove that fact many times over. Our roads are just not built to handle the volume of traffic and the speeds at which it travels. Driving used to be a pleasure, to-day it is a job and a darned dangerous one at that, When you figure that more deaths occur on the highways than in the Korean war to date, it bears some deep and concentrated thinking. • The automobile has become the No. 1 Public Enemy with the difference that there is no way of bringing it to justice. We are each and every one our own worst enemies. For it lies in our own 'hands whether we survives or perish. The other driver holds our lives in his hands too, but there is nothing we can do except to keep alert and a ready eye for his mistakes. For ouur own part, we can obey the rules that make for safe driving. Fatigue is considered one of the biggest causes of accidents, and is probably one of the hardest things to control. Many of us don't get the rest that- our body demands and have little chance of getting it due to cir- cumstances. Yet there is no substitute for it. Re- actions are slower and danger is multiplied when fatigue rides in the driver's seat. Drinking is another big enemy to the driver. The non-drinker suffers just as well as the guy who is having all the fun. He is just as liable to be hit by a drunken driver and killed. Doesn't seem right does it? If we stop and think that we are driving a dangerous 'weapon we won't be so likely to do some of the crazy things that we have in the past. BOLTS FROM THE BLUE Most of us have the tendency to treat lightning lightly. That is not meant as a joke, especially in. view of the fact that lightning kills nearly 600 people each year and injures some 1,700 more on this continent. Accord- ing to one authority, lightning bolts take more lives than do hurricanes, earthquakes, floods and other mass disas- ters, throughout the world, Fire insurance companies have a yearly bill of $5,- 000,000 thanks to lightning. In Canada, bolts started 940 forest fires last year. The most dangerous areas are the Rocky Mountains and a belt across the southern U.S. We have progressed a great deal since Benjamin Franklin's experiment with a kite in a thunderstorm. Scientists claim the earth is a giant condenser. Thunder- storms are nature's batteries to keep .the condenser charged. Lightning actually jumps up from the positively charged earth to a negatively charger cloud at a speed of 22 million miles an how'. As the heated air around a lightning flash cools and shrinks, other air rushes into the space and makes the noise of thunder. Advice on how to protect yourself from lightning: Don't play golf, ride a bicycle or a tractor, or eat a picnic lunch in a storm. If you are caught outdoors, run to the nearest shelter, preferably a building (skyscrapers are safest) but not a tree. Keep away from wire fences and metal pipes. If on the water, get ashore quickly. Inside a house, stay clear of stoves, fireplaces, doors and windows; above all, don't take a bath, If in air auto- mobile, bus, train, or even an all-metal airplane, you're relatively safe, ``HANG TOGETHLR, HANCSEPARATEtr') MONSTER BINGO in Goderich Memorial Arena on a new hard-rock floor .

In the first game there, the visitors won 9-8, but the locals were hopeful of turning the tables in the return game. Like many another sporting event, the breaks did not come their way, for the Moncrieffe boys managed to corral 5 runs in the first innings, while our church boys only got ohe. The score remained unchanged, both teams playing air- tight ball, until the ninth when the home team notched another and the visitors got two.

Schatte, local bandmaster, is in possession of a very rare violin, He purchased the instrument about one and a half years ago, not knowing it was so old and valuable. A short time ago he was cleaning the interior of the violin when he discovered a label inside which reads "Antonio Stradivarius, Cremona, Facibat Anno 1726". The similar instrument in the Wur- litzer collection in the United States was made in 1725 and is valued at $55,000, The bow in the Wurlitzer collebtion is valued at $2,800 and the bow of Mr. 'Schatte's violin is identi- cally similar.
