It has. been Said Many, Many tildes that farming is a dangerous business and that more farmers meet an un- timely end than any other profession. But, there is another risk to farming that a lot of people fail to _e ornpM- bend. That is the °risk of injury to others, to the general publics, when you can be held liable for 'damages sustained. There are so Many ways that you can be held responsible for damages, Let me name a few, if I may, In the first place, you could be in- volved in an accident with your trac- tor or farm wagon, while travelling from one farm to another, you might have been very careful, and though yeti were in the right, still you may have been negligent in some way, causing bodily injury or property damage. It's easy to be found respone, gible, but not so easy to pay the costs. Perhaps you or your neighbor have already found out that it doesn't pay to allow cattle or horses on the road. Maybe you have already been called upon to dispose of one of your best cows and at the same time be held responsible for damage to a car or truck, In some cases, severe injur- ies have been the result of such acci- dents. Similar accidents can also be caused by pigs and sheep and even by the farm dog, which might have decided to take a moonlight stroll across the highway. Have you one of those "godd watch- dogs" that never let strangers on the place unless you or your wife are around to call him off? If you have, then you are in the front seat, .the first man in the queue for trouble. If Rattler suddenly takes a taste of someone's heels, brother, you are in for a peck of trouble, If your dog chases bicycles and some child is thrown from his cycle as a result of such play, again, you can be held re- sonsible. Your chicken could fly up in the windshield of a passing car and cause a serious accident, Recently three Perth County men were seriously in- jured when a horse crashed into their car, pinning them in the vehicle. You welcome circumstances, and new methods are being unveiled every day, Do you have any protection Against this sort of thing, Tree, it May be just another one of those many bills that pile up every year, but there is liability insurance avail- able te all farmerg, at a very low rate, Insurance that gives you protection against legal damages in ease of acci- dent involving your stock, your etitliP- ment or your hired help, One, legal quit can cost you years of hard work. For less than 00,00 a year, you can have pretection, Is it worth the risk? Think it over.

Long faces, dark halos around eyes, and general blue moods are all attributed to the Christmas exams. Of course, it's all over now,' and all the tortures and tribulations are fading memories, Nov the students are catching up on their lost sleep and wishing they had lost a little more (by the look of some of those marks.) However, it won't hap- pen again, at least not until Easter, and in the meantime there are so many other things to do. In the first place there is the big annual Commencement this Friday night followed by a free dance in the Armouries, Then, before long there is the Christmas formal dance on the night MISS/NC. DRIVER Police had a mystery of the missing, motorist on their hands last week. end. The mystery started at 2 o'clock last Saturday morning, when a. local garage operator was called to the south pier where a car was "fettering" on the edge of the dock. The driver had gone over the rail- way crossing and failed to •turn either left or right on the dock. As a result: the front end of the Car rested only inches from the water. But when police reached the scene the driver was not around, So, when the tow truck had hauled the car to, safety, Constables Arnold Summers and James Moore drove it uptown to the police office on East street, It wasnt until 8.45 o'clock that morning that the owner, Newton. Black, of Sarnia, showed up to claim his vehicle. His absence remained un- explained.—Goderich Signal-Star. • • • a.. could be found responsible for fiat I I M i tires caused by M being left or glass bw left lying about, if year gate blows off and lands on the road in front of ,a passing vehiele.

The clevastating,tornadc struck suddenly, causing millions of dollars' damage in minutes — a fearful example of the power of nature. Most fire insurance policies provide protection against windstorm damage for a nominal additional premium. Wind damage in Canada is not uncommon; and Fire and Casualty insurance companies pay many windstorm claims each year. Tornadoes such as at Sarnia are fortunately rare. Claims paid resulting from the Sarnia tornado totalled approximately $3,000,000 — an example of how the small contribution by the many who *ant protection provides full indemnity and compensation for those who do suffer loss.
