Dear Sir: While in Wingham the week -end of February 7th to visit my father, Thomas Thorn - son, of Leopold St., who is ill in the hospital, I happened to read your editorial comments of February 11th regarding the traffic situation at the import- ant Main St. intersection, as it pertains to the safety of school children. Not only is this inter- section a hazard to the school children, it is a hazard to the adult pedestrian and also to the motorist. It is not always feas- ible from a financial standpoint to use the regular Police officers at the time when the children are going to and from school. Perhaps an adult school patrol under the direction of the Police would help. What is really need- ed, of course, are traffic lights and with a main highway going through town that is the only safe solution. Your editorial was well PACK "A" Pack A Wolf Cubs met on Tuesday evening with 28 boys and two leaders present. Doug Mason of the Blue Six led in the opening Grand Howl, which was taken by Baloo. The boys were given two minutes to get their sixes ready for inspection. Doug Soiling of the Red Six was awarded the special woggle. Raksha led in a series of gebtat ®ttivtheS `J" exercises and Baloo read part of the Jungle Story. Doug Mason brought in a very good bird house and Paul Bennett a collector's item. The Father and Son banquet is on March 17, and boys were reminded to return their signed forms next week. Once again another meet- ing came to a close with the Grand howl, The Queen and Cub Prayer. TELLS STORY: This fan, bearing the stamps of many countries, represents the travels of His Excellency Pierre Dupuy, commissioner general of the Canadian Corporation for the 1967 World Exhibition. Last year, Mr. Dupuy car- ried the message of Expo 67 to 47 countries. The com- missioner general says he is convinced that a record number of countries will be represented in Montreal. written and, since everyone these days is more safety con- scious, I am sure your City Council will take the proper action. Sincerely, Elizabeth A. Hershey, Chairman, Traffic and Safety Committee. CORRECT YOUR HABITS Now, as you read this, don't wait until the subject comes up, probably in fast-moving traffic. Deal with it now, while you have a while to figure out the system. Think over your driv- ing (or walking) habits and make up your mind not only to correct them but to make a habit of the safe way of doing things. Practise the right moves in an emergency. Be sure your car isn't in a spot that will get it crushed or forced off the road. Compel yourself to signal, drive in the right lane, turn properly and do all the right things, over and over. Actually, driving is a lot more pleasant that way. Pedestrians can do some re- hearsing too, to make safety a habit. --George Allen, who has been visiting in Chicago the past week, returned home Mon- day evening, --Mayor DeWitt Miller, Emerson Shera and John Pattison attended the Hydro convention held at the Royal York, Toronto, from Monday till Wednesday of this week. --Bill Willis of Whitechurch with Gary Dobson and Brian Cameron left last Saturday morn- ing for Florida for a three weeke holiday. --Mr. and Mrs. Ross Vogan and Clara visited on Saturday with their parents, Rev. and Mrs, W.

ROOM FOR EXPANSION There's plenty of room for expansion in one specialized appliance field: electric tooth- brushes. Seems researcher Dr. R.A. Heiser of New Jersey did a continent -wide survey to see how many people brushed bet- ter electrically. The biting conclusion: 40 per cent of us don't use toothbrushes:of any kind. At about the site time, the American Dental Associ- ation said the novelty of elec- trical scrubbing could help small fry develop a good habit Business and Professional Directory AMBULANCE SERVICE CALL — S.
