our own follies."
He pointeg oat.' that last year
'fire,, macaw:Dille and casualty ina
swatted companies paid out more
than $425 , million to reimburse
Catiadians involved in • accidents
and misfortunes.
He said that while fire lesses
still 'claimed a large proportion of
the total insurance bill, a,utomobile
claims now hold first place.
Pointing to nubile apathy re-
garding the danger of increasing
autotnobile accidents, he said -that
accidents per ,1,000 vehicles had
&cabled since 1949 and had reach-
ed a ,Peak of 10 accidents per
thousand vehicles last year. •
Every year more than 3;00 per-
the.,eqtlivaleat of three, army.
'battalions, are killen on Canadian
highways. Mr .Harris said that 10 -
day AO, per n ent of most accident;
And mishaps are caused ny"ntunan
.,no mechanical failure or.

. 'Tor example" he said, ainvegti-
gation shows that ame-third of the
fire logs in Canada is, caused by
careless smoking habits," Fires, Mr
Harrie said, continued to be reepon-
sible for the deaths of more than
'500 Canadians each year, and about
$90 million in claims, •'
The appreciation ef the club•was
extended by Lion Harley Crawford
who ably exprehsed the thoughts
of ' all present when lie referred
to the chilling surprise one feels

50th Anniversary
Of Rural Delivery
.`)Vitout 600,000 ,families arid the
Post Office Department celebrate
a special birthday on October 10th.
Canada's first , rural route was
placed in operation on that date in
1908, between. Hamilton and An -
caster, Ontario, introducing ' a
postal service whereby country
dwellers had their mail delivered
to their,homes.
• The contractor on R.R, 1, Ham-
ilton, •the official name of the
pioneer, wended his way for 7
miles from Hamilton to, Aatcaater,
Ontario, ana returned, each day
aerving householders along the
route of travel. •
When .the system was introduceca
it was confined to exiting stage
roates, but strong daims were
made by those on other roads with'
the result that by 1912 under aim-
ilrlatarlaregalIttleas, all Para031.54
siding along well defined _roads
over a mile long becalne eligible
for rural mail delivery. Another
advantage Was that Rural Route
courier a were ,permitted to sell
postage stamps, take applications
and accept money for, Money
Orders and Postal Notes. By No-
vember of that year, over 25,000
boxes were being served •on 900
routes. •
Over the years, the number of
calls has continued to increase and
on almost all country relies the
horse and buggy has now been re-
placed by an automobile, A few
hours travel by car •covers a route
which required a• day to complete
formerly. As happened in the case
,of the original service, some rural
routes are the forerunners of letter
carrier •delivery as Canadian cities
continue to expand, In 1951, in an
effort to provide mail service to
isolated groups of families on the
Newfounclland coast, several "War
ter Routes" were started. They
