Here are some tips from the federal health department pub- lication, Canadian Mother and Child, on what' you can do to prevent falls: 1. Keep the stairs free of objects which can cause you to fallwhile carrying the baby. Keep one hand free to grasp the handrail. Put a gate at the top and bottom of the stairs to confine baby to a safe pan of the house. 2. Don't allow the childrep to sit or stand on window sills. 3. Never leave a baby alone on a bed, couch or table for even a moment without a bar- rier to keep him fro. m rolling off, 4. Buy a high chair with a broad base between the legs so it will not tip over if baby is wiggling, or select a low table - type variety. 5. Above all, don't take it for granted that baby cannot climb this chair or cannot teach that window or cannot turn the cellar doorknob. He is learn- ing all the time. Try to keep one jump ahead of him in as- suring hissafety.

Changes in Traffic Act effective Monday Continued from Page One ..shocking disrespect for the traf- fic laws. " As an 'example of the stiffer fines, Mr. Haskett mentioned the new minimum fine for a careless driving conviction. For an offence occurring previous to September 1, the minimum was $10. For an offence occurring after September 1, the mini- mum .is $100. The maximum fine of $500 remains. Other amendments which be- came effective on September 1. include: The rule of the road concern- ing stopping for stopped school buses has been c la r i f l ed • by changing "divided highway" to "median strip". Traffic meet- ing a school bus which is stop- ped with red signal lights flash- ing, is not required to stop on a highway with a median strip. A median strip is defined as a strip of pavement of more than 10 feet in width, or a physical bar- rier or an unpaved , s trip of ground. Two offences have been add - ed for which the police may ar- rest without warrant: failure to remain at the scene of an acci- dent, and failure to provide correct name and address when a driver's licence cannot be pro- duced. Power of arrest has been eliminated for three other of- fences: improper position of li- cence plates on vehicles, fail- ure to notify the Department of Transport of a ch an g e in ve- hicle ownership or a change of address within'six days. Optometrists are required to report patients with vision con- ditions that could make driving dangerous. Stopping for emergency ve hicles: • formerly, stopping as closely as possible to the right hand side of the road was only required when an ambulance, fire or police vehicle was sound- ing a bell or siren. This has now been extended to also in- clude an ambulance, fire or police vehicle that is flashing a red light on the roof. The new laws are among nearly 100 amendments to the Highway Traffic Act passed by the Ontario Legislature earlier this year. The amendments are being put into effect in three stagg... some beca,ne effective on June 9, 1969, and one requiring. accidents to be • reported to police where there is personal injury involved or property darnage exceeds $200 instead of the present $100, be- , comes effective on January 1, 1970.
