In a letter to school children, Hon. George H. Doucett, Minister of Highways for Ontario, points out that there are more cars and trucks being driven during the summer time and therefore ac- cidents are more likely. In an open letter to parents, Mr. Doucett points out that par- ents and grown ups generally can prevent many accidents by their own good example and influence. Road accidents in Ontario, the Highways Department bulletin points out, kill or injure 560 school aged children in an average sum- mer. A total of 204 children are killed or injured on foot, 55 of whom are involved. in accidents by coming out from behind a parked vehicle or object.

Phone 489 injure 138 children yearly. Thirty- seven of such accidents are caused by the rider losing control or swerving into a passing vehicle, while 35 are caused by the rider entering a street without stopping. Each year also, 218 children die or are injured in,,motor vehicle accidents which the drivers -most- ly parents, brothers and sisters and friends - could have prevented. Right-angle collisions at intersec- tions cause death or injury to 74. while cars leaving the road or hitting a fixed object cause 58 deaths or injuries. Tnis summer many accidents can be avoided if parents and children follow safety rules. For the par- ents' part, they can set a good ex- ample in safety for children, drive carefully and watch for quick, un- expected actions of children riding bicycles or playing near the road. And drivers who have children rid- ing with ,them have the best pos- sible reason for driving with extra care, courtesy and common sense. COMPLAINANTS ABSENT, CHARGES DISMISSED Because two men who preferred charges against him failed to ap- pear in court, Philip •Willis, of Goderich, heard the charges dis- missed last Thursday by Magistrate D. E. Holmes, Q.C. Willis was charged with unlaw- fully damaging an automobile be- longing to Victor Ford, of Owen Sound and of assaulting Roy Ford, also of Owen Sound. The court was told that the two complainants had been •served notice to appear in court as Crown witnesses. The charges arose out of an altercation on June 7 at the 'Goderich waterfront.

'Robin Defies Eviction From Trailer Home A sassy robin who defied eviction from her home in a Fruehauf trailer really "gummed up the works" at the Toronto sales branch of the trailer company this spring. The trailer was bought by Huart Transport of Toronto. This com- pany hauls fruit and bought this used 'red "gravity -tandem" Fruehauf a short while ago. But, when Huart went to take delivery, to the con- sternation of both the Fruehauf and Huart companies they found this robin busily engaged in hatching a new brood under the trailer. Just to show that.truckerslive up to their reputation for kind- heartedness and perhaps superstition, delivery was delayed until. this big 32 -foot unit capable of carry 20 tons was freed of its feathered boarder. Octogenarian Accepts d The Challenge Although it took a dare to doh it, Henry J. Kerr, Huron road, took over the job of a harness race horse driver at Agricultural Park, despite the 'fact that he is in his 82nd year. An ardent railbird, he is fre- quently at Agricultural Park in the evenings watching the horses train. His son, Ken Kerr, has a race horse. The other evening some one kidded him he would be afraid to drive "Mac I Direct," one of Dr. George Elliott's horses. The oc- togenarian accepted the challenge and drove the horse around the track six times. "I never drove a race horse before, said Mr. Kerr, "although I've handled many a wild horse on my farm in bygone years." 1•111M10•11111111•1•M•11•111111•1111.1111moome.. via You caN'tqo> ALLooT: IF you feel These days most people work under presspre, worry more, sleep less.
