Grade two. Two people are away

boy with the German Measles.
Hurry and get well soon!
An insect collection has been
the main interest 'of the grade

collection of lady bugs, spiders,
caterpillars and many more odd
things. Many children have been
building cages to go along with
the insects. v
This week in Miss O'Brien's
room they have been drawing
and making things on the moon
shot. Continue the good work!

Joan Baez held the audience transfixed when she appeared as the top attraction at -this summer's
Mariposa Folk Festival on_Toronto Island. She is one of the many fine artists who will be seen and
heard when CBC television presents Mariposa: A Folk Festival, Sunday, Sept. 28 (9:00 - 10:00 p.m.
EDT, in color). The hour-long program is an attempt to capture the atmosphere of the festival, not a
formally structured concert.

DANGEROUS LOADS
To the editor:
Smashed windshields and
other damage to cars has been
reported recently from areas
heavily used by gravel trucks. In
spite of police surveillance many
trucks are loaded and/or driven
in such a way that gravel flies
off, threatening damage to otDer
vehicles, and serious injury to
cyclists and pedestrians.
`Even if a truck is loaded
carefully, and apparently legally, -
there cans be no - guarantee
against certain materials .flying
loose, unless the load is totally
enclosed. A sudden bump can
send pebbles flying high from
the floor -or-sides-- of a -dimly
truck: A gust of wired can pick a
sheet of metal from a truck load
of scrap, and send it knifing
through the air.
A member of Parliament tells
us he proposes to ask the
Ontario Department of
Transport to bring in new
regulations requiring loads of
loose material such as gravel and
sand to be covered and secured
by tarps. He has invited the
Ontario Safety League to
support this move.
Mandatory covers would put
the truck operators to some
expense and trouble. But it
seems certain that it would
reduce the danger arid expense
to other road users; and it would
help to- free policee effort for
other areas of traffic
enforcement. We would very
much appreciate hearing from
any of your readers who have
views about the introduction of
such a regulation. It would be
particularly helpful to have
details—of any recent cases of
personal injury or extensive
damage arising from gravel or
other material flying off loaded
trucks. •
