To Kevin Ball Clinton Pam Carter R.R. No. 4 Clinton Dennis Roy Varna A PLACE FOR KIDS Whoops! Do you walk into walls, trip over stair4, fall o down and spill your milk' Perhaps you slide off chairs, step into puddles. and poke yourself in the eye. Are you 'accident prone' There are several surefire ways of knowing whether or not you're accident prone People who are tend to have a lot of bruises. That's because they fall down a lot Look al your legs — how many bruises do you have^ Tons? Ah, then there's a hint People who are accident prone seem to spend a lot of time on the ground. Not that they want to, it just ends up that way Do you spend a lot time lying on the ground? How many times a day do you plop down? About ten' There's another hint. Do you find that every time you pour a glass of milk you end up cleaning the table? Or, once you've poured the milk, you always spill it? Acci- dent prone people have to tidy up after them- selves a lot On March 31 April 1 April 2 ne stop being accident prone? How can some people walk without falling? Some people have accidents because they're in a hurry. When people are in a rush, their bodies get confused These people would have. fewer bruises if they slowed down. They wouldn't have to clean up so many messes if they did things slowly Other people have accidents just because they do. These people aren't in a hurry at all They've been known to fall down while standing perfectly still. Plop, just like that Usually these accidents happen when there are lots of people around, like in movie lineups These people get laughed at. There's nothing much these accident prone people can do except laugh and say "whoops'" If you are accident prone you probably don't want to be. Bruises hurt, falling down looks silly, and cleaning up messes is boring. But how does THE PLANNING ACT NOTICE OF THE PASSING OF A ZONING BY-LAW BY THE CORPORATION OF THE TOWN OF CLINTON,.
