Heart of Huron County R. S. ATKEY • • - A, L. 'COLQUHOUN Editor I Plant Manager THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 4948 DANGER! WATCH OUT FOR CHILDREN! Iis back -to -school time—the most dangerous 'and*deadly time of the year for Ontario's children. In the steadily increasing traffic on streets and highways, this is the period of greatest danger. Last September, more children were killed and in- jured by motor cars in Ontario; than in any other month. Always, at this time of the year, the number of tragic child accidents in traffic begins to soar. But this is as needaless as many of the accidents were needless which killed 4.32 children, and injured .2;000 others in Ontario last year. The provincial traffic safety campaign, sponsored by the Department of Highways, acid now supported by the press, radio, and many official and public agencies, shows clear evi- dence of success in reducing traffic accidents generally. But where children are concerned, teaching the rules of traffic: safety and giving parental advice is not enough. All the safety measures and laws we can devise will never relieve the motorist of hit responsibility. Marry of the accidents involving child- ren are no doubt the children's fault, legally; but that does not relieve the motorist of moral blame. The onus is always on the motorist to look out for children. Only the motorist's personal caution and driving care can lessen the toll. While driving, every motorist should ' arm himself with these personal -admonitions and cautionings: 1. Pll consider every child i see on the street as a human danger signal. 2. In school zones or residential areas, I'll slow down, Pil .come to the alert. 3. Wherever I suspect children may be playing, 111 drive with extra care. 4. 1'1.1 keep clear of bicycles. The youthful- riders may know the rules, but even when they violate them I must watch out for them. 5. i11 be particularly careful when I see children on roller skates, with a ball, with tricycles, scooters or coaster wagons. 0 0 0 OUR DIMINSHING RESOURCES . . Somebody is always warning Canadians that they are using up their natural resources faster than they "-replace them or find substitutes. And somebody else is always saying it isn't so. What are you and 1—John Q. Public—supposed to take as gospel truth? Frequently, the warnings usually crime from people or organizations whose chief duty it is to take cool, hard, and, if need be, unpleasant looks a long way ,ahead, and who have no stake inwhether a prediction of scarcity chases users from one product to another. The Ontario Reforestation and Conservation Com- mission' belongs in this "category. When the conservationists like Hon. E. C. Drury, former premier of Ontario, warn that ganadrans are draining their forests much faster than they are being replaced by growth, and advocate intensive reforestation of ctft-over areas, then we should listen and the newspapers. Should so inforfn the public. Why? Because with the postponement and dievastatt- '" ions of war, and with the tremendous demands of a postwar boom, the pressure on such national resources is' terrific, and likely to continue so. Because, with postwar weariness with and reaction ;against restraints dulling watchfulness, the quick - profit exploiters might have a field day which could cause our beloved Canada irreparable loss. Can anything be done about it? The conservationists reiterate that Canada has enough timber resources to supply its needs indefinitely if its forests are managed as are crops. But the lumberman or the farmer who may want very mtich to "farm" his timber would be driven to "mining" it more than he is by the competition of get -rich -quick operators, were if not fo rthe careful control of timbering in the national forest area..:. '^"", -,e•' :'aa 1 ..:,...• " •,:i, +: 11:;s it is obvious • there lure many loopholes in our pre- sent system of supervision.' We trust that conservation offic- ials are "on 'their toes" to protect the interests of John Q. Public, even if • Mr. Public himself sometimes is rather late in looking after his own interests.

O 0 .0 Thought for To-day—Face your deficiencies and acknowledge them, but do not let them master you. Let them teach you patience, sweetness, insight.

O 0 0 Lack of funds again has caused Clinton Town Counolt to take action fax short of what ,is really needed with regard to road surfacing in town and has recommended that the Ontario Department of Highways re -surface with blacktop, only its own 20 feet width on King's Highways 4. and 8 through the town, leaving the rest undone. . Faced with the same problem, Exeter Council through Thomas Pryde, MLA for Huron, met Hon. G. H. Douceti, Minister of Highways on Tuesday,' and a satisfactory arrangement, beneficial to Exeter, is being worked out. Clinton Town Council might well look into this solution of the problem. NEW 0. A.

New Officials Assume Duties D. E. Holmes, K.C., newly ap- pointed magistrate, took his place on the bench at Goderich Thurs- day afternoon last for the first time. Despite his long experience as Crown attorney, he modestly confessed to feeling "as nervous as can be". Frank Donnelly, K.C., extend- ed congratulations to the new magistrate. "It is very, very sel- dom a man is appointed magis- trate in the Province who has had such a varied experience as a practising lawyer and as Crown attorney,' he said, During Mr. Holmes' tenure of office as Crown attorney, Mr, Don- nelly added, it was his privilege to appear in cases prosecuted by Mr. Holmes, "You were never harsh, nor vindictive, and always fair in your prosecutions. The County has lost a fair and capable Crown attorney, and you bring to your new position a wide experience of seventeen and a -half years." Mr. Donnelly also felicitated Mr. Holmes' successor as Crown attorney, H. Glenn Hays, Seaforth "The people of Huron county are to be congratulated on the ap- pointment of Mr. Hays, who is well qualified for the position," said Mr. Donnelly. Mr. Hays added his good wishes for the new magistrate and said he concurred in all that Mr. Don- nelly had said regarding him. Mr. Holmes expressed his thanks. In congratulating Mr. Hays, he predicted the latter would be as efficient a Crown at- torney as could be wished. His Worship concluded by promising that he would not be harsh in his judgments on the bench. J. K. Hunter, junior member of the bar of Huron, added his fel- icitations to both the magistrate and the Crown attorney. "I al- ways felt gratefril'that you were at my right hand when I appeared in court as defence counsel," he told Magistrate Holmes. Great Record Made By Canadian Holstein Only a very select group of Canadian cows have ever made yearly butterfat records' exceed.- ing 1,200 lbs. of butterfat. The latest addition tothis group is Selling Royal Wing, a purebred Holstein owned by Albert Selling. Ehnira, whose production of 1,219 lbs, fat from 28,505 lbs, milk was made in 365 days on three times= a -day milking under the super- vision of the Federal Department of Agriculture. This is the third highest three, times -a -day milking record ever made .by' a Canadian Holstein, being exceeded only by the World Record of 1,268 lbs. fat made by Montvie Rag Apple Colantha Abbekerk at Mount Victoria Farms, Hudson Heights, Quebec, in 1941 and the 1,257 lbs, butter- fat made last year by Amulree; Baroness Pietje owned by Rock- wood Holsteins, St. Norbert, Man- itoba. Only one U. S. Holstein has exceeded "Wing's" record, this being Pebble Beach Veda Secunda with a record of 1;227 lbs. fat. i Bay, and Edgar East at Oshawa • . .
