ATKEY - - - - - - "Editor and Publisher THURSDAY, AUGUST 28, 1947 -. TRAFFIC SAFETY WARNING FOR LABOR DAY WEEK -END EATH worked overtime on Labor Day hol'ida'y east year, Hilgh'w'alys Minister Flan. George H. Doucetlt points out rim a safety appeal to holiday motorists and pedestrians to "take it easy" over the coming week- end. "There were fifteen traffic 'accident deaths in the provdilvee during the Labor Day (week -end Ia'st year," Mr. Dou'cetit stapes. "That fact alone should be enough to re- mind all motorists and pedestrians to 'bake extra care. Throughout the yea^ there. was an average of one motor accident death every 13 hours; but ie. that !three-day boli - day period ut this time last year the average was a death about every five hours." 'The Labor Day week -end, coming at the end of the summer traffic peak is almost always a bad period for traffic accidents in Ontario. Thousands of people are out marking use 'of the last of the summer holidays. Very Marge numbers of our American visitors are driving back to their homes, 'and finally, more than half a million of the province's children are having their last 'carefree fling be- fore school lsbarts again. "Ontario's record of only one fatal accident over the August Civic Holiday week -end, despite the very large volume of itraaafie at that time, was the gratifying result of 'care ,and caution by motorists and pedestrians alike. Labor Day aec'deits can also be reduced by a united effort," O 0 0 URGENT NEED OF WORKERS IN FARM SERVICE CAMPS WITH the re-openling of Ontario secondary schools at the begin'nin'g of September, an urgent need for additional workers to full up the Ontario Farm Ser- vice Force catnaps for the balance of the harvest season has become an immed55ate problem. These camps, from which workers ,go out into the harvest fields in theifr immediate 'viiellaity, are essential to provide a pool of labor to bring he the ,orops as 4hey mature, and the next two months will be critical in this respect, especially in the fruit and voge- t'able areas. with secondary school students leaving .the camps at the beginning of September, there will be an immediate need for young men and young women to replace (them. It is estitn'Cd" that within the next few weeks, 400 young women and 250 young men will 'be required, and many of these oan be oaken into the camps at once. There will be a partecullarly urgent need of young men to start work in the oamps between September 5 and 15. Mex Miaclaren, director of the Ontario Farm Ser- viee Force, 0bhrows out the suggestion that possibly a large number of sons and daughters of fanners might be available to go into these farm service camps as soon as their Own harvest requirements are ended, and he believes this might the a fruitful source of assistance. Farm young people, with experience in harvesting work, would be a godsend to those short of help, and they can very readily be placed in one of the camps which. are now short of workers. Young men and women from the towns and cities who can spare 'a month or more of their time to work in the harvest fields have an opportunity of earning good wages while at this work, 'and of living in the comfortable and healthy atmosphere of' the Farm Service Force camps. `liheir isetvioes were never needed More urgently than at 'the present time, and volunteers for this work will be welcomed. Applications should be made at once to Alex Mac- laren, Ontario Farm Service Force, 9 Richmond St. East, Toronto, or by telephone to Adelaide 9461. O 0 EDITORIAL COMMENT THOUGHT FOR TODAY — There is nothing so skilful in its own defence as iniperilous pride. 0' 0 0 BEST of luek to Clinton Colts in their quest for the Huron Perth Baseball League tittle and the Intermedi- ate 'alte "C" channpioznship of Ontario! O 0 0 FIRE PREVENTION Week has been set aside from Sunday, October 5, to Saturday, October 11, in a pro'cil'a- inatUlon publddhed in The (Canada Gazette. It should be a geed time for everyone to take stock of fire hazards, of wthieh many exist in 'Clinton and district. . 0 0 0 TWO "big days" in Clinton over the week -end --- the annual motorcycle q'aces on Saturday, August 30, and the ,annual Labor Day celebration on Monday, September 1 — 'both underthe sponsorship of Clinton Board of. Park Management. 0 0 0 THE local baseball team is still in the running for the championship of 'Ontario, and the crowds of spec- tators have been getting larger and larger every game, especially the last few. In view of this facet, isn't it time something was done to provide radii aienal seating taecenn- inodaitun for the baseball dans? If more preteantious ones are not available, then old-fashioned benches might be of considerable use. oda THE big "break" in the weather, which came shortly aster midnight Monday, 'with rain continuing all through the night, was most welcome after the long, hot dry spell which tasted, .almost unabated, for three weeks. Tih.e change came 'beewuse of the fact that cooler, less humid 'air pushed to the so ttibern boundary of On- tario, bringing the heat wave to an end. Strangely enough, while Clinton weather was stifling, en Sunday, a violent els al storm was taking place in the Toronto area Mid rain fellfor more than en hour !I1t Lcadon, Sunset Time and Signal Bank Bayfield There's a well beaten path to the brow of this. !rill where folks .all fore- gather to watch faithful "Sol" spill a fortune of gold and a rainbow of hues as he gallantly bids daytime re- luctant adieus. To measure the Iife-span of this hillside delight wound be just as simple as to count stars at night for long before •Bayfield accepted the name God gave this hilltop for the pleasure of man. Ebel, foot print is precious, Each 'voice that is still gave his measure of gratitude to God for .this gift— Signal Hill and it will ever be sacred to those who remain of the ICinfoil, who proudly count Bayfield their home. It is more of a shrine for many who know of the little white sail boats of long, long ago when vigils were kept and hearts anxiously yearned for storms to subside and loved ones return. How often in glee the children 'would run to watch Mr. G—i'uo up the storm signal drum then vie with each other bhe farthest to reach and touch the cliff snvallow nests along the clay - ridge. Ali me' -but this hilltop has gradually changed. Cottages now obliterate the one long -vista range when one used to feast on a broad panoramic sight of river, lake, for- est, and birds In their flight. Yet despite all the changes that man chose to make ,there is one thing that memory will never -forsake `Tis the bit of dear old Bayfield high up on a hill where folks still foregather and it's called Signal Hill.
