S. ATKEY - - - - - Editor and Publisher THURSDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1947 MORE CAUTION URGED ON ROADS IN FALL MONTHS TRAFT( C accidents in Ontario took Me lives of 88 per- sons in September, according to a summary of news- paper reports on traffic faltaliti'es. Last month's accident "death toll was Me worst September since 1940 when 92 were killed on ' Ontario's streets and highways. High though these figures are, they are still (below expectations (based on the huge expansion this sunnner of bath resident and tourist traffic in this province. Department of Highhlwaiys figures show that up to the end of August this year, there were. 11.3% more motor vehicles registered than for the same period last year; 5.2% more drivers. It is estimated that 17% more cairn travelled the highways this summer than that of last year. The huge August influx of 1LS. cars on. tourist per - milts, totalling nearly a million at 'customs entry pointsand exceeding 'OnVari'o's own registration of 753,795 vehicles, carried over well into ;September because of the fine weather. On Highway No. 2, the following poinrts were dtieeked for the average daily traffic this September as compared to last September: Locaation 1946 1947 East of :London 5,028 West of London 4,818 East of Chatham . 1,983 6,334 4,943 2,447 West of Hamilton ... , 2,507 3,2,69 North of Brantford .. 2,383 2,992 The above increases are considered fairly ,represen- taltive of the heavier trarffie volume 'throughout the entire province in Septemlber. In ,September this year, there were an unusual number of traffic aceidentbs in each of wlhi'oh several per- sons were killed. The August motor vehicles fatalities this year, while totalling 83 deaths, was !still (below the 98 dearth. total of August 1941, when traffic, nvimber of resident motor vehicle's and tourist cars were considerably less. Traffic fatalities in Ontario in ;the first nine months of this year totalled 486 as compared with 453 for the same period, last year. While the increase in traffic deatths is not proporti'onaite to the increase in motor vabidies, new drivers and other conditions that contribute to acci'de'nt hazards, it is a grin warning that more' care and com- mon sense must be used by all who use the public thorough. fares. In Ontario's peak year for (traffic 'accidents, 1941, the death toll was 553 for the first nine months. Highways Minister George Doucett again warns both motorists 'and pedestrians to 'be especially caref to this coming Thanksgiving (holiday, and points out that this final holiday (before Christmas will likely see a record number of cars on the road. 0 0 O EDITORIAL COMMENT THOUGHT FOR TO -DAY - Lettuce is like con- versation: it must be freah and crisp, so sparkling that you scarcely notice the bitter in it. © 0 The protracted strike 'of Oanadlau packinghouse employees ils avery serious threat to the agricultural in- terests of :the nation.

"They Were Mistaken" (By "One of the Old Boys") On .Monday morning, September 29,' when no sign of life was seen around the residence of Samuel Kemp, Ontario St., it was, felt certain that he had died sometime during the night. Sherlock -Manning Pianos, Limited, Where iMr. Kemp is employ- ed,' was notified' and his card was marked deceased. Neighbours tried to break into his home. Mach to ev- eryone's amazement, MT. Kemp was able to, be at work on Mond n' ay a€ter- nooand to rept that he had spent a very pleasant week -end in London. One man on hearing about this little incident has written Ache follow- ing poem about it: The man is dead: At least the gossips gaud— And just to make the matter worse, They pried the Whinges off; of course, And found him dead in, bed. VW so .•they said, 'some time. had passed Since they had seen the old man last. There was not a single trace Of anyone about the place. Re .nay, perhaps, be gassed. The story that 'the gossips .built Pierced everybodly, to the hilt, The story of the wealth he'd left And all the friends he'd left bereft. ;Made all his cronies' wilt, • 'Tis Monday morning, . not at work; The man was never known to shirk, That made the story look so true, And everyone was feeling blue And quiet, like in kirk. His bib ,ancl tucker on the bench Lay still beside the monkey wrench 'Die black machine he worked so well }lad many a story it Wright tell As well as oily stench. ,And many a hand its quarter gave Te try a lovely road to pave With flowers so beautiful and rare, Arranged in rows with perfect care, To lay ;upon his grave. • But just at noon the story flopped, For in to work the dead man pepped. You'd never (mow he had ;been, dead, 'His hands were ,clean, his face yeas red, And hair so neatly cropped. All thro' 'the 'shop there went the bawl The 'old team isn't dead' at all, With one consent they all agree He is a good • fellow, he, Glad he didn't get the call. Dig things from small beginnings grow, That is the way with stories -so Don't dela 'em bill you are mighty sure They may true; and now you've gat the cure For malty in •wines that blow.

Keeps Pay Envelopes F,:DI PLEASE DON'T WASTE IT! Electric power is yital to Industry, and Ontario is experiencing an era of high production, urtparal- leled in its history.. Contrary to expectations, the demand for electric power did not drop sharply following the war. More electric power is actually .being used today for production of peacetime goods than was required at any time to forge weapons for Victory. This demand is constantly increasing and, during the next six months, Hydro facilities, will be strained to she utmost. New Hydro developments, planned to keep pace with Ontario's growth, were halted during the war years. They have since been hampered by . shortages of men, materials and equipment. However many new stations to deliver electric power are being rushed to completion: Some are already in operation. But the need for saving electric power in your own home, during the Fall and Winter months, is urgent if the needs of Industry and. Agriculture are to be fully served and employment maintained at peak levels. Won't you please play your part? Remember— even a little bit of electricity, conserved by hun- dreds of thousands, helps a lot. It's your Hydro. Use it wisely so that Hydro facilities can more adequately meet the demands of all, consumers: THE' HYDRO -ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION E Clip out and retain for reference Here are a few ways you can ..gave ELECTRICITY Turn off all unnecessary lights. Don't forgot about burning lights In empty teams, halls, basement, attic, porch and garage. Eliminate all colored bulbs. Keeplamps, reflectors and shades clean. Dusty fixtures waste_ as ranch as 25% of your light. When kettle sings, turn off switch. Stored heat will bring it to a full boil. Keep kettle free from lime. When cooking, use "High" heat for as little tame as possible, Then turn to "Low" and use stored heat. Use ovon for cooking complete meads, rather than the cooking surface. Only one clement- is required for the oven process while three or four elements tic needed for the cooking[ surface. Use the correct aim of cooking utensil on the proper size element.. When cocking vegetables, use a minimum amount of water. Defrost refrigerator,regularl1., when h inch of. frost hes accumulated on the. evaporator.
