buds and should be pruned after
flowering so as to encourage growth
of the individual twigs 'by removing
the older wood and the suckers at the
base of the shrubs.
The Japanese Barberry requires
only to be .pruned so that the long-

not cause the bushes to be unsightly.
When 'branches became Ionger than
required, cit them back, which will
have the effect of making the sinal'
twigs start out below the ;rut.
Forsythia (Golden Bells) need a
yearly pruning to keep it within
bound's and to preserve a natural but
not .a wild appearance.
The following shrubs should be
pruned when their blossoms fade:—

ONTARIO
DEPARTMENT OF HIGHWAYS
MOTOR VEHICLES BRANCH.
AN OPEN LETTER:
to the 13,060 motorists
who killed or injured ,8,33
men, women and children.
ion the highways
of Ontario last year
If you are one of those who know the rules of safe driving and
obey them, thank you; this message is not for you.
If you are a driver who has helped to swell the total of deaths and
injuries to the disgraceful figure shown above, take full note!
Because of your selfishness, your wilful neglect or thoughtlessness;
or perhaps because you think you know better than anyone else how
to drive a car and insist upon making your own rules, the lives of 502
citizens of Ontario were snuffed out in twelve months time. During the
same period 8,231 were injured, scarred; some of these will never walk
again. Among your victims were 8S3 childrenplaying in the street!
Do you think this kind of driving is worth while? Do you think
you are entitled to a license to drive? If one of these victims had
been your child, your brother, sister, father, mother, or even a friend,
would you accept the excuse that the offender's brakes failed, that
the pavement was slippery, that he failed to give a proper signal, or
just took some kind of .a chance or another? Could you find any
excuse for him?
Driving a car brings more pleasure and convenience to more
people than perhaps any other modern utility. The highways de-
partment knows this. No Province has been more thoughtful and
generous in seeking to add to this pleasure and convenience. But you,
the unsafe driver, are, nullifying the effect of all that has been done.
You are making every street and highway unsafe for both pedestrians
and other drivers. You are a menace to the aged, the infirm and to
little children.
To educate you in the rules, to appeal to your sense of fair play, to
show you how your recklessness imperils your own'life and property,
as well as that of others, this department has gone to great lengths.
Thepress, the schools,' the radio—all have been utilized in an effort to
curb unsafe driving—and the campaign is being continued this year.
What are you going to do about it? Remember you are responsible
only for your own acts. If. the other fellow takes chances, let him.
But if you, now that the heavy driving season is at hand, will do some
common sense thinking, if you will 1pt your sense of fair play govern
your driving this season, if you never forget that by driving safely
you can help to protect the life and property of every citizen of
Ontario, then this department will have a different, happier story to
tell a year hence.
Toronto, June 15th, 1933.
