Leading Cause of Motor
Accidents
Leading -Cause-of Motor Accidents
,Twenty-three persons . were injur-
ed and property . damage estimated
at $4,000 resulted from motor acci-
dents ,:over the week -end in Western •
Ontario. Nine of these were 'injur-
ed in a two -car accident near -Hen-
sail, ' which brings it pretty nearly
home to us.
There must be some cause for the
alarming • increase in motor acci•
-
dents. What is it? Much- has been
said and written about the danger.. of
driving old cars and poor tires, the
result of the scarcity .of new ones.
arising 'out of the war and labor.
strikes. •
Still .more has been.said and writ-
ten
about the drunken. drivers. Un-
doubtedly'
n-doubtedly' both these contribute to
"the cause, but a survey. -of m.oto.r ac-
eidents in Canada shows conclusive-
ly that neither separately nor joint-
Iy, do they play any leading part in
the lamentably mounting death and
injury record of motor accidents.
This survey shows. that during
last year a total of 1,616 persons
were killed and- 30,576 seriously in-
jured in 57,810 accidents, which in-
volved motor ears, trucks, motor- •
cycles, bicycles, streetcars, railways
and pedestrians on the -streets, roads
and highways of Canada.
Property damage to cars and per-
sonal`belongings of the victims of
these accidents is estimated at con-
siderably more than $11,000,000.
Figures from Ontario, which- pro-
vinee possibly represents. more of all
kinds of motor driving, show that
for January,, February and March .,of
this year, both the accident and dam-
. age rates • are rising rapidly. In these
three months of 1947, total accidents
increased by 28.1 per cent. over the •
same period ofthe preceding year,
and damages- increased by 65.1 per
cent., while the 1946 figures for the'
either provinces in • the Dominion are
away above those • of 1945.
From the Provinces of Ontario,
Manitoba, British Columbia, and the
Maritimes, which keep the most . de-
tailed record of motor accidents,
`some facts have been conclusively
proven. One is that drivers involv-
ed in most of the fatal and serious
accidents were between the ages of
25 and 40 years. Another was that
they were all experienced drivers, in
good health and physical; condition,
and the majority of such accidents
took place on straight roads or high-
ways, or at •street intersections, and
in broad daylight. •
Drinking or drunken drivers ac-
counted for only a "very small pro-
portion of the total recorded acci
dents.
The survey shows clearly and con-
clusively that • it is the reckless,
careless, impatient, bad-mannered
and inattentive drivers that are the
main factors in causing . serious
motor accidents, and far surpass the
factors of either inexperience or in-
toxication, or of defects in motor
cars and roads.
The survey also shows that pedes-
. trians will else—have to , take some
share of the blame, although in much
lesser degree. But even if the pedes- •
Irian, does sometimes disobey: traffic
signals and street signs, that does
-not give the driver of a car or truck . .
any, right to kill him.
There is a meaning, however, in
the Ontario records, when they show
that.the largest number, 84,'pf pedes-
trians killed were those 65 years of
age and over. They had- lived the
greater part of their lives before the
„ ,motor age and failed to realize the
Speed" and danger of motor traffic.
But now the ' authorities have
' fo`wd. the main' cam of the rapidly
xnereasing death toff' on .ottr- roads
and highways, they must find a
;dy, and that without delay. S ar
clothing has been. achieved by sus-
pension of driving licenses or by fines
and jail, sentences.

Have You. Seen Them?
Have you seen the miraculous
saucers flying across .the sky that
have been agitating the people of
the United States and quite a few in
Canada in recent weeks?
If not, and you.,re in any way in-
terested, we would ask you to read
the following: Last week Professor
F. S. Cotton, of Sydney University,
Australia, conducted a • "flyinesau-
cers" experiment.
After discussing with his students
American reports on "flying sau-
cers," he led his class of 450 students
into the open air and told them to
look at the clear sky and to concen-
trate their gaze on a fixed point
while standing perfectly still.
Within ten minutes 22 students re-
ported they had seen . bright oval-
shaped objects which moved rapidly,
sometimes following each, other in a
line, sometimes • resembling ' each
in a line, and sometimes resembling
a string of pearls.
Professor Cotton then explained
that the students saw exactly what
he expected them to see—namely, the'
red corpuscles of the blood passing
in front of the retina.
• •
No Servant Question There'
The United States Army Head-
quarters . at Frankfort, Germany,
has ruled that an American family
, in Germany may have only one
housemaid at the expense, of the
German people.
If an American wants more than
one maid he mustpay her wages
himself..—_ -iii dollars too, ncit German
marks. .
The cost of one maid per family,
the announcement explained, is 'leg-
ally chargeable against Germany as
occupation cost.
Other domestic servants may be
employed if desired, but the employ-
er must pay the Army the cost of
their wages in dollars. The Army
then will pay the extra servants in
marks.
No hardship in that, we would
say. In Ontario it takes something
more than either -dollars or marks to
get any home help. Just think what
fun our women would have trying to
decide on whether to haveone or
two maids.
But our government is getting
more charitable all the time. After
it has retired us all from work at the
age of 50, and,, of course, with a liv-•
ing pension (and it seems to be real-
ly working hard to that •end),, per-
haps it will do something for the
women.
Once Is Not The Limit.
There is an old saying; and one
pretty generally believed in too, that'
lightning never strikes twice in the
same place. It is not true, of course,'
but try and shake people's faith in
it.
On Sunday there was an electric
Storm in the Listowel . district, -:just
to the north of us. And during that
storm a district farmer had the un-
usual as well as the unpleasant ex-
perience of having his . premises
struck four times during that storm.
First a large, elm tree was .:struck
and the next bolt struck another elm
tree . a few yards•, away. Then the
lightning rods on 'his barn were
struck, and although the barn was
not damaged, the lightning ran down
a 'rod and killed a cow.
That was followed by a bolt that
struck the side of the house and put
the telephone out of commission.
Fortunately the lightning bolts did
not result in a single fire. ,
Lightning is no respector of per-
sons and places—and don't you for-
get it.

By Verist ar 1B41,9
I am firmly convinced that we have
one robin who has been.coming back
here every year about this time, --for
the past fifteen years. It all happen-
ed after • our ;cherry trees, started
,bearing ,,fruit About a week before
they really get going, this big, fat
robin will come along and then stay
along with 'numerous relatives and
assorted pirates such as the'•black
birds, until °th'e • three trees ' in the
front yard are stripped, Mr. Robin
moves of after that and, we don't
see him again until the following year.
Last Sunday we had one of those
hot, humid days. It had rained the
night before without clearing up .the
hot weather, I was sitting on the
front veranda in,; my •stocking' feet,
halt toeing with sleep, after reading
the newspaper. It was just the sort
of day to take the ambition right out
of a person.
,A robin glided in for a perfect land-
ing on the stump of a branch we :saw-
ed off an apple tree. He was a
plump, handsome bird with a clean
bib and •a saucy look about him. He
strutted up and down the branch for
a little while and then swooped down
to the front lawn and found a worm.
The eat' coming around the corner of
the veranda froze into a' huntiug form
and started stalking toward the rob-
in.
That robin. just stood there and di-
gested part of the worm, taking time
out to look up at me. I was certain
he hadn't noticed the cat at, all and
;i
was half 'tempted to call out and warn
him. Then it dawned on me that- tlhhig
must be our yearly visitors Tlie cat
crouched ready for a spring at the
bird. Mr. Robin took off and sailed
up into the branch of the cherry tree.
The eat looked, a bit downcast and
went up the vernda steps. The robin
strolled tbrough the cherry tree ,and
looked the crop over. He looked like
a field i'napector for a canning com-
pany and, seemed to be making men-
tal notes., Once or twice • he. •nntopped
to 'Sample ,a cherry. He went through
the three trees in a systematic way.
After that he flew away. In about
fifteen minutes he was back with an-
other robin. They looked the trees
over and then with a flip of their tail
feathers in my direction went flying'
away. 1' am positive that within a
couple of clays they'll) come back with
a host of friends for the big feast,
Bird fancierstell me I'm crazy to
think that the same robin ,has been
coming back here each, year for the
past fifteen ,years. Stilt, that robin
ldoks the image of the one that has
been coining all these years.
In a few days there'll be the an-
nual race between ourselves and the
birds tee see who gets the most cher-
ries. The birds manage to do pretty
well each year, I'm ''toying with the
idea of putting netting around the
tree, but on the other hand that
would, be kind of a dirty trick and a
person can even ,get fond of pirates
when they're presistent enough.

'Maple Products Pay Farmers Millions
The 1947 crop of maple syrup and
maple sugar- is much greater than in
1946 and is estimated at 3,580,000 gal
lots of syrup 'and 3,434,000 pounds of
sugar, compared with 1,889;000 gal
Ions of syrup and 2,543,000 pounds of
sugar in 1946. -
The syrupcrop., is the largest on
record since 1924 but sugar produc-
tion is five per cent smaller than the
10 year 1936.45 average. Production
of maple syrup and sugar is confined
to four provinces and production this
season, with comparable figures for
1946 in brackets, is as follows:, Que-
bee, syrup 2,831,000 gal, (1,638,000
gal..), sugar 3,260,000 1.b's. (2,4480,000
lbs.) ; Ontario, syrup 717,000 gal. (235,-

lbs.); Nova Scotia,' syrup 9,000 'gal,
(6,006 gal.), sugar 14;000 lbs. 20,000
The value of the crop, including
syrup and sugar, is estimated at $14,-
139,000 or 125 per cent •more than the
value of production in 1946, most of
which went to farmers as the bulk of
'maple syrup and maple sugar comes

Frozen Egg Law Boon To 'Industry
With the introduction of grade
standard'for frozen eggs for export,
ail poultry products -are now under
grade regulations. Covered ' by the
regulations are frozen whole egg or
melange, a staple commodity of the
baking trade; frozen egg, yolk, used
in commercial preparations of salad
dressings, doughnut and ice cream
mixes; frozen egg whites, used by
bakers and confectioners fir mer-
ingues and candies. D
The chief point in the regulations,
says the.. 'Current Review of Agricul-
tural 'Conditions in Canada, is that
which deals with the 'percentage, of
solids present.' To qualify as Grade
A, frozen whole eggs must have been
at least:25.8 "per cent solids; frozen
egg yolk 43 per cent,, and frozen egg
whites, 11.5 per cent solids,
These regulations apply enly to
frozen eggs exported, imported or
shipped between' provinces, 'Until the
provinces, by their own legislation;
implement these regulations, grading
is nut requited far frozen eggs pro-
duced and sold within one province,

sible for the egg -breaking plants in
Canada, • of which there are 'approxi-
mately 60 in number, to market froz-

.Variable Forecast of 1947 Apple Crop
•
Adverse weather throughout East-
ern Canada has delayed development
of the fruit crops, states the first of-
ficial • reldort on the fruit and vege-
table crops produced in Canada in
1947. The report is issued. by the
Dominion Bureau of Statistics, In co-
operation with the Marketin'g'Service,
Dominion Department of Agriculture,
and the Provincial Department of
Agriculture, and says that in the two
principal producing provinces of Nova
Scotia and British Columbia the first
apple estimate indicate reductions of
30 end 22 Per cent respectively, In
Ontario, on the other 'h'and, an in-
crease of 42 :per cent is' anticipated.
Pears and plums will be Tighter
than In 1946, but the complete esti-
mates syere hot available at the time
of • issue of the report on .Tune 28.
Peach production will be lower,'due
to the poor set of fruit in Ontario:
Production in British Columbia is ex,
pected to be 15 per cent better than
in 1946, while the Ontario crop will
be 45 Per cent lighter.
.Cherry production, as a whole, is
down as a results of a pobr crop in
Ontario, In British 'Colum'bi'a an in-
crease of five per cent: is anticlpated
at present,
Reports on the grape crop are not
,complete, but in Pntario, where the
-bulk of this fruit is grown, produc-
tion is e pented to he about the same
