TIMELY TIPS
Don't expect your car's brakes
to do the same job in the winter
as they do in the summer, cau-
tions Hal Wright, Safety Specialist
with the Ontario Department of
Agriculture. In order to keep the
133 -foot braking distance you have
on dry roads at 50 m.p.h., you
must reduce speed to 28 m.p.h. on
hard -packed snow and 16 m.p.h.
on ice.

slig. .:,.crease in rabies at this

said. He added ' that with foxes

Rc n r w County in Ontario was
the m st heavily infected, with the
major ty of cases involving foxes.
As a result, the department's

porting system by visiting all vet-

cal offi^ers of health and other lo-

The original portion of
the present Seaforth Col-
legiate Institute building
was erected in 1879 upon
the establishment of a
high school here. The two
rooms that were provided
at that time proved,' with-
in a few years, to be in-
adequate to accommodate
the increasing numbers of
students, and in 1887 the
Board determined on a
policy of expansion.
A large addition was de-
cided on and The Huron
Expositor of March 4th,
1877, says:
"Contract Let — The
contract for the erection
of the new addition to the
High School building has
been let to Messrs. John
Lyon and F. Gutteridge.
Mr. Lyons gets the con-
tract for the woodwork at
$2,477.06, and Mr. Gut-
teridge for the excavation
of the foundation and the
stone and brick work at
$2,284.00. The contrac-
tors in both cases have to
furnish all material. The
work could not have fall-
en into better hands."
An interesting coinci-
dence is that Mr. H. Edge,
who was general contrac-
tor for the 1938 addition,
was employed on the job
in 1887. In 1934 Mr. Edge
presented the plans of the
former work to the S.C.I.
Alumni Association, who
had them framed and
hung in the school.
In 1954 an extensive ad-
dition to provide a gymn-
asium a n d auditorium
was completed. The space
thus released in the main
building made possible
the provision of three ad-
ronal classrooms.
Latest addition, con-
struction of which began
in 1960, came into use in
February of this year. It
includes five classrooms,
new administrative ac-
commodation and a cafe-
teria. (Drawings are the
work of George Daly, ,a
graduate of Seaforth- Col-
legiate Institute, now of
Toronto).
Warn Of Danger
Of Mud and Salt
Cold in January; snow in Febru-
ary; mud in March. Ontario's dif-
ferent seasons demand different
safety precautions, says Hal
Wright, safety specialist with the
Ontario Department of Agriculture.
March is the month when mud
and calcium chloride splash up on
lights and windshields. They lim-
it the distance in which you can
see others and in which other driv-
ers can see you.
"They're a big factor causing
rear -end collisions in March," says
Wright.
Calcium chloride is much more
adhesive than mud.' He suggests
stopping as soon as you can and
cleaning your windshield if your
car's wipers and washers can't
can't handle the calcium chloride -
mud mixture. Clean the lenses of
your headlights and taillights at
least as often as you clean your
windshield, if you're driving at
night.
The safety specialist feels the
use of only parking lights during
dawn and dusk periods is also a
factor causing both •rear -and front-
end collisions during muddy spells.
When they're muddied up the sit-
uation is that much worse.
"Drive with your headlights on
during dawn and dusk," he sug-
gests. "Even if muddied up,
they're easier to see than parking
lights, Besides, it's unlawful to
drive during dawn and dusk per-
iods with just the parking lights
on."
We extend congratulations to
