About 20 Hollywood stars will take part, including Loretta Young, Jeff Chandler, Howard Keel, Rosalind Russell and Rod O'Connor.

NEW SHOWS coming up in- clude "Phil Rizzutto's Sports Caravan" (beginning next week Tuesdays and Fridays at 8 p.m,) and "I Was a Communist", on the air for Eno's each Wednesday night at nine o'clock.

Rizzutto interviews big-name sports fig- ures and runs a Fan-of-the-Week contest offering an all-expenses- paid trip to New York City. "I Was a Communist" is based on stories from the Saturday Even- ing Post.

But once le a while a car driver may be just a little absent-minded and unintentionally may splash a person walking along the sidewalk, minding his or her own business. This, then, is an appeal to auto drivers to avoid absent-mindedness until the streets dry up, to drive a little more slowly than the law calls for and to keep an eye open for pedest- rians.

Extensive damage results as seedlings and saplings are destroyed and it quite often scars the larger trees. The smoker should not throw matches and cigarette butts out of car windows but they should be placed in the ash trays.

"The struggle to provide safe use of our roads to an ever-increasing number of drivers and vehicles continues on the three fronts of engineering, law enforcement and safety edu- cation. Many public spirited agencies, the press, radio, police, schools, communities, ser- vice clubs and individuals continue their very necessary work to bring to the walking and driving public an awareness of the hazards of present day road travel, as well as the ways of avoiding such dangers. Many special efforts are being carried on to reduce accidents over the Easter holiday." The Minister especially asked that drivers watch out for children, So often in their care- free play, he pointed out, their lives are in the hands of any passing motorist. The first children treated 30 years ago had to be 16 years and under. Today the age limit has jumped to 21. And although the interests of the Society have broadened to include nursing care, camping facilities and a start on cerebral palsy, its orig- inal purpose remains the same— to aid crippled children regard- less of race, religion or sex; to discover and transport them to hospitals and clinics; to arrange treatment and appliances and help them enjoy a normal life function of government and of and thereby contribute to the officialdom is to serve—to serve building of a better world. the public good.

They are careful to watch the speed limit, to stop at signs and to watch out for children on the streets. They seldom, if ever, race a pedestrian to a street crossing' and us- ually turn corners on at least three wheels. In other words, they are good ,citizens when they get behind the wheel of their car. In the spring, sloppy streets and puddles offer temptation. There is something inex- pressibly funny about seeing a person (some, one else of course) gersplashed—funny, that is, to people other than the splashee. Now in Clinton, motorists curb their sense of humor EASTER is a very critical period for motor vehicle accidents, warns Hon. George H. Don- cett, Minister of Highways, in a special Easter message.

"This year carries a more severe threat than ever before. We are hoping that March fatality figures .will be lower than for last March, but preliminary fatality figures for January and February at 122 deaths through motor vehicle accidents show an appalling in- crease of 17 per cent from the total for the same months of 1951.

The grass is tinder dry and will burn quickly if a lighted match is accidentally dropped after lighting a pipe or cigarette. Many landowners start a fire to burn old grass or have a bonfire to get rid of rubbish. It may get out of control and run in the dry grass, causing damage to fences, buildings, plantations and woodlots. Many forest plantations have been ruined by spring grass fires that have burned over the area and practically all the trees have been killed.
