Convicted of care- less driving resulting in a fatal accident, The .article went on to mark that this was a severe Judgment. A visitor to Russia told me. of asking his guide why the police didn't stop a truck driver who was driving without lights when it was almost dark. The guide replied that the police figured that the driver must be able to see all. right since a fatal accident would send the driver to Siberia for life. My friend added that the system seemed to work as serious accidents in Russia were extremely rare. I don't want to imply that I approve of the Russian meth- od but it does seem that we must devise some means of re- ducing the .number of accidents, so many of them so very seri- ous, even fatal and certainly not all of them caused by young drivers, In fact, I would guess that very few of, them can be blam- ed on young drivers, even though. young drivers .do' have a much higher accident percent- age. We are beginning to make driving skill a prinie requisite in obtaining a driver's license. However the driver's , attitude is even more important. While examinations do try to assess this characteristic it is very difficult for them to justify a license refused on this point. Just hoW big a responsibility do we have in many of these young driver accidents? • Someone remarked that our schools have failed to teach reading properly. How else can you explain that a 50 mile sign means 60 and a 60 mile sign means keeping up with the Other fellow at 70, 75 or 80 ? Also a 30 mile sign means whatever you think you can get away with, Nor is this the only area that we oldsters should review, Fe: several years our village has been without a public meeting place of size. The old town 'hall was: condemned and finally torn down, The lot was vacant for a year or more. Now the Legion is construct- ing a Legion Hall. It is badly needed, I expect it will have facilities for serving banquets, etc. Again this is something that was non-existent in the community if the crowd exceed- ed 125 or so. Unfortunately, I take it for granted that it, will also have facilities for serving alcoholic beverages. The "Teen Town" parties are now held in the public school in what is actually a classroom with the desks shoved back. With a hall available we can hardly expect the school board to allow this to continue. In effect we, the mature citi- zens of the • community, are saying to our young people, "If you want a party you must have it in the Closest possible proximity to the sale of alco- holic beverages. I have noquarrel with the Legion.' If this is the kind of building the organization wants it has the right to have it this way. I do feel that it is wrong to force our young people to choose between a party in. this environment or no party. A few years agd'an addition to our church of badly needed Sunday school classroom space and a recreation room was pro- posed. It would have cost con- siderable sacrifice on the part of many in the congregation but it could have been done. If your son or daughter or mine meets with a fatal acci- Conservation Ladies Give .

If your son or daughter or mine becomes an alcoholic have we no responsibility? 0 Ontario Street Ladies Group Names Slate Unit four of Ontario Street UCW held their November meeting on Monday in the church parlour with Mrs. Car- man McPherson in the chair. Devotional period was con- ducted by Mrs. George Col- dough, assisted by Mrs. Earl Blake. Mrs. Ross Trewartha read, a chapter from the study book.

The UCW of the Londesboro United Church served a most delicious turkey supper with all the trimmings. While the lad- ies cleared the tables, Pat Hun- king led 'everyone in a sing- song. The president, Ross Lovett, welcomed everyone present and gave a brief outline of the past year's work. Financial and aud- itor's reports were given by the secretary-treasurer, Nona Pipe. During the evening, Mr. and Mrs. Bill Holland favored with several delightful musical num- bers on the guitax and piano 'accordion. Elmer Ireland, president of the Huron Federation, brought greetings from the county, and reported on the various projects of the past year. He suggested that township directors be paid by their organizations for their attendance at the county meet- ings throughout the year. He said he felt it was not fair that they should attend the meetings without remuneration. Doug Miles, agricultural rep- Reader Critical Of Condition Of Local Flag The Editor, Clinton News-Record. Dear Sir, • With the current discussions about Canadian unity, national- ism, and Confederation itself, an observation of the local scene raises a question. Why was the' Canadian En- sign allowed to hang all day Saturday as a sodden tangle in front of the Legion Hall? Surely' this mass of cloth at half? staff was not seriously in- tended as a tribute to the late President. It must have impressed those, new Canadians who' attended the afternoon auction at the Hall, to see the pride we take in the flag we followed across Europe. Yours truly, W.
