Rising Toll of Ice Accidents Alarm Red Cross Officials Alarmed over the rising toll of Jives lost in Ontario through ice accidents, the Ontario division of the Canadian Red Cross is concentrating on a cam­ paign to alert parents to the winter and early spring hazards, Red Cross officials believe most involved in permitting their young­ sters to play on ice-covered streams and lakes, "Safety is a year-round matter* not simply something to be considered in the summer months,” said Warren Clayson, director of water safety ser­ vices for the Ontario division. , "Pareiits seem to forget to tell their children that ice surfaces on lakes and streams may be dangerous," Mr. Clayson said. "Ice holds a fascination for children. Parents should take their youngsters to ice-covered stret­ ches of water and explain the danger to them. At this time of year we ex­ perience frequent thaws and an ice surface that appears solid may break under the slightest pressure.’’ Pamphlets on ice-water safety and a film dealing with the same subject are available at Ontario division head­ quarters. Children are the main concern in this respect, and the responsibility of parents to think of safety in winter and spring as well as in summer, is being emphasized. Here is what the Red Cross believes should be done to save lives: Instruct children in the dangers of playing on and around ice; tell them that ice is weakened by the sun and that ice that has formed over swift moving water is weak and presents a dangerous hazard. If a child must cross unsure ice, he should carry a long pole. This could be used to straddle the hole should a break occur. Skating and sailing alone is extremely dangerous, especially at night and should be avoided. / The Wingham Advance-Times, Wednesday, February 28, 1955 Page Nise HULLETT CALLS GRAVEL TENDERS Hullett Township Council instructed Clerk George W.
