ONTARIO 110E TO NTARIO MOTORISTS Re Unsatisfied Judgment Fund Fee .Under an amendment to the Highway Traffic Act enacted in 1947, provision was made for the creation of an Unsatisfied Judgment Fund out of which will be paid, in the manner prescribed, judgments for personal injuries and property damage sustained by reason of the operation of motor vehicles, which cannot be collected in the ordinary manner from the judgment debtors. The method prescribed for creating the Fund is the collection of a special fee, when required, from each person to whom is issued either an operator's or .a chauffeur's license. Although to date no fees have been collected from those operating motor vehicles, the legislation has been in effect since the lst of July, 1947, and many judgments have been paid by the Department pending the creation.. of the Fund. Effective with the issue of 1949 motor vehicle operators' and chauffeurs, licenses, an additional fee of 50 cents (50c) will be collected from each person to whom is issued a 1949 license, which fee will be known as the Unsatisfied Judgment Fund fee and will be set aside solely for the purpose of creating the Unsatisfied Judgment Fund, This is not an annual fee and no further feewill be collected from motor 'vehicle drivers for this purpose until the Fund is exhausted or so nearly so as to indicate ghat there is not sufficient in the Fund to pay judgments for a period of at least one year, ONTARIO DEPARTMENT OF HIONWAYS. eloi Hr DOUCETT, Atiaister Bronchitis You' get welcome relief fast when you use VICKS APORLIB Chesterfields and Occasional Chairs Repaired and Recovered Free Pickup and Delivery STRATFORD UPHOLSTERING COMPANY ' 42 Brunswick St. STRATFORD — ONTARIO Enquiries should be left at R.

A similar survey was made among 4,750 telephone non-users. Al- most 70'per cent replaid, to the user's survey and to the non-user's 40 per cent. The great majority considered the value of telephone service to be stead- ily increasing. Criticism was invited.. From it the SomPany has placed, in its, long-range plans the reduction `of the number of subscribers on party-lines, as time biggest single improvement that can be made to existing service. The Bell expects to be serving sev- en out of every 10 rural families in territory by 1951 or as soon after that as is practicable. It also plans within, the next few years to reduce to eight or less the number of subsCribers on eaph rural line, to provide individual or two-party service in all cases where either is wanted and to increase great- ly the number of public telephones, New methods' have bees devised to reduce the. time required for time con- struction of rural pole lines, Through the development of a new and strong- er type of telephone wire it is now possible to spat longer distances, thus reducing time number of poles needed, to carry Witts„Wire buried under- ground is .another dxample of newer methods of rural telephone construe- tion. Among technical innovations is, • the power carrier system: electrie power wires used to carry electric pow er and telephone conversations tatmously, This technique is still mid-. study to determine. its possible, ex- tensions hi Bell territory where one such installation is aleardy operating sucedsfully. Like the farmer, the company has. been plagued its the last few years by shortages,' shortages of emtipthen4 skilled help and building materials for new premises. But delays have' not altered the essential character of its, rural program which is to provide rut- al fainilitS with the best possible set., Vice at the lowest cost. • example, thousands of subscribers have had their magneto telephones exchan- ged for more modern instruments.

Maybe if you understand why, you will be calmer. 1, Unpreparedness, You begin every household task with a mistaken idea (although it may be subcon- scious) that you will be permitted to complete it in uninterrupted bliss. Consequently you are unpre- pared for time out. 2. Frustration. Your thoughts, which direct your actions, move in a stream of consciousness. It's like water flowing downhill—once the stream is started, it doesn't want to stop. Consequently you feel frus- trated if stopped suddenly. 3, Anger. This is a natural human re- action. The ardenal`glands pour ad- renalin into the system which up- sets the balance of the entire body when one . is angry. 4. Confusion. You feel confused be- cause you are temporarily "unbal- Aimee. That's why you put sugar into your, cake twice and cut one trouser leg too short, HOW CAN WE. COMBAT DISORGANIZATION 1. Change your attitude, Accept the possibility of interruptions as a :nor- mal part of your housewife's job, as being called out in the middle of the night is part of a `doctor's job, or walking in the rain, part of a post-.. man's job. 2. Start your day right. Say to your- self, "I'll remain calm today no mat- ter how maddening the interruptions are." 3. Plan your day's work to allow ten or more minutes for interruptions M each hour's work. 4; Don't get angry, It's not the in- terruption that does the damage, it's your anger. So, encourage the cheer- ful habit. 5. Put your unconscious mind to work. Relax when you can and then do things calmly. THE QUESTION BOX Mrs. C. W. asks: How to keep fruit from sinking in a cake. Answer; The washed raisins and currants should be drained, patted dry with a towel and tossed with one- third of the measured flour from the recipe. Mrs. J. R. asks: Why did my candy become sugary when test showed soft-ball stage. Answer: Wrap a damp cloth around the tines of a fork and wipe down the sides of a kettle to prevent any sugar crystals from going back into the syrup. Miss M. K. asks: Why did butter- scotch candy not harden when we boiled the mixture slowly over the direct heat Answer: First, do not allow sugar mixture to boil until sugar is all dis-' solved. Secondly, a steady boil-Lnot a simmer—is necessary to thicken candy mixtures. Miss J. C. asks: Can you suggest ways of using home canned peaches that have turned dark at the top of the jar? Answer: Use in upside down cake, mashed in a fruit filling for a layer cake, or pureed with applesauce or with 'prunes. * * * ' Anne Allan invites you to write to her clo The Wingham Advance- Times.
