A. Stapells, president of the Ontario Safety League, told the annual meeting recently that accidents wiped Out 2,000 lives, injured 210,000 and destroyed property valued at nearly 1127,000,000 during 1948. He said, "add to this the 200-odd drownings. as well as those that are not recorded, and the conclusion is so horrible that those of us concerned with safety must somehow find ways and means to redouble our efforts." The president warned that all fac- tors point to even larger tolls of death and injury in the years ahead; and he described the outlook as "so stagger- Mg as to cry out for aggressive and Concerted actions on the part of every individual." During 1947 Ontario drivers suffered 10.9 accidents per 100 million miles and this rate was re 1'AGE TWO driving—do unto others as you would woni ,l have them do mac; you—will make driving safer. And by all means, driv e sl.ov d hen near schools odwhere are pl.*ing on or near the t-oadway. I Here in WhOram we are still dilly; I dallying about removing the traffic hazard of the curbs along our main thoroughtare--surely an ounce ,4 pre- vention will be better than a pound of cure—unnecessarily jeopardizing the limbs of pedestrians. Also we still have the narrow roadways and far-too-nar. row roadways and far-too-narrow bridges in and close to the town. During recent years there have been many accidents on these narrow approach roads and bridges, including one fatality. How many more acci- dents will be necessary to awaken the public to this unnecessary traffic haz- ard? It is the christian duty of each voter, in fact of every citizen to urge the men, who they elect to responsible public office, to carry out the duties such position entails; and that means that local officials, who are responsible for the condition of our roads and bridges, should take the proper and necessary action to correct any and all traffic hazards. * ISRAEL ELECTS ITS FIRST PRESIDENT The election of Dr. Chaim Weiz- mann as Israel's President by the newly elected Constituent Assembly recently, put the official stamp on what was already an accepted political fact. This veteran compaigner for Zionism has been the presiding genius of the new State of Israel since its birth last year and his formal assump- tion of office is the crowning inci- dent of a long and arduous lifetime de- voted to the one great cause. The first President of Israel'is cer- tain of lasting fame and Dr. Weiz- mann is certainly worthy of that hon- or, He was born in Russia, but went to England in 1904 and has been, for the greater part of his adult life, a British subject. His services to Bri- tain as a scientist during the war of 1914-18 were so 'Valuable that he won the warmest sympathy for his Zionist crusade, * JEWISH-EGYPTIAN ARMISTICE SIGNED Unexpected success has downed the armistice negotiations ontqhe Is- land of Rhodes being conducted under the guidance of the UN Mediator, Ralph 5. Bunche. Both the Israeli and Egyptian armies are to be withdrawn from the small disputed piece of terri- tory near the Egyptian frontier, the Jews retain practically all the Negeb Desert" area. This willingness of the Egyptian Government to back down on most of its demands, has already had a Ake effect on the other warring Arab Stat- es. A Trans-Jordan delegation is eith- er already at Rhodes or on the way there for peace talks and other Arab States 'are said to be ready to send delegations too. So, at long last. it seems certain that peace will- soon reign supreme once more in the Holy Land; and the State of Israel will be able to turn its efforts to the building up of the Jewish State. Most of the Holy Land is once more the Jewish homeland in fact as predicted in the Holy Bible. * * * GOVERNMENT , HELPS BUILD RECREATIONAL FACILITIES Now that the Provincial Govern.- ment has passed an Act to help muni- cipalities to build recreational facili- ties, many centres will doubtless take advantage of this grand opportunity. There_ seems no logical reason why the boys and girls, and older people too, of Wingham shouldn't benefit along with other places.

Wa- wanosh held their weekly euchre at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Vin- cent, on Friday evening with Mrs. Gordon Naylor and Mr. John Mc- Burney holding high points and Mrs. John Mcl3urney and Richard Chamney holding low points. The winners for the month were, Mrs. Albert Bieman and Mr. Lewis Stonehouse. The next meeting will be at the home of Mr. and. Mrs, Harry Cook. Those who attended the pictures presented by the National Film Board in the Memorial Hall last Thursday evening, had a real treat, as the pic- tures were exceptional. Rocky Moun- tain Trout Fishing, and Whale Fish- ing, and the one on Canadian Indus- tries, were especially interesting. Mr. Russell Purdon and Mr. Ken- neth Purdon were in Toronto on a business trip on Thursday last. Miss Isabel Elliott and Mr, Cecil Falconer held high pbints at the Crok- inole social held last Tuesday evening in the Memorial Hall by the Presby- terian Young folks and Mrs. Andrew Gaunt and Mr. Cairnie Aitchison held low points. Red. W. S. Sutherland led in the sing-song, with Mrs, Swanson at the piano. Lunch was served and the social time enjoyed by all. The Young Adult Group of the Un- ited Church met last Tuesday evening, with Mrs. Victor Emerson, convener off the Missionary Dept., in charge of the meeting. The scripture readings were taken by Mrs. Ernest Casemore Shirley and Beverley, and Mrs. Clar- ence McClenaghan spoke' briefly on the lesson. Myrna Stockill and Mar- jorie Coultes gave readings, and Paul Groskorth a piano solo, Mrs. J. G. Gil- lespie led in prayer. Rev. G. M. New- ton showed moving pictures on the Missionary work among the Indians of Bella Coola, B.C. and the Eskimos, and their work and home life. The one on winter sports in Quebec, skiing, ski- joring and tobogganing was very in- teresting as was the one on the work of the Summer School at Goderich. Jack Coultes took up the offering and Mrs. Emers'on" closed the meeting with better athletic park, apd also .a swim- ming pool, Both these projects are eligible for government assistance and that should be an incentive to speed up their construction. A community hull or recreational centre is also bad- ly needed here and it too would IV^ k:eive a government grant to help defray its cost. Premier Kennedy said there will be no red tape in administering this Act so that should mean that whether the t.:onummity Centre was built as a sep- arate building Or constructed as an addition to the presenearena, it would be eligible for the grant. Wingham is showing growing pains in a revival of building activity and actual or talked- of business expansion, and the time is ripe for progress in the construction of new recreational facilities. Wingham should lead the way, not follow other towns. together, MOON Mi MOINIMMINIUMNIX INENNOMIMMINNIMF " NI IN MI ni a ts 1 • ri xi ort a a at a al a al a a ...------------ ,................. a. a a $ V" . 1 VITA -RAY, REGULAR • • al SAVE • • • • • FOR $1 .5° • .
