THANK yoU
The . dvance-Timeswould like
to excess heartfelt thanks to the
dozens of individuals and business
f+il,'fi7S,, both. 'in Wi.ugha:mand farther
afield, who contributed to the Water
Safety Bund ', :hieh ,closed at noon
yesterday. The net result is much
more important than a mere collec-
tion of so many dollars and cent s—it
s the practical ev'idelaee of the -fact
that public safety is something the
majority of people not only want,
but arewilling to pay= for.
Perhaps you noted last week that
a .donation of $15,00 was turned in
by the pupils of the J,ower Town
School, located only a couple of
hmidred yards. away from the scene
41 two drownings inthe past year.
Another hard-earned dollar came
from, a ten-year-.oldboys, ' When we
expressed surprise that he was in-
terested enough to part with what to
plea was':gnit.,e: probably a. small for-
tilue, he said, "Well, T spend a lot of
time around the .river myself."
arti.cularly would we
1'
express.:.
thanks to the anonymous donor who
sparked this entire project with his
'offer of any amount up to $500.00.,
That .spiritof instantaneous re-
sponse

' to an evident need in: the
c.omMun.ity is so rare and refreshing
that at gives the rest of us a new and
clearer version of what we can do.
JNPOPI. LAR 'STRIKE
• :,It:would be hard, 'to recall a labor
move which, bas. been generally more
hili. opular than . the work stoppage

organized on account of CPR fire -
Men, ..Though all ` .CP traffic was
supposed to come to a halt on Sun-
day, it' Would appear that the strike
is headed for ignominious defeat..
CP trains 'were still running dii Mon
,day, in some instances foremen of
,:.the railway company taking over the
duties of the absent, firemen, •
Cer.tainly 'the man on 'the -street
feels little sympathy for the firemen
in this dispute, The.Can adian public,
is hardly so'labor :thindecLas to agree
'with a` costly strike \which flies d.ii-

of us are'pretty firm believers.

Kinsmen, is worth :furtller.me:ntion.
These 'Kinsmen are an .active

committee had disposed of practical--
ly all the available display space in
the arena, and with the fair still

that it will alldisappear before the
event opens on June 5th, We have
also, found that several larger out-

an indication that; the potential mar-
ket in this area is stili
highly
con-

fi'EVERYONE
when our ,course lies clearly before
lis.
As, we reported two weeks ago, a
committee, yepresentative of the
service cllths. Legion, Recreation
Council and Vire Brigade has been
named to examine and discuss the
umst pressing needs at the danger
points along the river, As soon as
any decision is made we will inform
the public so that those who have so
generously donated Will know how
their money is to be Spent.
SOUND ADVICE
One of the most impressive re-
ligious services we have attended in.
some time was the one in St, An-
drew's Church last Weclnesday'even-
ing when Douglas 0. Pry, a native of
this cor.lmlunity, was ordained as a
in Mister of the Presbyterian Church.
We found it particularly gratifying
to see a'friend. and former neiighbnrir
attaining the cul alination 'of . six
years cols of 'study and entering the high-
est calling known to man. That
iiiany of our townspeople shared the
same feeling was evidenced by the.
large attendance at •both the ordin-
ation service and the reception which
followed.
This newspaper extends sincere
congratulations and good wishes to
the Reverend. Douglas Oliver pry.
Naturally it is the duty of the
other clergymen taking part 'in an.
ordination service to admonish
and advise the •ordinand, and two
thoughts contained in these address-
es struck us as being exceptionally
wise and well-founded. Di Ninimo
stated that it is a minister's duty to
preach the Gospel as it is contained
in the. Bible, rather than ranging off
onto the theme of modern evils and
what should be done about them.
The Gospel, he said, contains all the
answers ' required -for :any. •Jairbllenl
regardless of the age 'in which it is
found.
The Rev. John Pollock 'advised
that the young minister always hear
'in, mind that the people in the pews
are human, as eventhe preacher
:hi;rn-
self and that a good fund of basic
common sense, temperedwith a,.l ve=
Iy sense of humor is necessary.
`Though advise to the clergy is
not a field in whichwe specialize, we
could not 'fail to. agree with the
thoughtful speakers •who were .ad
dressing . members of their own
calling. a
THE YEARS. GO QUICKLY
It is very hard 'to realize that'
thirteen years have passed since
German resistance on the` continent
of Europe came ''to an end. How
much more y past y have the 13
years flown by than did the preced-
ing six years when friends and rela-
tives were' tiragg.ing through the
wearying strain of World: War ;f.
T f
11e end of every conflict has al-
ways caused wildhilarity on the
home front, and the ).ay cele-
brations were no exception; In Hali-
fax the populace, civilian' andmili-
tary, just abut wrecked the city.
Even in, staid old Ontario there were
some wild scenes.
No victory,'however,
r means any -
thin

in .the light of passing time, and in
this

the lt. r„ ere S still the

that the World Wars are ended. We
still hang precariously can the brink
"of what could well he the third and
catastrophic stage of the conflict,
Perhaps the future is not as hope-

Tess as it does at time§ appear. At

MAY CAMP4IGN
41MED AT VENICL£S
Highway accidents and deaths
caused by unsafe vehicles will be
the target of a national campaign
to be sponsored 'throughou't Ca-
nada during May by the Canadian
Highway Safety Conference. The
drive, called "Check Your Car,
Check Your Driving, Check. Acci-
dents", will have the active sup-
port of automobile dealers, service
station and garage operators and
all usersof the' highway,, including
truck and bus companies; It will
coincide with' a similar effort in
the United States. The Conference,
through the Iirovincialand com-
munity safety organizations • and
industry in ;general, is stressing 10
vital safety checks.
They are: brakes, front lights,.
rear -lights, steering, tires, e,x-
haust " system, glans, windshield.
wipers,' •'rear-view mirrors ` and
horn.:Defeets in any of those items,
warns the Conference's ' •;general
manager, W. Arch -Bryce, can re-
sult in disaster.' Their importance
to the operation of a vehicle is'
seldom' appreciated,' according to
Mr. Bryce, until they become 'de-
fective. Motorists are being urged
to envisage the predicament into
which they would be thrust should
such defects occur in their "vehic-
les, and to •take immediate steps to
tamed 'leave .from school.

"Every vehicle using Canada's
roads and streets is nothing more'
than an' inanimate machine,' un-

but always able tp create one. Driv
ars Should at all times feel safe
and secure "in the knowledge 'that
their -vehicles have been, given a
thorough safety check and every
evidence of impending defect cor-
rected", Mr. Bryce said.
Police- forces across Canada--

campaign. Special attention will
be given by traffic enforcement
officers to unsafe vehicles in this'
national effort to safeguard the
lives of the n illians ct Canadians
