(ANGLICAN) tiniliab ant it I I Twelfth Sunday after Trinity—August 244101 U SOMETHING Three drownings in fourteen months are uu than ,t11.e commun- ity can afford. What can be done about it? First of all, let's stop shrugging our shoulders and saying, "It can't be helped." It may be tine that the danger of drowning can never be completely eliminated in a town which is sur- rounded by river area—but there are many things we can do to minimize the possibility. The first, and ICy far the most im- portant of these steps is to provide a proper place for swimmers, one that will be sufficiently attractive tro put an end to the use of unsuper- vised and dangerous swimming places. Two• of • the drownings which have occurred in recent months have been the result of bathers swimming at points which took them beyond. their depth. A proper swill-ailing place, with gradually sloping bot- tom, would have prevented these tragedies. The second great danger, unfenc- ed. and completely unprotected verg- es at the dams and mill races, still exists to a major degree, although the Public Utilities Co mmission has erected some railings at both dams. Much more thorough protection is still drastically needed, , The committee appointed to ad- BOYS AND BICYCLES Sometimes we wonder at the blind faith parents have in•their off- spring. This town is crawling with pint-sized bicycle riders who have, apparently never heard anything whatsoever about traffic rules, much less the danger of ending their short lives under te wheels of a car. The truth of the matter is that there is.urgent need of some sort of regulation to set a minimum age limit for bicycle riders. Many of the smaller children Whose indulgent fathers have provided them with two-wheeled transportation, are sim- ply not old enough to be out in traf- fic. They are far too immature to, know the rules of the.road. Of course, when one , of these small fry gets himself mixed up with a car or truck, the driver's ability and caution are immediately called into question. He may even be in danger of facing serious charges under the law, a threat which hangs over neither the juvenile rider nor the father who bought him a vehicle three or four years too soon.. In line with the traffic safety program which was carried out 'in Wingham last spring by, local and provincial police, there has been a suggestion that a course of training for bicycle riders should be inaugur- ated, at which traffic regulations, rules of the road, care, courtesy and common sense would constitute the studies. Cyclists could then be ex- amined for their knowledge of traffic and its hazards and if found com- petent, a license could be issued. Ideally, those who failed to pass the test would be prohibited from O perating bicycles t1t such a test was successfully completed. A local by-law would be needed to give the regulations some force, but that would not be out of the question either. This whole plan may seem a little rough on thil poor wee lad who loves to galavant all over the place on his bik, ; but it's much 'better to have him disappointed than dead. 11 The Winkham Advance-Titnet Publislied at Winghane Ontekrie Vitenger trothert, Publitherl, W.

If this arrangement does not prove feasible we must face up to the necessity of some other form of swimming pool. ,The people of this community, along with the various service organizations, are ready to support such a project to the limit. GAVE MUCH TO WINGHAM The unavoidable decision of the town- council last week, to seek the services of a town clerk, brings a very clear reminder of the exception- ally fine service which has been rendered•to the Town of Winghain over the years by W. A. Galbraith, the retiring clerk, who has beery seriously ill for some months. A man of meticulously careful methods, Mr. Galbraith apparently never rested until every detail of his involved task was in order. When extra hours were demanded he con- tributed them without complaint. He devoted not only hard_ work, but great ability to a job which became more complicated and exacting with every passing year.. Many phases of life in this com- munity have been benefited by his thoughtfulness, especially in the be- quests which he arranged under the provisions of the Cornyn Currie es- tate, of which he was the adminis- trator. The local hospital, churches- and other public enterprises were selected by Mr. .Galbraith to receive needed bCpiipment and beautification. The- effects of W, A. Galbraith's life and work in this community be felt for many years to come. A host of friends and business asso- ciates earnestly hope for his early recovery. TIME IS LIMITED A rather disappointing situation is facing the people who have put in considerable time and effort to or- ganize .a local Retarded Children's Association. The group is all, pre- pared to open a school for such youncesters on the fifteenth of Sep- tem1Per but so far very few child- ren have been registered. The association is aware that there are several retarded children in this area, which, of course, was the basic-reason for the formation of an organized group. The sole purpose of the organization is to provide, free of charge, some means of training- for the youngsters. Parents of retarded children are asked to note these facts: There is no charge whatsoever for training in the school ; daily transportation will be provided where necessary; chil- dren attending the school will be handled with patience and under- standing of their particular prob- lems; retarded children have latent abilities which association with other youngsters and the careful guidance of an interested teacher can develop. Parents should also understand that registration of children for the school cannot be left until the last moment. The association executive has asked that every possible regis- tration be in by August 1,5th, which is Vriday of this week. If you can- not, register by that time, do so at the earliest possible date, because there is a great deal of preparatory -work to be done. These tasks can be carried out only after the expected number of pupils is known. In order to have a child registe r- ed parents are asked to contact any of the following: Michael McPhail, Wingham Warren. Collings, Gorrie_: Kelso McNay, tucknow; Robert Walker, Brussels ; Fred.
