THIS IS .SAFEDRIVING. -WEEK
• Although December has dropped'
„rom first to seventh place among
the year's traffic -dangerous months,
it still contains one of the most per-
ilous periods -the Christmas and
• New Year holidays, Police forces
across Canada -federal, provincial,
mnnicipal and industrial- will co-
• l operate in a campaign against De-
cember's 'holiday hazards", the
drive to get a surging start with the
nation-wide "Safe -Driving Week'',
sponsored by the Canadian Highway
Safety Conference between Decerti-zi
ber lst and 7th.
"Safe - Driving Week" receives
strong, and forceful participation by
all police, as well as provincial and
• community safety organizations and
service clubs, church -arroups, mac,-
istrates and judges; government of-
ficials and many other bodies. Its
aim is to make the motorist and pe-
destrian aware of his responsibility
as an individual in the prevention of
highway accidents, injuries, econo-

ELECTION JUNIOR STYLE
Entirely aside from the civic as-
pects of Monday's election in Wing-
' ham, it had an educational value of
great importance. At least two
rades at the public school held el-
ections, using the names of the civic
candidates.
The fact that the elections at the
school Were held on the same &A-
,: while interest and home discussion
was presumably at its peak, added
a great deal to what world, at any
time, be a good lesson in active proc-
•l, bee of democracy.
•:The youngsters who took part in
the mock .elections will have an un-
derstanding of chic rights and re-
sponsibilities which few of the old-
er generation had at the same age.
There is no better time to emphasize
the importance of the basic founda-
'lions of our governmental system
khan- when minds are -flexible and
readily impressed.
We think the teachers who had
the imagination and energy to stage
this practical exercise should be
heartilY commended for their inter-
est m e -welfare of our town and
'country 15 or 20 years hence. -

IMPORTANT CALL
• On Monday evenino-bof next
.week the members of thei.ions Club
will make a house-to-house canvass
of the hornes in Wingham, the oc-
-easion being their annual peanut
Vunds raised in this way are
used to further the Lions' welfare
-work, particularly as it relates to
the children in the town and district
who are in need of medical treat-
ment, spectacles, etc.
W6 have always particularly en-
joyed recommending this campaign
to you, for it is one instance when
you are not asked for a mere do -
'nation, The Lions ask you to pur-
chase from a stock of several types
of peanut products, all of which are
.-.Itseftil and very good value for the
',money.
This year, in addition to the sale
of peanuts, the Lions are collecting

mic losses and deaths,
When Safe -Driving Week closes
Sunday at midnight the police will
concentrate more specifically on the
menaces that come with the carefree
and happy spirit of Christmas and
New Years. While Safe -Driving
Week is a campaign of awareness,
"Holiday Hazards" is a drive with
legal teeth in it and the law-enforce-
ment bodies strengthen their vigil-
ance at that time in on effort to pre-
vent drivers and walker,s from killing
themselves with happiness.
The Canadian Highway Safety
Conference urges every motorist and
pedestrian -and every parent and
teacher -to extend their personal
efforts to co-operate with the police
in this vital work.
KINSMEN START THE BALL
It was particularly gratifying to
find the Kinsmen Club of Wingham
presenting the first cheque to the
Community Swimming Pool Mind:
The need for a swimming pool has
been apparent to the Kinsmen for a
,considerable time and that club has
discussed every angle of the project.
When the subject was last under
consideration the Kinsmen came to
the conclusion it WOU iti be too big
for one organization to handle alone
but that it should be taken up as a
community -wide enterprise. The
fact that circumstances have led to
just that situation triggered their ac-
tion. in making the first donation, to
the healthy tune of $2,000.
We have heard the opinion ex-
pressed by a few residents of this
conununity that a SWiffi ming pool
may be fine, but that it will mean no-
thing as far .as the 'cafety of our
children is concerned. his school
of thought ...contends that the river
will always, be there and it will al-
ways take a certain number of lives.
Along with the Kinsmen we ut-
terly and completely disagree With
this defeatist themy. It is true That
boys will -alwaYs head for, the mill
pond chine -,,spring-b-nt: bOyS NA'ho
have been taught to swim are one
'thousand per cent lesS likely to die
1?y• di owning than those who have
never learned to look after them-
selves in the water.
The swimming pool project bars
all the hallmarks of a course at ac -
tion which will succeed. Let us not
think of b. new pool as siniply anoth-
er plactiof amusement. It can and
will ferye a vitally important -pur
pose in this community.
TEACH THEM TO WALK •
While the onus for accident pre-
vention lies heavily upon the shoul-
ders of the motorist, there are times
when 'one cannot but feel that too
much is asked of the man behind the
wheel.
Naturally it is the driver's res-
ponsibility to avoid careless mis-
haps of all kinds, particularly where
other -Vehicles are concerned. The
car operator, too, has the special
worry of watching out for little boys
and girls who may dodge out into his
path withont warning,
However, when these youngsters
reach the age where they are attend-
ing the upper grades of public school
and after they have reached high
school it would be reasonable to sup-
pose that some of the responsibility
for their personal safety would rest
with themsavest
There is very little evidence to
support this theory in Wingham,
Those drivers who are unfortunate
enough to be on the streets when
students are oil their way to „, and
from the local schools have to run a.
virtual gauntlet of all -but defiant
young pedestrians who often refuse
to move even to the side of the
street to let car through. The ad-
vent of snow and the consequently
slippery conditions of road surfaces
makes their youthful' arrogance a
folly of Ohne concern.
Parents and 'teachers might
well step into the forefront of the
battle for traffic safety by taking
whatever drastic stens are needed to
insist on more sensible behaviour on
th &part of the very persons this pro-
gram is primarily designed to pro -
teat.
