To reduce and eliminate these injuries is • the tremendous job facing employers, who in 1968 paid in more than 112 million dollars to the Workmen's Cbmpensation Board to pay the bills for over 300,000 incidents. Even though 80 percent of the injuries are of a yery minor nature, involving medical aid only, in many instances it was only luck that a more serious injury did nokoccur. To help corhbat this needless human suffering and, waste of millions' of ripllars, which has a direct bearing on the economy and those things we all purchase, the I.A.P.A. is once again sponsoring a change -of -pace_ October Safety Campaign to give safety a shot in the arm in the more than 50,000 factories dnd retail stores in the province. In 1968, 78 percent of ,I.A.P.A. member firms -had an injury -free record for October and this year they are shootirig, for a minimum goal of at least 85 percent of their membership. Theme of the campaign Safety Is No Accident. The I.A.P.A. is a non-profit organization 6f Ontario manufacturing and retail employers that provides consulting and educational services on matters of accident prevention and industrial hygiene.

This magic chlorophyll uses the sun's rays for energy and turning certain elements of the air into food. The process of 16 od-building- in ordinary -- deciduous plants 'goes on only during comparatively warm weather. As the nights become Cooler in fall, this phenomenon gradually ceases and the development of chlorophyll stops. Besides the green pigments that make up chlorophyll, leaves also contain, in varying W. J. Denomme FLOWER SHOP quantities, red and yellow -pigments. In most trees and shrubs these pigments are hidden beneath the more conspicuous_ green, and appear only in the fall when the green pigments disappear. Many' plants, that turn a vivid red in, the fall, have purplish and coppery -green • leaves. One . example is the purple barberry. Contrary to general belief, frosts have little influence on the bright colors except that they naturally slow down tire food -building process. Actually, they, may shorten the fall coloring period by removing the leaves from the trees too quickly. A very hot, dry summer, too, may cause the leaves to drop much earlier. As the leaves turn ° color, a change takes place at the base of f corky cells is being formed. This layer of cells, known as the abscission layer, facilitates the falling of the leaf and is nature's way of sealing,,, up the point where the leaf is attached to the stalk. As soon as this layer of cells has formed, the first slight breeze of autumn sends the leaves falling lightly to the ground. A question often asked is why autumn in North America is notably more spectacular than it is in most other countries. Many people think this is due to the weather that prevails in these • countries, but this is not entftely true. The main factor that contributes' to our fall colors is the species of trees thal are native to this region. If 'one visits any . of the famous botanical collections in Europe during fall, one becomes impressed immediately with the fact that nearly all the colorful trees are of North American origin. At Kew Gardens in England, for example, the two most highly colored trees in autumn are the red maple and the black nate-to North Amexica; in fact both grow wild in Ontario, although the latter Phone S24- ,•1132.

Other plants that contribute a great .deal to our fall colors are the sumac, the shadbushes, the highbush cranberry, the red oak, the scarlet oak and the native poplars and elrils, which provide the golden touch. Some exotic plants are, worth growing solely for their autumn color. These usually change_color earlier than our native plants, thus extending the fall color season. When planning your garden it will be worthwhile to include some of these plants. Among the best and most flamboyant exotic trees are the ginnala maple, which often outshines the native red maple in our arboretum but colors earlier and has a more fleeting effect; the Ohio buckeye„ a tree like a horse chestnut, with large palmate leaves that change to red in fall;, the true Chinese elm, a small tree with thick leathery foliage that will take on a cnrnSon and yellow hue, in the next few weeks; ' and • the maidenhair -fern ° tree, which glows with a soft ltiminous yellow tone. Shrubs of exotic origin that • have beauty of fall,color include the smoke bush with leaves that _ change to purple, scarlet and gold; the Pekin cotoneaster, a showy Chinese hedge plant with dark green leaves that turn to crimson in the fall; the flowering . currant, now presenting a most dazzling scarlet effect; many spindle trees, including the - winged euonymus, tiie Sachalin spindle tree and the European spindle tree; and the rugosa rose and its cultivars with their purplish -red foliage enhanced by vivid red rose hips. - DAY OR NIGHT Agent for 24.hrr- FILM DEVELOPING ILLITERACY = HUNGER At Literacy House in India the three R's have been _replaced by the three F's --- functional literacy, food, production and family welfare planning.
