Warning
An urgent warning to the
public has been released by
the O.P.P. Anti -Rackets Branch
regarding counterfeit fifty dollar
bank notes. A flood of counter-
feit fifty dollar bank notes has
hit the province of Ontario in
the last week.
The notes are of excellent
quality and very difficult to
detect. As a result, all fifty
dollar bills are suspect.
Ten persons have been arrest-
ed and charged since the week-
end at Trenton, Collingwood
and Peterborough. Notes have
also turned up in London and
Hamilton.
Normally, counterfeit notes
are imprinted with the same
serial numbers, however, in
this case there is a sequential
variance of numbers which adds
to the difficulty.
Anyone accepting a fifty
dollar bill during the next sever -i
al weeks should be sure of the
person's identity.
The simplest method of det-
ection is to hold the bill against
a strong light which will'reveal
an otherwise invisible number
of planchets which are implant-
ed in legal bank note paper.
By using this method the ab-
sence of an increased number
of planchets is generally an
indication that the bill is count-
erfeit. If this should occur,
contact your local police office
immediately. If the suspect
cannot be safely detained,
obtain a full description and if
possible the direction by which
he leaves and the licence num-
ber of any vehicle he may
enter.

The "heavy-footed" driver is
throwing money away, no
matter what his average
speed. Waste is not only in
fuel, but in oil, rubber and ex-
cessive wear on every moving
part.
A dirty windshield not only cuts
down visibility but greatly in-
creases eye strain.
Noises following a cold engine
start are no problem unless
they persist when the car
warms up. It rarely warrants
fixing.
Many police departments have
adopted a special 9" x 5" side
view mirror. With one of these
properly placed on each
fender, there's no blind spot
behind you.

Unevenly worn tires indicate
that wheels are out of line. For
safety and savings, have them
checked.
If fixing up your old car is beginning to
cost big money, this may be the time to
consider a new one at

Recreation
The frost is on the pumpkin
and Ontario's lakes and rivers
no longer provide refreshing
dips for hot summer vacation-
ers. They are cold, deadly cold,
for the hunters and fishermen
who will be using boats to pur-
sue there favorite recreations
this fall.
The Ontario Safety League
states that prevention is the
most sensible approach to the
cold water hazard. Take every
precaution to prevent falling
overboard, swamping or capsiz-
ing. This means keeping loads
light, avoid high winds and
heavy seas, do not stand up in
a small boat on open water and
curtail boating to daylight hours.
Ontario Safety League accid-
ent records show that a good
lifejacket strapped over warm
clothing provides effective
protection against cold water
immersion. It gives the victim
additional time to escape from
the cold water which he must
tips
do to survive. Wear a lifejacket
at all times on fall boating trips
it could be a lifesaver,
Let's make this Lessons in
Truth Week, suggests the Ontar-
io Safety League. When you
tell yourself it's all right to
cheat on the traffic regulations
or chisel on the safety rules
now and then, are you telling
yourself the truth?
A gradual stop gives the driv-
er behind you time to react and
space to stop, says the Ontario
Safety League,
Here's a protection -packed
pair of night driving habits from
the Ontario Safety League --
reduce speed and increase caut-
ion!
Of course you dim your lights
for other drivers, but what
about pedestrians, asks the Ont-
ario Safety League? They can
see better when your lights are
on lower beam, and there's
less chance they'll be blinded
into a hazardous act.
