With the advent of warmer weather and the closing of schools throughout the province, the minds of children and parents alike naturally turn to thoughts of two long and glorious months of vacation spent in many instances at the shores of some nearby lake or river. It is meet, therefore, that those who are intending to spend their vacation in such a manner should be cau- tioned against the dangers which present themselves either in swimming or boating. Those who are not used to handling a boat should not attempt to do so unless accompanied by someone who is thoroughly experienced. Canoes are perhaps the most dangerous of all craft if not handled properly. The whole picture would be undeniably beautiful were it not for the awful spectre of death by drowning which rears its ugly head higher every year leaving an agonizing trail behind it. Throughout the whole summer the news- papers are filled with tales of young lives, bright with promise, being suddenly cut off, sometimes needlessly, sometimes quite accidentally, but equally tragic in either, instance. Novices are warned not to jump into them precipitous- ly or carelessly. but to place one foot after the other care- fully in the middle of the canoe and seat themselves with dignified composure. You will have plenty of time to reâ€" gret it if you do not follow this advice. Spasmodic gripping of the gunwales is also another foolish practise, motivated generally by the rocking of the boat, but which is really unnecessary and dangerous. If you are not used to a canoe, sit perfectly still and all will be well. In swimming, the age-old custom of remaining out of the water for one or two hours, preferably two, after eating should be rigidly adhered to in order to prevent cramps. Do not rush into the water while you are heat- ed. Wait a few minutes till you cool down. The old adage, “He who hesitates is lost,” is not apropos here. Diving into water where one is not familiar is also, often the cause of many deaths. Jump in first to test the area for sunken logs or dead-heads which may be con- cealed just below the surface of the water. These few precautions are easy to observe and may be the means‘of saving your life at some future date so These few precautions heiress}; be the means of saving your life at be wise and live to a ripe old age. In a well-known magazine. says The Bowmanville Statesman, we saw a cartoon which told a very true story. It pictured a Canadian tourists’ home all decked out with Stars and Stripes to attract United States visitors to this country. In the foreground however, an American tourist is seen leaving the place in disgust and he is made to say. “I didn’t come to Canada to find a home away from home.” There is a sadly mistaken idea by many Canadian tourist home operators that Americans like to see their flags fly- ing everywhere in the breeze when they come to Canada. Primarily the American comes to Canada to get away from the humdrum of daily life in his own country. Canada to him is a foreign country and as such offers certain changes that are necessary to an enjoyable holiday. He likes to feel that he is abroad and he would be a lot happier if he saw Union Jacks floating in the breeze. Ganadian tourist home operators might well take these facts into consider- ation. Strong currents are also another factor which should be judged in comparison with one’s own strength before embarking. In water where one has never swam before, observe the strictest caution. There is probably a deep hole which will take you down below your depth in many places, so be Wise, go carefully. Canada during the calendar year 1936 regained fifth place in international trade, replacing Japan which was in fifth place in 1935.

Night driving always requires extra caution. But the first measures which should be taken are to be sure your lights are in good condition and to drive at moderate speeds. The owl and the pussy cat can see better at night, but you can’t. So slow down and “TRY COURTESY” all the way, all the time. Turn your lights on at night and then walk down the road 50 or 75 feet. Turn around and look at them, then ask yourself, frankly, how you would like to meet those lights on the highway. If they glare, if one is stronger than the other, or if they are too dim to light the road adequately, something is wrong. Test your lights frequently. Make sure the vibra- tion of your car has not changed the tilt or focal adjust- 11)nent of the lights; that it hasn’t loosened one of the ulbs. The “one-eyed” Cyclops of Homeric mythology was no more vicious than the “one-eyed” car on the street or highway. The cards are stacked against you when you drive at night with inadequate headlights. Also, you take unfair advantage of all other users of the highway. Advertising Rates on Application. TELEPHONE 9 THE LIBERAL PRINTING C0., LTD.

The automobile chug-chugged its way into the Canadian scene as the tumultuous twentieth century began. Nobody took .this “foolish contrap- tion” very seriously. It was a pass- ing fadâ€"a relatively harmless toy for the young bloods of the day to play Withâ€"and if an occasional chicken lost its life, the damage could be righted by a few contrite words and perhaps a dollar. Year after .year the traffic death record grows worse. That it did not improve in 1936, at a time when most encouraging advances were not- ed in law enforcement and traffic engineering in general, indicates but one thingâ€"that highway safety is a personal problem which must be soIV- ed by each individual himself, and not one which will yield readily to wholesale solution. The traffic problem is YOUR pro- blem. Your stake in it is high, for it is your life. Will you continue to bet your life, to substitute chance for caution and uncertainty for safe- ty, or will you, by driving sanely, do your part to end this senseless lottery? The fad, however, did not fade. Instead, the automobile became an all-important factor ‘in modern civil- ization. It is unfortunate that we have not yet learned to enjoy this marvelous instrument of transportation without paying a tremendous price. There is one simple rule of driv. ing‘ that will make our streets and highways safe for everyone who uses them: “Drive as you would have oth- ers drive.” The spirit of the twentieth cen- tury is speed. And that simply means “TRY COURTESY” every minute you are behind the Wheel of a car, just as you do in your busineSS and social life every day.
