I Somewhere in New York a voman is wearing Patricia Ryan’s $2,500 [strand of pearls and probably thinks they are worth the 15 cents she paid for them at a dime store. MilssI Ryan, a radio singer, went to the store to get some imitation pearls to wear for a photograph, rather than use the ‘I‘eal ones, which were not insured. She removed the necklace in the store and tried to find a 15-cent strand to match it. Finding nothing suitable, she walked out with'what‘ she thought were her pearls. Then she discovered her mistake. She rush- ed back to the store, but her pearls were gone. The store manager said they probably were sold to a custoâ€" mer for 15 cents.

General News & Views Hi-Ho, come to the Fair “M m ML “There is nothing vague or diffi- cult to understand about any of these rules,” Mr. McQuesten insist- 'ed. “Anyone who has «been given a license to drive is capable of f0110wâ€". in}; these principles. The only thing that is needed to make our high- ways safe is a determination on the part ‘of‘ every driver that he will carry out every rule of safety all the time. It sounds simple â€" and it’s just as simple as it sounds. If we can teach our children to handle Roman candles and pinwheels safely, we should be able to teach ourselves to handle steeringmvheels safely." or when the view is obstructed, don’t park on the highway, signal in. plenty of time before you turn. observe all road signs and signals, be sure your car is in safe driving condition, and most emphatically, if you drink, don’t drive. He quickly outlined the eight safe- drivinig “canonsl” which are incorp- orated in the advertisement currenrt- ly appeag‘ing in the Ontario press: drive at a safe speed, keep to the right, never pass on a hill or curve “Why, then,” he queried, “should! it be any more difficult: to observe the few, simple rules that are de- signed to save our own lives and the lives of others who use our streets and highways. There are fewer than ten, and at least: as easy to under- stand. And there can never be any doubt in a driver’s mind whether or not he has violated a traffic rule.” Most people, Mr. McQuesten point- ed out, have little difficulty inr keep- ing the Ten Commandments. They are few, easy to remember, and any violations are quickly recognized, at least by the violator. “It’s not very many years ago,” said Mr. .McQuesten, “that the only important worry we had over the 24th was whether our children would come through with nothing more ser- ious than a scorched finger. Strong; public opinion and the determination to make the Queen’s Birthday ‘safe and sane’ has practically eliminated the horrors we used to witness each year from dangerous fireworks dis- plays. If we can make children act with safety and caution when they have a firecracker in their hands, it seems logical to assume we can do the same with grown-ups when they have a steering-wheel in their hands." Toronto, May 16â€"An urgent ap- peal for a “safe and sane” holiday week-end was issued today by Hon. T. B. McQuesten, Ontario Minister of highways, when he announced! that his department would once more conduct a summer-time advertising and publicity campaign with the ob- ject of cutting down the appalling nunclber of deaths and injuries which' put all Ontario in mourning last May 24th week-end.
