TU. 4-3714 RICHMOND HILL Yes, a'summer week-end can mean a lotfof fun for you and your family. But it means a lot of other things tooâ€"many more we on the highway, many more drivers in a hurry to start their week-end or to get home again. It can also mean many more accidents and more patients for hospital emergency wards. If you’re taking the family away for the week-end in your car, be sensible about it. Watch your speed. Avoid impatience. Drive so that you and your family ~and the other drivers you meet on the roadâ€"arrive alive. When you're on the road, always drive at a ‘apeed that will enable you to stop in the distance between you and the car ahead. At night, drive at the speed that will enable you to stop within headlight range. If you are tired or inattentive, do not drive at all. Make next week-end a big week-end but make sure you enjoy it properly . . . not in a hospital bed. Your Ontario Department of Transport urges you to observe the speed must-slow down and live.

Each associationhas a clerk or secretary but the work in Toronto was too demanding to be handled part-time by a minister or lay- man. The move has been under consideration for some three years but no action was taken until last week? Mr. Lennie. will serve on in- terdenominational bodies and will represent the association on var- ious community committees such as the Community chest. As field councillor, he will work directly with the Toronto council. Although the position is the first of its kind in Canada, in many large US. cities there are executive secretaries working with the council of churches. . “I will be available to any con- gregation that might want assist- ance," Mr. Lennie said. He said he must interpret the program of the convention for .the association and so assist the congregations in their daily business. In the same way, he will indicate the interests of the association to the conven- tion. It is the second appointment in the past year of a layman to an executive position in the Ontario and Quebec conference. However, the field councillor post, more ex- tensive'in scope, is the first of its kind at the association level. The other layman is director of stewardship for the convention.

Mr. Laba said that he had also discovered through the Pigeon Association of Toronto, and through the monthly "Feather Fancier", that many retired men found a satisfying diversion in breeding pigeons in a small way, in pens in their city garages. Far from retired himself, George Laba took a liking to pigeons owned by his nephew, and brought a pair of white King Squab for himself. about 5 years ago.

Her husband R. H. Neil who has practically made the trip in advance, through extensive read- ing, has a weakness for old book- stores, wants to see the inner courts in Britain. and revisit the French battlefields where he sérved as seargent-major with the 19th Battalion during the first world war. The Neils have rented their charming log home on John St.. and left this week to spend a year abroad. Their youngest daughter Elizabeth sailed with them. She has been superintendent of Wood- edin, a school for cerebral palsy children, near London, Ont, for the past three years. and will take up work in the same field in Eng- land. while her .parents explore Gt. Britain and the continent. Holland, which she last visited when 6 years of age. will be of special interest to Mrs. Neil, for it was her mother's homeland, and she will renew acquaintance with Dutch cousins who were bombed out three times during the last war. The Neils will visit the‘Scandinavian countries, then take a leisurely motor trip through Scotland and England. Winter will probably find them in the warmer climes of Spain, Portugal, and the south of France. They hope to stay wherever poss- ible in small pensions, and priâ€" vate homes, in order to gain a mcre intimate knowledge of the country, and people. Trips by canal boats on rivers in England, France and Germany are also included in their plans.
