Nearly 200 Canadians will die on Canada’s streets and highways over the Christmas and New Year’s holi- days if past records follow true, ac- cording to safety officials. The annual “Food Crusade” is directed by CARE of Canada, the in- ternational person-to-person relief organization. The food crusade is ex- pected to produce thousands of $1.00 food packages, each containing en- ough food to help sustain a family of four for a month. The packages con- tain such staple foods as corn meal, rice, powdered milk, varied according to local diets. Many of these foods are made available without charge by the Canadian and US Govern- ments from our agricultural abund- ance and others are specially pur- The drinking driver, late parties, early darkness and adverse weather conditions all combine to build this annual toll, but careful driving and common sense could prevent almost all the deaths. Safety officials offer these recommendations which will help make a happier holiday season for everyone: (1) Do not drive after drinking: even one or two drinks can ser- iously impair your driving abili- ty. (2) If you must travel after drinking get a sober friend to drive you, or call a cab. An intensive drive to help ease the hunger that plagues two-thirds of the world’s people is climaxed this month in a special Christmas-time appeal to Canadians who want to help families abroad who never have enough to eat. LTHE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday, December 28, 1961 WE NOW! Have The Cleanesi Coin laundry In Richmond Hill One New Year’s resolution we could all adopt would be a greater interest in the well being of our home community. Better informed, more active citizens everywhere is a prime goal in a free society. We could all ask ourselves what we can do to make our community a better place in which to live, to raise a family. What steps can we take in a prac- The really important thing is for all of us to stop and realize we are standing before a brand new book of time. Twelve months, 365 days of the very raw material of life itself â€"-time. What is each of us going to do with the New Year that is un- folding before us? Are we going to make the best possible use of each and every day in 1962? It is so easy simply to drift into another year without any real plan or purpose. How many of us stop and ask our- selves where we are going or what life really means to us. We are con- tent simply to drift along from year to year. BAYVIEW PLAZA â€" BAYVIEW AVENUE & ELGIN MILLS ROAD Once more we have come to that time of the year when so many of us make New Year’s resolutions, some of them frivolous and some serious. Some of us decide to stop smoking while others decide to go on a diet or decide to be more kind and thoughtful to our fellow citizens. the NOW YOU CAN WASH An Independent Weekly: Established 1878 War/'1‘?"

The opportunity for community service today is unlim- ited. All that is required is enthusi- astic men and women who are will- ing and‘ able to donate of their time and talents to any one of many com- munity projects. Let’s make 1962 a year of service.

CARE handles the shipping and packing and CARE representa- tives abroad supervise the distribu- tion. Packages go to 30 countries of the world where the need is greatest. All packages carry the name and address of the donor and the green Maple Leaf to mark it as a gift from a Canadian who cares. Many people put their Christmas dollars to doubly good ‘use, by making a CARE dona- tion in the name of a friend whom they wish to remember at the holi- day season. Many Canadians feel it is fitting at Christmas time, to add a contrib- ution for someone in another country who needs their help “desperately. Donations are addressed to “CARE of Canada, 116 O’Connor Street, Ottawa, Ontario.” (9) (6) (8) (3) (4) (5) (7) A renewed interest in our local government would be a step in the right direction. The men and women charged with the responsibility of administering our councils and school boards often fail to receive the in- terest and support of an informed electorate. Government at every level today plays a dominating role in all our lives. In our complex society they make decisions that for better or worse effect all of us. Therefore it only makes good sense that we should strive to know the policies and deci- sions of every official body and also make sure we elect the best possible candidates to public office. tica], personal way to improve living conditions in our home town? Whenyou give a party, provide your guests with coffee or simi- lar beverages before they leave. Avoid long trips, especially when you have had too little sleep be- cause of holiday festivities. Try to plan your travels for the times when traffic is light. Drive a little slower and more carefully; you may be sober, but the other driver may not. Keep special watch for children who are out of school during the holiday season. Watch for pedestrians; they may not see cars if they are bundled up in winter clothing or carrying an armload of parcels. When in doubt, yield the right- of-way to other drivers. It is better to avoid an accident than to insist upon your right-of-way. “I-n highway safety, the in- dividual is supreme. He can. by his act. in a fraction of a second, either fulfill the man- date to be a safe highway user. or nullify the effort which has been expended to safeguard lives and property. There is no ‘substitute for individual caut- 4ion, and no excuse for individual carelessness." Sergeant J. Rainey of the Rich- mond Hill Police says: Because the premium have risen only 384% in ten years it is improbable that the cost should increase to 15% in a twelve month period. “With the tremendous in- crease in auto insurance claims in the past decade it is readily understood and accepted that protection premiums should rise accordingly." said Mr. Sav- age “but in spite of the fact that awards have increased an aver- age of approximately 150% in ten years. in the same period of time the costs of insurance has risen only 334%." Mr. Savage stated it was un- derstandable that automobile insurance costs are expected to rise over a period of time - ten years for instance, and he gave the reasons for the increase. In the period from 1949 to 1959 the costs of car parts increased approximately 150%. In the same period average jury a- wards have doubled. Similar increases have been registered in the charges for hospital care. In recent years the average hourly rate for labour costs to repair automobile damage has increased 50%. There are also? many more accidents now than‘ there were ten years ago. In an interview with “The Liberal” this week, Peter Sav- age. on behalf of the York In- dependent Insurance Agents As- sociation, gave substantial proof that such an increase in rates is questionable. Toronto Dailies recently told car owners of Ontario that car insurance premiums are expec- ted to jump 15% during the coming year. A Voice from the Attic, by Robertson Davies (Knopf, 1960). Reading for pleasure and a dozen other literary topics are explored by this Canadian jour- nalist-critic, and editor of the Peterborough “Examiner”. At a leisurely pace and with an amused air he discourses on the rights and privileges of the general readerâ€"selzf-help books on sex education, some forgotten Victorian works, book collecting including the vogue for collec- tion of pornography, comic liter. ature, drama as literature, and the present status of writers. This is an inviting commentary for the general reader. To whet your appetite, espe- cially during the holiday sea- son, a couple of “dipper's” an. thologies: Pick of Punch, edited by Ber- nard Hollowood (Arthur Barker, 1961).

This is an- other guide to effective reading, and is available in a paper back edition. Sir William compiled this book in response to many letters from people with lim- ited leisure who would like to widen their reading. This need and desire for guidance was so extensive that he has provided this as a systematic and con- venient form. It is intended to assist a wide cross-section of the public to be more adven- turous and versatile in their reading. Each section has a brief introduction followed by a varied and interesting biblio- graphy. Most of the titles are British in origin, but many are available in public libraries. The Lifetime Reading Plan, by Clifton Fadiman (World. 1960). This is a discussion of one hundred books and authors from Homer to Hemingway. Fadiman's plan is designed to lead you slowly. gradually, under ‘no compulsion to read the works to! the greatest writers of our Western tradition, and to under- stand what these writers have thought, felt, and imagined. Each selection is discussed and presented to give a brief yet thoughtful introduction to the original author. A bibliography of the various editions avail-able is included, or they may be ob- tained from the library. As we approach another New Year, it is time to give some thought to those annual New Year’s Resolutions. We hope that everyone will make and keep this oneâ€"“I resolve to read a book a week during 1962." With this thought and determination. you will enjoy many restful hours during the coming year.
