The members enjoyed a game of moncply and later, all visited the recâ€" tory were refreshments were served by Canon Cushing, assisted by Ruth Arâ€" nold. The event was a very enjoyable way for closing the yearly activities. Waitressâ€"Bless your heart, apples were forbidden in the garden of Eden, tips here.

A. operates two airports for the Departâ€" ment of Transport. They are at Armâ€" strong and Kapuskasing. Both fields have paved strips, or runways, on which aircraft normally land and take off. In the past it was the custom for T. C. A.‘s maintenance forces at these lields to roll the snow on the landing strips. This presents a hard surface on which the whells of a commercial air transport can hardly make a ripple. Come spring breakup, however, the hardâ€"packed smow is transformed to ice. It stayed when the rest of the field was clear. Two years of experâ€" iments have brought a new technique. T. C. A.s‘ drags and rollers will leave the paved strips severely alone this winter. Instead, new runways will be rolled adjacent to the old. When spring comes the paved strips will be blown clear with snow blowers. leaving the rolled surfaces for sun and wind to clear later. T.~C. A. services R. C. A. F‘. planes at thesgs fields as well as its own It has become doubly important to keep the fields usable during the breakup pericd But the time to start is now and the new winter strips are in operâ€" ation. The national air services hopes the new wrinkle will do the trick. Last Regular Meeting of the A.Y.P.A. for 1940 New Plan for Landing at Kapuskasing Air Port Mayor J. E. Brunetts and members of the Municipal Council have given their support to the "Drive Safely" campaign. They tso ask the coâ€" operaticn of motorists for the elimâ€" ination of accidents throughow: the hcliday season. Endorsed by Mayor Going back into the fyles Chief Gagnon found that there was a total of seventeen accidents during the same period in the year 1938. Nine of the seventeen crashes were at intersections and all occurred late in the afternoon. damage to motor vehicles amounted to hundreds and hundreds of dollars. In an appeal for safe driving this Christmas, Chief of Police Leo H. Gag. non today asked The Advance to warn drivers for him about care in driving at intersections. "It is significant that all of these accidents happsned late in the afterâ€" noon and in the evening," Chief Gagâ€" non said today., "It is also significant that all of the drivers involved were men. Perhaps if men would turn the keys of their cars over to their wives during Christmas week the accident total would be decreased," the Chief commented. "If more would, at least let their wives drive after they have had cne or two too many it would be wise." There Were Thirteen Automobile Accidents During Christâ€" mas Week Last Year. Seventeen in 1938 and Eight the Year Before. Majority of Them Happen at Intersecâ€" tions. â€" Only One Woman in Crash During th> Three Christmas Woeeks.

They all occurred at intersections late in the afternoon and during the evening. Buttressing his former%contention ‘that men might do well to g@llow their wives to act as chauffeurs" during Christmas week, Chief Gagnon pointed out that in the past threeâ€" years only one woman had been involved in an ac. cident in Christmas week and that was not a serious collision. the remaining eight accidents which occurred in that week in 1938 were occasioned by cars pulling away from curbs. "The intersection hazard is always great especially in winter when the streets are slippery but the driver who pulls away from a curb without first locking carefully to see that the road is clear is a hazard at all times." said Chief Gagnon. "I have instructed my Officers to show no mercy to the man who is caught drunk in his car,"‘ said the Chief. "I am making an earnest plea to automobile drivers to exercise cauâ€" tion and I am also warning that we intend to safeguard the riglytgs of â€"the pedestrian and other motorists by picking up drunken drivers."
