WEDNESDAY JUNE 18 I952 For Happy Holidays With vacation days just ahead this is good two to think about summer safety and perhaps to pass the word along to the young folksso that they can get through the holiday period withdut mishap few accidents possibly are unavoidable Most of them however could be averted by those old standbys care courtesy and com mon sense The three Cs are usually thought of in connection with preventing highway accid ents Safety authorities generally endorse them as good basis for keeping down traf fic smashes that can cost dearly in life and property However they can be applied also to such other summer activities as boating swim ming or climbing Storms can come up swiftly and unexpect edly bringing peril to persons who have ven tured far out in smpll boats on lake Un familiar streams may have rapids or water falls in which danger lurks Rip tides and undertows lie in wait for the unwary or over confident swimmer Most summer deaths and injuries can be traced directly tothoughtlessness or reck lessness Standing up or changing places in small boats is asking for trouble Speeding and stunting in motorboats can endanger both the boats occupants and other persons in or on the water Swimmers still go into the water soon after meals stay in cold water too long and swim out beyond the point from which they can return safely Safety advisers frown on all these practices Still good is the familiar advice against exercising too strenuously during the first few days of vacation against trying to get dark tan in one day and winding up with sunburn against overloading boats against diving into water that may be shallow or fil led with rocks and against drinking water if there is possibility it is impure Vacations are too short for anything but pure enjoyment and relaxation little com mon sense can head off grief Have happyand safeholidayl Is Like Melody Why should the city dailies when report ing an accident crime court trial or any thing elae almost invariably describe any wo man appearing in the case as pretty asks The GodericlrSignalStar It was pretty hatcheck girlwho was mentioned in con nection with recent fatality in Toronto The woman called to the witness stand in court is always pretty girl or if too old for thatan attractive woman And so on male in sim ilar circumstances is not described as hand some or goodlooking if he is criminal he may be well dressed but usually he is just John Jones or Richard Doe The reporter should hold something inreserve todescribe female who is more than ordinarily attrac tive When the word pretty is overworked the reader draws his own conclusion and it may not be complimentary to the reporter Women Best Shoppers In the food business the best customers are women 35 years of age or more who do their shopping on Fridays That is what Robert Campbell reports in Canadian Business on survey made in Canadian food stores About 87 per cent of all chain food store shoppers jare womenand more than 40 per cent of Shoppers are 40 years or age or more Accord Vingto the survey Canadian shoppers make inearly three mlllioa separate trips to food stares each month and the average Canadian makes about 24 trips to food stores per week Most people do their big shopping on Friday liand SaturdayAccordlng to the survey the average Friday shopper spendesilm and the Saturday buyer spends about $588

the Post OPINIONS OF OTHERS The Queens Birthday Creemore Star Somehow or other the fanfare that should go with the observance of the Queens birthday has mis fired Monday June 9th has been set apart by Parlia ment as the day to observe the birthday of our young Queen In Creemore the day was observed by the bank the school and the post office The rest of us carried on as usual The event apparently has not caught on in this the first year of Her Majestys reign Many people say therclare too many holidays The 24th of May was observed in Creemore on the 26th by proclamation of the Reeve and Council and everybody took the day off not because of any significance it had but the feeling was that it wvas good day to go fishing It is our considered opinion that it would have been much more fitting to forget about the old Queens birthday and observe the 9th of June the birthday of our present Queen Goodness knows we are all loyal subjects and justly proud of our young Queen but some leadership more than has so far been in evidence is necessary before the day will carry any significance For instance we asked boy loitering on the street why he wasnt at school Because its holiday he replied But when we asked why the holiday he replied dunno New System Collect Taxes Creemore Star We believe Nottawasaga Council did sensible stroke of business at their June meeting when they launched out on new system of collecting the mini icipal taxes The olderhorse and buggy day system of delivering tax notices in person has long been outmoded It was costly and served no particular lt purpose It is much cheaper to have the notices sent out by mail and it is just as convenient and in fact better for all to pay their taxes into the banks Not Ntcwasagajs fortunate in bank service There are three branches of the Bank of Toronto within the confines of the township borders Collincwomi Stayner and Crcemore The anus to paytaxea is on the ratepyer the banks are conveniently locatedaccordlngly there

the government didnt like them True it has numbers enough to slough off good many kicks like that but governments Ire sensitive and lucky for them that they are They are at the mercy of public opinion and in these days It is restless and fickle The first thing the party leaders do when struck by minor disaster is to look back follow the tracks they made as they marched to victory asking friend here and there the question close to their hearts What should we have done in respect to the votes we lost We have had good times since the end of the war Thanks to one of our greatest enemies ination

the start of the war there were 658114 workers employed in Canadian industry production then stood at $738000000 In 1949 the number employed was 1171207 while production reached $2591800 657 At heart the voters the grown up people want inflation They ex pect that in time there will come reaction but they hope to be on the safe side when the blow falls The party leaders thought when the byelections came in sight that everything was clear so far as the government was concerned clean sweep should not have sur prised thc politically wise There was ground swell which might have indicated that there were those who thought with the Scots that The best of folk are the better of bein spoke to The voice they heard was surprisingly strong We have seen the result Of the votes It told the government that something should be done to cut costs and get more value for the money spent Thoughtful Canadi nns want to know what would hap pen if costs of government continue to increase while prices of farm products fell off substantially Rising Costs Let us have the facts Costs of production have risen This is true of almost every industry in cluding agriculture It is due pri marily to inflation plus tremendous burdens Of taxation The farmers know they have to cut costs The government has to meet obliga lions involved in rearmamcnt ap proximately billion for social ser vices The votersrcalize
