problem to teach little ones the dangers of rushing into the streets or playing behind parked cars We heard a practical sugges tion this week Take the mo del cars which are a traffic jam around your house said a young mother of three boys- can show your children just what will happen if they dont observe the rules of the road Its a simple matter to show them the folly of stepping into the lane of traffic from behind parked cars or the need of walk- lag on the left side of the high way to face the oncoming traf fic With the scene laid in min iature before their eyes they have a visual aid to

of five series scheduled to open here Monday at pm Game two goes at the fair grounds next Wednesday at chimes reports Pinups manag er Geo Watt Further games will be arranged early next week Better make it a point to be at the fair grounds for these playoff struggles The need to warn school child ren of traffic dangers and teach ordinary safety rules was stressed by Newmarkets Chief Constable Byron Burbidge in a comment this week There are increasing hazards which school children must face in traffic Aside from the volume of ve hicles on the road there is a tendency for drivers to regard the speed limit as a instead of the maximum speed permitted under ideal condi tions said the Chief Certain ly in the vicinity of schools or near parked cars a drivers vigilance must increase and his speed decreased because child ren are entirely unpredictable Nobody wants to become in volved in an accident or be the means of killing a child yet last year 3010 children between the ages of 5 and years were killed and injured in Ontario some crippled for life the classroom daily les sons in safety are effective but parents must supplement this instruction by continually re minding their youngsters about the dangers of the road and then set a good example good is it to teach a youngster to walk on the left side of the road facing traffic if he or she sees mother or father do Just the opposite Chief asks He also pointed out how im portant it is to send children off to school in plenty of time to avoid running There is no greater hazard than a child who is two blocks away from the school when the bell rings Everything he Is taught fa for gotten in a mad panicky dash to avoid being late Preservation of human life is the sworn duty of police officer but everyone has a stake in ridding the community of deathdealing accidents said the Chief Their is no better place to begin than with our children Teach them the rules of safety set a good example then drive as if your own child might run out from behind that parked car START AID COURSE FOR NURSES The opening class of the In structors course in first aid for registered nurses was held in the Agricultural hall on
