This is es- pecially true of the braking system and the tires, which determine the driver's ability to come to a safe stop. Operation of windshield wip- ers should be checked, and headlamps and tail-lamps adjusted and refocused if necessary, for complete .safety night and day, in rain, shine, or fog. The prevalence of fog n the Autumn jus- tifies special suggestions for safe- driving under these conditions. The safe rule for driving, at any time, is keep to speed at which you can stop your car in the clear space ahead." The clear space ahead is greatly shortened by fog. of course, and the safe-driving speed is reduced by just that much. aries of Mr. T. S. Cooper and his as- sistant and other items of cost.

Will Form Club For Young Men A movement is on foot to secure the town hall for the activities of a club to be formed in Flesherton for the benefit of the older boys and young men of the village so that they will have a place to congregate and occupy their time with sporting activities, physical training and social enjoy: ment. With this end in view the vill- age Council was approached Tuesday evening and their consent was given to the project, the club to heat and light the building.
