The most recent available figures for 5 to 14-year-old children show a total of 58 fatalities in Ontario from Septem- ber to May inclusive, compared with 67 in the same period of the year before. On a number of occasions Highways Minister Hon. George H. Doucett has publicly commended the province's teachers and schools for their continuous safety education | work. Even a small decrease in the number of casualties justifies such efforts. It also lends emphasis to the fact that our children will shortly be leaving school for two months-- during a period when traffic is expected to be heavier than ever before in our history. At such a dangerous time all our children will have their thoughts far from such sobering ideas as what teacher has to say about safety. Motorists and pedestrians must therefore be particularly concerned about child safety at this time of year. Nothing is more tragic than the sudden and essertially needless death or crippling of a-young child hit by an automobile. Such a shock might happen to any one of us through a moment's inattention. Parents cah help by reminding children of the unusually large number of cars on the road in the summer and early fall; discussing with children and encouraging the use of | safe play areas and of safe traffic-free routes when going anywhere; making older children responsible for keeping the little ones out of danger. There are, however, definite limits to the amount of safety-consciousness a child's mind "will absorb. The last chance to avoid an accident usually rests with the motorist. Highway officials have issued a timely reminder to watch out for children whenever there is any possibility of their being on or near the streets. Children act impulsively and may dart out from behind parked cars, so the motorist must be pre- pared for unexpected actions in unexpected places, especially during the summer months. Fighting Disease Medical men in Britain are soon to call on atom aid for important new experiments in diagnosing serious diseases. A large atomic pile at Harwell Research Station, Berks., will start operating very shortly. It will produce enough atomic by-products for Britain's own immediate needs and a possible surplus for export to the Continent. The 'atomic doctors' will work in close collaboration with North American specialists who already have atomic by-products in use. "The Gleep", a small-scale pile .at Harwell, is already | "cooking" 160 samples of radio-active chemicals a month-- carbon, sodium, potassium, iodine, gold, silver and so on. Increased quantities from the new pile will meet the demands of research workers and doctors all over Britain. These radio active elements are the trail-blazers of great new discoveries in medical science. When fed into bok i tissues of the human body, they act like radium. They can be traced through the most complicated pro- cesses or into the most inaccessible parts of the body. Health Plan Accepted There will be hearty approval throughout the province of the decision of the Ontario Government to accept the generous offer of the Federal Government of participation in a national health plan, says the Kingston Whig-Standard. The announcement was made by Ontario Health Minister Russell T. Kelley, and according to a Federal Government source, it means that "practically all" of the nine provinces have indicated their approval of the plan. Says the Kingston paper further: This result was fully expected and freely predicted. The provinces had everything to gain and nothing to lose by accepting the Federal offer. Acceptance did not involve the slightest obligation with regard to Dominion-provincial re- lations; the only obligations incurred by provinces are in the cases of cancer control and hospital construction. There the provinces must contribute as much as, or more than, the Dominion. It is a fair provision, and it is extremely unlikely that it will mean any expenditure by the Ontario Government not already contemplated. The provision for hospital construction is perhaps the most important feature of the Federal Government's health plan proposal. It had become increasingly obvious that noth- ing comprehensive in the way of a hational health plan would be possible until a marked increase in hospitalization accom- modation, facilities and staff were provided. With the hos- pital insurance plans now in operation, the demand for hospitalization in some communities already exceeds accom- modation available. This situation would -have been ag- gravated if the Federal health plan had included immediate extension of hospitalization insurance. That error was carefully avoided, and a preliminary plan was drawn up and submitted which should help to provide a i thoroughly sound foungation for a national health program. hon 'EEEEasy, Now! ' Rs Ottawa, June 26 -- Down in the plush Grill Room of the Chateau | Laurier the party was progressing | beautifully. The guests had arriv- | ed flushed and beaming after a late cocktail hour. Before the soup course was finished the champagne | glasses had been filled and refilled. | A Member of Parliament was guest | of honor and the mellow mood was | creeping over him. He caught him- | self modding occasionally and he | would = straighten up and smile around. Service was slow, for it was a | supper dance, The guests rose and | danced between courses and the | MP found himself suddenly alone | at the table. He felt sleepy. His | head nodded. Gradually it sank a | little lower and finally it came softly to rest in an almost-empty soup plate. His friends hurried back and touched his shoulder and | he straightened up and wiped the | smear of tomato off his face. | "Hah!" cried a newspaperman attending the party. "Just imagine if that plate had been full. Can you see the headlines--"MP Drowns IN Soup Bowl!" HE WAS A TORY -- A wise guy on Parliament Hill had this philo-| sophy about the method the var- ious parties would use to obtain money to run a government: The Liberals would .take theirs by heavy taxation (as now). The CCF would take theirs from the rich, The Social Creditors would take theirs from the air. The PC's would take theirs from the ground. Nothing subtle about his propagan- da. We're still supposed to be a capitalist country. Let's develop the country instead of taxing ev- eryone to death," said he. THEY STAYED HOME -- The swank residential area of Ottawa is known as Rockcliffe and in its fine | homes and shaded streets live the | well-to-do of the capital. - Most of | Rockcliffes people own cars and | employ maids and other servants and generally they live a good sub- stantial life, Most of these people would be expected to vote either Liberal or Progressive Conserva- tive. How did they cast their ballots in the Ontario provincial election? More than half of them didn't vote at all. Rockcliffe had 1,010 qualified voters on election day. Only 453 voted, The other 457 didn't both- er. > The people of Rockcliffe, as you can we) imagine, are the people who wall against Socialism and Communism, In their clubs and at their bridge parties they fight many wordy battles against the Socialists who threaten their way of life. The people of Rockcliffe; like the people everywhere, have only one weapon, It's the vote. When they had the chance they didn't use it. This situation applies to almost every well-to-do community in nada, But there is one further point about the Rockcliffe dwellers. Most of them are senior civil ser= vants, living on the $7,000 to $18, 000 salaries paid them out of the public treasuty, If the Socialists win an election they will not only oust these peo- ple from their good jobs, but oust them from their homes. Take these people off the public payroll-- and what would they do for a living? FAMILY NOTE--John Lambert Gibsoy, Member for Comox-Alber- ni, was an unashamed rubber-neck- er last Sunday in a sight-seeing launch that chugs through Ot- tawa's lovely Rideau Canal. Otta- wa's proud people avoid the launch as being "common", but Gibson lost no dignity.

Williams A sks Ottawa To Give Provinces Aid In Dealing With Labor Ottawa, June 26 (CP)--The Fed- eral Labor Department was urged in the Commons Friday to co-oper- ate more closely with the provinces in settling industrial disputes. Arthur Williams ( , Ontario), a veteran Ljabor orgaflizer who en- tered the House only this week, said the department should offer the use of its machinery even in cases that are under provincial Jurisdiction. The new member, speaking on La- bor Minister Mitchells estimates, also suggested that the de ent should move more quickly in dis- putes within its own territory. These should not be allowed to reach the point where "minds are inflamed." Mr. Mitchell replied that his de- partment made a practice of trad- ing cautiously where provincial jur- isdiction was concerned. Some of the provinces, notably Quebec, were touchy on this point. "In national as well as interna- tional affairs," 'he added, "I think we are all better off when we sta in our own back yards," : Clarence Gillis (CCF, Cape Bre- ton South) suggested that so far as Ontario was concerned, that prov- ince"s adoption of the new federal labor code should mean the Domin- ion could act in its industrial dis- putes. In reply, Mr. Mitchell pointed to. a recent decision of the Nova Scotia Supreme Court declaring the provinces could not delegate labor Jurisdiction to the Dominjon. Labor Minister Mitchell told the House his mediation efforts were continuing in the Great Lakes ship- ping dispute, but he warned that continued violence would make the attainment of a negotiated settle- ment more difficult. During discussion of his estimates --which were approved by the Com- mons--Mr., Mitchell said he is cess Canada has had in fitting Eu- ropean displaced persons into em- ployment, y He said that when Canadian em- ployers ask for displaced persons their statement is checked to see "sometimes astounded" at the suc- | if Canadian workers are available for the vacant positions. Replying to statements made yes- terday by Mr. Gillis, the minister said the government insists that employers pay the DP's the prevail- ing wage rates. The DP's are free Jo join any labor or other organiza- on, a DP made complaints to the gov ernment. These complaints were immediately investigated and if proved to be founded the DP's was moved to work elsewhere. Mr. Mitchell said the Ontario Hy- dro had brought in 1,600 DP's to work on power projects. Only one has left to seek work elsewhere. The -DP"s, he said, are "well screened" before they are accepted for movement to Canada. "We do not want any Commun- ists or Nazis here," he said. "There is a big enough place for those fel- lows elsewhere." He believes any immigrant would have a "colossal nerve' to come ferent than the one which Cana- dians wanted to maintain, Mr. Mitchell said the government still hag in effect ' plans under which it pays the transportation of a man to a new job. This system is used, he said, to eliminate pockets of unemployment. For instance, the government has paid the transportation of unem- ployed Maritime workers moving to available employment in Central Canada. Some 2,644 workers from the Maritimes have been moved under this plan. 4 HELD FOR THEFTS Toronto, June 26--(CP)-- Police Friday arrested four department store employees on theft charges and said investigators shad uncov- dise through use of customers' dis- carded receipts.
