- MONDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1948 "THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE FIVE "WHITBY NEWS Car Check Now Good Way To Stop Accidents -- Chief A car check-up now may save trouble later on motorists were ad- | vised today by J. William Elliott, Chief Constable of the Town of Whitby, which is co-operating with the Ontario Department of High- ways in.urging better vehicle care as an important means of prevent- ing winter traffic tie-ups ang auto accidents. "Safety inspection should result in correction where needed," it was advocated. "Brakes, lights, battery, tire chains, defroster and wind- shield wipers should be looked over, not overlooked. There's a lot of truth in the old saying, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." During the winter months street clearance crews and highway snow removal teams will put forth their best efforts to keep roads open and reduce the danger of ice, but driv- ers must be ever-conscious of their individual responsibilities for acci- dent prevention, it was pointed out. "With a good vehicle and good roads, drivers must realize that their own safety and the safety of cthers depends directly on how they behave behind the wheel," Chief Elliott said. "Drivers must avoid jack-rabbit get-aways, lengthen distance be- tween cars, start stopping sooner, apply brakes gradually, use tire chains when needed, always be alert for pedestrians and avoid parking where cars will impede snow removal crews," he added.

House Plants Need Rest in Winter | According to horticultural offi- | cials of the Dominion Department of | Agriculture, winter should be a sea- | son of rest for house plants. It | should be a period of relaxation | and an opportunity to store up en- ergy for later activity. The resting period 'induced by the shortened days and lowered ' temperatures. plants this slowing process may be | tinct and unmistakable. Bulbous to bloom and others will do so feebly. Most of those which will | flower at this. season have 'been | conditioned or prepared for bloom- ing during the preceding months | of summer or autumn. | Recognition of the above facts | ) imperceptible, with others it is dis-| -- Flood Waters Surge Over Five States While many places in Canada have been treated fo first snowfalls of the season -- even though some of them have been the nearest glimpse of things to come--tforrential rains in five southern U.S. is naturally | threatening thousands of lives and causing damage already counted in millions of dollars.

The flood waters also inundated the Bobby lanta, Ga.; states are Jones golf course, right. --Central Press Canadian indicates the winter treatment. All plants are an instance of complete | practices which tend to stimplate rest. Many. house plants will cease growth should be held in'check Less water is needed, potting and root disturbance of any kind should be suspended. Fairly low tempera- tures are desirable, but may bz dif- ficult to obtain. The' temperature of the home must of necessity be maintained at a point favouring the comfort of the human rather than the plant inmates. It is a conservative state- ment that places a winter dwelling | house temperature at #0 degrees. This is much too high for a great many plants. It is a good growing temperature for warmth-growing plants under conditions of spring daylight and ample humidity. But the combined effects of high tem- perature, comparative larkness and a dry atmosphere are not favorable to general plant health. Perhaps the reasonable attitude to take in this respect is to main- tain a day temperature around 70 degress with a drop to about 60 degrees after retiring. Farm Products Marketed By Co-Operatives Farm products marketed through local co-operatives and affiliated organizations in Ontario during '| 1946-47 were valued at a total of $79,023,349, it is revealed in a par- ticularly interesting 72-page booklet issued by the Ontario Department of Agriculture. The book is just off the press and is available at no charge. Application should be made to the Ontario Department of Agri- culture or to the local Agricultural Representative, Interest within the past ten years in co-operative organizations to provide marketing, distribution and service facilities in Ontarjp have increased to a marked degree, a spokesman for the Ontaro Depart- ment of Agriculture said. Co-operative leaders decided therefore that there was a need for a complete survey of the nature, extent and functicns of all co-oper- ative organizations in Ontario. As a result the Hon. Thomas L. Kennedy, . Ontario Premier and Minister of Agriculture acceded to a request from the Ontario Federa- tion of Agriculture and the Ontario Co-operative Union, for such a sur- vey. It was carried out by co-opera- tion of the Ontario Department, the Dominion Department and other groups and the very complete booklet is the result. It is the first financial analysis of the functions, volume of busi- ness, membership and financial structure of every type of co-oper- ative activity in operation in On- tario ever to be published. It is the result of a thorough study of reports on operation of 228 marketing, distribution and service co-operative groups during 1946-47. Capital borrowed from all sources amounted to $2,575,667. Amount outstanding. at the end of the year was $1,806008. Assets reported at | ers' clubs out of an estimated 35 the end of the year by 186 co-|reported group purchases of farm operatives amounted to $11,250,820. Fixed assets, less allowances for depreciation were placed at $5,038,- 49 949. Total members' equity, which in- cludes loans from members, paid up share capital, unallocated reserves and surplus amounted to $6,410,485 or 56.9 per cent of total liabilities. Members and shareholders num- bered 65,533 of which 51,786 were considered as active patrons and customers, Non - member patrons and customers were estimated at 46,897 or 46.4 per cent of all patrons and customers. The report shows that managers ranged in age from 20 to 78 and 58.5 per cent of all managers were over 40 years of age. Over half the managers reported more than 10 years of. business experience and over 25 per cent more than ten years in co-operative business. Al- mcst 80 per cent of the managers had high school education at least and 18 were college graduates. Eighty per cent cf all managers re- ceived more than $5,000 salary. Total number employed in co= operatives totalled 4,135. Salaries paid by 173 co-operatives totalled $3,352,423. Two hundred and four farmer-owned cheese factories throughout the Province reported sales of dairy products at $9,637,821. This does not include subsidies or premium for quality. Twenty farm- supplies to a value of $304,221. Other organizations of a co-oper- ative type in the Province operating during 1946-47 included farmers' mutual fire insurance companies, local telephone campanies and far- mers' group bargaining associations of various types. The booklet was published and the survey conducted under joint auspices of the Economics Division, Marketing Service of the Dominion Department of Agriculture, Ottawa headed by J. E. O'Meara and J. B. Nelson and others of the Co-opera- tion and Markets Branch, Ontario Department of Agriculture, Torontc. Publication of the book was auth- orized by Hon. T. .. Kennedy, On- tario Premier and Minister of Agri- culture for Ontario. FELL TO DEATH Toronto, Dec. 6--(CP) -- D. W.
