SATURDAY, AUGUST 19, 1950 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE --~ PAGE NINETEEN Four Per Cent of Drivers Account for 36 Per Cent Of All Traffic Accidents The worst killers on our high- ways are the accident repeaters-- the relatively few drivers' who get into accidents over and over again. In The Reader's Digest for Septem- ber, Clarence Woodbury geports that dccident repeaters -- about four percent of all drivers -- ac- count for 36 percent of all acci- dents. These figures emerge from an analysis of the records of thou- sands of drivers, made by Yale University over a six-year period. The same duties disclosed that 81 , percent never had been involved 'n serious. accidents; and another 15 percent had had only one accident each. Woodbury's article, condensed from The American Legion Maga- zine, gives further results of the Yale analysis. The driver who has been in one accident is twice as likely to get into another as the driver who has never been involved; the two-accident driver is three times as prone to another as the 'man who has had none; and the four-accident repeater is . seven times as likely to crash as the man with a clean record. Other statistical studies support the Yale findings, revealing a con- sistent pattern of highway casual- ties attributable to the small per- centage of repeaters. Last year more than 10,000 Americans were killed and about 350,000 injured by drivers who had been in previous accidents, Probably the best know: case on record is that of 29-year- old Hugh Gravitt, Atlanta taxi driver who ran down and killed Margaret Mitchell, author of 'Gone With the Wind." Gravitt had pre- viously committed 21 otuier traffic offenses, most of them :erious. Researchers discovered that re- peaters are not as emotionally stable as drivers with clean records, that they know less about driving regu- lations, prefer higher driving speeds and are "cockier about their tol- erance of alcohol." The taxi driver Gravitt is in prison, but thousands of others equally as dangerous are loose on North American roads. We could and should purge the highways of accident repeaters, the author says, through stricter licensing laws and examinations, and severer penalties. British Columbia, Ontario, New York State and Connecticut have inaugurated programs providing for the re-examination of all drivers involved in several accidents with- in a short period. Accident rates have been materially reduced as a result. Preparation For Winter Wheat Is Important Ottawa -- Adequate preparation of the soil for winter wheat is im- portant if the best returns are to be obtained from this crop. If sod is to be plowed down this should be done several weeks before seed- ing and the land thoroughly cultiv- ated two or three times after the sod has had a chance to rot. This will reduce to a minimum competi- tion from grasses and will pay divi- dends in better wheat yields as well as assist in the control of weeds. Winter wheat may follow sod, fal- low, hoed crops or spring cereals. If the sod was mainly grasses, manure may be applied before the sod is turned under. On land which has been manured or has grown legumes superphos- phate at 150 lbs. per acre seeded with the wheat should be beneficial. Otherwise a complete fertilizer such as 2-12-6 at 300 lb. per acre should be applied with the wheat. A soil analysis will indicate the best fer- tilizers to use. Tests on farmers' fields by the Cereal Division, De- partment of Agriculture, Ottawa, have given substantial increases in yields with 2-12-10 at 300 lb. per acres on the average, says A, G, O, Whiteside of the Central Experi- mental Farm. Some fields high in fertility have not shown any in- crease while others have doubled in yield where the fertility level was low. Winter wheat is seeded at 7 to 8 pecks per acre around the first week plants sufficient time to get es- tablished hefore freeze-up. THorough cleaning of the seed to remove all broken shrivelled and diseased kernels should be done. Treatment with mercurial dusts is necessary to control bunt or stink- ing smut and to lessen damage from seedling blights. All recom- mended varieties are susceptible to bunt including the new variety Cornell 595. Of the white winter wheat var- ieties, Cornell 595 and Dawson's Golden Chaff have proven to be well adapted for the main wheat growing areas. The former has given better yields than Dawson's and has the advantage of being resistant to loose smut which has been troublesome in western On- tario. In eastern Ontario, Rideau is recommended because of its extra winter hardiness. This has been clearly shown in tests. at Ottawa in 1950 as the open winter of 1949-50 resulted in more winter injury to Cornell 585 and to Dawson's Golden Chaff. than to Rideau. A new variety, Fairfield, a soft red winter wheat which was approved and licensed this year is being tried out in Kent County. It is resistant to loose smut and in tests conducted in that area it is shown to be a high yielder. It is more winter hardy than Cornell 585 or Dawson's JETS AT C.N.E.

Prairie 'North Becomes Uranium Bonanza Prince Albert, Sask. (CP). -- Northern Saskatchewan's lake-dot- ted wastelands may become Cana- da's latest and most-important bonanza. The rugged, almost - unsettled bush country--once considered just so much land to fill out the prov- ince's rectangular map--is the scene of several uranium strikes. Field parties from the Provincial Department of Mines, free-lancing university geology students and professional prospectors are comb- ing known and possible fields for claims. Federal security regulations are clamped on as seon as a field is proven, so no estim of its potential are publicized. " But min- ing concerns are shipping in ma- chinery, roads are being built, and government officials express cau- tious satisfaction with results to date. : Major Fields Abroad The world's major uranium fields | are in the Belgian Congo and Czechoslovakia. Latest big find is in the Nunn Lake area, 140 miles northeast of here, where uranite crystals con- taining from 80 to 90 per cent uranium have been blasted to the surface. ' A geological party under Dr. J. B. Mawdsley of the University of Sas- katchewan handled the blasting. Last fall four geology students , Once Bush from the University of Wisconsin found ore which assayed at 2.4 per cent uranium oxide in the La Ronge area, about 300 miles north. An assay Of 5 per cent is considered th mining if the find is access- ible. 3 Rich Deposits Found One of the oldest fields is the rich Black Lake deposit, 425 miles north of here; where a road is under con- struction to bring in heavy mining machinery. Provincial and federal governments are financing the road | along with the mining company. | Newest and most-spectacular find is in the Ace Lake area, 500 miles | north. Two prospectors this spring | | ferreted out the precious pitch-| blende near Lake Athabasca, in a property dropped by Eldorado Mines, which had held it for the federal government. The prospectors, George Findley and C. Lonetti, worked under a government assistance plan. Their strike zone ran in widths up to four inches. : The federal government takes over the production of all uranium strikes, paying the claim-holder a fee varying with the ore's value. Other major strikes are in the Goldfields and Stoney Rapids area. JAMIESON DRUES PROMPT DELIVERY! 241 KING ST.
