ALWAYS BE CAREFUL VE ACCIDENTS By J. WILLIAM MURRAY | Times-Gazette Police Reporter The most prevalent cause of ac- cidents on city streets in 1954, the | Oshawa Police department de- clares, is "the nut behind the wheel."" The best way to prevent an accident is to '"'watch the car behind the car in front of you." Traffic laws were drafted for the safety of drivers and pedestrians and if they observed these simple rules there would be no accidents. Statistics for the year 1954 show the intersection of Gibb street and Park road as the black spot of Oshawa. There were 11 accidents at this corner. Close behind came the intersec- tion at King and Mary streets. The records shows ten accidents at this crossing. Last of the infamous three corners is the Albert and Bruce streets intersection nine , cases of wrinkled fenders and broken headlights occurred at this spot. TOTAL WAS LOWER Despite the high toll at these three intersections the overall total of accidents last year was much lower than that for the year pre- ~ Three Corners Stand Out . As Worst Accident Spots vious. Last year showed a total of | | 864 mishaps, while in 1953 the re- lack of consideration is emphasiz- | cord showed a total of 1280 acci- | dents. The Oshawa police department, with its new motorcycle division, and the Traffic Advisory Council worked hard during the past year, and many improvements were made to meet the increasing car population in the city. To this might be attributed the decrease in accidents on the city streets in i Tax | 1954. | Streets were extended to relieve | traffic congestion in certain areas. Flasher signs were installed at some intersections and experi. ments were carried on with illum- | inated 'no left turn' signs. These are but a few of the ad-| vances made. The traffic council | is working hard to help the mo-| torist and the pedestrian. Do the motorist and pedestrians help the | council to help them? This ques-| tion is not difficult to answer. | FEW CO-OPERATE Drivers who give consideration | to others are too few.

Explanation of more difficult clues: CLUES ACROSS: 3. Sign is best. She is almost certain to Sigh either in sorrow or in relief ot get- ting some sort of contract. "'Might Sign' indicates une certainty. She probably would feel she must Sign but pride in her past fame or the realization that she is a "hos been" might make her hesitate at the less favorable terms so she might not Sign. . Putter is preferred The weight of Butter you buy may well be a standard habitual purchase, hardly meriting "'consideration." When buying ao Putter you consider the weight among other factors, . When you ore Aware of something, you are surely "fully conscious' of it, When first you woke up, you are Awake os opposed to "asleep'"' -- but not necessarily fully con- scious, . Will is best. A wrong figure in a Bill does not ordinarily lead to 'much dispute' for usually it can generally be more easily corrected thon a mistake in a Will, It is mistakes in Wills which in variably create disputes, . Company might. be "wel come'! when there is None. On a Lone journey there is none. On a Leng journey you may have company anywoy. The clue does not say you haven't, . A Bold mon is apt to dis- tinguish himself by his acts, and therefore moke him- self conspicuous. Baldness will not necessarily make a man 'conspicuous', since he may well be wearing a hat ond his companions may also be Bald. . . Out is preferred. When a man's deliberately Cut, it may, in certain circum- stances, be necessary for him to make a fuss about it. When a man is Out, that is a simple unalterable fact about which there's little point in fussing. . Swedes come from Scondin- avia and are associated with it. Sweden is*part of Scon dinavia, and this more thon 0 mere association. is .A woman gets a lot of pleasure out of g Chat -- perhaps more than some men can understand. Just Times-Gazette CROSSWORDS NO WINNER TO PUZZLE NO. 64 As there was no correct answer to puzzle No. 64 the THE CORRECT ANSWER over, making the prize for "a Coat" is not self-suffi- cient os on onswer -- it merely keeps her warm, It is a new Coat or a "smart" Coat that gives her "pleats. The clue implies that you expect or want it to be re- turned, favoring Lend. Th cards there are mony cases in which you will definitely expect or hope for a re- turn of your Lead. CLUES DOWN: 3. Curious is better. The ask- ing of questions is very apt to the idea of satisfying your Curiosity. You may well be Furious with youre self, in which case it is un- likely that you would want to ask questions, 2. New is better. Alhtough Few will become stars, there is no reason why many of them should not hope to do so. The clue is indis- putably true of New. 3. You have probably visited, or been in, a hospital, and know what sort of Smell you find there. It is detect- able whether enough people have experienced a per- iod in hospital to justify Spell, for which, in any case, the clue-wording is a little strained. It should be "what a Spell in hospital is like", not "what a Spell is like in hospital", 4. Grin is best. It will please mother to see baby Grin for then she knows baby is happy. It will not always be good to have baby Gein since it is possible baby may already be fatter thar should be which would well worry mother. 6. In 0 Talk -- which implies some sort of instructional aim --- it is certainly for better to be brief and not digress. Many a classic ™ Tale is long and rambling; Alice in Wonderland" for instance, is hardly "short ond to the point", 16. A man might well be an- noyed if you Failed him, Not so for Foiled, however, for commonly in a game you Feil your opponent in various woys and this is port of the gome. 18. The steps token to help or educate a Dunce are cer- tainly important. The steps of a Dance ore usually standard, and they are the Dance not something 'very important in the ease of" a Dance. 19. The singling out of an oe- tress points to Fat, since Fatness may well be go big- ger calomity to her than to, say, an ordinary house- wife. Also, it is really choosing Hat, rather than just "getting" (which might merely mean receiv- ing) it that may give her o lot to think about a 20. Gate is best particularly be- cause the more natural phares would be to "make® a Date, not "fix" a Date. ---
