QUIZ FEATURES LIT. PROGRAM AT HIGH SCHOOL Fourth Form Presents Fine Varled Program on Thursday, Wlth Fashion Parade and Songs A quiz contest was the main feature of the literary society pro- gram put on by Fourth Form on Thursday in BMH.S. auditorium.À Numerous pupils were called out of the audience and had their ability tested by simple but tricky questions. It was in charge of Kitty Storey, Norah Meredith and Charles Hoar. The fashion parade was also another highlight of the program, presented by the girls of the form who modelled dresses from the early eighteen hundreds right up to giving the audience what thej well dressed girl is gomng to wear1 on the boardwalk of 1939. Ap-1 propriate background of music was set by Helen Williams at the « piano. The boys of 4th Form gave their version of Ferdinand the Bull which was rendered somne-1 what humorous through the lack of musical ability. The "four fair femmes of fourth," Kathleen Baker, Edith Rackham, Betty Emmett and Pat Wilson sang- "The Masquerade Is1 Over." Norma Searle presented a very snappy tap dance to the tune of "The Easter Parade." T h e Benny Goodman of Fourth, in or- -dinary 111e known as Breiýton Rickard, played the current popu- lar song "Deep Purple."l Program concluded with the singing of the form song, with lyrics written by Kay O'Neill and Evelyn Harnden, to the tune of "Jeepers Creepers." Helen Williams played the accom- paniment for ail musical numbers, while Byron "George" Crawford was the master of ceremonies. Purpose 0f Highway Rules Outlined By Statistician At LionsClub Meeting Monday A. R. Rowan, Toronto,ý ANNIVERSARY PREACHER 'relis 0f Conditions Which Cause Auto Accidents. Efforts to promote safer high- way conditions, which the Ontario Government is making through its Motor Vehicles. Branch, were outlined in an interesting address by A. R. Rowan at Lions Club Monday night. Mr. Rowan is Sta- tistician in the Accident Record- ing Department of the Depart- ment of Highways. "It often seems to, me," began Mr. Rowan, "that many people fail to see good in government de- partments. If more publicîty were f iven to the work and to the prob- lems with which we are faced, and if A were more generally ap- r reciated that we haven't limit- 1ss facilities, personnel and funds orý preventive activities, there would be less tendency to criti- cize than there is to-day. The three main factors contrib- uting to the accident problem are the driver, the vehicle and the highway. The driver is the most important, because it is virtually impossible to make any individual act according to any set pattern.

Control o! drivers is attempted in three ways, continued the speaker, the right ta obtain and retain licenses and the contral o! drivers on the highway. These are applied contrais and there must be in addition, the self-control ex- ercised by drivers. As a primary code o! behaviaur, we have the Highway Trafic Act, written ta help you avoid the suiffering which you might undergo if gov- erned only by yaur own pleasure and convenience. Failure ta ob- serve the provision o! the Act brings into action other forms of contrai. The entire pracedure o! the Motor Vehicles Branch is based on the theory that driving is not a right, but rather a privilege - a right to drive right - which can be withdrawn at any time. In, Ontario, every djx4-3s show that he is capable or oper- ating a motor vehicie before re- ceivîng a license. In this way, we can determine what a driver can do, but not what he wiil do.
