MATHEIR. 'bivisional Manager I ?HUBSDAY, JTJLY IMt, 1947 Holiday Casualties Mar- ndependence Day Observing Independence Day, Juiy 4, as the great national holi- day in the U.S.A., a tradition has grown up among the people of that great republic, that their in- dependence cannot be expressed better than by competing with death on the highways and other foolhardy risks undertaken to mark their accession to liberty of the individual. Adding up caiýualties over. the weekend it was found that 427 were killed outright and thous-, ands injured. Motor cars, water, firewater and fireworks were pro- minent ingredients in total toil. This holiday payoff and crime in the news adds greatly to the glee o! big newspapers as mourning enters countless firesides. War casulties sink into insig- nificance compared ,wîth the an- nual peacetime toîl of killedi and injured. According to 1947 f ig- ures it will be seen that Canad- ians with a growing tradition to imitate our neighbors to the south are competing in this destructive pastime as well. In proportion to population we run a close second to the U.S.A. Motoriste Comg9laln Bad Crosslng et C.P.R.

Through the lush garden caun- try of Western Ontario, the bus headed south to Rondeau Park, several thousanda of acres ai pen- insula jutting inta Lake Erie which have been perpetuated in their native state. The park and. its wild animal lie are maintairi- cd by the Provincial Government. After viewing sections af this rec- reational area and the nearby lànd-locked bay where many ac- quatic sports are leatured during the summer months, the bus again headed southward. A brief stop was made at the Glen Gordon Manar, a huge es- tate lying between No. 3 High- way and the Lake Erie shore, wh.lch will shortly be converted into a well-appointed summer hotel. The xnany - roomned man- sion was formerly the property of JeanGardon, well-known Met-* ropolitan Opera star. Wc were shown through the praperty by Howard James and Bill Gray,' and refreshments were served be- fore departure. Soon the skyscrapers of De- troit could be seen on the flat horizon as the bus proceeded into Windsor's suburbs. A .5op was made at the Prince Edw drd Hotel and the party was received by the Essex County Hotel Assoc- iation. A farewell 'banquet was held at the hotel, and then, one by one, the visitors bade fareweil as they lef t Windsor ta make connections with planes and trains td their homes.
