(Apr. 24) 15 accidental deathsin N. America every hour more accidents happen than at.work. For example, both parents in a family should use seat-beélts every time they are in the family car. "Millions of dollars are spent yearly on cancer and heart disease research so we should also be alloca- ting funds for accident pre- vention research to reduce needless accidents," said Joseph M. Kaplan, Vice- President of the Greater Los Angeles Chapter of the - National Safety Council. Mr. Kaplan was the guest speaker at Tuesday's All Conference Banquet of the Industrial Accident Preven- tion Association, at the Royal York Hotel, Toronto. More than 5,200 delegates attended the Conference. Kaplan told the Confer- ence delegates that there are 15 accidental deaths every hour of every day in North America. "I haven't got a simple solution to this problem, but the people of Canada and the United States should be dedicated to a solution." Mr. Kaplan said he toured the I.LA.P.A.'s Training Cen- tre in Toronto where indus- trial employees take courses in accident preven- tion techniques. Mr. Kaplan congratulated the Associa- tion on the valuable work being done at the Centre. "I hear that you are moving into a magnificent new building soon. I'd be quite happy if I could take the old one back home with me." Getting back to the theme of safety he asked, "Who is responsible for industrial accidents?" His answer was, "As far as I'm con- cerned it is the joint respon- sibility of management and labour, and both should work on a solution." Mr. Kaplan said that women are the -safety pro- tectors of the home where "@ALEK TRICIAN vs LIGHT WONT WORK} "MUST BE A HITCH" Auctioneers, .

A TEST OF COURAGE While every phase of society screams at us to become involved with sports, service clubs, the church, even real estate, as developers expound their new or unique plans for shared living -- there's another voice heard more and more often above the din -- and is usually an alibi for having neglected or shirked some obvious responsibility. "I don't want to get involved!" But there is a difference. In the first instance we gain as we give -- there's dividends. The second can pertain to a one-way street, or even a dead end. People have been hurt while trying to help. There may be no incentive to take that chance, no reason other than a stranger's need. But how many crimes have been committed, how many innocents have suffered or died because the one who could have helped, didn't intervene? And what might happen if no one ever tried? It's here we look backward across the years and clearly recall what it means to be helped by those who dare or choose, to really become involved. Anyone who remembers the end of World War 1 will also have vivid recollections of that grave illness, influenza, that-swept the country and most of the world soon afterwards. It came to us. + We were too young to have remembered the "details; which one of our large family was stricken first, or how the 'bug' was carried. Yet, many things relating to that difficult time remain firmly fixed in memory -- we were the last one to succumb. deadly. Neighbours who were able gave necessary care to the animals, but how or by whom our plight was announced to the outer world we didn't know. There were no telephones. But obviously, someone spoke and was heard. And two people walked into that infectious place with no thought for self. How long we'd hovered in the shadows we also didn't know -- days? a week? longer? But our first tentative emergence -- our first glimpse of the normal world was far from normal. A tall black-clothed man with black hair to match and a kindly face was struggling to open an ice-bound window, while a fair-haired white-clad lady moved softly about the room. Nothing seemed familiar. Dreamily we watched, but it wasn't a dream. They were people, they were strangers, and they were real. So our little-girl mind decided it must be Heaven. Gabriel and the Angel? But shouldn't the Angel have wings? We pondered this briefly, but soon were enveloped in sleep. Perhaps time passed or maybe it was merely suspended. However, the family recovered and a great debt was owed to a country minister and his wife. It was seemingly from Nowhere they'd come, and stayed, to care for a family of nine until they were able to manage. This was another story in the family ledger that was written in bold letters. Our family left their valley farm and it was much later they learned that their friends of the village kirk had gone too. Though it was assumed to be just another move in the life of a minister. But this was not so. As the years rolled by our personal life saw The disease was rampant in the area, and' Of Facts and Fantasy by Reta M. Berrill many changes in many places. And then, we were to meet again. : When we'd chosen our home-site in open country we found that one farm field and a couple of fences lay between our modest abode and the large brick bungalow on the hill. And it was here to semi isolation they'd come. Not as an extension of their former work but to find the restful quietude of his doctor's orders. We visited them and recalled their kindness to us. Finding the handsome man with the black hair we'd remembered, now wearing a thatch of white- ness that merged with his pillows. They were now accompanied by a maiden relative as helper-companion. And throughout the years these ladies maintained an interest in church work, tended a beautiful garden and nursed their invalid. Our physical handicaps barred us from being 'good visitor material' but our son though of tender years become our 'emissary' and quickly found friend and confidant there. That uncommon bond of understanding that sometimes exists between child- ren and advanced age. During his last years our Reverend Friend confided that he was tired and longed for release. All his old friends were gone and he was lonely. He slipped away one Springtime and it was said that he'd spent his last 20 years in bed. After the necessary arrangements the two ladies moved to the city which, strangely, was their natural habitat. The old house has since had many owners or tenants, and the town has encroached to the boundary-line where large signs have long pro- claimed the property as part of a parcel of land yet to be developed. The outbuidings have been razed, and the old house too, will be no more. In the meantime, young people of some modern cult find a haven there. Late-model cars come and Bo-- sometimes noisily. A casual passerby might see a fragment of tattered window-dressing move fur- tively and sense that eyes are on him. But no one pays them heed. We wonder if sometimes a phantom figure prowls the tangled garden, searching perhaps -- the first fragrant snowdrcp, or a last dewy rose. Or, if one small bedroom is brightened with perpetual impreg- nated light. Because we're loath to believe that, such lives are snuffed out like common candles. They were those who went boldly where angels might have feared. But accepted just as bravely that other life -- shut from the world and its people they loved. ' Our family's experience was but a sample of their way of life. And The Good Samaritan was not just a parable to preach on but one of the rules by which they lived. } It was Vittorio Alfieri an Italian writer of long ago who said 'Often the test of courage is not to die but to live." Footnote-- During a recent visit with an older brother -- a session of reminisence included this story, and his suggestion that we write it. So. for Elwood, we hope we have done it justice.
