The section says: "When, under this section, the driver or operator of a ve- hicle or car of an electric rail- way is permitted to turn left or right, such driver or operator shall yield the right of way to estrians and other traffic lawfully within the intersection and to pedestrians lawfully lawfully within a crosswalk." RSO 1960, c. 172, S. 70(9); » 1960-61, c. 34, S. 10(4). "TIPS When turning from one street "into another, always watch for «pedestrians that are crossing the street or who may be stepping off the curb. Whenever a driver sees any pedestrian in the intersection, the driver should wait until he is certain that his turning move- ment will not interfere with the »pedestrian. Remember that the pedes- trian who is crossing with the light has the right of way over ALL vehicular traffic. CITY AND DISTRICT SEES ROBIN "Spring is coming fast," Nor- man A. Rae, 89 Patricia avenue, said today. How does he know? He saw a robin in a tree be- hind his home this morning.

It can treat 100,000 tons @f sugar beets annually, says sales, GM of Canada has pro- duced 7,557 cars and trucks for export since the start of 1964 model production -- 2,230 more vehicles than were built for overseas markets in the com- parable period of the 1963 model year. VEHICLE SAFETY Vehicle safety was empha- sized during 1963 through two approaches: sefety checks by provincjal and municipal police officers, and voluntary inspec- tions at the Department's safety-check lanes. About a mil- lion vehicles in all were checked or inspected for mechanical fift- ness during 1963. The depart- ment has made a careful study of vehicle safety, In this regard they have looked into the pros and cons of compulsory vehicle inspection. As a point of in formation: It would cost some- thing like $12,000,000 to set up a system for the compulsory in- spection of every vehicle-in On- tario twice a year at govern- ment testing areas, and it would cost about $5,000,000 a year to Egdio Pyongyang. pulsory inspection of vehicles would cause a sizeable reduc- tion in the number of accidents, the Department would recom- mend it without hesitation. But the facts suggest that compul- sory inspection would not bring this benefit. The subject will be kept under continuous review as new information becomes avail- able. In its first 18 months of oper- ation, the Motor Vehicle Acci- dent Claims Fund has paid over $5,700,000 in settlement of 6,013 claims. This number of settle- ments is moré than half the total achieved in 15 years by its predecessor, the Unsatisfied Judgment Fund. The majority of new cases have been settled by negotiation, without the ne- cessity for a court judgment. The. provision for out-of-court settlement is one of the out- standing features of the new fund. The motor Vehicle Accident Claims Fund has lived up to its promise since its promise since its establishment in July, 1962. In practice, this fund is pro- viding Ontario motorists with the best protection on the con- tinent against financial loss in accidents caused by those who are not insured. At the same time, largely be- cause of the extra $20 fee for the licencing of vehicles that do not carry adequate insurance, proportion of uninsured motor- ists has been reduced to 2.3 per cent, This compares favorably with provinces and states whose legislation is supposed to make insurance compulsory. ™ \gram.

Call PERRY Day or Night 723-3443 AIR CADET NEWS BY FLATESPIN FUMBLE Monday night parade found most of the cadets at home studying for their exams or else slopping through the mud to the hall. With exams on right now I don't expect too many people to show up Sunday night or Mon- day night and I don't think that there will be a column next week either, because yours truly has to write these keen little papers too. More Mishaps At Crossings Level crossing accidents are becoming more frequent, par- ticularly in rural sections of the country, according to the All Canada Insurance Federation. The Federation, which repre- sents more than 200 competing Canadian fire, casualty and auto insurance companies warns that level crossing accidents are al- most always fatal, These steps are recommended to avoid such accidents: 1, Play it safe; never race a train to a crossing even if you feel you have plenty of time. 2. Slow down as you approach tracks; it's not only safer but easier on your car. 3. Be careful of double tracks; a second train may be hidden by one' which just passed in the other direction. 4. Don't get trapped on a crossing in heavy traffic; if wait until you have plenty of room to cross. 5. Beware of loose gravel which may make it difficult to stop quickly as you approach a level crossing. 6. Shift into a lower gear if necessary; the short, steep in- cline leading to many level crossings may cause your car to stall. 7. Lower your radio volume and open the car window as you approach a crossing so that you can hear the whistle of an approaching train. 8. Always look for trains; sometimes wig-wag signals may not be working. , 9. Remember . . . the aver- age train takes only 30 seconds to cross, whether you are in the way or not. Cadets Plan Trip Monday's classes were films consisting of power flight and swimmin, for survival. These were enjoyed by everyone even though the brand new projec: tor gave up and died when it |tried to electrocute the CO and failed. TRIP A trip to Toronto is planned, to visit the 201 squadron and beat them at basketball. They just won't be the same after we finish with them. The people going will be just the basketball team and a few spares. There is also a drill competition in a few weeks which we are try- ing to get to. Any one interested in kicking the heck of the box horse and perhaps getting kicked back is invited to join the vaulting team which is to he coached by the elder Dittmar. If this team gets to be pretty good, they will probably put on a show at the annual Inspection and also in Toronto, The trip to the States might be off if the competition is held in March, as we won't have time to plan or practice. The funny things that hap- pened Monday and Sunday nights were a little different from other week's. We hear the CO was trying to stare down a coon that jumped him down stairs. What's this we hear about Mr. Evans driving way down in the swamp and then trying to get that machine out of six feet of pure mud. There was also a friendly card game in the NCO's lounge. SLOT RACING Sunday saw the front room turned into a regular Daytona Beach as the Slot Racing Club got under way and saw many speedy little machines burning up the old track. Thanks to F-S Anselstetter for letting us use his track. It really added some thing to the night. Along the lines of baskeball, it seems "Nasty Old Jim" makes a great referee if he is on your side. Sunday also saw some of the lucky cadets go swimming at the boys' club, It was really a ball, but I. think more people could have come and it would have been enjoyed by more. It would lower the cost per person.
