jhar n acton fh press hnnuway march let imi at tmi with consideration there is a law egakist it bur pedeslrlaris as a role- are a fwlflstlc lot and do riot like to be in formers no- matter h6w gravely aggravated often the motorist goes serenely on hit way un- aware that he lias eft a ruffled temper and tone work for the dry cleaner when he went through the rnuddy street at ia good speed its too easy to splash these days this feb ruary is so mild and unllkeother februarys that its hard to reslls that rod conditions could be to springlike then too our streets are still suf fering from the sewer upheaval and have so much mud instead of nice clean pavement in such unusual conditions motorists are urged to go slow about our streets mud sling ing isnever nice and the greater the speed the farther it is thrown by a motor car remember motorists that tome times you are pedestrians and- you know how aggravating it is to be splashed w might leave this information for pedest- riafvsrtoo there is a law against splashing pedestrians we understand that all you have to do is get the motor vehicle number and prefer a charge and youll likely get your cleaning bill paid and the motorist will be fined if you are badly used you can try it but nobody wants to idalhal and it can al be avoided if motorists drive in town with consideration to road condi tions household hint most folks are a bit annoyed these days over the pet canines who prefer to eatout of garbage ipails rather than at home we too have the common annoyance we had no difficulty until recontlythe lid on the garbage container used to fit real snugly but one day it came in so dis figured that to say the least it doesnt fit snugly it is quite flat and depressed as if something had been run over it so the garbage pail lid fits loosely and its -urprtsing-how- soon the localhousehold pett discovered this accident in the daytime when we hear a rattling around the back porch we go to the door and as mildly as possible inform the dog that he or she is wanted at home by his or her guardian dogs we have found are very obedient and they scamper off quickly to the neighbors garbage container no doubt they are some distance from home but its the nocturnal visits that are disturb ing scrrrow we take the snow shovelwhich hasnt been too busy this winter and set it on top of the garbage container in such a manner that it slides toward the night visitor it makes quite a racket but it does prove effective in per forming the task of sending the dogs home with out disturbing the contents of the container we pass it on to our readers in case you too may be having difficulty in training other folks pets when they come unannounced everybodys business approximately ten years are spentttl school by the averagecanadlan child thalaitnatlpnal centusascertalned while this figure was better than previous averages the- increasing import- artee of education indicates that further improve ment ls necessary from march jth until march 10th is education week and at the slogan of the campaign states education is everybodys business at first education week was sponsored by the canadian teachers federation but at the realization of the value of education to each member of any com munity was realized more and more oronlia- lions-joined- to sponsor the national education week both materially and theoretically education is of prime importance for everyone materially ol course because our taxes support the system theoretically we must recognize the need for as much training as possible for the next genera tion they need social studios geography arid history to further their understanding of other countries that our own and past generations lacked figures on school attendance obtained from the last deconnial census in 1941 showed that about ten years was spent in school by an av erage child this was more schooling than re corded at any previous census and reflected a trend towards fewer dropouts in the lower school grades and an increase in the number who bridge the gap between public and high school the percentage of town and city child ren attending school was naturally higher than thav of rural pupils with 39 per cent of the urban population and 21 per cent of the rural an easter thought the easter seal campaign of the ontario society for crippled children started last week in the mails every householder received or will receive a set of easter seals with the appeal to help we know as well as everyone that this is only one of many worthy appeals and timmy the little lad who personifies the work may seem just another boy the work here is under the supervision of the rotary club and the funds raised in the eas ter seal campaign are supplemented by other club funds to help boys and girls who are physic ally crippled to get an even start in life it would surprise you to learn just what has been done for boys and girls right in our own town andjhe district around here it would be a bit embarassing to cite local cases but if you are doubtful just ask any rotarian of the local club for some local information it costs a latofmoneylor hospital care and special treatment required over a long period to correct the condition of crippled children lots of parents cannot afford this treatment and wll not ask for it these cases are found by the local rotarians and are helped through the funds raised in the easter seal campaign the 1951 timmy may be your neighbours child when you purchase easter seals you are contributing to the resurrection of some young life let your contribution be just as large as you can possibly affordmaybe larger population having nine or more years of school ing the reasons why the rural pupils are apt to diop out are obvious to attend high school they must leave their homes and then their services are needed on the farm it is an easy transition from helping with the farm work while attend- ing school to just helping with the farm work only one out of every 100 canadians finally graduates from a university while canadian statistics are hot unfavorable compared to other cbuntries they are not as good as we would like them to be at least every child should boable to continue his education if he has the ability education week was organzied to bring the values of education in canada and its aims to the attention of everyone in the hopes that im provements will be considered and accepted by individual citizens and that young canadians with education problems can be advised readily by almost anyone that education pays now
