gdttvtttp bridging the gap the story is going the rounds about the new yorker who was asked by his wife to bring home two loaves of french bread so he went to idlewild airpor boarded a et plane for paris and was back in the space of a few hours with truly french bread the story may be exaggerated but it points up the progress being made in travel facilities the latest development in travel however is the plans for either an english channel tunnel or a bridge the ancient desire to connect britain and the european continent with some kind of a dovercalais roadway is being stirred by four plans suggested to a channel tunnej study group three of the plans propose tunnels under the english channel 41 to 53 feet wide and costing from 200 million dol lars to 268 million the fourth plan the one which stirs the imagination isjhe brainchild of american english an french construction engineers they have in mind a 21 mile bridge over the channel this bridge 110 feet wide would handle railroad auto motorcycle and bicycle traffic and would be 200 feet high at certain spans so that even the queen mary could pass beneath with ease spans would be generally 740 feet apart and mass produced piers would be floated into position at least 800 000 tons of structural steel would be used 5 000 workers would be employed for five years total cost would be 560 million dollars whether or not the sludy group willfcuy the engineers enthusiastic proposal is con lecture for centuries men have dreamed pf hopping the big moat which is ihe chan nel some men have had only trade and peace in mind others napoleon and hitler to name two had different thougnts the channel has been both a wonderful protec tion and an annoyance to bridge the channel would leave un conquered only one challenge in that tern tory as every swimmer knows that would be to swim the channel lengthwise let trilliums grow in ontario the white carpets of trilliums are not quite as plentiful as they once were indiscriminate picking and the cultivation of more and itior land leaves the beautiful white flower less plentiful on sunday we saw along a back road that rare sight a carpet of beautiful white trilliums the quantity of the flowers stopped us because we had doubted such numbers of the plants still existed in one place the tnllium of course is our provincial floral emblem officially adopted in 1937 the tnllium was recommended by a special com mittee of botanists to the ontario horttcul tural association which canvassed the views of other horticultural societies in the pro vince in a british botanical work published in 1760 there is a reference to the tnllium as the herb true love of canada the white miliums that dot our wood lands and carpet some are as typically can adian as is the maple leaf or beaver we can only hope that the indiscriminate tnllium picking has been slowed by the repeated and annual warnings against de stroymg the flowers they were never meant to decorate a table they are far more attrac live and for a greater length of time m their natural habitat the woodlands of ontario let the trilliums grow fireworks are for fun can playing with fireworks be consider ed fun when it results in headlines like these frecracker joke kills two friends 12 year old may be blinded after firecracker explosion boy hurls firecracker into babys strol ler there is no greater irony than a practical oke that results in death or inury true deaths and injuries due to fireworks are not many in proportion to the total accident rate in canada but the trouble with those that do occur is that they begin as fun and end in disaster far more frequent than deaths from fireworks are the ugly permanent injuries they cause because a friend played a joke on him a child can go through life with impaired eyesight or unsightly scars fire authorities tell us that the most fre quent cause of mishap with fireworks s ihe somewhat impish urge amongst youngsters to play tricks with them unfortunaiely these tricks get out of hand rather rapidly often children throw lighted firecrackers between screen and inner doors into mailboxes gar ages and even vacant cars this can cause a raging blaze or explosion obviously most of the children don i reolue until too late the serious consequen ces of their pranks commented f h ellis general manager of the ontario safety lea gue if they did probably far fewer such incidents would occur lets feat fireworks with the respect ex plosives deserve this holiday weekend were confused we are confused we know monday is a holiday but what is
