drinking driver who caused 12 or 44 4 per cent of the deaths he notes with alarm of the drivers killed six of a total of ten drivers had been drinking mr mcwiuiams report prai scs the standard of police in vcligations which he said were improving but he states the courts need the help of expert mechanics and automotive en gineers to do a thorough in vcstigalion into the causes of traffic deaths there is a lacjtjf anj body to provide such expert assist ance and he suggests some thing along the lines of an automotive research centre as recommended bv the national research council will

involved people who were drinking and speeding mr mcwilhams revealed two of the fatalities involved cor vair cars both of which had tire pressures at a variance with the recommended level two unexplained accidents involved drivers who in day light hours crossed the centre of a highway and drove into oncoming traffic the fact that both drivers and passen gers failed to avoid the crashes

rector of st george s bell lines by arnold blachford your telephone manager l wonder how many of you have noticed a small box usually black plastic lucked up on a basement beam in our home it is placed quite close to the point where our tclcphonenvire comes into your home we call this small box an inside station protector and wc use it as a safety device where the inside wire and the outside wire are joined it protects both our equipment and th telephone user from stray electrical currents over 300 volts and from lightning surges the protector serves much the same purpose as the more familiar electrical fuss except that mstead of opening a line as a fuse does the protector grounds it so seldom do we have to change or repair these station protectors that i discovered recently that many homes still have those installed with their first telephone many yeara ago these are from the pre plastic era and are of white porcelain many too were placed in the days when cellars were cellars and not beautiful recreation rooms family rooms or finished workshops when panelling or attractive tile did not conceal bare ceiling beams many people today are converting basement space into wonderfully livable rooms if this should be in your home improvement plans would you please locate this protector under no circumstances should any of the wires leading from the protector be disconnected they are vital to your then if you are installing a ceiling perhaps you could place a removable panel to give easy access to the black box it would also be to your advantage to provide access to the ground wire connections however if that need should arise it would take longer to restore your service and perhaps mar a beautiful ceiling if the protector or ground connections have been hidden by the panelling or ceiling tiles to help speed your long distance calls along canada and the united states have been divided into calling areas each calling area has its own threenumber
