It was anticîpated that Provin- cial Constable J. R. Pollard, rep- resentative o! the Lions Club, would be present ta give a talk on patrol duties but he was called out of toWn. In the absence of President John Cattran, the Sec- retary, Miss Peggy Dippell con- ducted the meeting. The school patrol named for the current week was as follaws: At Church and Silver Sts., Keith Shackleton and Don Masters. At Church and Temperance, Murray Winnacott* At Church and Div- ision, Patsy Smith. It is hoped that at the next meeting, Satur- day, November 9, furtber ar- rangements will be made and arm bands issued. At future meetings, each Sat- urday, it was decided that the hour mast convenient would, be 10 a.m. The mnembers and officers are advised ta take this as notice of the change in time and a goad attendance is desired. It is likely that Mr. Pollard will be. present ta address the meeting. Six Cars Damiaged In Saturday Accidents Chie! o! Police Sidney Venton was kept busy Saturday taking care of traffic which was snarled at three points by mator car tan- gles involving six motor vehicles. Fortunately no one was hurt but damage was occasioned ta the ve- hicles. There was much incon- venience in having traffic tied up and re-.routed which the Chief bandled with despatch. The first smash accurred at 8:30 a.m. when a car driven by Mrs. Mary Kirk, Stirling, collided with a truck owned by the Lander Coal Co., Oshawa, at the corner of Scu- gag and Churcb. Trucks have ta swing wide ta negatiate the turn into Cburch St. and Mrs. Kirk was unable ta stop quickly owing ta wet pavement and, the muddy condition occasioned by hauling dirt from the King St. repair job. At 6 p.m., a Maple Grave mo- tarist crossing the Vanstone Bridge at what was claimed: ta be excessive speed on wet pavtement, crashe through the barrier at King and Scugog and plunged in- ta the King St. excavation. The watchman, Fred Page, had. a nar- row escape wben the barrier flew over his head. It is likely a charge will be laid. Later, around 8 p.m., a car stalled in the mid.dle o! Vanstone's bridge and another Maple Grave motorist collided with it. Before they got untangled still another car plowed into the others. A tow truck was employed ta clear a passage while Chie! Venton flag- ged' down appraaching vehicles. A warning is îssued by the Chie! that extreme care should be ah- served when the road surface is in a wet, dangerous condition. SOUND SLEEP One's outlaok and quality of work depenci largely upon the amaunt of sleep enjoyed, says the Department of National Health and Welfare, in a short health bulletin. "Wheg retiring," the de- partment reminds parents, "be sure that air in rooms in whicb people have been smoking is cleared, so that children as well as adults may enjay healthful sleep. "The health authorities point out that nervousness, loss o! weight and* lack o! reserve power, are amang the results o! toa little real deep rest. Took Wedding Trip to U.S.A.

PEANUT, FAVORITE NUT 0F CANADIANS 'The lowly nut now enjays a prdiminent position amang the 20 leading Canad'ian imports. Dur- ing the first seven months of 1946, Canada purchased. nuts from ma- ny cauntries ta a value of $12,865,- 000, a figure which exceededi by $813,000 the total imports o! over 81,000,000 pounds of nuts at a value of $12 million during 1945, and four times the figure for 1938. The peanut takes precedence among ah tbhe nuts imported inta the Dominion, followed by al- monds, walnuts, pecans, filberts and cocanuts. In 1945, more than 66 million pounds o! peanuts were braught ta Canada at a value o! $6.2 millions. Changes have occurred in the sources o! supply. In 1938, China exported ta Canada, 29,622,664 pounds o! peanuts, with India as next ibiggest exporter. In. 1946, Nigeria has taken the lead', fol- lowed by the United States, India, and Brazil. Almonds which used ta camne fromn Italy, the United States, France, Portugal andi Chi- na are now obtained !rom Spain and Portugal. As regards wal- nuts, the war eliminated Rau- mania and China as suppli- ers. They now came !rom the United States and India. The United States bas always supplied Canada with pecans. Filberts which usedi ta came from Italy now came from Spain, and Tur- key is back with sweet hazelnuts, pistachios, and pin nuts. Brazil sends Brazil nuts and, the West In- dies are the source of caconuts.
