Traffic Accident Deathe Totalled 72 in November Traffie accidents in Ontario took the lives cf 72 persans in November an.d left a number cf Victimis dangerously injured in hospitals. The fatality total for the month compares with 78 lives lostin November cf last year and 85 killed in November in 1937. A study of the fatal accidents as neported by Ontario papers shows that of these 72 traffic ac- cident victims, 28 were pedestni- ans, 17 were drivers, 20 were pas- sengers and the balance cf 7- cydlists and unclassified. Included ini the above totals, 7 of the fatalities resulted from rail- way cressing accidents and 15 of the fatalities from "'vehicles eut cf control." Traffi.c saiety messages issued in Ontarie by. the Hon. George H. Doucett and highways department officiais emphasized that "people over 35 and unden 65 are more exposed te traffic hazards at this time cf year and consequently ac- cidents increase in this group." The November fatality records bear out this warning. 0f the 721I killed, 40 were 35 years or over.I December, commonly regarded as the meut joyful month cf the year, is one cf the deadliest in the calendar for traffic accidents. In the United States last yean, it topped the list wlth 3,330 deaths. Ontai-io'u traffic death toîl in De- ceiber of 1946 was 62 lives lest compared with 84 losses in De- cember of 1941, the worst year for trafflc lasses in the Province's his- toryr. With the hours cf darkness in- creasing, dniving conditions more dangerous, heavy cr ow ds ocf Christmas shoppers and the riuim- ber of motor vehicles greatiy in- creased in the Province, safety eixperts warn pedestrians a n d drivers te take increased care. An official 713 bushels cf pota- tees per acre is the current Ont- aria record. they purchased and operated a furniture store for a number of years. Af ter her hueband'u death Mrs. Veale remained in St. Cath- arines until elght years ago when she rnoved again to Bethany, pur- chasing the present home, also supervising the home of her aging mother, who is in her 92nd year. Mrs. Veale had always been keenly active ini church work, be- ing associated with Neetieton and St. Catharines United churches and since returning to Bethany was a faithfui and busy member of the Women's Association and Sunday School -of the U n 1 t e d Church. She was also active in the work of the Women's Institute and Red Cross Society. Her keen executive ability macle a reai contribution te ail community welf are. Al through her life she was 'the es- sence of kindness, ever cheerful, always wiiling, neyer complain- ing'and will be greatly missed by a host of friends. The funeral service was in charge of Rev. F. Hortôn of Peter- borough and a nephew, Alvin Porteous of McMaster University, Hamilton. Immediately surviving are one daughter, Mrs. Bedford Cochlin <Donna) 'of Noranda, Que., one sister, Mrs. Ona Thorndyke of Bethany and her aged mother, Mrs. John Porteous, also of Beth- any. Pail bearers were Harold Por- teous of Bowmanville, Bedford Cochlin, Noranda, Que., and four nephews, Wellington Fallis, Eric, Carl and Mervyn Porteous of Be- thany. Interment was in Nestle- 1 on cemnetary. Ontario Will Ne"d Ton Million Bashels 0f Se.d for 1948 Approximately 10;000,000 bush- els of seed grain wili be required in 1948 by Ontario farmers in order to produce the objective cf 200,000,000 bushels of feed grain, says John D. MacLeod, Director, Crops, Seeds and Weeds Branch, Ontario Department of Agricul- ture. Owing te the present high costs of feed grains, mnili feeds and con- centrates, Mr. MacLeod adds, mna- ny farmers are dipping heavily in- te their supply of home grown grains, and it is feared that unles action is takehnonw by individual farmers to make provision for their seed requirements, many will find themselves in short sup- ply and will be compelled to buy high priced, low quality seed of doubtful oengin. Mr. MacLeod suggests that ac- tion be taken along the followiftg lices; 1. Clean seed required now when farin work is net so pressing and more seed is available on which te work. 2. Purchape seed requirements early while prices are reasonable. 3. Clean and grade surplus grain cf high quality and offer it as seed. The possibllity of selling high quality grain as seed and pur- chasing feed grain should be in- vestigated. The matter of seed supplies for 1948 is urgent at t his time, says Mr. MâcLeod, and should receive first cobsideration in plans for lncreased production of feed grains. LATEST SHIPPING DATES FOR CHRISTM AS PARCELS The importance cf expressing Christmas parcels te points in Ca- nada at an early date was stressed here by George K. Griffin, mp4n- ager of the Express Traffic As- sociation of Canada. Early ship- ping is advisabie te avoid disap- pointment, sald Mn. Grîffin. This yean, the 'latest shipping dates specified for consignments withiný Quebec and. Ontario is Dec 18. Cross country parcels should be dispatched ne later than Dec. 15. Christmas With the Junior Red Cross In Ontario Christmas began in the Ontario Junior Red Cross eanly in Nov- ember when gifts and candy were packed for distribution b y t h e Overseas Commissioner, Colonel R. W. Frost, ta the children ef England. Some cf the dolis which were beautifuliy dresed for Tor- ente Junior Red Cross by the girls cf the Manufacturers Life Insur- ance Ce. wene included as wel as dolocf ail types; stuffed ani- mals, colouning books, plastic cars, trucks, tracters, jig saw puzzles, crayons, nufsery rhymes, games and sweaters. Final teuch was the gay Christmas wrappicgs and stickers which were put In se the littie British girls and boys might wrap festively their own glfts for others. This was just the beginnlng of the shopping done by the Jun- iors. Presents were found for ev- ery child in a Sanitonlumin i the province; as well as for everyone in the children's wards of every General Hospital, and the Hospital for Sick Chîldren in Toronto. Ev- ery chiid assisted last year by the Junior Red Cross Crippled Child- ren's Fund, is remembered at Christmas. Many Junior Red Cross branches made delightful Christmas faveurs for use in hos- pitals. Ontario Juniors are making a Christmas present cf a Dental. coach too. At a recent meeting cf the Ontario Division Junior Red Cross committee, it was decided that a Dental coach would be purchased. It will bring a similar service te the Red Cross Dental coach which was put in operation last summer until this winter; and wiil brlng dental care to olildme in areas of the. Province Wherl It. could not otherwlse bé obtuln.d. To save fuel, windowis hotld be kept closed durlng the wlnter except for a few minutes each aay to air thie house. If It ià desireil to open bedroom windows at night, close the room register on a warmn air heating systemý and on hot water heating, cover thei radiator especialky if It lsu ider or near the open window. In schools in the United Coun- dies, Medical Officers, assisted by nurses examined 345 children dur- lng November. In the majority of cases the child's parent was present. Less complete inspec- tions cf 815 school children were madle by nurses, and 142 addition- ai children were given vision tests. Among the 188 defects other than teeth found in school children, 60 were defects in vision, 28 defec- tive nasal breathing, 38 abnormal tonsils, 12 orthopaed.ic defects, 5 ean diseases, 4 cardiac disease, and 4 hernia. It was noted that 87 de- fects previously recorded have been corrected. Children examin- ed having dental defects number- ed 278, while 99 had former de- feets corrected. Sacitary inspec- tors macle a survey of 56 schools, inspecting ventilation, lighting, heating, water supply, sewage dis- posaI, general cleanliness, etc. School Health Since such a large proportion cf the time of children aged six to sixteen is spent in s '%col, it fol- lows that their health is directly affected, for better or for worse, by conditions within the school. Habits are established which will affect their health in future life. Even certain simple facilities and habits are of importance. For example, the common drinking cup can spread colds and other in- fections rapidly. In town schools, approved drinking fountains elim- mnate the necessity for cups; in rural schools a common solution is that each child provides his own cup, which preferable is kept in his lunch box and washed at home each day. But an increasing num- ber cf rural schoois are now pro- viding paper cups for the use of the children. Carry Infection Hands aise frequently carry in- fection from other people back ta the owner cf the hands or vice versa. The simple rules which prevent- this include washing hands before eating and after go- ing te the toilet. In many rural achools equipment for washing hands has been limited; in some there has been an actual scarcity of waten for this purpose. Very simple equipment includes paper towels, soap, a basin and a pitch- er cf water. Before eating lunch the children take turns washing their hands over the basin under runcing water poured from the pitcher by one cf the eider chil- dren. An outline cf a simple pro- cedure and list cf equipment need- ed for this routine was prepared by the Health Unit for distribution thnough the Inspectors cf Public Schools as an assistance te teach- ers and pupils in rural schools. Immunization At 64 immunization clinics 230 chiidnen were given protective im- munization against diphtheria, 79 against diphtheria and whooping cough combined, and 105 vaccinat- ed agalnst sinalîpox. Nurses macle 443 visits te the mothers cf infants and preschool children and at the Child. Health Confenences they weighed and in- spected 155 babies and preschool chiidren and had interviews with the mothers. There were 33 visits te expectant mothers. Chest Clinics At the regular monthly chest clinics in Port Hope and Cobourg 66 persons were x-rayed. There were 2 new cases cf tuberculasis reported during the month and 3 nesidents wene admitted te Sana- toria. Public Health nurses macle home visits te 61 cases and con- tacts cf tuberculosis. 0f the 116 cases cf communic- able diseases reported in Novem- ber, 45 were chickenpox and 51 mumpe. Ini November sanitary inspectors macle il Inspections cf pasteuniz- ing plants and 61 eating establish- ments.

' BANK 0F MONTRE.AL 11 - 4 - - - .- Salvation Army Red Shield AppeaU To Reach Objective Air Marshal W. A. Bishop, chairman of The Salvation Ar- my's National Advisory Board, announced that the $1,000,000 ab- jective of thé: 1947 National Red Shield Appeal would be reached. Providing Community Chest centres in which The Salvatioji Army is a participating agency reach their targets, the million dollar total is assured. "The generosity of the Canadian public and their erdorsation of Salvation Army endeavors i s deeply appreciated," the Air Mar- shal declared. "Those who or- ganized and solicited have macle a direct contribution to the wel-. fare of Canada's less-fortunate citizens." Next year's Red Shield Appeal,, Chairman Bishop anno u n c e d,1 would be held everywhere in Ca-1 nada from May 3 to 24. Salva- tion Army officiais he said, have been aiming for some years at a1 completely synchronized national appeal, and at an Executive Offi- cers' Conference held recently in Toronto. a May campaign was de- cided upon. In order to avoid con.flict with Community Chest campaign dates, the Red Shield Appeal has here- tofore been held early in Septem- ber. This, however, meant the extremely difficuit task of organ- izing the Appeal during the sum- mer vacation months, the Air Marshal said. Ontario Juniors Send Shoes to England As a resuit of the recent appeal, at least ten thousan*d little Brit- ish children will keep their f eet warm and dry this winter. Over 10,000 pairs of good shoes were collected by Junior Red Cross Branches in Ontario. A large shipment was made up recently and sent to England. These were ail in an excellent state of repair, and were tied together in pairs and marked with the size. Rub- bers were included.
