AYU,&, JULY l4th, 1040 IDAUi041M E TRI ANADAN SATESAN. OWMAVTLL~ nwART imes M News - Topics 1 By CoUette Ferguson PLAYGROUNDS IN FULL SWING Bowmanville has joined the ranks of the many towns and cities in the province that have found community playgrounds to be worthwhile projects. Perhaps the greatest asset of these playgrounds is the assur- ance they give to mothers that their children are playing under the supervision of capable in- ~A&zuctors who will make sure that %-$Le youngsters will be safe from "ideeding cars. The playgrounds in Bowman- ville have been made possible this year by a great deal o! hard work and planning on the part of Rec- reational D)irector, Vince Mathew- son, who in cooperation with the Community Council has arranged an excellent program. One of the main features of the Playgrounds is the 'Learn to Swim Classes" that started last Monday. Transportation has been arranged for the- youngsters to take them to the Cream o! 'Barley Camp where they will receive ex- pert training in the art o! swim- ming two mornings each week. At the playgrounds themselves, the children have an opportunity to play ahl their favourite sports as well as learning new ones. In- struction is given to any who need it. For children who are too young to attend the regular playgrounds, special tiny tot playgrounds are being held at the South Ward School and at the Lions Commun- ity Centre. A project such as this needs the support and cooperation o! the whole community. So if your children are o! playground age be sure that they do not miss out on this excellent opportunity.

T -N- T WOMAN IN THE NEWS In a little town called Harrow, 25 rfpiles fromn Windsor, there is a six-page weekly paper called "The Harrow News." The editor of this paper is a 24 year old girl who looks like a pretty college co-ed. The editor, Joan V. Pratt, is also owner, publisher, adver- tising, circulation and business manager in this weekly thaf proudly proclaims itsel! as "The Paper that Goes Home." When her father, the late Jo- seph H. Pratt, died ten years ago his wife tried to, carry on, but found that housekeeping and ed- iting a paper at the same time just couldn't be done. Conse- quently, she decided to sell the paper. However, inheriting the journalistic instincts of her fa- ther, daughten Joan, who was just out o! High School, said "No" and since that time bas been in sole charge o! the paper. As well as editing "The Harrow News," Joan has been district correspondent for the Windsor Star for the past 3 years. In the editorials, Joan supports soul conservation, and worthy comunity projects. Politically the News is independent. She also writes a semi-gossip column bear- ing he(r by-line that bas proved one a! the paper's most populan features. T-N-T ON BEHALF 0F WOMEN DRIVERS Every time a car turns left without signalling or ambles down the middle o' the. road the man ir the car behind invariably decides that the guilty driver is a woman. if .you ask him why, he starts or a lengthy tirade about the faults of women drivers in general and uses this particular case to prove his points. It is true that there are bad women drivers, but why should the women always be designated as menaces to the highways. A glance at statistics show the cars driven by men are involved in a greater number of accidents than those driven by women. Women as a general rule are more careful and flot nearly so apt to take reckless chances while driving. While waiting to cross at the Post Office corner the other day, I watched. 5 cars make leit hand turns. Two of the cars were driven by women and they both gave the proper signal, while only one of the male drivers put out his arm to indicate his intention of turn- ing to the car behind. Maybe the women are more of- ten guilty of removing paint from a fender when they take the fam- ily car out of the garage, but when it cornes to driving they seem to be able to stay clear of accidents. Perhaps the most dangerous women drivers are those that handie the controls from the back seat.
