Clare Kellogg, Janet- F ROM its advent about five years ago Canadian stock car racing bas swept into a prominent position in the sport fans' affection. An outgrowth of the wheeled sports in the United States, stock car racing first appeared in Canada shortly ater World War Il. Graduating from the ba.zy one-a-week meet on rural pasture tracks, stock car racing has now rnoved (in many cases) inta the cities and towns on a strictly*scheduled, professional basis. The fans, guaranteed many of the thrills and spills of big-time racing, have taken the battered, careening chariots ta th&i hearts and pocketbooks. Stock car racing is good, clean, dan gerous fun. Mobile-Ontario Sanctioned by S the Canadian Stock Car Racing Club, the rules and regu- lations of the new -- sport are strictly ~enforced. But S (.before covering the "Lo's and Dont's" let's take a look at the expansion of the stock car game in Ontario. It s estimated that nearly 600 drivers compete in races every week in and around such towns and calies as Belleville, Hamilton, Brantw ford, London, Windsor, Guelph, * Chatham, Oshawa, Fort Erie and Toronto. According to the capacity of the available parks as many as 6,000 spectators crowd in ta watcb thejr favourite drivers performn and an over-alI weekly attendance figure for stock car racing in the Province should haver around 60 ta, 70 thousarid fans. For some unknown reason at least 50 per cent of the fans are women which should prove something or other about the gentler sex, for, as far as we know, women racing drivers are alrnost unknown in the sport except possibly around Brantford, Ontario. S tock-Rules Contrary ta a gerai belief, strict ru les go\-crn the racing cars r u sec roaring around the tracks. heCanadian Stock Car Racing Club has issued a complete brochure govcrning safety with respect ta the vehicles themsclves. For instance, "aIl cars must be an original hard top with no roadsters or convertibles allowed. AIL cars must have fenders but no sharp edges aîlowed. Head. lights must ho remnoved and bumpers must not be interlocking. Mufflers must be left on or cars sufficiently q uieýt ta meet track approval. Wind- sields must ho left in and be of safety glass type. AIl other windows must ho rolled cown or removed. -AIl car doors must ho welded, bolted or sttapped ahut. Quick- release safety beit compulsory, bolted ta frame at bath ends. Ail drivers must wear approved racing helmets. Rearview mirrors recom- mendcd. Inside steel bracing com- pulsory. Hub caps must be removed. Racing numbers shall be anc on each side and anc on rear. The number, 13 s/sali noi be used, this ta include outs'ide coxnpetitors." For us, that last admonition would be quite unnecessary! Most Dangerous Job -- Although, in ac- tion, the stock cars average anywhcre fromn 50 ta 60 mph., around the tracks the low score on serious accidents is a omplimentary reflection on the governing body contralling the sport. And likely the most dangerous job is that of official starter. We questioned Starter Ross Kennedy of the Oakwood Stock Car Racing Club (Toronto) and found that the closest Kennedy had corne ta disaster was losing the seat of his pants. But, nevertheless, the starter has ta be a nimble operator handling bis flags and controlling the actual race. Ncxt time you attend the races check the masterful manipulation of flags: Green-f or start; Orange-caution, do not pass; Red-s--erious accident; .Blk-dis- qualification; Crossed flags-half- way mark; While-one lap ta go and, Checkered-winner. Ta catch up on this stock car racing business you have your choice of the locations mentioned with, no doubt, many others an the way. At the moment, nearly haîf of the operating tracks are using arc-lights and specializing in night racing, 50 you have your choice of daytime or evening attendance. e pet,dstock car raci t good, den angerous fun.

Dear George: Thanks for sending me The Statesman with the 50 years ago item about my sister Anne and the one with the write up of the return of Markus Roenîgk. I think hie would be an acquisition ta any Community, judging from his picture. Writing you, as usual, opens some dusty memories and I can smell the mixture of July sun and paplars and sand that was the Beach an the T;oronto side of the harbour.'We tented there several seasons. I don't suppose there is a marsh any more, but we had a Çanoe in a boathause there and' paddled down a chapnel ta the har14our. ILvwere dredging one of t hose s nmers and the Tait boys were wonderful divers and took off from ail points on the dredge. Theire were also Lamprey eels which occasionally attached themselves ta a swimmer, or is that just legend? I expect the old stonehooker schooners toa are long since gorne. Occasionally, I find a book on the Great Lakes which pictured them. They were very graceful laoking craft. Yau and I were lucky, I think, ta have lived in such an interest- ing time, when in the space ai 50 years the most unbelievable changes have taken place. I often wonder, though, if ail the sa- called impravements have made life better for the general run of people, or if they have just speeded things up into a fine rat race. Anyway, 1 thinti we had more than our share ai fun, or perhaps I just farget the unpleas- antnesses. I hope that yau will be able ta have a good trip somewhere this summer. With kind regards, Daug.

Mr. Gregory said that the U.K. would probably buy 30 ta 40 million pounds of this year's crop. With these marketing prospects, graw- crs will bo striving ta produce a heavy, quality crop. which can be dono only if the weatherman co-aperates.

Life isn't long, just time for sang, And love, and things sublime. Be not concerned with thoughts that burned- Good friends, thero isn't time.' No. 4 "ýKoop Johnny and Mar7 In Their Own Homo" Ini a preViaus article, some o! tho statutory. duties of the Child- ren's Aid Society in cvery com- munity, responsibilities which are defincd under thc Chlldrcn's Pro- tection Act sud the Unmarried Parents' Act were outlined. But it must be clearly pointed out that the very first effort ai the Society is ta keep the child in its own home and ta raise the stand- ards a! that home ta make this passible. Failing this, legisiation, as has been shown,, provides the Society with legal instruments ta investi- gate cases o! cruelty sud neglect on a very broad basis. If it be- cames sa necessary, the Society obtains evidence and lays char- ges in court sud thereaiter, upon the judge's or magistrate's order, assumes guardianship for a child, e ither on a temporary or perman- ent basis. In such cases the child becomes a permanent or tem- porary ward o! the Society which acts toward him ini every i'espect as his natural parent. What is the concept ai these responsibilities o! guardianship by the Society toward a little boy or girl whose awn parents are either dead, or unworthy and in- capable of giving them their birthright as Canadian citizens? Let us inspqct for a moment the "Canadian Cýhildren's Charter" which has recently been prepar- ed by the Montreal Council of Social Agencies. It is the hope ai the Council that this Charter will receive the endorsation af the Canadian Child Welfare field as fi dynamic instrument ai pal- icy and publicity. Its value lies in its positive and simpliiied statement ai every child's right and cvery citizen's duty. It states in the plainest possible terms the concept b! the Child- ren's Aid Society as ta the rights ai all children and certainly oi those who came under its care. Here it is: "Let us ensure ta evcry child in Canada:" PAGE IPOUR every means ta create and ss-1 tain in the children that sense af. security which is sa essential ta their normal develapment and whIch ha, either been seriously shaken or is missing altogether ini their lives." The utmost care i selecting the foster home, a sense of com- radeship established between the big family of toster parents and the society. mutual confidence and esteem between the Society's staff and the parents and their foster children is the ideal af the good Society. This ideal goes far beyond the demands of legis- lation. It requires the highest social and spiritual principles on the part o! experienced sud quai- ified social workers. It requires the active support, encourage- ment and intelligent understand- 1. A home where he is wanted sud loved. 2. Adequate family income, de- cent nourishing food, suitable clothes. 3. Good health by providing suificient medical, dental sud mental health services. 4. Opportunities for spiritual grawth and the develapment o! sound values in preparation for responsible citizenship. 5. Wholesome play in his home and in his neighborhood. 6. Educational facilities suited ta his necds. 7. Employment, when he is rcady, at work for which he is suited ta his needs. Reference was made in Article 4 ta the vision shown by pioneers ai the child protection move- ment in Ontario. In clear and unmistakable language t hecy stated that the idea ai care for children caming under the re- sponsibility ai the Childrcn's Aid Society was ta establish them in foster homes, tcmporary institu- tianal shelter only being provid- cd until such arrangement could be made. At the iounding ai the Hamilton Children's Aid' Society in 1894 the Hon. John Gibson who framed the Children's Protection Act, made special refcrence ta thîs provision in the legislation. Sa we find in the earliest days ai the child protection movement a modemn concept being advanced -that the idea is ta provide the neglectcd, abandoned or abusenT boy or girl with the nearest ap- proach ta a natural home and loving parents. One ai the great- est responsibihities ai any Society is ta find goad foster homes for their wards and thereaiter ta constantly visit these homes in the interest o! bath the child and the foster parent. In other words, the child must neyer be placed aut and forgotten or only casually visited by bis Society. The Society has the re- sponsibility ai "being as a par- ent ta the children committed ta its charge-ai providing through its staff and foster homes the lave and affection which the children have missed in their own homes and ai striving by LAID mSANDED mFINISHED FLOOR SANDERS FOR RENT Tile Floors- Linoleum - Rubber or Wood Block Plastic Tile for Kitchen and Bathroom Walls. - FREE ESTIMATES GIVEN - "Stand with Confidence an a Leggette Floor" SM.
