We Kill Our Own Children But Hold Ourselves Blameless States 0.P.P. inspector at Rotary Club "We are killing our own child- ren and blaming it on the other fellow,'" O.P.P. Inspector Albert ~~itt, G.H.Q., Toronto, chargcd a frank, dramatic address de- livered at the Rotary Club Ion- cheon at the Balmoral Hotel, Fni- day. In 1950, 146 children xvcre laid low as a result of accident experience, and in August of this, year, 13 children met their dcath by similar occurrence. Quoting 1950 statisties, the speaker said law enforcement in Ontario invcstigated 43,861 auto- mobile collisions in which L-250,- 000 people were involved. These collisions took 790 lives whi.ýh is. "perhaps not bad considering the Ynrillions o! miles travclled," the Inspector stated, 'but when w"t start thinking of killing our own children, which wc are doing, then the matter becomes serious." In a brief pcriod last faîl, three occasions carne up where fond parents drove their own cars over their own cbildren in their awn priate divcway, Inspector Witt said, and when drivers do that, "It's bigh time motorists of Ontario sit down and (Io sone retrenchment o! their activity." O.P.P. Since 1930 So far this year, w~ith first frosts and doubtful footing still ahead, 700 people have met death through traffic mishaps, and the gross economie waste is as moun- tainous as the gold in Fort Knox, in the Inspector's estimation. Automobiles are totally essen- tial to the way o! hife in a prov- ince that bas the largcst popula- tion and industrial activity in the nation. Ontanio's population bas increased by over a million in the hast decade, Inspector Witt told Rotarians, and 65 per cent of post war industry is centred here. And with all these ad- vances cornes the important ele- ment in life, the transportation o! the people. Associatcd agents cannot keep up with the miraculous advances in motion accomplished in the last ftew y ears. 'Perhaps the auitomobýl1e industry is leading the way in keeping up with the times,' the speaker said. Two years ago scientists produced a jct-propelled croît that could trav el 480 miles an bour, be add- cd, and today, spced bas passed the SUpersonic bornier and people on earth are struggling to keep pace with the trend in movement.

Tag Day Set For Sat., Oct. 13 In Bowmanville Once again the Navy League of Canada appeals to ai citizens to give gcnerously to the Navy League Tag Day to be held in Bowmanville, Orono. Newcastle, Hampton and Enniskj.len on Sat- urday. Oct. .13. 1951. Canada is playing an ever-in- creasing part in world affairs. The Navy League program is be- coming larger and more valuable to the country as a wholc. The training of Sea Cadets is having a teiling effect in the de- vclopment of character and good citizenship among boys during their formative years. For over thirty years the Navy League has recognized that it can teach much more, than drill, seamanship and Naval lore-by skillfully blend- ing discipline, responsibility and training, it can "build men." The number of foîrmer Sea Ca- dets who hold positions of trust in the Conxmunity and the higih percentage of active force sailors and officers wh-Io started their naval careçrs in the Sea Cadets, testif 'v to the value of Navy League services. Likewise, NavY League ser- v'ices to saîlors will increase sub- stantiall «v as new ships are corn- rnxssioned for active service in the defence of Canada. Crews .vhich have been on active duty n Korean -waters have aIl been ;upplied with comforts and the raditional dittY bags. Comfort- able clubs and recreational centres are xnaintaincd bv the N1avy League in our great ports for Merchant Seamen whose voy- ages make our export trade pos- sible. Naval veterans in hospitals are visited regularly by mem- bers of Navy League's Ladies' Auxiliaries. Everyone should feel it a priv- [cege to have a share in financing uch a program of service. Miss Carol Mart\n spent the ývcekend wîvth hcr aunt and tincle, -h.r and Mrs. R. M. Mitchell, Belleville. set a new record in the intermediate boys' high jump, beat- ing the 1950 record by %/". His jump was 4' 21/2". John Fowler was tied for Intermediate Boys' Championship; Ken Chow won himself a record in the standing broad, jumping 9' 91/2", 10" further than George Dadson's record in 1949; Wally Larmer, Senior Boys' Champ. went back to 1940 to break the high jump record set by George Forsey. He was 2" over the previous mark wîth a leap of 4' 10". Richard Biggs also beat a 1940 record in the Intermediate Boys' broad jump, with a leap of 13' 51/2", 31/2" better than Gordon Alder's record. John Mason tied for Intermediate Boys' Championship and Curtis Vanstone was absent for the photo but tied the intermediate pole vault record of 6' 10", set in 1950 by Morley Richards.
