EARLY SHOPPING URGED FOR SAKE OF SAFETY IN TRAFFIC Doing Christmas Shopping Early gets support from a new quarter this year with Department of Highway safety officials adding their voices to those of merchants and others directly concerned about approaching yuletide congestion. I Accidents are almost certain to increase on urban streets during the last-minute rush, states J. P. Bickell, Registrar of Motor Vehicles. The only thing a sensible person can do is cut down the danger to himseir and others by starting now to finish up Christmas shopping ahead or time. The day before Christmas is invariably the worst day of the year for traffic accidents, states the Department's statistical chief, Arthur H. Rowan. Just plain hurry accounts for many such accidents that would not occur under less distracting circumstances. Early darkness increases the danger, especially to the many people who are out on the streets on foot. Slippery pavements and j poor visibility make things worse. Shop early, and make this Christmas a safe Christmas. HASTINGS SCHOOL PROVINCIAL WINNER IN FORESTRY CONTEST Union School Section 12 and 14 at Thurlow, Hastings County, with Mrs. M.
