Don't be misled by these flimsy excuses. Figures of the Accident Recording Division of the D'epartmen Highways show that in 1936, 9,951 of 10,438 cars involved in accidents i in apparently good condition, and 577 of 626 cars involved in fatal-ties seemed to be "o. k." These sta-istics show clearly that the defect is isually curable by the application of little driving "horse sense." HENS always scratch hardest when the worms are scarce.

The Sixtieth Anniversary of the establishment of the Hospital for Sick Children is more than a _____ milestone where we hestitate a moment, looking <~BJu.1* uvti a Tecord of ever-increasing service to the' children of the Province. It marks also the parallel development of Preventive Medicine in this country ... a development in which observations made in the Hospital for Sick Children on the treatment of tens of thousands of cases form an important part. The far-reaching influence of the growth of this branch of medical practice can easily be shown in figures--the records of Health Departments supply convincing proof. The fact that your children are relatively a great deal healthier than those of sixty years ago is due in no small degree to the progress in medical knowledge made possible by the opportunities afforded by the Hospital for Sick Children. Vaccination, toxoiding, etc., commonplace today, had to be proved effective by the actual observation of countless cases. Children of every rape and creed are admitted to this Institution, regardles of circumstance. Their ticket of admittance is their need. Their treatment, * too, is governed by their need alone--not by their *MHty or inability to pay. Fixed grants made by the Province and Municipalities do not provide for the features requiting •flttra expense which our progressive child special* bts prescribe. Each year there is a deficit which we ask charitable people to meet. This year the Shortage is $70,000.00. Every dollar is urgently needed so that the great work may go on. No amount is too small .. . none too large. Give $1.00, $2.00, $5.00, or $100.00--what-__evtr your circumstances justify--but please give_ something.

It's No Riddle It seems a riddle that most accidents occur when the driver is going straight ahead. It isn't a riddle at all. Can you solve it? Here is a clue: That's the only time when the driver can really "step on the gas." Last year, in 628 accidents in which people were killed, 521 cars were "going straight," and so were 8,092 of the cars involved in 10,438 non-fatal accidents.
