Page Four THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, THURSDAY, AUGUST 13th, 1953 j 75th C.N.E. PLACES J ACCENf ON AGRICULTURE LARGE ROADSIDE PARK at junction of Highways Five and Twenty-Four was set aside by Hon. Geoorge Doucett, Ontario Minister of Highways, ajr reserve in perpetuity to serve as setting for Memorial Cairn marking community near St. George where Mrs. Adelaide Hoodless, founder of the Women's Institutes, was born. The Organization she started in 1897 has flourished throughout the British Commonwealth of nations in other countries. She was moved to that far-reaching action by death of a son from drinking sub-standard milk. Today, as Federated Women's Institutes of Canada join the Ontario Federation in welcoming the first Canadian assembly of the Associated Country Women of the World in Toronto August 12-23, Mr. Doucett hopes that women's influence in Ontario and elsewhere will be mobolized against the selfishness, bad manners and refusal to think of others which is the cause of most traffic accidents. In Ontario alone in 1952, traffic accidents resulted in 1,010 deaths; thousands of injuries, and millions of dollars worth of property losses.

With the accent on agriculture at this year> 75th anniversary Canadian National Exhibition which began as an agricultural fair in 1879. plans are underway to make the 1953 "Ex" an outstanding show for the Canadian farmer. C.N.E. President J. A. Nor-they has announced across-the-board increases in prize money, new exhibits and.a number of added features in other agricultural divisions. An average ten per cent increase in prize money will bring the prize total to more than $125,000, a far cry from the $17,000 in prizes at the first fair 75 years ago. More than 10,000 animals are expected to be entered this year in the various divisions, many of which will have added new features. There will be new herd classes in Jersey and Guernsey breeds in the dairy cattle show to provide for more inter-county competition. A new class in the poultry show will give young poultry breeders an opportunity to buy high class birds at low prices. Designed as a claiming class, it will permit breeders to purchase trios of birds for as low as $25. The goat exhibit, becoming increasingly popular during the past few years, is expected to reach 200 entries this year. A more elaborate exhibit is planned for the agricultural industries with crops to be moved from the West Annex to a larger more prominent space in the East Annex of the big Coliseum building. Over^ in the Horticultural Building with its cool grottos and beautiful floral exhibits other changes have been planned. The' garden displays, formerly divided into two classes-- formal and; informal--will include six different types of gardens this year. Everything from a Mexican garden with cacti and other sub tropical plants to an elaborate Canadian rock garden with its pools and running streams will add further colour to the flower show. And for the first time since the war, there will be all the latest farm machinery on display. Occupying the huge open area south of the Coliseum. Canadian agricultural implement manufacturers will show products which have contributed in bringing modern farming to the scientific level of today. THIS NEWSPAPER FOR ONE FULL YEAR, WITH ... .

P. Bickell, Registrar of Motor Vehicles of the Ontario Department of Highways, recently emphasized the need to avoid driving when tired. "Fatigue", he said, "especially during the summer months, is the significant factor in a large number of motor vehicle accidents". "At this time of the year", Mr. Bic-kell said, "mororists are driving distances they are not accustomed to. on weekend trips and annual vaca- "There are many simple ways to avoid fatigue. For instance, I know some ardent fishermen who travel long distances on the weekends. From about 7.00 p.m. to 12.00 of a Friday evening, you'll find them sleeping. Then they start out for their favourite lakes, something like a 250 mile drive, changing drivers at regular intervals. As well as starting out rested, they avoid the heavier traffic hours. "It was recently reported that the U.S. Army, after extensive tests, now require their drivers to take a ten-minute break after every two hours of driving. A cup of coffee or tea is recommended during the break. The success of the ruling shows up in a decrease of 34% in the Army's overall accident rate. "Here are some ways in which a driver can avoid the dangers of drowsiness while driving: 1. Keep the windows of the vehicle open, breathe deeply. 2. Drink coffee or other alertness beverage every two hours. 3. If drousiness sets in, stop vehicle, get out and exercise briskly. 4. When possible, change drivers every two hours. 5. For the driver who finds himself too tired or too sleepy to continue, there is a sure-fire remedy : pull off the road and rest until fit to con- "And about driving speeds, it has been remarked, 'it's dangerous to drive at any speed when fatigued--; high speeds it is suicide'."

Miss Myrtle Hardy, with Mrs. Jim Rosevear, Cold Springs, left on Monday for a motor trip to White Face Mountain, N.Y. Many from here attended the street dance in Warkworth on Wednesday night. Miss Alice Davidson of Toronto has finished her summer school course and is home again. Miss Marcia Keller, Campbellford, spent the weekend with her friend, Mrs. Glen Clark. Mr. and Mrs. S. D.

Mrs. Henry Kemp is very sick at time of writing, suffering with flu! MILK IS ESSENTIAL IN MAINTAINING HEALTH Do you and your family drink enough milk? There is evidence that Grade Six students don't, and as that is the age when they tend to change from the pattern of eating used in early life and turn to the foods eaten by their parents, it looks as though the parents are not setting as good an example as they mkingh. Miss Elaine Found, Home Economist with the Ontario Department of Agriculture, reports that a survey was recently undertaken to study the food intake of Grade Six children in Toronto. As one result, it was discovered that one-quarter of "Grade Sixers" do not get enough milk. While most adults understand the need for milk during growth in order to form strong bones and teeth, a great many do not realize that adults need calcium too. After bone growth has ceased it is necessary to drink at least one glass of milk a day to keep the bone structure in good healthy condition. When one considers the enormous amounts of other foods that would be required to supply the calcium contained in four glasses of milk--7 pounds of cabbage or carrots, 28 oranges, 39 eggs or 27 pounds of potatoes--it can be readily seen that only an elephant could get its supply of calcium in that manner. Also, consider the difference in price between a quart of milk and 39 eggs. Children are great imitators, usually liking to eat that for which a parent expresses a preference. In addition they often refuse to eat anything that is not enjoyed by the parent. Canada's Food Rules state that a half pint of milk a day is the minimum for an adult; at least one pint for children under twelve and one and one-half pints for teenagers. So, if parents set a good example, drink their milk and remark on how good it tastes, children will be much more likely to drink at lest the reqiured amount without any fuss. Milk is good and good for you. Make a point of drinking your share daily. IMPORTANCE OF BREAKFAST After a fast of ten to sixteen hours duration, the next meal should be much, more than just a snack and a cup of coffee. Yet many people start out on their day's work with nothing more substantial for breakfast. Whatever the reason for skipping the necessary amount of food, whether it be with the idea of reducing, lack of time or just plain laziness, the result will certainly be reflected in the general health. Lack of the proper amount of food for maintenance of the body will not build up resistance to colds or other diseases and it will not help to avert fatigue. A good breakfast, according to the.nutritionists, should consist of fruit juice, hot whole-grain cereal, an egg or bacon, toast and hot beverage. With that foundation, the day's work can be attacked with much more enthusiasm. IN THE SWIM Swimming and walking are two of the most valuable--and economical--• forms of exercise? When you walk out of doors you not only gain the benefit of good fresh air but you exercisi the muscles of your body, from your eyes to your toes. When you swim, those muscles get a workout without the trouble of carrying the weight of the body. Both forms of exercise make excellent recreation, with a tonic effect on the mind. Older people Whose budget won't stretch far enough to include more expensive entertainment can make a hobby of nature study that more than repays the time spent upon it. A streetcar ticket to the Mty limits will take the nature lover out to where he can enjoy the beauties of country scenery. The public library shelves will supply many volumes of natural history to help the nature student, old or young. CANCER THROUGH THE AGES Cancer, a disease probably as old as mankind, is still much of a mystery to medical science. It is known, however, that some forms are curable and others may be controlled. The essential things is to have diagnosis and treatment as early as possible before the disease becomes established. Therefore, anyone who has any suspicious symptoms should seek medical attention immediately. There is a good chance of cure if cancer is treated early enough--but time is the important factor. A medical examination is wise if there is any suspicion of the disease; if there is no cancer, the doctor will set the mind at ease. 'I've seen one of the oddest islands the world. It is a British island on which the administrator had a passion for road safety. Wherever you went saw signs : Keep Left, Halt at Major Road Ahead, One Way Only, No Parking, you know the sort of stuff ............ and his was the only car on the island." Nigel Sligh speaking in the BBC's Home Service. POLIOMYELITIS Cobourg, July 23rd, 1953.--During the summer and early fall months-parents read and hear of cases poliomyelitis occurring in vari parts of Ontario and Canada, , naturally become concerned about the dangers of this disease. Dr. Charlotte M. Horner, Medical Officer of Health, Northumberland-Durham Health Unit, states that because of the wide publicity given to poliomyelitis and its after effects, few persons realize that statistics show that over twice as many children die from whooping cough in Canada 1 from poliomyelitis ,and that the number of accidental deaths for exceeds the death rate for these two disease It has been estimated that during a severe epidemic there • is only one chance in 1500 of developing poliomyelitis, one in 7500 of being paralyzed and one in 30,000 of dying of the disease. Progress is being made in research work to find a vaccine that will give protection against the minute viruses that causes poliomyelitis. Gamma globulin is available in very limited quantities and therefore will be allocated by the National,Department in Ottawa for special cases. However, gamma globulin only gives temporary protection and work is therefore tinuing towards developing which will give more lasting r Dr. Horner reminds parents precautions that should be take ing the months when poliomyeliti cases may occur. 1. Children should not become o tired. Avoid over-fatigue caused by too active play or exercise. 2. Avoid crowds and places where close contact with other persons is likely. 3. Do not bathe or swim in polluted waters. 4. Avoid sudden chilling. 5. Be sure your food is protected from fles. Have your home completely screened and kill all flies. 6. Do not eat raw fruit or vegetables until they have been thoroughly washed or peeled. 7. Keep your garbage covered to prevent the breeding of flies. 8. If you have an outdoor toilet, make sure it is flyproof and use plenty of chloride of lime. 9. Do not. use unsafe milk or water. 10. Any minor illness or fever occurring during the poliomyelitis season should be treated by bed rest and isolation pending diagnosis. If it is poliomyelitis, it might be made mor* severe by forcing oneself to carry on the usual activities. NO SUBSTITUTE FOR ATTENTION It is dangerous to take your mind or eyes off the road ,even momentarily. Sightseei. g should be left for roads far from busy, through highways. When speaking with your passengers, keep your eyes ahead -- they will be able to hear your even if you don't turn to look at them. THE EASY WAY Pick the best time to travel. Sometimes an hour or two makes a great difference in traffic volume. Drive only when you feel rested. If you become sleepy or tired on a trip, pull off the road and rest. It's surprising how refreshing a cat-nap of five or ten minutes can be -- what a severe hazard you eliminate by taking a little rest when you need it. SPEED CONTROL The biggest traffic killer is "speed too fast". Try to remember that when you get the urge to drive faster than the posted limits. Watch the car ahead, and leave a distance between your vehicle equal to one car-length for every ten miles of speed. This is a minimum distance in which to control your car in an emergency.
