That's the conclusion of Robert S. Casey, research director of the Sheaf-fer Pen Company, who has spent most of the last ten years working out methods of getting ink spots out without removing the material too. Most of the following treatments from the Sheaffer exuerts are based on the principle of moving the treating solution through the fabric so the dissolved ink is carried away and the fresh solution can attack the re- r or permanent ink: Rince the spot under running water until no more ink is coming out. Then place a pad of absorbent material under the spot and drop lemon juice or citric acid (5 per cent colution) on the spot, moving the pad from time to time. Rince with clear water. Next step involves what Mr. Casey calls a "percolating" technique. Place the material ever a bowl and slowly pour warm soap-suds through the spot. If the spot is on wool, alpaca or silk, use a detergent instead of soap. If there is still some discoloration, place the material over a bowl and percolate warm glycerine or tehylene glycol through the spot, rubbing with a glass rod or stainsteel spoon. Rince thoroughly with clear water. For spots made by washable ink, follow the above directions but omit the lemon juice treatment. As a last resort for persistent stains in white material only, you may soak in a dilute solution of hydrogen peroxide and household am-onia. Rince again with clear water. Since some fabrics hold ink with a remarkable tenacity, you may find that there is still some discoloration after the above treatments. In that case. Mr. Casey suggests you leave it to a professional spot remover or dry cleaner, explaining what treatment you have used. MORE CARE NEEDED TO AVOID MOTOR FATALITIES Summer traffic deaths in Ontario threaten to outstrip all previous records. Preliminary figures for June show 82 persons killed in motor vehicle accidents. This is seven more than in June of last year. The worst June on record for traffic fatalities was in 1951, when there were 83 vic- The death toll for the first half of 1953 now stands at 399, 22 mjore than the January-through-June total of last year. In the month's fatalities, 20 were drivers, 10 fewer than in June of '52. Pedestrian victims increased front 16 to 28, and passengers from 26 to j 29. Of the latter, three were passengers on motor cycles. Nine of the 20 drivers killed during June were involved in "vehicle out of control" acicdents, in which cars left the roadway. Two drivers died in collisions with trains. Pedestrian fatalities continue to include many very young children. During June, there were 11 children under the age of 5 killed. Of the three bicycleists killed during the month, all were over the age of 21. In the school-age group, from 5 to 19 years, 23 lives were lost. Six of the victims were drivers (30% of all driver victims), 12 were passengers (41% of all passenger victims) and five were pedestrians (18% of all pedestrian vie-As usual, most of June's accidents could have been avoided by increased care and attention.

Their Buick is more than the family car, it's a part of the family--a tradition passed on from generation to generation. There's a reason behind this loyalty of Buick owners. It's the satisfaction of owning the best. It's Buick's individuality . . . the trigger-quick responsiveness of its Fireball power--the matchless beauty of its styling --the famous reputation for craftsmanship. That's why once a Buick family, always a Buick family. And this year, The Greatest Buicks in Fifty Great Years are surprising even old friends of Buick with their dazzling new peaks of performance. There's the superb Roadmaster, the brilliant Super and the spirited Custom, each one a new triumph for the Buick name.

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 as from poliomyelitis ,and that the number of accidental deaths for exceeds the death rate for these two diseases. 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 Depaitment in Ottawa for special cases. However, gamma globulin only gives temporary protection and work is therefore continuing towards developing a vaccine which will give more lasting results. Dr. Horner reminds parents of the precautions that should be taken during the months when poliomyelitis cases may occur. 1. Children should not become overtired. 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 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 more severe by forcing oneself to carry on the usual activities. 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 point of drinking your share daily. The Canadian grape crop is produced almost entirely in Ontario where the wine industry is centred. "A man wrapped up in himself makes a very small parcel."--Benjamin Franklin. NO SUBSTITUTE FOR ATTENTION It is dangerous to take your mind •or eyes off the road ,even momentarily. Sightseeing 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. CHURCH SERVICES Sunday, August 30th ANGLICAN Rev. R. E. Lemon, L.Th., Rector 11.00 a.m.--Morning Prayer and Sermon Rev. P.
