In fact, the honeybee alone claims almost as many victims in North America as the dreaded rattler. The greatest dangers that face us in daily life do not come from obvious "killers" that we would take every precaution to avoid. We are more likely to die prematurely from a banana skin on the sidewalk, than from a gunman's bullet. All rabid animals, venomous reptiles and insects combined cannot match the threat of the common cold. The Ontario Safety League points out that the main danger on the highway does not come from the recognizably hazardous drivers -- the drunks, the deranged, the speed-demons. Statistics show that 15% of traffic accidents are attributed to 1% of the drivers -- the hard core of thoroughly dangerous "repeater" drivers who should be removed from the roads, when they are positively identified. 3% of drivers have no accidents at all. So the very bad and very good drivers, comprising 4% of the total, account for 15% of all accidents -- leaving the other 96% of "average" drivers responsible for 85% of the accidents. In other words, the overwhelming balance of danger comes from the ordinary, average driver. The man who can handle a car competently, and does so most of the time. The man who sometimes gives a little less than his best to the job of driving, because he has an inner conviction that, even if he is a little careless at times, an accident could never possibly happen to him. The man who slaughters a hundred people every month in Ontario traffic.--Tilbury Times. family visited Mrs. H. Welton paid to the Trenton Memorial Cobourg on May 9th. The mem-on Sunday. Hospital.
