Peak Of Traffic Is This Weekâ€"end Demands Caution "There were 15 traffic accident deaths in the province during the Labor Day weekâ€"end last year," Mr. Doucett states. ‘"That fact alone should be enough to remind all motorists and fiedestri&nl to take extra care. Throughout the year there was an average of one motor accident death every 13 hours; but in that threeâ€"day holiâ€" day period at this time last year the average was a death about every five hours." Death worked overtime on Labor Day holiday last year, Highwnyl Minister Hon. George H. Doucett goinu out in a safety lé)penl to oliday motorists and pedestrians to "take it easy" over the coming weekend. ‘"The Labor Day weekâ€"end, comâ€" ing .at the end of the summer traffic peak is almost always a bad period for"traffic accidents in Ontario. Thousands ‘of ‘p!op)e are out making use of the last of the s.mmer holidays. Very large numâ€" bers of our American visitors are driving back to their homes &nd finally, more than half a million of the province‘s children are havâ€" ing their last carefree fling before scg_qo] starts again." > â€" "We have over $1,000,000 in asâ€" tets and owe only about $100,000," Sets and owe onl Mr. Mitchell said. "Ontario‘s record of onky one fatal accident over the August Civic holiday weekâ€"end, despite the very large volume of traffic at that time, was the Tntifying reâ€" sgult of care and caution by motorâ€" ists and rodutrilm alike.

It was then loâ€" cated on the Humber Flats, near what is now Elm Park, on propâ€" erty owned today by the fair secreâ€" tary, N. George Wallace. It is fitâ€" ting that the original property should be occupied by a member of the Wallace family, for a Wallace has been closely associated with Woodbridge Fair for the past 70 years. Since 1879 three members of the Wallace family have conâ€" tinuously held the office of secreâ€" tary. Thomas F. Wallace held the post from 1879 to 1908 and was succeeded by his nephew, C. Len Wallace,~ who tm-neJJ the position over to his cousin, N, George Walâ€" lace in 1928. Two or%:niutions coâ€"operated in 1847 to hold the first fair, with John Gamble as president. They were the West York Agricultural Society and the Vaughan Agriculâ€" tural Society. The property on which today‘s fair is held was purâ€" chased in 1885 and the fair opened in its new location in October of the following year. From time to time, small parcels of land have been purchased and buildings erectâ€" ed or enlarged. _ . These two societies continued to regulate the business of the fair until 1890 when they amalgamated as the Woodbridge Agricultural Society which today continues to operate the Woodbridge Fair.. Beâ€" fore the amalgamation, an attempt .was made to transfer the fair to Weston, but this was forestalled b{ the . second ;resident.

According to the Weston Medical Officer of Health, Dr. W. E. Henry, there have been no cases of polio in Weston since 1937, when there was one case of the disease. No Case Of Infantile Paralysis In Town Of Weston For 10 Years shi In North York township, the MOH, Dr. Carl Hill, reports that the situation is well under hand, and that no cases have \been reâ€" ported, while in Etobicoke one perâ€" son was stricken but is now free of the disease. Weston‘s MOH stated that "With the start of the cooler weather, the rate of infection goes on a definite decline. It is believed that most of us have the infection in our nose or throat at one time or another, but it usually develops in the off child whose health may be a bit under par." At the present time, there is not a single case of the contaqli_gus digease in the town of Weston. That is a good omen in itself, It is an indication that Weston children generally, are vigorous, healthy youngsters, with a food reserve of resistance and vitality. In a statement made by Dr. Henry some time ago concerning infantile paralysis, he said that the first step in Ereveming polio is building up a child‘s vitality. This was done, he continued, by mainâ€" taining a pro{ser diet, getting sufâ€" ficient sleep, lots of fresh air, and plenty of exercise. From Dr. Henry‘s statement we g:xote: "Infantile paralysis is a isease as old as the Egyptian mummies, and rarely breaks out in e{idemic form. When it does reach the e%idemic stage, it is hifihly advisable for fathers and mothers to take Purticulnr pains to guard their children against it. Four things are necessary to koeF up the reserve of vitality and resistance which are needful to sirevent fFolio. These are Yroper et, sufficient sleep, fresh air and sunshine, and plenty of exercise. A child need not have an elaborate diet, but one that is wholesome and vnrfed. He stould receive every day, two glasses of milk, some meat or fish, an egg, or two or three kinds of vegetables. These foods, along with bread and butter, and a limited quantity of some simple dessert provide the proteins and vitamins which are nsceourx.to keep young, S'mwing bodies a state of virile health. Rest and sleep are just as imâ€" &ortut as diet. m“c”i" un: fteen years require at least hours -Ian every night, and Kounger children more. The rest hours for all children should be regular _Like the germs of other infecâ€" ioug diseases, those of infantile ‘eralysis may be carried by adults n the early days the rented tent past of. former years, the Toronto Grey and Bruce nnrrow-_!nce railâ€" way ran specials from Toronto on fair days, for automobiles were as rare as they are common today. The citizens of Toronto came out in great numbers drivinfi horses and buggies, democrat and lumber wagons in ones and twos and threes and in larger groups. How much the travelling %icture has changed is evidenced by the purâ€" chase this year of a large section of ground near the fair grounds for the sole purpose of parking cars. These almost forgotten days were never dull. Colourful "tallyâ€" hos" driven by prominent citizens dressed in their Sunday best and wearing white toppers were always a bri%ht spot in the fair opening. The Toronto parties would nlwu{s include the mayor and his wife, members of the city council and board of control, city and county officials, members of parliament in both houses, and many retail and wholesale merchants. _ _ During the first few years, racers on the track had to take four trips around to race one mile; later the track was enlarged so that only three trips were reâ€" quired. Today, there is a halfâ€"mile track for the many horse races. This year as usual there will be a full racing card, o 3 Beyond the memories of most of us are the picturesque scenes of earlier openings, and the arrival of the business men and city fathers of Toronto who entered the village in various types of conveyances and rigs.

When he didn‘t show up that night Mr. and Mrs. Dtmlog became worried and informed the police about their son‘s absence.
