This week has been a busy one ’ for Elmer the Safety Elephant.| Mr. Roy Wilson from the Metroâ€"| politan Police Sefety Council hn} been doing the rounds with awards to the schools in * our} area who have had accidentâ€"free‘ school years. A Bronze plaque of Elmer is awarded to lny‘ school who has flown the flag of| Elmer the Safety Elephant !or‘\ one complete school year. A silver plaque is awarded after| two years of complete safety.‘ This is something that is often‘ overlooked or taken for granted,‘ especially here in the suburbs where intense traffic is not preâ€" | sent but to policemen like Roy | Wilson, who spends a great deal | of time with our children teachâ€"‘ ing them the safety rules, inâ€" structing teachers to imbue the importance and asking parents; to coâ€"operate, the suburbs are no exception. Accidents occur anywhere, anytime and to anyâ€" one. As long as there is one‘ car on the road, one bike and or. one child, an accident can occur and often does. And it is usualâ€" ly as the slogan says, only a word until it happens to you or yours. A great deal of time, effort and money goes into eduâ€" cating our childien about safety. sonâ€" and we musn‘t forget Sue Taylor who lent a hand, loud!

I did see some documents that were hazy and full of long clauses. These were read to me and I was told I would have to sign them. Howâ€" ever, they stated the clauses would never have to be enforced if I was a good boy and did everything I was told. So I signed the papers, and started my stay in the Home for the Aged. While they implied they would be glad to bury my money right along with me. I got the impression they were inâ€" terested in my five hundred dolâ€" lars all the same.

Accidents on our streets kill more children than the nine diseases associated with our children.

We should he been in session many, weeks ago, debating and formulating a plan of action adequate for the very serious crises of cash and confidence that faces Canada and its people. The potentially disastrous austâ€" erity measures put into effect, not by Parliament but by the remnants of a publicly discreditâ€" ed conservative cabinet, were supposed to be of a short term nature, but now we are being told by the denoted Minister of ‘Fmance that austerity will be with us for a long time. If this is so and no basic action is takâ€" en immediately to produce the ;long term policies needed for full employment, then we will be in deep trouble this winter. | Austerity medicine is like morâ€" | phine or nitro â€" good for short, | sudden shock treatment, but an overdose kills the patient. As I }see it then, the immediate issues that face the new Parliament are: To York Centre Constituents The football season opened last _ Friday _ when _ Weston‘s Ironmen met Forest Hill in a doubleâ€"header at Forest Hill. The seniors battled to a scoreâ€" less draw and the juniors came up with a 6â€"1 win. The senior game was a real battle, Ron Murray saving the game in the first quarter by blocking a field goal. Quarterback Jim Jago did a fine job of mixing plays, but could not penetrate the Forâ€" est Hill defence. His receivers being covered constantly, Jim was forced to make several fine runs. Coâ€"captain John Charleâ€" ton commented after the game that Forest Hill tackled much better, manâ€"forâ€"man, than did the Ironmen, but coach Mel ‘Thnmpson said he had "no complaints‘ on his squad‘s perâ€" formance. 1.

Canada‘s Financial and Politâ€" ical Independence. Roughly 75% of our natural resources and 65% of our major industâ€" ries are owned and controlled by foreign absentee landlords. Steps must be taken to correct this situation if Canada is to become a respected nation, standing on her own two feet and speaking in the Councils of the World with a clear, free independent voice. If we do these things there Bill Francescut by name, unleasâ€" ed two fifty yard efforts, with a game average of forty yards. Punts like that put the opposiâ€" tion quite a way from pay dirt. Murray Death unloaded a Statue of Liberty play that gained good yardage on every run. The real work on this play was done by Carmen Duvono, who, throughâ€" out the game, averaged better than twelve yards per carry, and caught two passes good for twenty more yards. The Weston major was set up very nicely by Forest Hill. Deep in Forest Hill territory, Hugo Piscetelli chargâ€" ed in on the Hill quarterback, Cohen, before the play had deâ€" veloped past the point where Cohen got the ball. In desperaâ€" tion, he weakly propelled the pigskin towards a halfâ€"back, but the ball never reached him. Weston recovered the ball and had a first and goal to go situaâ€" tion on the one.

Councillior Ault wondered why the matter was before Council in the first place. "Mrs. Moller is not creating a nuisance, and it is common practice to conduct a business of this kind from the home". An Allâ€"Canadian Flag would do much to bind us together. "I don‘t think Mrs. Moller inâ€"| tends to put up a large neon sign | or anything of that nature", said Councillor Perry, "and I think that a small sign such as is used by doctors, lawyers, dentists, etc.. would be what she has in mind . Mrs. Molier told Council that she teaches both ballroom and classical dancing. "Do you teach the ‘Twist‘", asked Councillior Wood. When Mrs. Moller reâ€" plied that she did Mayor Bull commented, ‘"From the moves of councillors around here, I‘d say you have several good pupils right in this room". we do these things there be some hope that Canada fulfill her destiny, JAMES E.
