deplores the exoeasimly high rate of road fatalities ca ed by motrnr accidents. Judging from -the yearly accident toll in North America, he questions whether the benefit! gained from cheap and conveni- ent transportation haven’t been purchased at too high a price.

"The number of lives sacrificed by carelessness on the highways is g sad commentary on our modern way of life". Ml‘. ‘lull-I‘ ma "'l‘he_bombs that fell on -tendon. ‘on Berlin. on Hiroshima, cords of dead and injured at which um whole civilized world was aghast. Yet today the continued slaughter of innocent victims is ac- reptcd complacently as part of our daily life."

Mr. Millar believes that I-ilghwey accidents control can be achieved; but this requires whole-hearted public support. and drivers must be convinced that they face a grave

respo ‘“‘llty to society every moment they are behind the wheels of cars. '

Education and the enforcement of traffic laws can reduce the great majority of traffic accidents. he claims. But while praising the work being done safety organisations. policefservlce clubs and the press to check the rising death tolls. he adds that there still remains a large precentage of accidents caus- ed by deficiencies of machines and roadways. The good work being done by mechanical engineers is a direct challenge to highway engi- neers.

Mr. Mlilar says that one solu- tion of the auto-tranmortation problem is to relieve congestion. frills is being accomplished by “con- trolled access" highways, the in- stallation of clover- leaf intersect- ions and the creation of bridges and subways. Wide right-of-ways. gentle curves and easy gradients are among the aids that are being incorporated into trunk roads to ensure safe driving. Other improve- rnents are wide shoulders and shal- low ditches. in addition. snow- clearing, sanding and the use of ice-dlssolvents combine to pro- vide safe surfaces for winter driv- ing in Ontario.

Tales with a comic twist are as plentiful as the big fish story. they contribute a great deal to make

The air was slightly aulphurous one morning at sturgeon around I a. m.‘a.fler Bruce Wonnacott had carefully played two llsh into his basket. Elated with hooking a

pair with one cast, he took no chances as he coaxed them into shoal water just below

Sturgeon Bridge. But what would any fishermen say if he hooked two nice fish and found net marks all over them. You can't show this kind of fish to wisz.~cracking friends. Bruce said it.

The same gentleman got a sur- prise one day at Grand River be- low Bridgetown. A particularly lively specimen took his fly and was soon on shore. It was a rain- bow trout tlpping two pounds. which had evidently escaped from the rearing pond at Cardigan and grown to quite a size in salt wat- er. .

A very handy wicider of rod and line, not to speak of guns, is Lloyd Wonnacoii brother of Bruce. Lloyd can yarn all day about fishing or shooting, and he specializes in the unusual. Just one sample from his well-stocked unwritten library will indicate his style. Accompan- ied by "Mack" Mocovurt the type- writer expart, Lloyd was fishing in the marshy country which cov- er: a large area seawards from Brazil's Bridge. on the South side of the Hlllsboro River. It's a tricky place to fish and only those who know it well venture very far out on the marsh, when the tide starts rolling in. which it does at quite a rate in the narrow stream. Patiently whipping the water Lloyd spotted a large trout float- ing past. apparently _dead. With a little manoeuvring he brought the fish ashore and found that it was’ only stunned. and had quite a kick left in it. several cranes were do- lng some fishing on their own. nearby, and Lloyd deduced that one of them had struck the trout with his long beak. but found him too big to handle.

In good spirits they returned to Olmrlottetown, and stopped at a store to weigh the big one. Then they discovered that the catch had been left behind on the banks of the Moreil River. Back they went the whoiem miles but the fish were gone. A few days later they received a letter ex- plaining that the writer. had found the evening’: catch and some fish- ing equipment. He and his family had eaten the fish. but were glad to return the fishing tackle.

Meeting an acquaintance he held forth this wise “There are more trout off Victoria Park roadway than at Fortune and if the Park was in miles from Charlottetown you wouldn't get elbow room there today."

His acquaintance didn't agree

with this opinion and Charlie sug- ‘gested proving it than and there. The two drove to the park and charlie’: friend, all rigged up to head for Fortune. soon had a rod together. The tide was high and on the third cast the skeptical one hooked I pair of trout. It was the perfect background for the use of the soul-satisfying words "I told you so." Mr. Earle did not miss his cue.

B! Gil Doddl

Unbeaten on the track since 1943, holder of the world's indoor record for the mile run. Cli!‘Dod<’s is one of the . greatest ath etic champions of this age. all dis- closes here his spiritual form:la-- snd that of many other great ath- letes--whicll can make the differ- ence between a good performer and a champion.

Many people think that religion is for sissies--and the weak, the sick, the aged, and the desperate. But those who take the trouble to look closely will discover that reli- gion and faith have always pro- duced the grerest examples of courage and heroism.

If these skeptics refuse to be im- pressed with the courage of our religious forefathers, however, they will be impressed by the actions and the beliefs of present day

heroes on the athletic fields of America. And here is something they

should know. Many of the great- est athletes of yoday, champions in all fields. are deeply religious men--and pray before each contest. These expressions of faith by athletes do not receive szacc on the sports pages; hence. their ad- mirers never discover this side of their heroes. Many athletes wll not express their religious beliefs openly for fear they will seem like hypocrites. Thus. many peop'e form the mistaken idea that all sports figures are hard-playing, hard-living men. with no interest .in religion.

~ Pray: For All

Gunder l-lagg, one of the great- est runners in the history of the track, and against whom I had the fortune to compete some years ago. always prayed before each race. During one meet in which I-lagg. Bill I-lulse. and myself were to run the mile. I asked Gun<'er with friendly interest what he prayed for.

"Gil," he said, “I was praying for all of us--you, l-lulse, and myself." . "Didn't you pray that you'd win?" I asked quizzically. .

He shook his head, "I Just pray- ed that each one of us would do his best." he replied simply. The perfect answer from a great cham- pion. I-lagg then went on to win the race too.

This is only one case. but I know of many other athletes in track alone who prayed regularhr be- 1ore..a._race...Many _msre. champions. in their field. who looked to God to give them strength and that "something extra" which most champions have.

My sports philosophy is not to run with the idea of breaking a record, or . even solely to win, but to do my best. Sports fans demand this from all contestants. 'Ihose who don't produce their best. re- ceive a full blast of fan disapprov- al--snd deserve it. «

One of the greatest thrills in sports is to see some seemingly outclassed performer come from far behind to whip the favourite. How did he do it? By- giving his but regardless of how hopeless it seemed.

l.essans\ in Sports

'I‘h'o same idea holds true with religion. Christians are judged ac- cording to their effort and the good they can accomplish. Becom- ing a good Christian takes the some hard work that goes into training for running a. race. Sports can teach great Chris- tian lessons. Defeat, for example. taught me the lesson that I must learn how to examine myself, find the reasons for defeat and over- come them.

Back in 1043 I was winning races consistently. Gradually the idea took root that I was good enough to produce whenever I wanted to. This attitude alone was enough to take the edge off my will to win and prepare me for a licking. It happened at tho Millrose games. Running the mile, I had led most of the way. was in fro t on the home stretch. and pre::ar d for that pleasing sensation of finish cord breaking against my chest. Then out of nowhere came a runner to flash by and nip me at the tape.

'An accident. i thought in my- self? after recovering from the first shock of surprise and dismay. But in the next race I finished third and was beaten most of the way: This brought me up with a jolt. I took stock of myself. Then I realised that my attitude was

Led by speedy Joe MscKinn.on. who performed the hat trick. the Graham's Road Monarchs sent the French River Hawks down to a 5-2 defeat on the night of March 22. This game tied the series at two games for each team. The game was played before a capacity crowd. The ice was fast and the game was cleanly played, not a penalty throughout.

For the winners Macxinnon, R. Wlgmore and E. Cole were the pick, while for the losers H’. Mac- Ksy and W. Duggan turned in smart performances.

Freetown needs but one more win to win trophy.

The game was a crowd pleaeer throughout with plenty of bodily contact and spills. Both teams were weakened at times by penal- ties, each side at one time play- ing three to a side on the forward and defence lines. -

It was a wide-open encounter and both goalies were called upon to make some spa-rkilng saves.

For the winners W. Simmons led the parade with three goals followed by Campbell. Macliiurdo and Mill with_ a “brsee" each. For the losers G. Woodside, the hard- working defenceman for Kelvin. shot their lone marker.

Good Body. Good Mind

All athletes have their own for- muias for preparing themselves mentally for a ccntes‘.- Mine is quite simple. since the ma1or;ty of track meets are in New York, I have discovered a church that holds :1 service cash Saturday evening at six-thirty. After attending this ser- vice, I return to my room and read the Bible or simply rest and think about God. Soon I am completely filled with the quiet peace and as- surance. ! then see the race in its proper’ perspective and relative importance.

A strong body alone is not eonugh to make a champion. A good mind is also essential. For an athlete must be able to absorb knowledge and coaching and a.bove all to understand the basic principles of aportsm p. The proper mental attitude is to aim for the top, to concede viotorrto no one, to be equally a goodwinnar and a good loser. and to look to God (or strength and courage. ._

They could he launched from an aircraft or fired from under the surface.
