Tberee's just one more hurdle bothering safety people today and that's New Year's Eve. the night when all Canada goes out celebrat- ing. - Safety officials. according to the Hon. W. E. Darby. Q.C.. Attorney General. are keeping their fingers crossed until the New Year dawns and are once more reminding local citizens to make their last round of drinks a strong cup of coffee. If they do that. they believe, more Canadians than ever before will have s good chance-of waking up on New Year's momlng-alive. Canada's "one for the road” cam- paign has been in effect in towns and cities across the country for the first time this year. Mr. Darby stated. ”It is too early yet to know the results. but based on the. experience of cities in the Pro- vince of Manitoba and in the United states. the number of ac- cidents should of have been re- duced. New Year's Eve. however, will tell the tale. Unless bhe pub- lic is careful, that is iihe year's most dangerous night for driv- ing."

While they are at it, Canadians might-also begin the New Year with agood resolution. Mr. Darby said. "If coffee as the tone for

th; rosd' can save your life at Christmas or New Year's, it can save your life at other times. too. The danger is intensified during the holiday season, but all through the year there are ac- cidents caused by drivers who have taken the wheel when they were not completely sober. If party hosts and car drivers would resolve to serve and to teke a strong cup of coffee, liberally sweetened with sugar, at the and of a party. they would be lessen- ing the danger of accidents on the road.

Public co-operation is essential to the success of this safety pro- gram. Mr Darby concluded. "Ev- ery individual who is host at a -party about realise that he has at least a moral reqaonslbility for the safety of his guests. If he sends them away in a condition which renders tihem unfit to drive a car. and if they should be in- volved in a serious accident. then he becomes an aoeeuory and. mor- ally at least. is as much to blame as they are."

Royal Tour Visits Scene

(Frednrick Nossal, a reporter tcovering the royal tour of New izealand. went to the scene of the lchristmas Eve rail crash in which 186 people died. Here is the story he wrote at the crash scenez)

By Frederick Nossal

WAIOURU. N. Z., (AP)-When the first light of -day came Christ- mas morning. I stood near the ap- proaches of the wrecked Sulp ur creek bridge, scene of New ea- land's greatest. rail disaster.

Sulphur creek is an alternative name of .Wangaehu river.

Behind rte was the snow white pyramid of Mount Ruapehu, stark and unnaturally beautiful in the dawn. Before me was a nightmare --a scene that might have come straight from hell.

All around now is desolation; Black volcanic soil, tom and twls. ted metal and horrible reminders of people who are dead.

In the river, parties of soldiers are diving and dredging for lbodics as I write.

Mr. and Mrs. Ewen Todd and their daughter Vaunda have moved into the house owned by Mr. and Mrs. George Anderson. for the Winter months. Mr. and Mrs. Anderson are spending the Winter wtih relatives in Toronto.

In a compilation dealing with the place-names of Prince Edward Is- land, it is interesting to note that Breadalhane derives its name from Breadalbane. Perthshlre, Scotland. and is usually found misspelled, Bradalbane.

The December "Crawford Memorial". Christian church Missionary Society was held at the home of Mrs. Earl.Chsppell. on December 11. After the read- ing of the minutes and prayer alr- cle, Mrs. John Hlckox had charge of an instruction devotional pro- gram and (Bible quiz in which all the members participated. "O Lltttlo Town of Bethlehem" and other Christmas hymns were sung. At the conclusion of the meeting the hostess served dainty refresh- ments. '

December 8. was a historic day for Bresdalbsne and vicinity when the first community-owned library

The public library to serve this district began on May 18. 1835 in a room on the second floor of Mac- Kay and Todd's store. A number of years later the store burned down. and the collection of books was lost. The library was then located in a room -of a private home own- ed by Mrs. Bismark Cousins where it has been in operation for many years. contributing to the pleasure. information and education of the community.

Finally at 1:50 a.m. the last, of 14 survivors from the first boat was pulled aboard the Bluejacket by lifllinel.

The Bluejscket then continued the search. and a few minutes later sighted the second lifeboat. it took until am a.m. to get the last of ii persons in the second boat Aboard.

At 3:25 the Bluejarkei sighted two more basis, and arranged with the Orion. which had ap- peared on the sceen. that lath would take one boat.

The Bluejacket had rescued it more persons from the third boat by 3.45 s.m. and about the same time the seveii others were taken aboard the Orion.

An almost endless stream of ,auxious people is arriving to see ithe bodies, dreading lest they rec- .ognlze friends or relatives. One of lthe terrible things about this dis-

aster is that the names of most

of the dead are still unknown. The passengers went to their deaths as sent numbers in railway carriages when a sudden unexplained flood in the river swept a bridge away. The flood has passed now and the river is nothing more than a sluggish, dirty. browd stream wind- ing slowly to the sea. From where I sit, 25 feet above the shallow crack. I can see nly four battered carriages. througi which the water now swirls gently. The fifth is a few hundred yards down stream. The sixth is five miles away. Below me is the great express engine. like a huge black monster that buried its nose rflercely in ground as death struck. The en- gine no longer has a cab. This, with the engineer and fireman still

Just downstream from the wrecked carriages, which look like a gigantic' heap of scrap metal. is s. id-ton bridge girder 43 feet long. On the other bank is an en- tire bridge pier, torn completely from downstream as though it were a pebble. But this pebble weighs so

ns. These sights show the colossal weight of water that must have come hurtling down from that great white mountain.,

But what upsets you are the lit- tle things: A woman's overcoat. soaked and muddy; a.baby's high chair; a tiny red purse with five shillings in it; a little leather- bound diary that says on the Dec. 24 page: " I left Wellington for Auckland."

A boy watching me as I type is still crying. His two pain are dead. He had walked back to the sixth carriage, which was not fully sub- merged, and had got out with the water swirling around his head. The two others, in the doomed for- ward part of the train. were swept towards the sea. ,

Going About 55

"It was horrible, horrible," he said. "We were pelting down straight towards the sulphur creek bridge doing about 65.

"I heard a low roar. but! thought it was the wind in the pines. Then the water hit us and we hit" the floor. Everybody scrambled up at once and then there was one hell of s din. People were knocking out windows and shouting for help. "From other carriages we heard the screams of women trying to find their children. It was pitch dark. It was bedlam."

The boy-he gave his name sim- ply ss John-continued:

"Water was roaring past us. It was freezing cold-it must have been that ice and show coming down. We got. filthy with black slit.

Besides troubles at home. the French are wincing over new set- back abroad.

In Casablanca. the biggest city of her Moroccan protectorate. ter- rorists threw a bomb into a crow- ded marketplace the day before Christmas. Nineteen persons were killed and 28 injured. The bomb- ing incident is a pressing symp- tom of mounting unrest in the protectorate whose nationalists are demanding greater autonomy.

Indo-China Blow

The final blow fell Saturday in indo-Chins. where the war against the Communist-led Viet- minli is draining off French money and manpower to an alarming extent.

The Vietminh stabbed across the narrow waist of lndo-Chino to the Thailand border in an at- tempt to cut the embattled coun- try in two. For French and French Union soldiers in that part of the world. it was a bleak Christmas, indeed.

The French press and public are beginning to burn slowly with indignation at the unhappy state

There have been some bitter editorials in the newspapers in the last few days, culminating -with Saturday morning's edition of the righ wing L'Auore.

The note also suggested that s five-power conference, including Rad China, would contribute "in highest measu c to the settlement of international problems which have come to a head." Ths'Western powers, while lay- ing prirnsry stress on the German- Austrian problems, have left the way open for a discussion of other issues at the Berlin meeting. Aside from the time factor, the Russians also took issue with the other three powers on the building in which the Berlin conference is tc be held. The West had proposed the former Allied control authority building in the U. B. sector of the divided city. but the soviet note said "it would appear expedient to
