Winter Driving Hazards

"A new booklet has been issued by the National Safety Council which sets down for the first time the results of eleven years of test research by the Council's com- mittee on winter driving hazards. The booklet is aimed, at reducing the high death and accident rates resulting from in- adequate traction and reduced visibility-- the major winter driving problems from November through February. Six basic rules for safe winter driving are offered.

Emphasis is placed on the need of get- ting ”the feel of the road" while driving slowly and away from other traffic, to find out just how slippery the road is; on ad-

lions so that one can stop or maneuver safely; on keeping windshields clear, and keeping headlights, wiper blades and de- frosters in topnotch condition; on using tire chains on snow and ice, which cut stopping distances about in half, and in- crease starting and hill-climbing traction by four to seven times; on pumping brakes to slow down or stop (jamming them can lock the wheels and throw the car into a dangerous skid); and on keeping well back of the car ahead, so that there is ample room to stop, remembering that without

wrong in its ruling, but there is a point here," comments the Journal. "Most par- ents, rich and poor, accept the children's allowance without question, just as old- age pensioners, again rich or poor, take whatever payment is issued to them. Tax- ation is a great leveller and it is de- signed so that the rich will not become rich- er by virtue of allowances paid by the state.i

"It may be fearfully complicated and an abomination to the orderly accountants mind, but we should not be so hidebound that we cannot give a thought to the in- dividualist who doesn't want the state to help him in maintaining his'children. The parent in the case we mention may not have given a gift to the Crown, but it is evident that the general revenues of Canada are 35180 to the good because he refused to ac- cept the payments he could have collected. That may not be a gift, technically, but the Queen has 0180 she didn't expect to have and that's 0180 the rest of the tax- payers will not have to .raise for govern- ment expenses." -

Korean News Unread?

The Vancouver Sun wanted to find out if anyone is reading stories about the Korean War. So it ran the same dispatch three days in a row. What happened? Nothing, reports the Canadian Press. Not one or The Sun's 500,000 readers phoned to check the "error." The editors pointed out that whenever a comic strip or feature column is dropped or repeated the switch- board is deluged with calls from irate read- ers. "Deafening silence" was the only re- action to the repetition of the Korean story, The Sun said. The story was print- ed on the front page each day.

Yet it 'would be inaccurate to say that' people are unaware of the Korean War or indifferent to it, suggests an exchange. It

tire chains it takes three to twelve times as far to stop on snow and ice as on dry concrete. g All tires, except big truck sizes, are now made largely of synthetic rubber. The com- mittee reported that while these tires wear better, perform normally on dry or wet pavement and have other advantages, they skid about 8 percent farther on snow and ice and have 14 to 35 percent poorer for- ward traction ability than pre-war natural rubber tires. Reinforced tire chains, de- scribed as "the best self-help available to the driver," reduce breaking distances on, both snow and ice about half, increase for-l ward traction on ice about seven times,

-and on packed snow outpull conventional

tires nearly four times.

Britain's Future

A good thought for our Canadian states- men, and all participating in the Common- wealth Conference at London to bear in mind, is contained in the following words spoken on his recent visit to Ottawa by Rt. Hon. Anthony Eden, British Secretary of State and Deputy Prime Minister. Mr.l Eden was addressing a service club, and be; dealt with numerous problems confrontingi the United Nations at the present time.

"I know," he said, "there are some who believe that the contribution Britain can make in the modern world is a declining one. I do not accept. that for one instant. On the contrary, I am convinced that the leadership and experience we have to give ran be as decisive in shaping world events as at any time in all our long history. The mood of our people is one of confidence and resolution. Two world wars, in which we fought with you from the beginning to the end, may for a time have drained our ma- terial resources. But the opportunities are still there. We can rebuild within this Commonwealth and Empire. Our skill in so many technical fields can command a future for our people. Our political ex- perience can lead and guide the world in its pursuit of peace. In both these spheres of industry and statecraft, Britain has much to give. I pray that she may make her contribution, not in any narrow sense, but in a true fulfilment of her destiny and in the service of mankind."

is appalling'and fraught with great danger of spreading into global war. It is the fact that the opposing forces in Korea are fight- ing it out along a line where the changes in the front are confined to a number of

strategic peaks changing hands back and pl

forth, that makes it seem a repetitious af- fair.

It would not do to fail to pay attention to what is happening in Korea. Canadians are in the thick of the fight. A newly- arrived Canadian battalion-the 3rd Bat- lalion of the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry-went into action there last week. We cannot afford to be indifferent about our own flesh and blood.

A committee of the Standards Division of the Department of Trade and Commerce has been set up to study the matter of standard sizes of women's clothes. It is too much to hope, of course, that every woman will ever be able to get an accur- ate fit off the rack but it should be pos- sible to know that a particular size means the same thing at different times and in different makes of clothing.

It is not altogether a matter for con- .gratulation that this Province is the only one not showing an increase in the num- ber of patients in mental institutions. The figures represent accommodation available probably more accurately than the stand- ard of mental health. A start has been made in the treatment of mental patients here but it would be wrong to assume on the basis of statistics that the need is less than in other parts of Canada.

Marketing is a complex procedure and potato markets are particularly sensitive to various factors. The minimum price for table stock set by the P. E. I. Potato Mar- keting Board cannot be allowed to get out of line with overall conditions. Dealers fear, of course, that an impractical min- imum price would cut off sales completely during important shipping periods, while the Board feels competent to set a reason- able figure which, will prevept "distress selling" without pricing Island potatoes off the market.

Notes From Another Island 3, . I.

LONDON, England:- Not for a long time has our public con- science been so vigorously exercis- ed as lately over the question of corporal punishment for crimes of violence; and not for along time has there been a matter on which smc action by the authorities was so clearly demanded by the pee-

B. On many of the social issues which have confronted us in re- cent years opinion has been sharp- ly divided with no overwhelming preponderance of thought on the one side as against the other. Per- haps this state of affairs arises out of our political beliefs. In- deed it is more than likely. for most of our internal controvers- ies since the war have sprung from the ideas of one or other of our main polltlical parties. and two general elections within recent memory have shown clearly e- nough that. the country is pretty well equally divided in this res- peet. But on this matter of suitable violence against innocent persons retribution for those convicted of the division of opinion is far from balanced: the scales are heavily weighted in favour of giving the thugs a. taste of their own medic- inc. . 0 .

This sort of "medicine". until a few years ago, took the form of 9. number of strokes of the cat-o'- nine-talls. It was a. drastic punish- ment, administered under medi- cal supervision, and was not order- ed lightly. But many high-minded people, themselves law-abldimz citizens, were not. happy about 2!). To them. the "cat" seemed a bar- barous implement, qulte out of place- in this enlightened age.

Whether they let their loftinesa of purpose overrule more practi- cal considerations was - and is - a matter for debate. At all events corporal punishment in all forms was abolished in 1948. La- ter it was reinstated for attacks on prison officials, but for of- fences against the public it was 13 thing of the past; banished, it was argued by its opponents, like other relics of less clvllisea days.

Almost at. once - or so it seem- ed, though statistics were produc- ed to show it was not so - crimes of violence increased. soon at- terwards agltntton began for its re- instatement. Petitions were or- ganised to this end by citizens who believed themselves to be acting in the public interest from ideals as righteous as those which led to the abolition of the punishment in the first place.

Eventually came. 1. lull. The pub- lic agitation died down. Perhaps there were other matters of great- er natdonml importance to oc- cupy our minds; or perhaps the incidence of violence in crime really did fall off; or, again. per- haps it. did not. and we Just. not used to it.

Whatever it wu. the whole busi- ness was left. as it was. But. late- ly the controversy has flared up again, with greater emphasis than ever before on the need for Iome measure: to be taken to protect innocent people from being at- uicked.
