To the uninitiated, knowing that because of nocturnal habits sound absurd. However. wherever they live, they scatter their menu telligibie to the average man in the street are easily read by scientists Mother Nature has supplied these birds of prey with special tools. With their powerful. hooked talons they seized and then victims, which. if not too large. are eaten whole. Otherwise their sharp. hooked bills are used to hear the flesh into large pieces. But all Owls actually swallow everything: meat. bcnes. fur. claws, and what: not, A Great Horned Owl will even tackle a porcupine. The Canadian nat.urii- list, Dan Mccowan, has told the 3 Story oi a member of this species that was brought down by a rifle bul- which the intrepid bird had not een able to dispose of in the dinary way, Under every other circumstances. the entire catch goes down to the Owl's stomach. There the nutritious portions are absorbed. while all the indigestible matter is formed into round pi-llets that are ejected from the mouth. Young Owls gt-e in- satinble, eating nightly they own weight in food, The ground sur. rounding their home is"iiteraliy covered with these disgmged pol. lets. After examining them. a. scl- entlst is able to tell exactly what. kind of food parents of s.ich a spec- ies bring to their nestlings. If the ground under the rcosc of an adult Owl is systematically watched, the scientist not only tinds out what that individual has eaten, but can estimate the size and num- ber of its meals, we then have the evidence. which cannot be disputed, I and know just what each species of Owl prefers to ant. and what it takes under unusual conditions or times of stress. We are assured. for instance that though fully 75 Ola of s. Short-eared'Owls diet consist; of mice, when ttiere was a plague of voles these tie animals were con. Siiimlyy ca n. The Screech owl feeds extengvely on insects, yet an- joys varied meals. About 1-7 of its yearly intlke consists of birds, but examinatian of pellets proves that only necsslty causes it to kill birds -severe winter weather, or when there is difficulty in finding enough suitable nourishment near by for a young family.

CHARLOTTETOWN lwvi::r.iL NOTES WHY NOT THE BLOOD TEST POE DRIVERS INVULV IN HIGHWAY ACCIDENTS? 1.1; drinking cause of accidents on involved the IE I high- Forty-ftve per cent of all major automobile accidents involve either a. drunk driver or I drun- ken pedestrian, Dr. 1.. Jaslyn Rogers. head of the lDepartment of Analytical Chemistry at the University of Toronto and con- sultant to the Attorney General of Ontario, declared at a Rotary Club luncheon. 2. Is this report on Alcohol as a cause of highway traffic trag- edies supported by other Cana- dian authorities? Dr. Jan Roussel. Quebec ico-legal expert. has stated that half of all fatal highway acci- dents are caused by drinking, either on the part of the driver or pedestrian. i 3. Is this verdict of the large number of highway accidents caus- c' by drinking supported by other countries overseas? Before the Medical society of med- London, England, this statement by Dr. W. M. Eccles, F. R. C. 3.. passed unchallenged: In Sweden. Norway and Germany the blood alcohol-content test has establish- ed that at least -to per cent of per- sons involved in road accidents under the influence of al; 4. In what way does liquor af- fect the driver so as to cause an accident? These are the effects of drink- ing which in the case of the diriv- er of I motor car lead to acci- dents - impairment of judgment. of concentration of attention, of power to estimate risks, and of clear vision. These effects occur with much smaller doses of al- cohol than are necessary to pro- duce obvious drunkenness. A man's Judgment is impaired long before his speech. A man becomes an unsafe driver long before he loses the power to walk. Yet the driver himself may think that he has never diriven better. 5. How can it be known when a. man who occasionally drinks but is an experienced driver in no longer safe to allow on the road? In 1932 Professor Widmark in Sweden published his experiences with the blood alcohol test, and since then the method has been used widely in many countries. It has been found reliable and is often used as evidence in court. h Q13 Nk if I ii”. I il l ..s. as X pix.

If the amount is 0.5 per cent or less, that is good evi- oence that the subject was not under the influence of alcohol. Between 0.05 per cent and 0.15 per cent he may or may not be un- der the influence. it the amount is 0.15 or over. he is definitely un- der the influence of alcohol to such an extent as to make him unsafe as the driver of a. motor vehicle. This figure of 0.15 per cent has been accepted by, among others, a House of Lords Commit- tee in England, and by the Na- tional Safety Council of America. as well as by the New York State Legislature. This figure of 0.15 pair cent or 16 parts in 10,000 is the important one for our pur- pose. It indicates that the alcohol the man has taken was definitely affecting him and. therefor, in all probability contributed to the ac- cident. 8. How many were killed on the highways last year? How many of these fatalities were caused by drinking? There were 1800 killed on Gami- dian roads. There were 330 killed by highway traffic accidents last D0liGE iirrisnniiiiiiiv, at My Dodge mm!

If we cept the percentage of 46 as al- cohol-caused. that means more than one every clay of the year -more than one unnecessary death every day. Drinking drivers kill five times as many Canadians as are murdered. They .are a soc- ial menace six times deadlier than polio. '7. But what can we do about this gruesome fact? It is understood that Attorney General Wismer of British Col- umbia. has urged the Federal Government amend the Criminal tests for drivers suspected of drunkennell. It is well known that Col. Arthur Welsh of the On- tario Liquor Control Board would welcome such I move. If Parlia- ment would bring in legislation that would permit our -police to take an alcohol test, convictions would be obtained in almost all cases where drivers are untbr the influence ot.liquor. At present there are loopholes in tlie law so that drinking driv- ers get off lightly. B. I-ins the blood telt.beO!l PNV' ed satisfactory?

In Canada tho figure is 121 deaths per million population. Surveys taken in Sweden's ae- cond largest city - Gothenburn -show that after the new law came into force, traffic accidents and orimlnal ciiscs too were cut: by 2'? (twenty-seven) per cent. (These figures are from Macleani Magazine.) If we believe in the need for blood tests for drunken drivers as a means of clearing our highways of the menace of murder on wheels we can write today, with our alg- natures attached, to our repre- sentative at: Ottawa. Such an amendment to our law need not be complicated, as for example: ”l!:very person seeking a driv- er'a license or renewal of an ex- piring driver's license, shall, as 1. condition of the issuance of In new license, sign a statement of consent to the taking of II chemical test of his blood. urine or breath, to determine intoxication in.the.event that he should he charged with operating a motor vehicle while lntoxir-a ted." y-cusiom nous 1 Ictore you buy I new car, in smart to test ,It . . . drive it . . . tqprovo the value.
