PAGE 12 TERRACE BAY NEWS JULY 5, 1973 PLANNING A VACATION? Be certain it won't be your last. Each year many people meet tragic 'deaths or suffer grie- vious bodily injury under conditions condercive to happiness and well-being. Very little forethought is given to the possibility of being involved in an accident while holidaying because we tend to think very positively and many people feel "it would ne- ver happen to me". Many find brochures and phamplets are available on prechecking auto- mobiles, trailer, boats, etc., but very few, if any, are available on prechecking the dri- ver. Prepare yourself both mentally and phy- sically before a vacation and plan an agenda which includes periodical rest stops, which will make you more aware of traffic around you. Don't become overtired or weary, and do not drive in a completely closed vehicle. Make cer- tain there is adequate ventilation. If you should get a summer cold and are ta- king medication of any kind read the instruc- tions on the package and be sure it will not affect your driving ability, and be certain that all glass and wipers are in good condition so they will not impair your vision. Have a happy vacation not one marred by an accident caused by driver error. RECREATION NEWS SWIMMING LESSONS: Swimming lessons for the month of July star- ted on Tuesday, July 3rd.

TODAY'S CHILD BY HELEN ALLEN By cc i ae aE, gl "THE TORONTO SJ] SYNDICATE Ken has had far too many changes in his 12 years with the result that he has begun to feel he doesn't belong anywhere. These experiences have not made him bitter but he is wary about giving his trust and affection. Ken is an average student in Grade Six. Adults find him a most interesting boy because he is articulate and well-informed on a variety of topics -- '"a marvelous conversationalist," his Children's Aid Society social worker says. The outdoors has a strong appeal for Ken. He enjoys farm life and is a camping enthusiast. He is also fond of music and is learning to play the guitar. Anglo-Saxon in descent, Ken is slight and small-boned with light brown hair, blue eyes and fair freckled skin. His health is good. To inquire about adopting Ken, please write to Today's Child, Box 888, Station K, Toronto. For general adoption information, please contact your local Children's Aid Society. LOVES THE OUTDOORS On May 9, 1973, the Schreiber Hydro-Elec- tric Commission achieved an eleven year "No Compensable Accident Record", and was so rec- ognized by the Electrical Utilities Safety Association of Ontario Incorporated.
