VEHICLE, SUMMARY A recent summary of commercial motor vehicle inspections disclosed that 86.7% of the vehicle vehicles checked were defective in some way. A co-operative effort by the Ontario Provin- cial Police and the Ministry of Transportation and Communications is under way to increase commercial motor vehicle inspections in an eff- ort to remove the more seriously defective com- mercial vehicles from our highways. Ontario Provincial Police officers on patrol will be spot checking commercial motor vehicl- es and those that are questionable may be escorted to various locations for inspection by qualified motor vehicle mechanics. The Ministry of Transportation and Communications is increasing the availability of qualified motor vehicle mechanics to handle the inspec- tions. : A group of 30 friends and the staff of the Mayfair Hotel gathered to celebrate Mrs. Irene Morin's birthday on Saturday evening.

Over The Line The border between the United States and Canada is the result of no less than seven treaties. Ne- gotiaters who signed the treaty of Paris in 1782 relied upon a map drawn 27 years earlier in defining the border. The map's inaccura- cies raised boundary questions that were not resolved until the Treaty of 1925. TODAY'S CHILD BY HELEN ALLEN ig? LE RE Se EE "THE TORONTO SJ} SYNDICATE Jerry is a good-looking 10-year-old with dark eyes, brown hair and fair skin. He is French Canadian in descent and English- speaking. Healthy and active, Jerry loves the outdoors. His interests involve things a boy can do alone or with one or two others, - rather than group activities. He doesn't go in for team games but is enthusiastic about swimming, bicycling, hiking, skating, hunting, fishing and camping. Jerry's hobby is building model planes. He likes working with tools. Jerry is extremely sensitive and somewhat introverted. He gets on well with other children but is inclined to back away from difficult situations rather than defending himself or standing up for his rights. He has a good sense of humor. Jerry is an average student in Grade three. The fact that he does better in oral than written work suggests he may have a slight perceptual handicap. Parents being sought for Jerry will be people who can com- bine warmth with firm, consistent discipline. His adopting mother and father will need to be patient and understanding if it takes him some time to realize that he is indeed their son. To inquire about adopting Jerry, please write to Today's Child, Box 888, Station K, Toronto M4P 2H2. For general adoption information, please contact your local Children's Aid Society. * HE'S AN OUTDOOR BOY
