If that sounds familiar, you may have read the same thing a short time ago when the Pedal for Peace group passed through. They are one of the many -smaller groups who have united with others to form the Peace Petition Caravan in order to create a louder voice on Parliament Hill. Arrangements have been made for Caravan par- ticipants to be heard in Ot- tawa on October 20 when they will begin a 48 hour peace vigil. During - the vigil, the names of all of the Canadians who signed the petitions will be read. The total from Victoria, British Columbia to Ter- race Bay was approximate- ly 150,000 and they have not as yet reached the more populated regions of Canada. Following the vigil, the petitions will be presented to the leaders of the three major political parties and copies will be sent to in- dividual members of parliament to be presented to the speaker of the House when Parliament reconvenes. Lynn Connell, Spokesman for the group said that the Caravan has already been successful even before reaching parliament because of an increase in awareness among Canadians regar- ding the peace movement. She added that had they been able to co-ordinate canvassers in every town and city, perhaps the outreach would have been even greater. Local co-ordinator, Ed- dy Oulette from Schreiber reported . that 120 signatures were collected by canvassers in Schreiber.

A little Care vas Each year in Canada, approximately 100 school children of ages 5-14 are killed in pedes- trian traffic accidents. Many of these would not. have happened if child- ren had obeyed the rules: of pedestrian safety, but all too often, children get so wrapped up in the excitement of the mo- ment that they don't think about the conse- quences of their im- pulsiveness. October 17 to 23 marks School Safety Week and the Canada Safety Council would like to take this oppor- tunity to remind motor- ists to drive carefully, especially in -- school zones and _ residential areas. ' Now that autumn is here, nightfall arrives 'early and students may be more difficult to see returning home from school. Always be on the alert for the unexpected, like a child suddenly darting into the path of traffic. Always stop for flashing schoolbus lights, and consider these a warning that little ones are near. Be WANTED Girl to share apt. have fully furnished just need someone to share 2 the rent. Phone 825-9349 after 5:00 p.m. extra careful when pass- ing a cyclist; he may. suddenly have to swerve to avoid a pothole or lose his balance riding over wet leaves. Always allow a full lane when passing a cyclist -- this is the law and _ good common sense. The responsibility for child safety on the street is shared among child- ren, parents, educators and motorists alike. This year's theme for School Safety Week is "A Little Care Makes Mishaps Rare." It is hoped that it. will remind Canadians that a little effort on everyone's part goes a long way to ensure the safety of our school children.
