One moment he was play- ing gaily on the road the nest he was lying quit* still. The driver .who hit him said he didn't have a chance to avoid the child. He didn't think that the little fellow, romrping with his pals on the left side of the road, would scamper the entire width of the road at the sound ot (his horn. But he did. This man, a father himself, simply does not undei-stand children. Other- wise, he would not have manoeuver- ed his car into a position which made it impossible to prevent the accident. He would have known that child's actions are unpredictable and he would have kept his car under control at a safe distance until he w^s cer- tain it was safe to proceed. This •would have cost him a few extra seconds. The time he ti-ied to save cost Jinumy his life. Safety experts point out that child- ren are carefree, rath«r than care- less. They naturally look to adults to look out for them. .\ child is a poor judge of speed and distance, and his thoughts rarely take into consideration his o^Ti danger. When he is intent at his games he resents the intrusion of the motorist, who rouses him from his world of imiag- ination to one fraught with danger. It is hard for him to react safely in that split second which the motorists allows h'm. Responsibility for children's safety is largely the driver's. His proper tise of care, caution and common sense will never put him into the position of saying. "I didn't have a chance to avoid h'-'.n." AVERAGE VALUE OF F VKM L.WI) IS S,i.> PER ACRE .\verage value of occupied fai-ni iumi in Canada for iy47 was $35 an acre, an increase of nine percent over the average value indicated in lP4i! and 40 percent more than in VJo'J. the Bureau of Statistics reported. Reflecting the relative increases in farm produce prices, the average in- cludes both cultivated and unimprov- ed land. The bureau's index of fann prices of agricultui-al pivducts for VM~ was y5.5 percent above the U>3o' li>39 level, whije for the same year the index of prices of commodities and services used by farmers advanc- ed 57.4 percent from the 19C}5-ltK}i.> base- period level. Damaging Floods Caused By Tree Cutting Policy The flucds fivm melting snows and rains whicii caused miUion:^ of doll- ars of damage tlu-oughoui Westerr. Ontario and around Toronto during the past couple of weeks, have been due. primarily, to the stupidity of man in cutting down the swamps and bush on waste lands and not replac- ing with younger stock. The swamps and bush lands hold back the melt- ing snow and spring vains and allow it to gradually escape. This in turn allows more water to enter the gi-ound. resulting in our water supply in our wells being sure the year- round. A large dam was erected at Bel- wood, near Fergus, and the Grand River held back near its source, and the surface water was kept from flooding the lartre cities furt'ner down stream. Even at that the water from otlier tributaries caused severe dant- age. Another large works to hold back the water of the Conestoga River, in the Grand River system, will keep more water back in the spring floods. But to get hack to the snurce of the ti-ouble it will be found that the denuding of the land of its forest growth is the main cause of the floods. Another cause was the interlacing of siiuare miles of our province with drainage canals to run otf the sm-plus wBter and allow more land to come under cultivation. The problem is province" wide and can only be tackled by jointly by the provincial and municipal govern- ments if a solution to tjhe problem is to be found, and then it cames back to the individual farmer or land- owner who is denuding his land of the trees. Fur Coats Were Worn As Easter Rzument. Une of ti;e worst blizzards of the year struck thi^ district Saturday night and covered the ground with a blanket of snow. Snow plows were required to clear the higrhways for motor traffic. The weather was too cold for the wearing of Easter lin- ery by the ladies aad fur coats were predominant. Rain had commenced falling Good Friday afternoon and the fine weather of the week pre- vious came to an e^d, and by Satur- day morning the roads and streets were coated w-ith ice.
