PAGE TWO Rest before starting out on a long trip, don‘t try to drive too far in a day, stop for regular coffeeâ€" breaks on the highway, make sure you are psychoâ€" logically fit to drive, and you stand a pretty good chance of spending an Accidentâ€"free summer. This advice comes from R. B. Baillie, president of the continentâ€"wide American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators and Commissioner of Motor Vehicles for the Province of Manitoba. Mr. Baillie, who is also chairman of the comâ€" mittee on motor vehicle administration of the Canâ€" adian Highway Safety Conference said that the driver‘s state_of mind and fatigue after many hours spent at the wheel are contributing factors to most highway accidents. o Do . ___â€" Mental impulses and fatigue are behind a great many eurrent violations of traffie rules and errom which cause accidents, Mr. Baillie says. c _ The well known Canadian highway safety exâ€" pert cautions motorists against driving when they feel sleepy, worried, tupset or prececupied. "It is almost easier to tell that summer has come to Canada once more by looking at the headâ€" lines in newspapers reporting the latest drowning victims, than by noticing the new leaves on the trees," says Dr. Gordon Bates, General Director of the Health League of Canada. _ S e "More than a thousand Canadians lose their lives every year through drowning, and attention at this time should be called, not only to the conventional rules of safety which should be observed, especially by swimmers and vacationers, but also to the allâ€"imâ€" portant matter of srtif}clal mpiratign."uk ul . # e o o ie e i s "It is more than 16 years since Health Magazine first called attention to many serious misconceptions which arose in copnection with the problem of drownâ€" ing and artificia?’ respiration," he‘ says. 2. wA9Es CDDDME CBRE MA C OmE OE Mo en ieet en ertceateen t P "There has been a general and mistaken opinion that if a person is under water for more than four or five minutes, artificial respiration is useless. This is incorrect. There are numerous instances of persons having been revived even after being submerged for as long as half an hour.”. _ 2o y . wels EXZ3RAs Conn DDWRMEIR: MEVMC AMACIERCIA "Another misconception has to do with signs of death. In drowning cases the ordinary signs of death do not count. Victims of drowning accidents have been revived in spite of the fact that for comparâ€" atively long periods, they have appeared to be dead. For perhaps several hours the victim hta;s 1‘1_ot br.e‘e\at}:- ' i & w a o4 90 n ccl Waa nA AM Sndsn iainte Tt diheindidietete tniiednidbniindisen ies n ed, there has been no pulse, no detectable heart beat, and no eye réflex. These are the ordinary accepted signs of death." â€" "Rules laid down by the Artificial Respiration Committee of the Health League of Canada sixteen years ago were that artificial respiration must be eontinued for a minimum of four hours, or until rigor mortis sets in. Attention to these rules may save numerousâ€"lives this summer," Dr. Bates concluded.

William â€" Lyon _ MackenZie was kicked out of the legislâ€" ative assembly of Upper Canâ€" ada five times because of his criticism of the ruling party, and five times he was reâ€"electâ€" ed by his eonstituency, It is interesting to note that the party built up by his grandson, W. L. M. King, is the one that now employs some of the highâ€" handed â€"tactics which Macâ€" kenzie so vigorously opposed. Much earlier than Macâ€" kenzie, John Wilkes, the Engâ€" lish reformer who fought for, among other things, the right to report parliamentary speechâ€" es in the press, was not only expelled from the House but imprisoned for _ his aetions. The list of rebels against & denial of democratic rights is a long one. It is to those men who have the courage to stand up and say, "I will be heardt" that Canadians owe their polâ€" itical freedom.
