And often you wonder who takes over the British scenie. Strangely enough, birds and politicians have soi-ne coin- mon interests - like choosing the sanie public squares and city parks. They also, tend to migrate towards subway stations, bus depots, better known restaurants and ýsoap box institutions. By now, 1 guess, you've caughit on to my fancy. l'ni not talking about the birds you feed in Trafalgar Square or at the Speaker's Corner in Hyde Park. Needless to say, I'm referring to London dollies who have been epitomized for vears as The Birds of London. SThese young ladies possess somne similarities to the real birds - at least character wise. Thiere is that certain bird like freedom and the ability to move gracefully fromn place to place. As a bird-watcher arourfd the world, 1nust say London is THE PLACE for both birds and the bird-watchers. And it won't cost you a penny to join the growing army of London bird-watchers. The name of the game is: look but don't touchi. British birds are often fragile-like a Japanese flower. During my visit here, 1 have learned a few things about London dollies. They look great frorn a distance. But .they are spiendiforous at a close-up range. And miost of them know where Canada is. Can you ask for anything more? Not really. However, may 1 suggest that bird-watching in London Town takes time and a bit of effort. Be prepared to walk miles and miles before you qualify yourself as a bona fide bîrd-watcher. And bring your camnera along. Otherwise the skeptics at home will try to crush your ego. Trucks No Longer Have To ShowNaUme Transportation and Com- munications Minister Johin R.

Tractor roil-overs can be avoided with careful driving. Prevent Farm Injuries Wear Protective Gear Farming is a physically hlazardous occupation these days. The farmer operates complicated mnachinery, han- dels livestock and heavy sup- plies and potent chernicals. He is subjected to dust, heat, cold, ramn, snow and sun. Aithougli basically a business man lie must also be a mech- anic, a trou ble-shooter, a car- penter, and a handyman. In no other occupation is one person faccd with such a variety of hazards which ex- plains, in part, why farming is the nation's third most dangerous industry. Other industries have long used personal protective equ- ipment ho ininimize worker injulries. Many farni injuries could bc prevented or re- duced iin severity by the use of this equipment. Hard hiats, salèty boots, hieavy duty glo- ves, chernical or petroleumn resistant gloves, respirators, dust masks, rnono-goggles, chiipper goggles, welder's hel- mets and face shields are some of the items which farmers should consider as essential to their personal safety. Personal protective equip- ment is meant to be used only when it is impossible or impracticable to eliminate a hazard. Wearing this equip- ment tends to prevent injury but the hazard remains a potential danger. It is better to remiove a hazard thian te try to safeguard against it by means of special clothiing or equ ipmen t. Both seeding and'harvest mean in- creased road travel by tractors. Opera tors shiould display the triangular slow-moving vehiicle sign, pull over to allow traffic to pass. and show re- quired liglits after dark. COMPLIMENTS 0F R eLflG2PUEN 300 Hopkins St. Whitby Long htours of work are expected on the farm . . . and most farm accidents occur late in the day when the farmer is fatigued. Take regular rest breaks, relax and eat meals at regular times.
