Its author is a Mr. S. H. Wood, who retired from the Bri- tish Ministry of Education following the defeat of the Labour Gov- ‘ernment last autumn. ip ‘ —_ Published by an organization bearing the alluring name of the National Association of Girls’ and Mixed Clubs, Mr. Wood’s pamph- let is.a‘veritable adventure in the art of speech-making. On how to prepare a speech, how to use notes, what pockets (presumably one’s own) it is permissible to put hands in, how to be concise, and how to manage voice and govern gestures, the author provides ade- quate answers. It is particularly refreshing to find Mr. Wood denouncing in no uncertain terms the distracting practice so dear to many of “taking spectacles off and putting them on while declaiming, without much reference to the purpose for which these aids to sight were devised. An odd thing is Mr. Wood’s‘failure to mention that it is useful, when speaking in public, to have something to say.” — “The Printed Word.” How Are Your Driving Manners? Every motorist, from the first time he sits behind the steering wheel and lets out the clutch until he hears the car door click shut behind him for the last time, is bombarded with one admonition: “Drive Carefully!” J We have seen that this admonition — or rather the practice of it — is most esssential if the appalling traffic accident rate is to ‘be reduced. ‘ What is meant by driving carefully? It boils down to observance of good driving manners. It means being as courteous on the high- way as at home. The highway and traffic regulations are the rules of good driving etiquette. Observing these rules is good driving amanners and driving carefully. As motorists, it is our duty and responsibility to know these rules and practice them: _ 1. Don’t be a road-hog! Keep to the right side of the road and leave room for the other fellow. - 2. Don’t be a speed artist! The speed fiend can etch more des- truction in five seconds than Rembrandt or Durer could depict in five years. t 3. Observe traffic signals. They are not placed there to add to the local color of the town. 4. Don’t bully the .pedestrian. He has rights too and blasting him out of his wits and into your path with your horn can make your Playful “toot” turn into tragedy.

COMMISSIONERS OKAY WINTERIZATION OF VILLAGE OFFICE A sharp plea for some improve- ment in heating and ventilation of the village office was made at the commissioners’ meeting Mon- day night by Village Clerk A, T.
