Insurance Magazine Offers Suggestions For Safer Driving “What are we going to do about the terrific loss of life and mil- lions of dollars of property dam- age caused by automobile acci- dents in Canada and the United States?” asks an ai le in June issue of “Service and In- demnity” pubjished in the jin- terests of insurance companies across the continent. The article goes on to say that in 1951 alone, over $100,000,000 in losses through liability coverages was sustained by the companies, but the public is quite unconcern- ed. However, the arictle shows its not just the insurance companies worry sas such losses cannot go on indefinitely. The companies will either have to raise the rates to where they can at least break ing a ton and a half, capable of going 60 or 70 m.p.h., allow him out on a crowded highway or street and let him go to it.” “It doesn’t make sense.” Some suggestions are offered to help save lives and property.

There would be a tre- mendous curtailment of driving with resultant chaos or near chaos. “Speed is the biggest cause of fatal accidents,” the article de-| clares. “Speed with more power- ful cars and many more of them on the roads, more young people driving them.” “If governors were put on all cars, if there were road blocks every few miles, if the speed limits were reduced and the laws strictly enforced there would be a howl from the millions af drivers. We would cry out that we are losing our personal li- berty. Nearly 40,000 people a year are killed and millions injured but we do little about it. And yet some poor chap who has a drink or two too -many and without knowing what he is doing shoots a policeman, is proseucted to the fullest extent.” “We spend billions to, prevent wars that have caused fewer deaths and injuries than have motor vehicles and we train men for months in handling a weapon safely.

Order Through THE CASTLE NEWS MITCHELL STARS Continued from Page 1 The Cubs put the game away in the fifth, with one man away. Bishop singled, Hamilton flied out to second base, Horkoff sing- led and then Wanless also sing- led to score Bishop. Scoring end- ed with Mitchell’s single which brought in Horkoff. Pontiacs Best Cubs In Close 3-1 Tilt Those pesky Pontiacs once again proved to much for the lo- cal Cubs last Friday evening when the Trail nine came up with two runs in the seventh frame to win a close 3 to 1 ball game. . Elsio Vannelli went all the way for the Pontiacs, giving up only two hits, a single to Hamilton in the third which brought in Parker for the Cubs’ lone run and a single to Mitchell in the fourth. Meanwhile the Pontiacs collect- ed eight hits off the offerings of] Reed Hicken, Vannelli struck out nine and walked two, Hicken struck out seven and walked two. The Pontiacs scored one run in the sixth on two hits and then won the game in the eighth when Buna walked, went to second on a put-out at first and came home on a double by Mondin who scored later on Cavanaugh’s single. i Page 5 Woodrow Hits 4-Run Homer To Give Kats Victory Aided by the booming bat of Lil Woodrow and the four hit pitching of Anne Kastrukoff the Castlegar Kats downed the Sun- ningdale girls 8 to 4 Tuesday evening at Sunningdale. The Kats got off to a two run lead in the first frame when ” | Woodrow trippled and scored on Saunders’ double. Soon after, Sunningadle catcher _ Begley, threw the ball into left field try- ing for a force-out at third and Saunders scored. The second inning saw the Sun- ningdale team come back with three runs on a single by Bishop, a centre-field homer by Primeau and a wild throw to home by Saunders. Sunningdale gained only one other run in the bottom of the fifth when Grands scored on two errors and a fielder’s choice. The fifth frame was the de- Ancient pastime. Dice-playing has been traced back almost to the beginning of history and there were sharpies even in that era because loaded dice have been unearthed in the ruins of Pom- peti. Total circulation for the first half of this year for the Castle- gar Public Library was 6036 or an average of 1006 per month. This was disclosed at a meeting of the Library Board at the Li- brary'on Tuesday evening. A new shipment of books was checked and placed on the shel- ves and a considerable purchase of children’s books decided upon. Funds for this purchase will come from a $250 cheque which secretary-treasurer Walter Mar- kin reported receipt of and from a similar sum to be donated by the village commission. Subscrip- a library book purchasing club, are to be renewed. _ The summer schedule of hours, ie. Tuesday evenings from 7 to 9 will continue until the first week of September. Present at the meeting were J. A. Charters, chairman; W. Markin, secretary treasurer; and Mrs. A. Hopland and Miss. A. Bloomer, librarians. The following day, the library was insured for $7,000 with spe- cial adjustments for the next three years growth, at notable reductions in premiums. The pre- mium reduction is thought to be due, in part at least to the im- ciding one. Kastrukoff was safe on an error, Martini singled, and Miros singled to load the bases. Lil Woodrow then stepped to the plate and belted a tremendous drive down the left-field line for a home run, scoring all three runners ahead of her, and salt- ing the game away for the Kats. Anne Kastrukoff struck out four and walked two in chalking up her fourth win of the season. The Kats collected nine hits and four walks from the combined pitching of Hazen and Hanis. Tonight the Kats are scheduled to meet Fidelity Life here in Castlegar. A victory tonight would give the locals a first place tie in league standings.
