It was a time of big adventure for more than a hun- dred first-year, pupils, who today passed from the pre-school category into the world of books, pencils, crayons and some one else’s discipline. It wasn’t -for long but the first severing of the apron strings | came at last and many a mother turned her back on the school and wended her way back home wonder- ing if little Johnny or little Mary would be allright. Let us hope that they will because one of the first things they will have to learn is to make their way safely to and from school for the next 12 years. This year is the important one so far as traffic is concerned. | — It is to. be hoped that parents have impressed . ot tions is one of the first vital lessons they should learn.

When it is foggy or later on in the winter when it gets dark much earlier, they should wear white or light clothing, When it is pouring rain and dark mo- | torists have a difficult time seeing small forms that dart out into the middle of the road or start to cross a crosswalk without warning. — OS . At the same time, motorists should remem- ber at all times now that school is in again and that they too have a responsibility. From now on the speed limit through school zones is 15 miles per hour from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. The RCMP: plans to make sure that drivers adhere to this speed limit. oe Algo to be remembered is the fact that although _ the speed limit for school zones is in effect from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. the park. zone speed limit is also 15 miles per hour and is in effect from dawn to dusk. _ Tf the children iearn their traffic behavior well. and the motorists do their part, the city should be free of tragic occurrences which can be caused by,: both young pedestrians and thoughtless drivers: -“ . Women Dentists Dean Roy G. Ellis of the faculty of. dentistry at the University of Toronto is puzzled by number of young ladies who have an urge to become, dentists, In ull the dental colleges across Canada there aré only 20 female undergraduates among the . 765 students registered. a Dr. Ellis is all the more puzzled because he is confident that the dental profession would warmly welcome more women to its ranks. Doubtless times have changed and Dr., Isllis’ confidence is well founded, but his invitation to the ladies to enter this learned profession still has some charming novelty. " : The University of Manitoba is busy establishing a dental faculty and before long will offer a degree course in dentistry.. Perhaps this may encourage Manitoba girls to become dentists, .

In- deed most impartial observers already say that one of ‘the greatest weaknesses from which the Social Credit government suffers is that its present major- ity is far too big, far too top heavy, far too lopsided, even for its own good. . \ IT seems to me that it would be possible to set forth at least forty or fifty items which clear- ly show how the lack of a good, strong opposition in the Legis- lature has worked to the disad- vantage of alk British Columbia. But one example is enough, for it concerns the bookkeeping of the whole province. The absence of a sufficiently strong opposition in the Legisla- ture has enabled the govern- ment to make one of the silliest and most childish beasts that any government in. all Canada has ewer tried to put over on even the most gullible and ignorant people. ~ . .

But reading as diversion is under heavy competition. Tele- vision has virtually clased many a home library. And. an untold number of youngsters would ve genuinely puzzled by the. sight of their parents settling .down: quietly for.an evening of book- ‘reading. As these youngsters grow into high school and cul- lege, educators are discovering to their increasing dismay that students do not know. how to read.

Perhaps his own head is in the fog. , But if we had a really ade- quate opposition at Victoria it would soon be made erystal clear that the Social Credit govern- ment is guilty of deceptive book- keeping.
