Dangerous Cycling

From the fire department comes a warning to children on
bicycles on the dangers of racing after the fire truck. When
the fire siren sounds these youngsters place themselves in
danger twice. They ‘st race for the firehall, just as the fire-
men are driving up from all directions to answer the call, then
when the big red machine pulls out on the street the.cavaleade
of bikes follows after.

Monday night the truck rolled along Oliver Street during
fire practise and behind it were the cyclists, some of them on
the right side of the street, some in the centre and several close
to the curb on the wrong side. All of them were-a menace to
their own safety and to other street traffic.

The fire department knows that it would be impossible to
prohibit the practise, since following fire trucks is a pastime:
none of us seem to outgrow. However, parents could help a
lot by laying down the law on the use of bicycles for the chase
It would be tragic indeed if the warnings waited until a child’s
death had to be used as an example.

Such A Business

“ Dear Reader: We know you ali have worries, whatever
your occupation. The price of beef is going down, or the lumber
" market is shaky. Retail prices have slumped and you’re caugiit
with your shelves full, or the boss has just informed you that
your services are no longer required. Yep -- you’ve all got
worries, but on this balmy Tuesday afternoon as these line are
being written, we’re inclined to think that anyone outside of
the publishing business ‘‘never had it so good,” to use the
vernacular.

This morning we were rolling along in fair style, with a
man and a half short (the half referring to an apprentice).
In fact we were feeling lazy enough to write the few lines that
appear on page three, under the head “Who Cares - It’s Spring.”
And that’s an indication of how the rest of the day has gone.
Those lines are not supposed to be on page three, they are
supposed to be in these editorial columns. Just a littde matter
of omitting to mark the copy paper for the Linotype operator.

We received word that a new automatic press we are
installing had arrived at the PGE’s local base of operations, a
cause for much dashing to and fro to arrange for the safe
transport @f 3500 pounds of uncooperative machinery from a
boxcar tojhe fidor of our back shop.¥Then several job printing
customers}
morrow they should have ordered two weeks ago. The tempo
around the office is reaching a new high in confusion when
the call comes from the back shop for editorial copy and we
discover that it has all been set as news copy. Same mistake
as mentioned previously except that some of it had only gone
as far as being set and had not been committed to paper as
that little item on page three.

Someone is sure to come in during the next few minutes
to remind us that there are two other meetings on tonight
besides the one we already know about, and now have to pass
up because of said press. It’s a busy life, if not a wonderful one,

Pocket books, which embrace the
type of ‘lurid fiction into which a

Senate committee is currently in-
quiring, do n6t have jackets, but this
asset is merely transferred, net

overlooked. The book cover itself is
illustrated as an enticement, and
often in provocative fashion. Indeed
the cover is sometimes the piece do
resistance; certainly it is spiced fre-
quently enough to the point of in-
decency.

One such instance came to the for
this week when a Canadian publi
er of pocket books sought to persuade
the Senate committee to ban the pub-

lication of such books from imported
U.S. plates. He claimed this would!
cut out some 90 per cent of the ob-
jectional material on newsstands,
the handiest and biggest market for
reading matter of this kind. Where-
upon a Senator handed him a copy of
one of his own books which bore a

cover illustration the publisher
P ls

agreed was not suitable for teen-

agers.
The excuse he put forward was
that competition from across the line
had to be met, and that “a cover does
a lot to sell a book.” Well, there is a
simple way to cure at least this as-
pect of salacious literature, and with=
out odious censorship. Put a ban on
lurid or suggestive covers by making
it mandatory that they be plain and
unadorned. This might go far to curb
the sale of many books that would
be better left unprinted, and thus
ameliorate a situation that is cause
considerable unease.
