“The newspaper is the national mirror, reflecting what it sees. The editor may well say: ‘If you do not like what you see in the mirror, change your face or change your civilization, do not break the mirror.” , In the first ten months of 1935 there were 12,027 automobile accidents in the province and these were not due to bad roads and lack of experience in the drivers. J. P. Bickell, registrar of motor vehicles, states that “statistics show that the greatest majority of the accidents on Ontario highways occur on excellently paved dry roads with me- chanically perfect cars driven by persons who have had five or more years’ experience.” “The greatest single factor is the driver,” says Mr. Bickell,‘ “and he must be made to realize that the responsibility rests with him.” Inspector Greenwood, in charge of Toronto traffic, beâ€" lieves that the solution for the elimination of the careless or reckless driver is the endorsation of licenses with the record of the driver so that when a magistrate ,went to pass sentence he would know the criminal’s history. “I don’t think,” he said, “that we should hesitate to say crim- inal‘with reference to the driver guilty of breaking traffic laws that are designed to save life and limb.” Raising the speed limit and then enforcing the law was the policy advocated by Judge Uriah McFadden, former- ly of the Sault, inran addres§ to the Kent _Mo’_cor_Club. __ During the years past Richmond Hill Fair has become a very definite part of our community life and its success has been due to the untiring efforts of those who haze guided the affairs of the Society and to the generous public support which it has received. The Fair is an important event in the life of the district and its continued success and expansion should be the concern of all good citizens. The annual meeting is open to all interested enough to pay the annual membership fee of $1.00 and a cordial in- vitation to all interested to attend and take part in the pro- ceedings. The officers of the Society who have given gen- erously of their time and talent in the past invite a full measure of co-operation by the citizens in the affairs of the organization. We firmly trust that a large and repre- sentative attendance at Saturday’s meeting will get the 1936 Richmond Hill Spring Fair away to a good start. Ontario. In the Old Ceuntry the endorsation system. combined with very stiff sentences for “repeaters,” has added greatly to the safety of the roads. ‘ ANNUAL MEETING OF AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY WILL BE HELD SATURDAY The annual meeting of the Richmond Hill Agricultural Society will be held in the Council Chambers, Richmond Hill, Saturday afternoon, at 2 p.m. It is very desirable that this meeting should be largely attended by business men, farmers and representative ‘citizens of the district. An oréenizétion that ivould have A full measure of success must receive loyal coâ€"operation and sympathetic interest and the Richmond Hill Fair is no exception; _ “So far as I know, in the absence of scientists, there are no prosecutions for reasonably exceeding the speed limit. Then why not raise it and enforce it and be honest and above board?” said Judge Uriah McFadden. “Thirty- five miles an hour is not a correct estimate of the usual speed. Why have a law that is almost entirely ignored? Non-enforcement of any law breeds contempt for other laws. Nobody is fooled by the statute,” continued the judge. The people of this district in common with the people of the British Empire and throughout the entire world experienced a sad shock Monday evening as the word flash- ed over the air that the King was dead. His Majesty King George V passed away after a short illness at his Sandring- ham home at 11.55 pm. (6.55 p.m. EST.) and now the whole Empire is in mourning for a beloved monarch who served his people well and whose occupancy of the throne added to the love and respect of the people for that in- stitution. The King died in the twenty-sixth year of his reign which will go down in history as one of the most eventful reigns in the long line of English kings. He will be succeeded on the throne by his eldest son, Edward Prince of Wales, who will rule over the vast Empire as Edward VIII. Calling attention to the high accident toll on the high- ways, 1,108 killed in Canada last year. the judge also sug- gested that automobiles should be built in such a manner that the drivers would not be able to exceed the speed limit which, he said, should be raised to 50 miles per hour. Arthur Brisbane, famous columnist, was asked by the Editor of Cosmopolitan, to tell what interests him most in the world to-day. He answered in one word, “news.” Defining “news” and its importance he states: “One important news item of to-day will be important ten thousand years hence. At the Corning Glass Works, science has cast a telescopic lens, biggest in the world, two hundred inches wide, more than sixteen feet across. This cosmic eye, ground, polished, and mounted, will carry the sight and mind of man one billion two hundred million ‘light years’ into space. _ “News,” he goes on, “is .of four kinds: good news, bad news, important news, interesting news. “Good news in one part of the world may be bad news in another. Crop failure in the Argentine might raise Wheat prices here. News that science had made real gold synthetically, in unlimited quantities, could be good, im- portant. interesting or indifferent new: in various coun- tries.

Hammel of Beeton celebrat- ed his 90th birthday on Dec. 22nd. Mr. Hammel was Conservative mem- ber of Ontario Legislature from 1882 to 1894 for the old riding: of Card- well. {This riding included the town- ship of Albion and Bolton and extend- ed as far north as Allandale). On one occasion, we are told, his election was upset because the hotels in Totâ€" tenham remained open for bnsiness on election day and as a consequence a second election had to be held. Be- fore the general eletztion of 1890, Mr. Hammel did not receive the official conservative nomination which as won at the convention by the late Justice Haughton Lennox, then a Barrie lawyer. Mr. Hammel then ran as an Independent Conservative and was elected. The first regular meeting of the Municipal Council of the Township of King was held at Schomberg at Sut- ton’s Hotel on Monday, Jan. 13th, 1926. at 11 o’clock a.m., 1936.

The western provinces, because of drought, crop failure, their comparative youth, their heavy ex- penditures on capital account, became nractically bankrupt for a While in the depression: they couldn’t meet their bills; they couldn’t borrow from the public, except at extravagant rates of interest; they had reached the limit of taxation. (Will Help Provinces) At the same time the federal govâ€" ernment announced itself prepared to assist provinces materially in getting on top of their own situation. If it would help them to refund their bonds at lower interest rates, and they were prepared to put up certain security, then the-Dominion was ready to place its guarantee behind their refunding operations. This might mean that six per cent provincial bond issues might then be refunded for fOur, or for three and a half, at the current market. Such a saving would repre- sent, if it could be applied to the issues generally sufficient saving to take most provinces out of the red. . Meantime, until the machinery for" the council is ready, a hand to mouth policy/ is being adopted. Alberta needed $2,000.000 two days after the: conference of provincial and federali authorities. Alberta, represented by Premier William Aberhart, was not prepared to surrender any provincial rights to get the $2,000,000, either. Hon Charles Dunning could have said: “No agreement, no money.” And Mr. Aberhart could have stood firm and repudiated. The federal authorities' yielded, for the once, and Mr. Aberâ€"l hart got the moneyâ€"of the best parti of itâ€"from Ottawa. But on April 1st, when Alberta wants another $3,- 200.000, it will be another story. So they say. (‘Timing’ Loan Issues Properly) ‘ The provinces and the Dominion also agreed to set up a National Finance Council to coordinate loan issues in a scientific manner, so that they are not dumped on the market without any thought as to the effect of timing. Also it was agreed to sort out the several taxation fields, and give the provinces a clearer right to certain sources of revenue. If ar- rangements can be made the federal government agrees to use its incomeâ€" tax collecting machinery for provin- cial levies. All in all, it was a fruit- ful conference, with farâ€"reaching re- sults. The very next day the price of provincial bonds began to rise. and it may be that because of the assur‘ ance that a province can get the Doâ€" minion behind it, in case of a jam, most of the provinces may be able to take care of their own maturing loans.

We can held by not making extra demands on these children; we can encourage activities which do not run :on to late hours and suggest the de- sirability of parties on the evenings before days when there is no school .or work; e can encourage early bed itime and outdoor activities, while dis- écouraging any ideas of dieting. The Supreme Court is well nigh buried under profound legal argument over the validity of recent legislation. The automobile hearing at the Tariff French member from Montreal will second the motion. LATE TEENS There is a health problem of the late “teen” age group which calls for the attention of everyone. It is a period when the child has quite rightly assumed a great deal of in- dependence so that careful guidance rather than restraint is called for from those who seek to help the 15 to 19 year old girl or boy. The health problem we have in mind is the undue prevalence of tuberculosis at this age period, and our comparative failure to bring about as great a reduction for the members of the group as has been attained for other ages. Seeking for the cause it is ob- served that high school, or the en- trance into business, places an ad- ditional heavy load upon the child who is passing through a period of rapid growth, which, while normal, child will not be fatigued by them, and that they will not absorb time which would be better spent in out- door play or at rest.
