These accidents have cost 2,495 lives, injury to 41,983 persons and property damage of $4,846,757 a very heavy toll to pay for the use of motor cars, despite the added pleasure they have brought to many. 7 ‘ ‘ ' ‘ w 7 J- ------ Annn l’n‘vrlah n‘F o‘nilf That is a point that is worth bearing in mind. In some states of the United States it is now compulsory under the law for pedestrians to walk on the left side of rural roads, and the principle seems a sound one, especially at night. A rural mail carrier’s life has not been a happy one during the last three or four weeks, but the box-owners along the routes could reduce the hardships of the mail men by clearing the snow from the boxes. ‘ ,,A _ 21- 1.- 1A,.-¢A~ mvxl NJ w c, v. v ha--. Rural mail men are expected to place the mails in boxes provided for the purpos‘e,‘they are not expected to dig down through snow drifts to find these boxesâ€"though some of them have done so several times during the recent storms. Owners of rural-mail boxes could help carriers imâ€" mensely if they would at least see that the boxes are acces- sible. Luau. We have never read the Departmental instructions to rural-mail carriers, but there is not much likelihood they contain any orders about digging down through drifts to locate the mail boxes, though they are on posts. Box own- ers might give the carriers a helping hand in this direction. â€"Goderich Star. Country correspondence is sometimes passed over lightly by those not interested in itâ€"more often than not with a wisecrack as to lack of importance. Yet many read- ers look for the “News from the Corners” the first thing when they open the paperâ€"not the war news from the Ethiopian front, or the world series baseballâ€"but the little homely jottings about the real folk they know intimately, even to the astonishing intelligence of Mr. and Mrs. William Brown Sundayed with Mr. and Mrs. John Smith. And that brings us back once again to mention Mrs. Elizabeth Ma- hakey of Oasis, Missouri, who won first prize as best coun- trylcorrespondent in the United States. This lady lives in a village of twenty-seven persons, the only news correspon- dent there. Her prize included a trip to New York where she was greeted and feted by the big shots of the news- paper game and accorded every honor that the newspaper- World is capable of providing. She also won fifty dollars in- cash and a silver trophy and it is interesting to note that she won it against 1,500 other contestants* 5k 5k * * :x =l= * 1 ‘ THE MIDDLE CLASS SUFFERS -There is in Canada the great middle class on Whom the safety, the solidity and the future of the nation depends. On this class the great burden of taxes is falling, and will continue to fall in increasing weight, on the men and women who are trying to earn a fair and decent living, to maintain a home and raise a family. Unbearable taxes, a division of Wealth through socialism or any other program means a destruction of this middle class. We have only to look to Russia Where this class has been destroyed, and see a country of master and slave. We do not want the same thing to happen in Canada.â€"List0wel Banner. ‘ as [11’ as occu1 sible f0 cils.

The Children’s Aid Board of probably fifteen members all serve without any remuneration, and even pay their own travell'ng‘ expenses, and for the county to send in their repres ntatives at such lucrative fees is certainly some- thing that will not go down with the public or the members of the Aid very well. The County Council condemned the Children’s Aid for their alleged extravagance, and rightly so, but the sort of example set by the council is to say the least not very commendable.â€"Stouffville Tribune. HOW THE LIBRARY HELPS YOUR TOWN Completes its educational equipment, carrying on and giving permanent value to the work of the schools. Gives the children of all classes a chance to know and love the best in literature. Without a public library such a chance is limited to the very few.

Through the library every reader in the town can secure at a given cost from 100 to 1,000 times the material for reading or study that he could secure by acting individ- ually. Advertising 'Adds to the material value of property. Appealing to all classes, sects and degrees of intelâ€" ligence, it is a strong unifying factor in the life of a town.

Miss Muriel Kyle read the lesson. Miss Jean Hedwin read a poem “Eventide.” The speaker of the evening- was William Peterm‘an whose evening- was wunam reLerm-an wuuae talk was much enjoyed. The week previous Howard Heacock’s Ever Readys‘ had 18 members and Bob Watson’s Excelsiorsr 12. This week they seemed fairly evenly divided. Mrs‘. W.

Misses Marion and Muriel Kyle were home for the week-end. Mr. and Mrs‘. Roy Wilson, Mr. J.

Mr. Howard Jackson is recovering from an accident when he cut his foot while chopping. Shrove Tuesday was observed by the Women’s Assoc-nation here when the Society held a pancake social and despite the weather conditions there was a fine attendance. Following the serving of pancakes and other good things a sing-song followed with Rev. Davis at the piano, and a program of games.

Maternity is a public health re- sponsibility only in a limited way. The public health organization, whe- ther it be official or voluntary, can do very little except in‘ coâ€"operating with the doctor who has charge of the case. Indeed, the real purpose of the public health organization is to bring the patient and the doctor together. It is well to recognize maternity as a. medical problem. No amount of written or verbal advice, or of nurs- ing“ care, can replace the medical ex- aminations and supervision. Without these procedures, the life and health of the mother cannot be safeguarded. The problem is not entirely medical because on a moment’s thought, it will be obvious that social conditions play a. dominant role. The underfed, over- fatigued mother, living under insaniâ€" tary conditions, is far more a social problem than a medical one.

AND SO IT GOES When comes around this time of year, I feel that spring is getting near, it’s Nature’s yearly trick; gets lighter in the morning now} when I go out to milk the cow, and don’t get dark as quick. I gaze upon my stack of wood, and feel it’s holding out quite good, may even see me through; I'll see a robin any day, and it will be red-dressed and gay, the first one of its crew. I read what weather prophets say, look for their message evei'y day, I am a hopeful bloke; I joy to find some hopeful sign, or that we’re close upon the time, when winter’s back is broke. Quite soon I’ll hear the croaking frog, and so I thumb the catalogue note beans upon a pole; I’ll grow a squash, ’twill be so big, you couldn’t put it in a gig, nor in a deep-dug hole. I’ll g‘et a hook, a piece of string, and I’ll go fishing in the spring, I’ll sit pon the bank; I’ll polish up my tan sedan, it’s good enough for any man, I'll put gas in the tank. And thus I think of days of spring 5nd feel as glad as‘ anything: I hum a merry tune; but then I read old Probs to-day, and notice that he has to sayâ€"it will turn colder soon.
