YONGE STREET WIDENING The Yonge Street widening project has been brought) to the fore by a resolution of County Council asking that this long delayed improvement be proceeded with at once. With this resolution we heartily agree and the need 0'! abolishing the bottle-neck on Yonge Street is very evident to anyone who uses this highway. As we have pointed out before in these columns the delay in starting this much needed improvement is the uncertainty which exists conâ€" cerning the future of the North Yonge radials. Somehow the impression is abroad that the people of the North Yonge Street district want to substitute a bus service direct to down-town Toronto for the present street car service to the city limits. Whether or not this is true remains for the people to say either by a vote of the people or by their elected representatives who are sup- posed to constitute the Commission. A definite state- ment from the Yonge Street radial commission which is made up of the Reeves of the four participating munici- palities is necessary before any real progress can be made on the Yonge Street widening proposal. We are satisfied that the result of such a definite statement would be quick- ly followed by action to improve traffic conditions on Yonge Street. If the members of the commission are not prepared to make such a definite statement of policy they. should at once take a vote of the electors in the trans- portation area. $*******# THE NEW TRADE TREATY The signing of the new trade treaties at Washington by Canada, the United States and Great Britain probably marks the beginning of a new epoch in the trade rela- tions of the English speaking demoeracies. The treaties have been exceptionally well received by the Canadian people and the accomplishment has been a real achieve- ment for Rt. Hon. W. L. Mackenzie King. Canada’s Prime Minister who had so much to do with the framing of the pact bringing together in friendlier trade relations the great English democracies. The negotiations. which have covered the greater part of a year have been intricate and complex. but hope is felt that the two treaties signed will not only greatly ex- tend and facilitate trade between Canada and the United States and United States and Great Britain. but that they will prove a major and effective attack on trade restric- tions throughout the world. The treaties themselves di- rectly affect over one-third of the international commerce of the world. The principles kept in mind during the intricate ne- gotiations of the two treaties have been the extent to which the exporting country is the main or potentially the main source of supply of commodities affected. the interests of businesses affected, the broad interest of con- sumers, and the retention subject to defined alterations of the British preferential agreements. The two inter- related agreements are a great experiment in dredging the channels of trade between the great English speak- ing democracies. “The friendly association of the great English speaking nations” has been heralded as raising the hope that a “new vitality has been given to the basic principles of a civilized world order.” =5$$>l<=Â¥=fia<$x A COLD WINTER? Everyone likes talking about the weather, teresting to note that the Kama Indians are for a cold winter with lots of snow. The Indians are relying for their weather informa- tion on one of the senior members of the tribe, David Simcoe, who has a reputation of long standing among his people as a prophet of accuracy. They claim that he has been making annual forecasts (A cry fall for years and that he has never been known to have been wrong, which, if true, would give his predictions a better rating than those of white men’s scientific bureaus. The fact that the aged Indian depends entirely on nature for his unusually accurate predictions should per- haps be a hint to our own weather prophets not to over- look taking these signs into consideration in making their own forecasts. The muskrat in choosing whether to build his home in deep or shallow water or the” squirrel in de- ciding whether he should put in an ordinary or extra large supplies of stores may sometimes be wrong in their fore- cast of the weather, but it is likely that they are about as reliable as most signs which give information about weather so far ahead. ‘ At any rate, Simcoe’s annual predictions from these sources are always of considerable interest, not only in his home reservation but among white folks who have heard of his reputation, and this year is no exception. Newspaper despatches which have been given province- wide circulation have so it is inâ€" preparlng told of the Indian’s cold weather forecast and his prognostication has been the topic of editorial comment in many newspapers. * * * II: I! * 9! * * THE NEW CAR MARKERS The 1939 motor licenses went on sale November lst, but as yet there is no apparent great rush by motorists to purchase them since the 1938 markers may be used until the end of March next. The new markers with white numerals and letters on a jet black background are re- ceiving favorable mention for their distinctiveness. This is in direct contrast to the storm of protest which greeted the issuance of the 1938 license plates, over which the govâ€" ernment was forced to bear much criticism for its refusal to recall them. Motorists who purchase the new markers are warnâ€" ed by the Department officials to destroy the older ones as to leave them lying around is to court trouble. Owing to the 1938 plates being valid until March 31st, they would still be of use to anyone picking them up. It can be read- ily understood the inconvenience one might suffer if a car bearing license plates issued in his name were involved in a serious accident. It will pay motorists to make sure their old markers are destroyed. =5 * a: * as a: at * * The name of Jehovah and the names of all prophets of the Old Testament have been ordered erased from Pro- testant churches throughout Germany. Though the misâ€" guided people of that country thus trample upon religion and the moral and spiritual life associated with it. they will find to their sorrow that the eternal laws of justice and right will yet prevail. _ _____..â€"â€"â€"â€"_ -cil hereby grant the request of the .for professional services to one Mrs. THE LIBERAL.
