RUSSELL BROS., DUNDALK D. McKlLLOP, FLESHERTON ONTARIO A Message from the Premier on the subject of Highways and Highway Safety Prcbabiy no single development in the history of our province has had more widespread influence upon the lives and habits of our citizens than the automobile. Ontario was one of the first provinces to recognize the importance of this modern means of transportation, and first, also to adopt .1 progres- sive policy of road building and road maintenance. Today, of Ontario's 72,000 miles of roads, more than 38,000 miles arc improved gravel, 7,000 miles are paved, and 09 per cent of ail roads are surfaced. These roads .ire not only a remarkable convenience, but, as well, they are a responsibility. The seriousness of the responsibility is evidenced by the fact time in Ontario last year, 52-f persons lost their lives through automobile accidents. All available statistics would seem to indicate that most of r.liezc accidents were avoidable and were caused by either thoughtlessness or wilful violations of the common-sense rules of the ro.-.d. The Ontario Department of Highways is about to publish in the press of Ontario, a scries of educational advertisements, in which an effort will be made '-o keep drivers and pedestrians .ilihe, alive to the necessity for the continuous exercise of care, courtesy and common-sense in the use of our highways. Suggestions made in these announcements will be, in effect, a digest of all the information gathered from every section of the world which has been found to be of assistance to drivers and pedestrians in avoiding highway accidents and making these same high- ways of inestimably greater value and benefit to every citizen. The first of the announcements referred to will be published at an early date. Your attention is invited thereto, and your co-operation in making our streets and highways safe is earnestly solicited.

Letter to The Advance WHAT ARE CHURCH BELLS FOR For over half a century the citizens of Priceville and the people in a radius of four miles have enjoyed hearing the fine tones of the bell now in St. Columba's steeple, but for some timo past we wondered what was the "Bat- ter with this bell, for we could not hear it ring even a short distance 1 from the village. We enquired of several persons, and at last understood that a "modern architect" conceived the idea of hoarding up securely th-j windows and apertures in belfrey ''ml steeple in order to prevent owls, bats. sparrows, tree toads black spidders, etc.. from congregating in and making that lofty auditorium a club room and sleeping quarters thus de-filing the sacred edifice. Would not a wire screen of medium texture keep out all noxious intruders, and at the same time allow the sound waves from this lovely bell to waft over the vicinity as of yore? Antics like the above are apt to give the pub- lic a fear that someone is wandering too near the "bug house gate". If a light is placed under a bushel it is rendered useless; also a church bell muffled in a box is af no benefit. \V> imagine the care- taker, when he pulls th,. rope, knows full well that "the bell shall not ring to-day 1 '.
