w In the meantime efforts are being directed towards providing safeguards at unprotected crossings, including the erection of gateg, the automatic ringing of bells and the blinking of lights, Althoughk general enforcement of it would be‘ difficult, the fullâ€"stopâ€"law would no doubt assist in reducing the number of acciâ€" dents. Several stdtes in the neighboring Reâ€" public have such a law in Iorgu and others are m.eun‘u It is urged that it promotes the exercise of care in those. automobile drivers who are careless or reckless of danger. There should be no slackening of effort to cope with the level crossing danger which is a real orfe as evidenced by the growing number While much is being done to eliminate the level crossing many municipalities, alâ€" though favorable to taking action, are deterred by the excessive cost of doing so. For instance in the city of Kitchener the cost of eliminzcting the level crossings would entail the expendiâ€" ture of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Ultiâ€" mately, however, if is likely the work will be embarked upon, both the railways and the municipality sharing the cost. of fatal accidents which occur daily on city That its growth has been astonishingly rapid is convincingly evident in the figures preâ€" sented.as to its progress. The company now has thirty millions of Life Insurance in force and assets of over two millions while its 250 agents operate from. twentyâ€"five Branch Offices located in the principal centres of Canâ€" ada, Newfoundland and,British West Indies. _The Ontario Equitable is to be heartily congratulated on the achievements of the past five years which have been of such an outâ€" standing character. The daily record of accidents, a large number of which have been taking a heavy toll of human life, is directing special attenâ€" tion to the menace of the level crossing. The memberâ€"elect, during the period in which he has served the constituency of North Watâ€" erloo in the Dominion House, hasg shown himâ€" self to be an alert and able representative. He has been watchful of the interests of the ridâ€" ing and general approval of his cou{se in Parâ€" liament is evidenced by his reâ€"election by an increased majority. Mr. Euler has been promâ€" inent in the Federal House and recognition of his ability is to be seen in his suggested apâ€" poiniment as Minister of Railways if Premier King remains in office pending another genâ€" eral election next year. * Waterloo‘s youngest life insurance comâ€" pany, The Ontario Equitable, which celebrates its fifth anniversary this moath, can look back with justifiable pride on its unprecedented record of achievement during the short period in which it has been in existence. As the president and managing director, Mr. Tweed, points out in a letter to the policyholders, it is a record which has never been equalled by any other Canadian Life Insurance Company. The splendid attainmenis of the Ontario Equitable and the high standing which the Company has achieved among Canadian Life Insurance Companies, under the leadership of its capable and energetic president and managing director, Mr. S. C. Tweed, should be a source of keen safisfaction to the officials and policyholders of the Company, as well as to the citizens of this community which is the horhe of so many widely known companies of high prestige.

Premier King of course could only count on a majority with the help of_the Progressive, Labor and Independent members. If the Govâ€" ernment continues in office there is likely to be little beyond necessary appropriations and essential legislation passed. In any event the next session is likely to be of short duration owing to the inconclusive result of the election. Both parties made inroads on the Proâ€" gressives who elected 23 members as compared with 65 in the last House, a reduction of nearly twoâ€"thirds. In Ontario they have elected only two representatives and also lost heavily ir every Western province. / *_ The results of the election indicated a conâ€" siderable change in sentiment towards the government and its policies but unfortunately the verdict has not been a decisive one. . As is usual about half the electors did not go tn‘ the polls through indifference or othel: reasons. This has given rise to the suggestion that it would be a good thing if voting were made compulsory. This would appear to be a radical procedure although such a law, we beâ€" lieve, is to be enforced in some countries. With the election returns practically comâ€" plete the results indicate that although the Consérvative party has made sweeping gains in some of the provinces and elected the largâ€" est group, it has failed to secure a clear majorâ€" ity. In view of this it is likely that Mr. King will not Fesign before meeting parliament. If he is supported in parliament, he will, it is stated, continue in office, at any rate for the time being. If the House votes against him his resignation ~would necessarily follow and Rt. i1on. Arthur Meighen, the Conservative leader, would be called upon to form an adâ€" reinistration. It is not likely, however, that Mr. King would continus in office long without anotner appeal to the country." The outcome of the Dominion election has resulted in a marked change in the gtandâ€" ing of the parties, the Conservative party now having the largest group. Exclusive of three constituencies where the returns are incomâ€" plete, the standing shows the election of 116 Conservatives, 100 Liberals, 23 Progressives, 2 Laborites and 1 Independent. The Conserâ€" vativeâ€" party captured 69 seats in Ontario, 22 of the 29 in the Maritime Provinces, elected about a dozen of the 54 members from the Prairie Provinces, and captured 10 ridings in British Columbia. The Liberals on the other hand returned an almost solid Quebec with 60 out of 65 seats and elected fifteen members in Saskatthewan but only returned 11 members in Ontario and small groups in the Maritimé Provinces. * municipalities rolled. up large "ma the victorious candidate ensuring | &evhtwiqmmmrhchhm wwethomglnefioumeur.mnpttmb- stantial majorities.
