Advertising copy effice not ister than Monday moon to | The move which is in accordance with an agreement reached between the two municiâ€" palities, is a logical one and simplifies matters for property owners. It will also encourage the further development of this section which is being ‘undertaken. ~~~â€" The arrangement entered into again illusâ€" trates the value and desirability of coâ€"operation between these municipalities. The protection of the kiddies in view of the heavy motor traffic on our public highways is receiving increasing attention as is evidenced by the formation of the "Just Kids" Safety Club in which are enrolled tens of thousands of school children who undertake to exercise special care before crossing the street. _‘ Following up this precaution it is being urged as a safeguard to country children who have to traverse the highways on their way to school in the rural districts, that footpaths be constructed for a reasonable distance from the schools for their use so that they will not have to use the, highways. It is pointed out that no matter how careful they may be they are liable to be struck by a careless motorist and injured if they traverse the highways. The kiddies as well as pedestrians generalâ€" ly are entitled to consideration in the construcâ€" tion of highways and there is a growing sentiment in favor of providing footpaths esâ€" pecially along those on which the traffic is unâ€" usually heavy. The matter is one which should receive the early attention of the Highways Department and the Government. In order to impress upon citizens the deâ€" sirability of having municipal parks appear at their best quite a number of towns in the neighboring Republic have adopted a new wordâ€" ing for an old appeal. Instead of erecting signs which read "Keep off the grass" these progresâ€" sive communities have them read "Citizens, take care of your property". It has been found that this makes a particular appeal to a citizen because it is a reminder that the park belongs to him in common with other citizens. As one publication points out, his patriotic pride is thus awakened, his personal interest is accelerâ€" ated and he no longer growls about that part of his tax which goes to the proper care of parks." This is the sort of an appeal which oftenâ€" times is moreâ€"likely to be heeded than a bare injunction to "keep off the grass". When it comes to protecting one‘s own property the citizen who is inclined to disregard such a notice will hesitate to do so, when he realizes that he is part owner of the property. The change is a move in the right direction. ~ The Royal Architectural Institute of Canâ€" ada recently interviewed the Federal Governâ€" ment to urge the employment of Canadian architects on Canadian buildings. It is pointed out that thef! would not have to leave Canada because they cannot get work in their own country if those planning buildings would enâ€" gage their services. There is obviously too much tendency to employ the services of outâ€" side architects on many structures. Canadian architects and engineers should, as far as possible, be employed on Canadian buildings if the country is to retain its promising young men in this field. 3k 6 The destructiveness of insect pests causes an annval loss to Canada of $125,000,000. Unâ€" ceasing war must be waged against them if they are to be kept in check and they constitute one of Canada‘s greatest agricultural problems. PROTECTING ONE‘S OWN PROPERTY WILL RECUTIFY SITUATION SHOULD BE GIVEN PREFERENCE FOOTPATHS FOR CHILDREN ALONG HIGHWAYS Thureday by David Bean and Sone, Ltd.| * _ MOTHER‘S DAY to insure insertion. $126 No matter what the rewards of the agriâ€" culturist, and it is generally acknowledged that they have, on the whole, been inadequate as compared with those received in other indusâ€" tries, there will doubtless always be more or less of an exodus from the.farm as young people are attracted to the large centres which naturally offer opportunities with greater reâ€" wards, in various directions, not available to those living on the farms. And this exodus is not without its advantages to the country at large. ?nny a successful léader in the indusâ€" trial and business world spent his boyhood days and early manhood on the farm, developing roâ€" bust health from life in the open whith has stood him in good stead in later years and enâ€" abled him to serve his fellows with greater efficiency. 4 At the same time efforts should be conâ€" tinued towards making the farm as attractive as possible, both from a monetary and social standpoint since it is vitally necessary that a certain percentage of the best type of young people remain on the land if agriculture is to be maintained at a high and prosperous,level. Successful farming requires the same skill, foresight arid intelligent planning, if it is to provye remunerative, as any other industry. * It is encouraging to note that efforts to keep the young people on the farms are being made by the employment of labor saving deâ€" vices made possible through the development of electricity, the providing of paved roads for the use of autos and other vehicles which make for easier communication between town and country and in introducing conveniences which ensure more comfortable homes. All these are }contributing‘factors in making the country disâ€" tricts, the wholesomeness and healthfulness of ‘which are selfâ€"evident, desirable places in which to live. A trip to some other country oftentimes makes Canadian more appreciative of their own land, a comparison of conditions revealing the advantages of living in this fair Dominion. The editor of the Vancouver Daily Sun: recently returned from a several months‘ tour of Europe and he expressed the opinion that Canadians have opportunities and a class freeâ€" dom which are well worthy of ‘protection and preservation. In his gcomment on the subject he says: "I wish every individual in Canada and the United States could see, by comparison, the opportunities and enjoyments that we have in these countries as compared with those of the Old World. The wide gulf between the classes and masses cannot be realized, and I ‘would not want to see the same conditions exist in this country." \ A young country such as Canada has many things to be thankful for and one of these is class freedom. Assuredly in developing this land we can profit by the experiences of the ‘countries of the Old World and avoid those things which are undesirable. * The haste with which millions of dollars of the public money is year by year voted as the session rmears its close in order to permit members of the Dominion Parliament to get home, is again the subject of criticism. The public interests cannot be adequately served if such is the case. Members should see that busiâ€" ness is expedited earlier in the session so that this will â€"not be necessary. The penalties being meted out to intdxicated drivers in charge ‘of automobiles should serve as a warning to others. It is recognized that the intoxicated driver is a real menace on the public highway and must be curbeéd with the imposition of a severe penalty. The value of newspaper advertising was again illustrated when, upon the authorization of the Minister of National Revenue, the government used space in the newspapers to encourage prompt payment of the income tax. The May Day receipt of $23,850,000 as comâ€" pared with $9,450,000 last year, indicates that it had a material effect in increasing the reâ€" turns received in this department. The use of the steel trap in securing furâ€" bearing animals is strongly condemned by the famed naturalist, Ernest Seton Thompson, as being productive of cruel suffering. He urges instead the use of the "deadfall" as being more humane as it kills the animal instantly, Many will support him in the agitation to have the use of the steel trap prohibited and a. more humane method of securing the furâ€"bearing animals employed. > j : CANADA AND ITS ADVANTAGES positions than for domestic houseâ€" EDITORIAL NOTES young passed in sympathy of the bereaved widow and children of W.
