Tourists, of course, realize that they must obey the laws here, but. said the premier, con- nideration should be gNen them because they an strangers to our practice and legishtion. Citizens in general will agree with the sen. timenta expressed by Ontario', premier. Cana. dim are at heart a hospitable people And m "or ready to éxtend a cordial welcome to those from other lands who vial: this country. Following complaints made through the Detroit Automobile Club, an unexpected turn was given the controversy over: the treatment of traffic law offenders from the United States when Premier Ferguson received from the Federal Motor Club of Michigan a telegraphed apology for the "unjust criticism recently levelled at Ontario officialdom," and which de- clared that the whole affair'was.a "tempest in a teapot created by the protests of a few disgruntled motorists." The telegram pledged the "deep appreciation of many thousands of United States motorists who would hasten to testify to the unending courtesy and generous‘ consideration shown them by constables, road patrols, other government officials and the people generally” l As Premier Ferguson stated, government officials and the citizens of the province are doing everything they can to make it pleasant for the tourists and guests who come to Can- During the past week or two the griev- ances of tourists, some of whom have made allegations of discrimination by highway police against American tourists, have been the sub. ject of much discussion, and following a re- ported threat by the Detroit Automobile Club that it may have to warn American tourists to avoid Western Ontario/Premier Ferguson de- clared his intention of instituting an investi- gation. He said that if any highway police had been guilty of the discriminating alleged, lack of courtesy and particularly of improperly col- lecting fines, the fines would be returned and; the highway officers dealt with. He tstated) that instructions had gone out to all officers that eburtesy is to be the first consideration, and if they find someone whose only offense is exceeding the speed limit they have been told to warn him and do the courteous thing with him. The farmer's of this county are noted for their industry and thrift. evident in the pros- perous and well-kept farms to be found throughout the district which continues to maintain its standing as one of the most thriving farming communities in the province. While this is due in large measure to the favorable weather conditions which have pre- vailed it also unmistakably reflects careful pre- paration of the land by the agrieulturiats, the sowing of high quality seed and the close atten- tion given to the requirements necessary for the production of good crops. Waterloo County this year again promises to further enhance its reputation as a prosper- ous farming community by reason of abundant yields of both grain and other farm crops while the outlook for fruits is also promising. I THE TREATMENT OF TOURISTS [A PROSPEROUS FARMING COMMUNITY I The contamination of the river has given rise to many protests from residents of the district who will welcome the correction of the conditions to which they have objected while the municipalities interested will also be re- lieved to learn that the situation is now well in hand and is being corrected. _ It is alleged that certain industrial _t:."iii",i"ti','it,,i'_t.1t't.ii",t,i'ti_t",s,i cems in the area are responsible’for the con- othe ditions complained of and it is understood that The they have been asked to eo-operate in the tuni efforts being made to overcome the nuisance to t by sending their waste to the municipal sewage intel disposa lplant instead of dumping it raw into to a the river which, it is stated, killed the oxygen in the water and caused the fish to die. . - The contamination of the Grand tttv-Go. tween the town of Waterloo and the village of Bridgeport has been under investigation by the health department engineers end official- ot the gum and tUheries depertlnent of the neo- vlncinl government with n View to "eertainind the Ctbtttbe of tturpo1iution and according to the matter of Health, Dr. Forbes Godfrey, the situation has been dealt with satisfactorily.

This is a step that should meet with general approval. Cltizens should be encouraged to lend their efforts to preserve for themselves and future generations The energetic campaign being conducted to make known the advantages of the town of Waterloo as a shopping centre, cannot fail to be attended with beneficial results to the munici- pality and its merchants. It is intefgsting t9 notis that the Dominion Government. last week, retired the outstanding balance of the 1919-29 bond issue of $55,000.- Conditions which obtain in some centres of population were revealed a yeamr so ago in a survey made by the Montreal Anti-Tuberculosis and General Health League in connection with its tuberculosis field service. An analysis of this survey. embracing 737 cases and 497 families, is enlightening. It showed that 6311; of the cases had not a separate room, 501}. had not a separate bed, 19% occupied a room improper- ly lighted and ventilated, 25% of the houses were not clean, 32% had no bath, and 6511 had ‘no wash basin. Municipal authorities in the larger centres, _ especially are confronted with problems of in-l adequate housing accommodation, and munici- palities are, to a growing degree, endeavoring to avoid the housing evils which afflict older cities. In a new country such as Canada it is obvious that every effort should be made to see that conditions are not created which tend to adversely affect the health of the residents of any community. It is stressed that where housing condi- tions are bad, there are a lessened expectation of life, increased general death rate, especially from tuberculosis, measles, whooping cough and diphtheria, an increased infantile mortality rate and more communicable diseases. Bad housing conditions, it is'pointed out, are to be found everywhere. It is not necessary to go to the old and crowded cities of Europe to find slums. Unsatisfactory housing, it is "stated, exists in all the cities or towns of Can- ada to a more or less degree. Even in the vast open spaces of the great western plains the rapid increase in population following industrial development has createda housing problem. It is hoped, however, that in this new country, with so small a relative population and so great an area of territory, there will never arise, on so large a scale, housing evils that mark many of the older cities. Discussing the matter of health and hous- ing, a recent bulletin of the Social Service Coun- eil of Canada states that any condition of housing which tends to impair this physical or mental health of the tenants of the community is bad housing. The West continues to otter splendid oppor- tunities agriculturally, as well as industrially. to those who apply themselves diligently and intelligently to the tasks which they undertake to accomplish; The sale of nearly . million acres of land, as reported, illustrates the eottfldenee in the west of those already located there, and of others who have but recently come to this land.
