T‘ns WaTtam.o0 CnronicLs " ~~~PAGB TWOâ€" Figures to hand indicate that Ontario last year established a record in the Dominion, leading all other provinces in auto fatalities. According to the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, 954 persons in all were killed by motor cars in 1933, a decrease of 166 from the previous year‘s figures. This made the death rate from cars per 100,000 population 8.9, as compared with 10.7 in 1932. Ontario had the heaviest death toll in 1933 â€"11.8 per 100,000 population. British ‘Columbia stood second with a rate of 11.0. Nova Scotia‘s rate was 8.8, Quebec‘s 8.6 and Alberta‘s 8.5. In Prince Edward Island two persons were killed by automobile during 1933. In Aiberta the increase in number over the preâ€" vious year was 15. Further analyzing the statistics we find that Toronto decreased its toll from 88 in 1982 to 65 in 1938 ; Montreal from 121 to 104; Vancouver from 44 to 28. Ottawa had 25 deaths, the same number as in 1982, while Hamilton reported an increase of 2 and "I unite with all who condemn the display of suggestive advertisements on billâ€"bourds, at theatre entrances and in newspapers, and favorable reviews often given to immoral motion pictures, in the daily press, "I shall do all that I can to arouse public opinion against the portrayal of vice as a normal condition of affairs, and against depicting criminals in any class, as heroes and heroines, presenting their filthy philoâ€" sophy of life as something acceptable to decent men and women. "I wish to join the Legion of Decency which condemns vile and unwholesome moving pictures. I unite with all who protest against them, as a grave menace to youth, to home, to life, to country, and to religion. "I condemn, absolutely, those salacious pictures, which with other degrading agencies, are corrupting public morals and promoting a sex mania, in our land. Now the Roman Catholics, with characterâ€" istic energy and definiteness, have taken up the cudgel. They are approaching the matter in a more direct way, that the result cannot fail to make the producers take cognisance of the widespread dissatisfaction with the modern movie producers. Over a million persons have already signed the following pledge of decency sponsored by the Roman Catholic Church in the United States. ° In recent years a great deal of thought and study have been given by the Protestant and Catholic Churches of America to the effect of the movies on the youth. Valuable research work has been done by Fred Eastman of Chicago, and by the Federal Council of Churches of America. But research and the appeal to conscience has been slow to change the practices of the Hollywood producers, who are more interested in box office receipts than they are in the effect of their pictures. "The truth is that Mr. Gaby‘s knowledge and experience in hydro matters is absolutely indispensable to the best interests of this great publiclyâ€"owned utility, Mr. Gaby was long asâ€" sociated with the late Sir Adam Beck in buildâ€" ing up the hydro system; in fact the groundâ€" wofk was largely his creation and he has fostered its growth during the past quarter century. We believe that Mr. Gaby has always endeavored to keep himself and his work free from political influence. If Mr. Hepburn feels that Mr. Gaby is overpaid, he may recommend to the Hydroâ€"Electric Commission a reduction in salary. Certainly we have not heard of any widespread demand for Mr. Gaby‘s removal and we feel that it might cause irreparable injury to the future of one of Ontario‘s greatest assets." The Simcoe Reformer, an independent weekly newspaper, commenting on the sugâ€" gested dismissal of Mr. Gaby, chief hydro enâ€" gineer, says: SUBSCRIPTION RATES: Anywhere in Canada, $2.00 a year; in the United States, $2.50 a year, payable in advance.

Stewart Lyon, a former Managing Editor of The Toronto Globe, for the position of Chairman of the Ontario Hydroâ€" Electric Power Commission, has been received with general approval. Regardless of party affiliations, _ newspapermen _ throughout the Province heartily endorse the choice. Mr. Lyon is a man of splendid capacity and strong public spirit. From the inception of the Hydro moveâ€" ment in this Province Mr. Lyon gave it his hearty support, and has always been a close student of Hydro affairs. An intimate friend of Sir Adam Beck, Mr. Lyon has ever been strong for public ownership, and can be depended upon to carry on the Beck tradition." Beef steak clubs are suggested in a monthâ€" ly pamphiet, "Agricuituitural and Industrial Progress in Canada". This C.P.R. pamphlet hints that with the advancing appreciation of good beef in Canada, Beef Steak Clubs may eventually be formed in some of the larger cities in the Dominion. They have been in existence in England since the reign of Queen Anne. One applicant for naturalization at Sudâ€" bury told the court that Hon. R. B. Bennett had been king of England but that Mr. Lapierre, the newlyâ€"elected Sudbury M.P.P., was due to succeed him. Those desiring to become citizens of Canada should be instructed in Canadian and British history. "Toronto," remarks the Shelburne Free Press, "was so desperately anxious to pull off unusual stunts to celebrate Centennial Year that it didn‘t even balk at electing some Liberal members to the Legislature." Only a few months ago President Rooseâ€" velt was supposed to be having a difficult time with many of his supporters because he was not lavish in his distribution of patronage. Now he is so lavish that he is being assailed in Republican quarters. The Conservative government in Ontario steps out of office about July 10th, a few days earlier than the Saskatchewan government which will let go the reins of office on July 19th. The United States has a telephone for every seven people, and Canada one for every eight. The real test is how many times each finds "line busy." A visitor says that lynching as a sport is decaying in the United States, which may be due to the failure of the victims to enter into the spirit of the thing. The 160â€"yearâ€"old Turk, Zaro Agha, is reâ€" ported at death‘s door. His attendants are perturbed. They would like him to live long enough for them to check up on his age. Chancellor Hitler apparently has adopted the Soviet principle of striking terror into the hearts of his adversaries. It is surprising that a country so far advanced in learning and science as the Germans should submit to such a brutal type of dictatorship. The rest of the world is wondering what will happen next. Will the militaryâ€"Junker class get the upper hand anÂ¥ precipitate another war with France? The people of Europe were alarmed the past week on receiving reports of the execuâ€" tions of a hundred or more leading and inâ€" fuential Germans who were said to be plotting to overthrow Hitler‘s government. The vicâ€" tims, including a former chanceller, were killed by firing squads after three minute trials, as traitors to the government and country. July and August are the holiday months and it would be better for all concernedâ€" parents, pupils, teachers and examinersâ€"to have the examinations finished the last week in June. This: week hundreds of middle and upper school pupils finished writing the annual departâ€" mental examinations. To continue this work into the second week in July is not fair to the students. Previous to last year these examinaâ€" tions were written two weeks earlier, enabling the finishing of writing before July. The change to a later date has brought. strong protests from both teachers and parents. The "Fury" fighting airplanes of the Royal Air Force, which came to Canada for Toronto‘s centennial celebration, were the feature of the spectacular Kitchener and Waterloo Airport meet held on Saturday. The planes have a speed of 214 miles an hour at an elevation of 14,000 feet. Thousands of people witnessed the thrillâ€" ing performance of the planes under Comâ€" mander Pirie. The three young officers put on a dashing, daring, exhibition of flying with the powerful silver bird planes which ‘was pleasing to watch. ‘ The above report shows that there is room for improvement for greater care on the part of both motorists and pedestrians when travelâ€" ling on the highways. » London an increase of 8.

EDITORIAL NOTES THE WATERLOO CHRONiCLE Mvud $ William Wileon was charged with driving a car without having an operator‘a permit. He pleaded guilty and wae placed on parole for six monthe.

In Northern Ontario frequent rains have made the crop outlook decidedly hrlghlpr__ NOT GuILTy of Belowâ€"avernge crops fare reported from Brant, Haldimand, Middlesex and Lambton, altmmh recent rainâ€" fall has fmprov prospects. . Fall wheat will be a light crop in Oxford while the hay crop is about oneâ€" third off. Better crops of alfalfa and clover than anticipated are reported from Wentworth, but orchards have not «hown much comeback from their backward appearance earlier in the apring. Spripg crope in Ontario county give every appearance of a splendid yleld, ‘both of straw and grain. In Prince Edward spring grain looks very promising, while fair ylelds of early peas are reported and early potatoes look exceptionally good. _ Winter Injury in orchards there is more eerlous than anticlâ€" pated, the varieties most affected beâ€" ing Stark, Ben _ Davis, Cranberty, Pippin and Northern Spy. in poor condition due to very @hort pastures, Crops are looking real well in Wellington county. ‘The «amall number of potato buge la a matter of comment among potato growers there, the general opinion being that the severe winter killed many of them Weekly Crop Report Reports from district agricultural representatives have taken on a more optimistle tone in the past two weeks. From Bruce comes the reâ€" port that spring crops have a wonderâ€" ful color and give promise of a real good crop. Dufferin reports grain fields very promising and a considerâ€" able acreage of annual hays and corn planted to supplement roughage reâ€" quirements Halton states that field crops have assumed an entirely difâ€" ferent aspect and that the district is headed for the first crop of alâ€" falfa seed in a number of years. In North Simcoe springsown crops are looking exceptionally well, there hayâ€" ing been a plentiful aupply of rain for three weeks. Waterloo, on the other hand, reports crop progpects the poorest in years, with livestock Straight summer fallow is also very effective, althought somewhat more expensive. . Late sown buckwheat followed the next year with rape or roots is a splendid change. Hay fields known to be dirty should _ be ploughed â€" immediately after haying, the furrows left to bake dry out for 10 days or two weeks, then cultivated freqently as a sumâ€" mer fallow and seeded to fall wheat early in September. This so called dry cleaning method is very effective on Sow Thistle, Twitch Grass, Bladâ€" der Campion :uld other perennial weeds. July plowing and early vest cultivation is to be commended. War Against Weeds Dry weather and bright, hot sunâ€" ahine are the farmers‘ greatest allles in the war against weeds, says A. H. Martin, agsistant director, Crops and Markets Branch. July and August are busy months for theâ€" farmer, but weather is usually hot and dry that it is during these months when the maximum damage can be done to weeds with the minimum of effort. Gardener‘s Insect Friends All garden insects are not injuriâ€" ous. In fact many of them are beneâ€" ficial, continually doing good by deâ€" stroying those epecies which are harmful. Forémost among the inâ€" seots that help the gardener are the different kinds of ladybird beetles. Boht in their larval and adult stages, they feed almost exclusively upon plant lice and scale insects. Another kind of beetle, the flery ground beeâ€" tle, is a particularly useful insect. This beetle and its voracious grub, which is called the cut worm lon, destroy enormous numbers of cut worms. ‘The beetle is brownishâ€"black, with the wingâ€"cases spotted with copâ€" pery redâ€"hence its name. The large harpalus beetle, which is very comâ€" mon, destroys cut worms. The differâ€" ent kinds of lacewing, and other two and four winged parasitic flies are also friends of the gardener. & Potato Beetle Polson The best and cheapest polson to use for the control of the potato beetle is calcium arsenate at the rate of 1% to 2 pounds in 40 gallons of Bordeaux mixture (copper sulâ€" phate 6 lbe., lime 4 lbe., water 40 gallons). If the poison is used alone in water, add two to three pounds of hydrated lime to each 40 gallons. Should arsenate of lead or Paris green be preferred as a poison, two to three pounds of the arsenate or half to one pounds of Paris green may be substituted, to be used in each 40 gallon barrel of spray. Intercropping the Orchard The central space between trees in orchards utilised for crops should be treated under the cover .crop sysâ€" tem. Hoed crops like potatoes, atrawâ€" berries, etc., are to be preferred to crops of grain or grass. Instances have been recorded where tall growâ€" ing intercrops, such as corn, when planted too close to the trees, have prevented the bark from properly ripering or hardening, with the ‘reâ€" eult that a large number of trees were killed by sunscald the followâ€" ing winter. Acute indigestion in horses is the reuul:agf one or Other of the followâ€" ing calises: Sudden exercise lttg feeding; overfeeding; change food; new hay or oats; feeding ‘closeâ€" textured foods, such as meal when rot properly bulked with cut hay.
