Department, Ottawa For every accident caused by experienced drivers moving along at a good speed,. there are probably ten caused by slow and muddleâ€" headed drivers. When are the police going to organize a gdrive to elear the roads of the slow driver? They spend enough time laying in wait for the fast driver. They have an equal responsibility in the case of the slow driverâ€"â€"either speed him up or get him off the road. The bicycle rider is also a constant traffic hazard under modern jving conditions. In some sections of the twoâ€"lane highways, signs nr state that "no bicycles are allowed on these speedways." Why not clear all the fast highways of this vehicle, which is more of a menace to its rider than to the car driver Of all the hazards that present themselves to the modern driver, probably the worst is the bird who is just "out for a drive". * % This individual struddles the highway with his car and jogs along at a complacent 20 m.p h In the meantime, with traffic piling up behind him, some of the drivers who are really in a hurry, are taking chances they would never ordinarily take. These drivers, seeing that they cannot make their destinatiom in time because of the slow driver ahead, pull out of line and take the chance of being caught by oncoming traffic While this type of slow driver has no regard for the feelings of others, there is a law that prohibits drivers of this type cluttering up the highways. Where are the Provincial Police when these highâ€" way bottlenecks occur?

Until victory comes we may have little to expect in the words of Mr. Churchill, but "blood, sweat and tears," but we know that our cause is right and for that reason we have faith in the ultimate sueâ€" cess of our arms." And that faith finally _ became â€" justified _ when peace was declared. The spitit of the true British people is exemâ€" plificd in the poem "A Reckonâ€" ing" We might take for instance the constant battle with the rude forces of nature when the first homes in this province were carved out of the wilderness. In the words of Mr. McArthur, "Our ancestors endured these and other privations because they placed a high value on freedom and on the right to live as they wished. To the peoples of Europe, regardless of their nationality, was extendâ€" ed the privilege of sharing in this freedom." Continuing, he said, "The people in the Axis countries had a totally different idea from ours of the place that liberty and freedom should play in the lives of _ theâ€" common people. They} would bend the freedom of the individual to the absolute‘control of the leader and they would use all the powers of the state to enâ€" force their views not on their own ( people alone but on all the peoâ€"| ples of the world." "Thus", said Mr MeArthur, speaking in )943.[ it might be wise if each year not only the children but also the aduits would muse and stop to consider our Empire and with what torl it came to be.

It was stated that sage which the Hon. D.

Cemetery Board to Check Complaints MILVERTON. â€" Conditions in Greenwood Cemetery here are currently causing some concern among a number of citizens in the village, and several complaints have been made to George Jacobs of the cemetery board. The Ontario Crop Improvement Association and the Scab Research Committee have decided to make use of the $1,000, which was conâ€" tributed by the growers themâ€" selves, in compiling a card index of literature regarding scab. Up to the present time some 500 references with abstracts and 400 with abstracts have been secured. They cover all literature on scab back as far as 1930. These files of pertinent literaâ€" ture will be of great assistance to those engaged in research on scab control and its elimination. In this connection two graduâ€" ates of the University of Western Ontario, London, have been emâ€" ployed to collect literature from vatious journals, to abstract it and type three cards of each reâ€" ference. One group of cards is for the Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph, one for the University of Western Ontario and the other for the St. Catharines laboratory of plant pathology.
