This is the last real summer holiday and thouâ€" sands of persons will use it as a reason to drive to a resort or to their summer cottages. Roads will be blocked for miles in the vicinity of large cities, and danger will mount as more and more drivers lose patience with others on the roads. Harold Baker, Kingstan, Onâ€" tario has been awarded a Gold Seal certificate of Longtime Production by the Holsteinâ€" While traffic has increased tremendously durâ€" ing the past few years, accidents over this particular weekend has shown a substantial decrease. However, on bad day could easily jump the score back to that of 1950 when 27 people were killed in motor car accidents alone. Actually 1954 with both traffic and mileage at a higher level, showed a decrease to 15 person killed by cars. Probably the safest way to drive at this time is to make up your mind before you leave home, that speed is almost impossible. That is, safe speed is imâ€" possible and doubly dangerous because of the amount of traffic. Resign yourself to travelling at a speed which is safe in relation to the amount of traffic you have to cope with and your chances of survival are doubâ€" led. Set out determined you are going to reach your destination in record time and you may arrive at a place you hadn‘t considered .. . and not in your car.

It says a great deal for the strength and courage of Jim Edmunds, a physical training instructor at Collins Bay penitentiary, that in these circumstances he came within four miles of becoming the first man to swim the lake. A very fine effort was frustrated by the raging waters. He himâ€" There are many things about which people have widely diâ€" vergent convictions. In a numâ€" ber of serviceâ€"fellowship clubs, for instance, two subjects, reâ€" ligion and politics are forbidâ€" den as topics of discussion. The reason is apparent.

For the safety of all, strict regulations to control such swims are adâ€" vocated by Mayor Phillips. This is entirely â€" sensible, though how to enforce reguâ€" lations presents a problem. The fact remains, however, that unorganized swims across the lake are dangerous, and should be discouraged. One may deprecate unorâ€" ganized marathon swims and call for their prevention, but it is surely going overboard to demand the prohibition of all crossâ€"theâ€"lake _ swims. _ They may serve no practical purâ€" pose, like many â€" sporting of pipes of Canadian Shag leaving plenty of time for every pther topic, that is, exâ€" cepting that of religious docâ€" trine.

A traffic palliative which nobody seems opposed to, which had been suggested several times over the years, but which has never been adopted is the elimination of left hand turns at busy interâ€" sections. s The swim on September 5â€"6 promises to be one of the most exciting events of the CNE. â€" Telegram. If you were asked to name the principle reason why trafâ€" fic is slowed down at busy hours you couldn‘t ignore the vehicles which wait in line to turn across oncoming traffic and hold up long lines of trafâ€" #ic needlessly. _ We learn most thoroughly the hard way. There are many evidence of learning but they have been slow in coming. Bible schools have taught both children and parents that, deâ€" nominately divided, we can come together even on the REFORM Why Not Eliminate Leftâ€" Hand Turn at Busy Corners? Elimination of the left hand turn would cause such drivers a small amount of inpconvenâ€" ience and a little extra travel, but against that would be a decided speeding up of traffic on our principal thoroughâ€" fares.

United we stand. This rule is in effect in scores of other cities. Why not here? â€" Montreal Monitor In many communities diffâ€" erences of language drastically divide the people. Social and economic status is a divider which is so often such an efâ€" fective barrier to clergymen and lesser humanitarian worâ€" kers as to render t(eir efforts almost completely nonâ€"effecâ€" tive. It is very easy for us to find the point of division alâ€" though we should know full well that divided we fall and fail. Many other civic circumâ€" stances so easily divide us and diffuse the efficacy of our community efforts in so many realms of human effort. There are retail merchants who acâ€" centuate the fact of open comâ€" petition far beyond the point of keeping it healthy. Some of these are never capable of finding a common meeting point with those who serve the public in the selfâ€"same sphere as they do. In unison there is strength. s may be made. A NEEDED TRAFFIC \OF MANY ‘THINGsS I have always admired people with the light touch; they put a thread of quiet Quebee some day! It may be important for you to be sure #o read Gale‘s report in this even when the general pattera is disturbing. And quite often, with a pixie smile, resolve some deep problems. I have just enjoyed reading an examâ€" Jack Gale‘s report: "Quebec Housewives Come Into Their Own," reviews the present law and tells why and how Rinâ€" fret will modify it. You, a relaâ€" tive or a friend may live in It seems some church offiâ€" cials have urgéd the Federal Government to take over the booze business ‘lock, stock and barrel.‘ In many quarters this provoked dead serious editorial comment, reminding us all that prohibition did more harm The editor of Saturday Night suggested, with a smile in every word, that the church officials might get lots of $upâ€" port from guzzlers. He wrote: I am sure that even the church officials will not be able to resist a smile at that. Who knows, it might even conâ€" vince them that church offiâ€" cials are less likely to look ridiculous when they stick to spiritual matters about which they are experts, and refrain from spirituous subjects about which, presumably, they know little. . than good. All very true. But the writer who really exploded the idea completely did it with a light touch. ‘A curious change seems to take place when industries pass from private to public ownerâ€" ship; they need subsidies as well as sales to keep them in business. If the profitable liquor industry were nationaâ€" lized, therefore, it would be reasonable to suppose that sooner or later public funds would be required to keep it solvent â€" funds contributed in the form of taxes by tossâ€" pot and prohibitionist alike.‘ Rinfret, former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, will reâ€" vise the Quebec Civil Code which has bound French Canaâ€" dians since the days of Napoâ€" leon.

United, making our individual contriâ€" butions from our individual backgrounds and retaining the sacredness of our identity, I bhope that we may, through the council, be more effective unâ€" itedly than we have ever been only as "you in your small corner and I in mine." It would seem to me that all organizations with an overâ€" whelming desire to Do Good in the World should make a point of inviting at least one rascal with twinkling eye to every meeting.
