PAGE TWO CANANT. URGES CIVILIAN GUARD Immediate Action by Féderal Government in Co-ordinating Volunteer Defense Stressed Windsor, Dec. 10 -- Immediate ac- 'tion by the federal government in co-ordinating ~~ volunteer defense organizations was urged by Hon. G. D. Conant in an address prepared Yor delivery at the inspection of the 'Windsor Volunteer Civil Guard here. * «ihe efforts of the Dominion Government have , so far, been largely directed towards the organi- zation dnd training cf the fighting forces, the mobilization of physical resources and fhe development of | industrial activities," he said. "1 do not think, however, that sufficient has yet been 'done in the direction of mobilization and co- ordinating all activities in the com- [ties, Voluntéer civilian services may yet prove the deciding factor in the | st «colossal struggle in which we are | 'now engaged," he said. *)Civilian defense commitees in On- 'tario are intended to constitute | means and organizations for co- ordinating al activities in the com- | munity to deal with enemy action. Mr. Conant said. Their work should not be limited to one organization or activity but should embrace the entire community. Men trained in the Volunteer Civil 'Guard should be more valuable and their, services more available for the committees' work than would other- wise be the case, he continued " 'We must leave nothing undone to safeguard our inter security and to prepare against the very obvious possibilities, by a sive action and intelligent, cordial co-operation by the three jurisdictions--the Do- ninion, the provincial and the mun- jcipal authorities," he added. CONANT ORDERS SERVICE LIMIT IN SUMMONSES Indefinite Extensions Ruled Out in Traffic Act Offenses -- Present System Held Unfair to .Motorists "Toronto, Dec. 9.--A new system as to time for issuing summonses un- der the 'Highway Traffic Act has been ordered by Gordon Ccnant. The move follows Complaints by motorists that too much 'time elapses between the tile of the purported offense and the date of appearance in court. Under the change, Mr. Conant is informing all magistrates: and jus- tices" cof the peace throughout the province that where an extension of Service is 'endorsed on the sum- monses, a specified time for exten- Blon' must be cited. The definite endorsement will read: "Time for service extended until," and the de- finite date inserted.. 'While this may result in some persons who have committed of- fénses escaping, Mr. Conant agreed he Telf if is far better that they escape than it is to continue to be manifestly unfair in having an ex- tension granted indefinitely, Mr. Conant pointed -out that where a leng extension has arisen, the officer who lays the charge has mage nofes of the offences. When Nhe appears in court he is able to refresh his memory of the occur- rence, . The motorists, who may have committed the offense menths before, are scarcely able to recall the events. | Section 52 of the act now says summonses must be served within 15 days, and sub-section 2 of this section provides that a magistrate | may extend the time for issue and | seryice. This section, Mr. Conant | observed, makes no provision for | extending the time for a definite | period. In the case of a person who | may be absent from his residence | for, say, months in the summer, | seryice will be attempted where pos- sible and, if he is not served, the | charge is likely to be dropped. But | authorities said every effort will be made to sérve him, HOW TO OVERCOME ITCHING PILES If you are annoyed with itching "piles or rectal soreness, do not neg- lect the samme or run the risk of letting. these conditions "become chronic.

STEWART Central Press Canadian Columnist Washington--On the recent eve of General Camacho's inauguration as president of Mexico numerous newspapers on this side of the Rio Grande printed an article by a dis- tinguished American columnist de- scribing how particularly happy an occasion it was. The Washington daily: which I see most frequently published this article under the eight-column headline, "A New Era of Friendship Dawns in United States-Mexico Re- lations." Underneath this eight-column streamer was a two-column bank, as newspapermen call it, to the fol- lowing effect: "Wallace's Presense at Camacho's Inauguration Strengthens Ties." Streamer and bank aptly epitom- ized the article: which followed them Turn we now to the front news page of the same issue of the same newspaper.

"It's like a dream being here." sald one of these youngsters, Ian Mylles, who was among the first batch of unofficial evacuees to ar- rive with their parents or relatives. "Everything is so sunny and happy it's hard to believe it's true." Ian, who is 12, showed something of his reaction to the war in saying: "When I saw Sydney children play- ing with toy machine-guns in the street and having a marvellous time 'sheotine' rch other down, I felt horribly sick. "I used to think it was fun play- ing at war until I saw the Belgian refugees, who were machine-gun- COUNTY STUDYING ECONOMY PAYS FOR SNOW REMOVAL Belleville, Dec. 9.--Economy was set as the watchword for 1041 at the concluding session of Hastings County Council meeting, Lengthy debate on snow removal apprepria- tions arising from the recent re- cord-breaking snowfall finally re- sulted in $75 being granted to each of the seven northern municipali- ties for snow removal, Reeve Gecrge West, of Madoc, urged utmost economy during the war period, "Throughout the past year we have exercised every dili- gence in keeping expenses at a minimum. While our boys are fight- ing over there, it is up to the people of the county to work a little harder and get along on a little less." Reeve Joseph Davis, of Mont- eagle and Herschel asked a suffi- cient grant to keep "at least the mail routes" in his municipality open during the winter. "Some northern townships have no county roads at all, and it is a necessity that at least the mail routes be kept open in case of sickness during the winter. As it is now, we don't know ned." He had another criticism too: "I , except when they about: the war. They don't is about at all," he said.

For war purposes, if | nothing else, we should keep roads | open and therzby facilitate getting | | our raw materials for war purposes out Besides this aspezt of the case, people do get sick, and doc- tors must get in to them," War- den Churcher declared.

"When we think of mo- | thers and children digging them- selves out of brick and mortar in England, it seems to me a little dig- ging in the snow wouldn't hutt us here. We have always gotten out no matter how bad the snowdrifts were, if we really wanted to," he decared. During the day the Roads and Bridges committee report for the year was presented by Reeve James Moore, Maintenance and construc< tion costs were $77,000. The propos- ed expenditure for 1041 was $91,000, but this amount was reduced by the Department of Highways to $75,000, Frad Snow Costly Total costs of snow removal last year was $10,500, and the purchase of a new power grader at a cost of $5,400 along with laying one and a half miles of new pavement on the Macdoe Highway at a cost of $8,000 made rigid economy necessary, the report stated. Of the $18,282 set aside in June | for patriotic purposes, over $11,000 ° | has already been disbursed. Reeve George West told the council. Three thcusand dollars was given the Red Cross, $1,250 to the Knights = of Columbus war huts, $1,250 to the Salvation Army, and $2,500 to the | Y.M.C.A. charities. In addition a | grant of $250 was made to the Has- [tings and Prince Edward Regiment, The remainder is being held in readiness for any emergency, Reeve West said, since no further monies are available until next June, During the afterncon Reeve Charles Rush was presented with a | gift of silver by his fellow coun=- | cillors as a token of good-will fol | lowing his recent marriage.

Telephone engineers can now anticipate with greater 'accuracy the causes leading to trouble. They don't wait for wear and tear, or an emer- gency to announce itself; they attack it before it interferes! This activity is called "preventive maintenance" -- and telephone people are very proud of it. The cumulative effect of preventive maintenance, plus improved design, reduced troubles per tele- phone by 43 per cent in and this improvement the period 1926 to 1929 continues.
