Editor AN AWFUL PRICE FOR EXPERIENCE The recent terrible tragedy in town which caused the loss of two fine young lives should be a lesson to alt of us, both ol3 and young, to heed warnings of danger. It aQpears to us that no blame can be attached to anyone, as all of us knew of the danger the youngsters were running in sleigh riding at that spot, but none of us requested the principal of the school to prohibit the practice. iWe also fail to see where the driver could be s.\ fait, as there are no warn ing signs displayed of a school zone in the vicinity and most drivers never see the school .situated on the hlii. In many other districts similar ac cidents have occurred with loss of life, but this one has brought the lesson home deep for everyone, though at what a price! In nearby towns, wliere sleighing on dangerous streets was enjoyed by the young people, the authorities are taking action to prohibit the practice and prevent further accidents of a similar nature. The PuhJic School Board no doubt will now prohibit sleigh riding on the walk in front ol the school and confine the kidides' fun to the hills at the rear or tlie -scTiool and the village council will likely do likewise on the main streets. While the well-packed snow on the travelled road is a great temptation for younj; sters to have thrills with fast bob sleighing, the hills around town, and there are plenty of them, are much safer for youngsters to play on. THAT HOSPITAL QUESTION The Durham Chronicle last week devoted a whole long column to a eaa tigalion of The Advance for its tem- erity in taking exception to some of the things it published re hospital.s The Advance man claims to embrace in hi.s makeup (luito as much human- itarianism as does the editor of The Chronicle. Our major claim was that there were too many public hos- pital.s in Grey County, but The Chron- icle fails utterly to refer to this phase of the fiuc.stion. Instead, it prints a lot of blufT and bluster about our want (if .sympathy for the poor patients. We have no desire to follow The Chronicle in its fiery argument fus-. ther than to say that if The Chronicle cannot see any saving in eliminating Nome of the existing hospitals hi should look up a County Council re- port, which details the amounts paid by the county to the several hospitals; yet he "cannot see that the dismantl- ing of the small hospitals will in any Way reduce our taxes." Also, we might remind The Chronicle that there are well equipped private hos- pitals right in this county which do not feed at the public trough and art. doing good work. Surely the Dur- ham and Hanover hospitals could do as well without placing themselves on the milking list. SOME LOCAL CEMETERIES The Canadian Cemetery Service has a traviOling correspondent who is rather careless with the language he uses. This is what he says about tht cemetery at Berkeley, "Cleanliness ami godliness are supposed to go hand in hand. Then, if so Ihj it, one can make bis own deductions and do it wish a loud voice. Apparently the people who worship in the little church about 100 feet east of the Owen Sound highway need to be hit on the head with a sledge hammer to arouse thorn to their sense of duty regarding the burial ground which surrounds it. The township council is hereby n.)ti- fied that this is the second and last varning before ofher measures will â- e taken." This writer also refers to the two cemeteries on the highway a mile and .i half south of Markdale, and causti- •ally remarks that "if the parties re- sponsible in cither of these have lost all sense of shame would suggest errecting a high board fence in front of them or removing them away from the public highway." The language used in both these cases is, we believe, quite justified. EDITORIAL NOTES A HEALTH SERVICE OF THE CANADIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AND LIFE! INSURANCE COMPANIES IN CANADA ,WHY QUARANTINE?

There is considerable mourning t among the civil service employees oil Canada because of a ten per ccni. cut which has been made in their sa*- .iric,s. Yet all should remember that in the past three years their cost or living has been reduced from 30 to 10 nor cent, and they are still very much "ahead of the game." Stay With Hogs Because of (luite unprecedented con- ditions the Bacon Market in Great Britain has been flooded. At the present time Hog Products from many countries of the world are being sold thereon. At the recent Imperial Conference an agreement on a Ho; Quota for Canada was settled. Through the foresight of our Canadian representa- tiTes and the generosity of the rep- resentatives of the British GoverTi- ment, Canada is permitted to export up to 280,000,000 pounds or almost 2,1500,000 hogs per year under regulat- ed conditions. Canada's export trade is very small >;o that an exceptional opportunity for development presents itself. Can- adian Farmers need therefore not herutate to continue pro'du'cing. Stay with hogs. Read The Advance regularly. Living, as we do, in organized com- munities, we have found it to be not only desirable, but necessary that we should unite for our own individ- ual and family protection. We secure through our taxes, the services of an organized police and fire department, and we also purchase such protection against disease as can be provided by the application of preventive medicine on a community basis, by a modern public health de- partment. What is best for the community, as a whole, is usually best for the indi- vidual citizen, but, when there is conflict between the two, the interests of the community as a whole take precedence over those of the indi- vidual. Communicable diseases are a com- munity problem. They are a serious matter for the individual, who con- tracts one or the other of them; but, because the one may pass the disease on to many others, it is much more •-• community than an individual or personal matter. The communicable diseases are spread, in general, by the transfer- ence of germ-laden secretions or exe- eretions from the sick to the well This spread is prevented when the sick person is removed from contac: with other people. The case ts isolated. Communicable diseases all have an â- incubation period, which is that per- iod between the entrance of the germs into the body and the appearance ol the typical symptoms. The incuba- tion period varies with the different communicable diseases. The devel- oping cases may pass on the disease to others during the incubation per- iod, particularly during the latter part of that period. For this reason those who have been in contact with a case, and so may fairly be expectea to have contracted the disease, are kept away from others â€" quarantined â€" for the incubation period of the dis- ease to which they have been expo-sed. Quarantine regulations which re- quire the isolation of cases and the quarantine of contacts have, as their objective, the control of communicab'e. diseases. Thoy are not for the ben- efit of the case or contacts, but for the protection of all the children and adults who make up the community. There are some people who are very much opposed to quarantine when it is applied to their own home. They seem to feel that such regulations are all right for everyone except them- selves. To accept quarantine Is sin>ply to accept the regulations of community life, taking the same re- sponsibility to protect others that you would expect others to assume for the protection of you and your family.

A. TT AWKKX < Kimberley Barn Burned The fine large barn belonging to Mr. Chas. Press, near Kimberley, was completely destroyed by fire shortly before the noon hour on Saturday, along with the entire season's crop, a few implements and a threshing machine belonging to his brother, Mr. Arthur Press. They had finished I'.irc '.ling in the barn and the engine ..«a movea oft to the end of the barn in order to get a fresh supply of water when sudden- ly someone noticed smoke coming out of one of the mows and in a short time the flames from the fire were spreading to all parts of the barn An effort was made to get the thresh ing machine out, but without success although there were many men around the barn. A few of the farm imple- ir.ants and the live slock in the barn were removed safely but the rest went up in smoke. The barn, its contents and the thresher were insured, but not sufficiently to cover the loss. It is thought that a spark from the en- gine Was the cause of the fire, al- though no one is certain as to this [loint.

Discussion Continues On Empire Preference The trade treaties are stiU before the House ard everyone, I xeel sure, is tired of the debate. There was a great deal of discussion before tha vote was taken on the resolution and still more di-scussion before the vovc on second reading, and now we are in committee on the items. One day's items included perfumes, hogs, cut flowers, soap, potatoes, ales, comic strips, glue and books. The discus sion which has taken place does not differ from the discussions whicn have been repeated year after year in the consideration of budgets. The fiercest opposition on all the agreements is tali' i,j :;lace nn 'lartcd- wire and cream separators. Perhaps if I state the position in respect to these two items and indicate the argu> ments pro and con, it will be a fair sample of all the arguments. With regard to barbed-wire, prior to the present agreement with Great Britain this commodity was free und- er the British preference and free also both under the intermediate and general tariffs. Under the new rate as fixed in the agreement it is free under British preference, lO'A inter- mediate and lO'v general tariff. But we must next look at our imports of barbed-wire. From what countries do we import? Last year we im- ported barbed-wire as follows: United Kingdom $ 9,312 Belgium 86,811 Germany 27,905 Netherlands 22,994 United States 187,192 It will be seen from this that an increase of W/r on the intermediate and general tariffs against other countries would, in all probability, in- crease the price of barbed-wire to Canadian farmers. The reply of the Government to this contention is that they guaiantee that no increase in price will take place, and that with the increased tariffs against the im- portations from other countries, Great Britain which has now only $9,312 worth of trade in this country, would have an opportunity to vastly increase that trade with Canada. The cream separator item is a little more difficult for the Government to handle. Before the preference agree- ment was made with Great Britain, cream separators v/ere free not only from Great Britain, but free undei the intermediate and general tariffs as well. Now they are free from Great Britain, with a 25'; intermed- iate and a 2a' i general tariff. It would appear however that the Unit- ed Kingdom does not manufacture cream separators of the type that Canada would import. During the past year we have imported the fol- lowing cream separators: Belgii:m $ 85,935 Denmark 2,473 Finland 28,140 Germany 6,960 Sweeden 106,701 Switzerland 366 United States 859,311 Again the opposition argued that the result of the 25Vr increase in in- termediate and general tariffs will mean a protection to the Canadian manufacturer and a raise in price to the consumer, without any benefit at all to Great Britain. To this the Government again replies that there will be no increase in price and this added protection may enable Great Britain to compete successfully against other countries in our mark- ets. And so these comparisons go nn endlessly. t ' I Take the Worry Out of I I Winter Driving FILL UP WITH VULCAN ANTI-FREEZE Absolutely guaranteed only »pA»<^3 per Gallon Have that worn grease replaced in transmission and differential and correct grade of oil put in the crankcase SPARK PLUGS TESTED FREE D.McTavish & Son ; FLESHERTON, Ont While still rejoicing that new mon- ey has been issued by the Govern- ment to the extent of 35 million, hav- ing no gold reserve behind it, I re- gret that the banks will make $700,000 on account of the I'r for handling and if the banks pyramid credit loans against the 35 million they would benefit to the extent of at least C;* of the loans on credit that belongs to the people and not the banks, and at the end of two years if the govern- ment wishes to reclaim its treasury notes it will havo to pay 35,000,000. It would certainly cost the people much less if the Treasury Board (ths Government) issued the 35,000,000 direct without interest and it would certainly be as sound since in eithei case the money tokens would be print- ed against the wealth of Canada. The "Bright Fan" enquiry was brought to the attention of the House by Mr. Stitt, Conservative member from The Pas, Manitoba. It will be remembered that the Bright Fan was the name of the ship whi:h struck an ice^rg in the Hudson Bay some weeks ago and sank with her load of wheat. Mr. Stitt confidently ex- pressed the opinion thnt the sinking of the Bright Fan was engineered for the purpose of discrediting the Hud- son Day rouJe. and that he had pioofs, in fact, he dcrlared that the ship's offi:ers had hunted fo;- several days through the Bay to find an iceberg to run into. In this connection there are rumors that the vessel was bought by a Montreal Company for 122,000 some time ago and that she was in- sured for $75,000. It came out in the evidence during the enquiry in Canada that another vessel which left port several hours after the Bright Fan was 200 miles further on its voyage than the Bright Fan, when the ship sank, and that when she sank she was 32 miles off her course. The Board of Enquiry found "negligence on the part of the officers of the ship as the cause of the disaster." A further enquiry is being conducted by the Board of Trade of Great Britain when, presumably, some of the charg- es made by Mr. Stitt on the floor of the House will be investigated. Last week-end was a very crowded one. I attended for the first time a Board meeting of the Co-operative Union. I can see that the work on the Boswd will help very much to im- prove one's understanding of what to do and what to avoid in co-operative endeavours. And on Saturday even- ing I motored with H. H. Hannam of the United Farmers to Stouffville to attend a large public meeting and the same night took the train for Windsor and Detroit. On Sunday, at tea in Detroit, due to the kindness of my hostess, Mrs. Frank Tinker, I met many interesting people: Among them, Mr. and Mrs. Hughes Hallett. the British Consul and his wife; the Consul-General of Cuba; Mr. H. H Hallatt of iWindsor, n inanuracturer who has become very interested in monetary reform, and Mrs. Hallatt, an American economist who believes in inflation for United States â€" it may be just as well not to give his name. Conditions in Detroit are admitted- ly bad; one sees a tremendous num- ber of empty buildings in the business section of the city and beautiful homes are being rented for less than the in- terest on the investment and taxes. It pays not to own houses. Windsor is greatly affected by the economic condition in Detroit and has had to absorb thousands of commuters (those who Hve in Windsor and form- erly worked in Detroit). I did a broadcast from Windsor on Monday; it was the first time T ever enjoyed speaking over the air. The same night I addressed itYis League of Nations Society there. A brilliant young lawyer, Paul Martin, Is the president of the society and it is. In fact, an open forum for the discussion of national and international ques- tions. We were favored on Monday with a capacity audience. T thought it was a delightful evening until I saw my photograph in the Border Cities Star. Talk about stopping a clock! That one would stop an oxpress train doing 60 miles an hour! â€"AGNES MACPHAIL House of Commons, Ottawa, 19th November, 1932. Renew your subscription now. ARTEMESLA.
