or stability addressingtbc hamilton lions club at luncheon last week rev dr richard whiting pastor of o- tenary church declared that together with church and government newspaper were to be given credit for their deep influence in guiding the community right a good editoral was worth a prayer meeting without the influence of religon or the press the country would not be worth living in he stated he spoke of tho newspaper as a strong bulwark of stability v satisfying the underwriters aaaodation the canadian fire underwriters association are not any too well satisfied with guelpbs fire protect ion appliances according to the secretary of that organization from whom the city has just received a lengthy report with reference to the conditions fonnd in this city by their inspector is this dog raatic organization satisfied with the fire protection of any town or city tho municipal authorities spend largo sums to assure adequate fire apparatus and honestly aim to have their town provided against serious damage by fire but rarely does the fire underwriters association express approval of their efforts there always seems to be something lacking id the inspectors list of requirements heavy truck owners moat pay heavier license fe i motor truck owners were plainly told by hon george s henry minister or public works at a dinner ip toronto last week that the government expected from them a much larger contribution to ward highway maintenance than that ofthe a vera g motorist ho stated that at the present time the amount pajd by ruck owners for road construction was comparatively small scarcely i per cent of the cost of operation and intimated that it was the gov ernments intention to increase this contribution the most equitable way of making the users of high ways contribute to their upkeep was a gasoline tax and as the mileage of motor truckles was much greater than the average motor car and the gasoline consumption larger truck owners would pay accord ingly he said s the coming house of commons session it is probable that the next house of commons session will open on thursday january 22 the par iimentary stage is set and the session promises to be

but parliaments rarely like the alloted span and political prophets look confidently for an appeal to tho country in 1025 from present indications the coming battle over limitation of senate powers bids fair to take primary place in importance in the closing hours of tho last session premier king announced his intention at the next session to bring down a meas ure to limit tho powers of the senate and the country will naturally look for him to implement this ten tative promise santa claus uses the radio editorial notes for the betterment of health a conference with very desirable objects
