tourist booklet just issued by the pro vincial government with the idea of attracting more visitorsfrom across the line has several references to the ontario highlands which it enthuses over as presenting i summer climate lar because the district lies from seven hundred to two thousand carefulness is worth while when the motorist slips along over a smooth wide roadway such as the provincial highway that runs through acton at or above the speed limit with no traffic in sight he has a tendency to laugh at the necessity for regulations but occasionally the necessity from which laws arise is borne in on one with- striking force the writer saw a young lady knocked down on a city street one morning last week with serious injury qesulting by a young man who drove carelessly and doubtlesgjy unthinkingly around a corner it is safe to say he didthink rather more seriously when he saw the victim of the ac cident picked up limp and unconscious and hurried to the hospital while he himself went off to the police station and it is just- at such moments that accidents occur and it is to protect the motorist himself as well as pedestrians that the laws are en acted it may seem absurd to be expected to drive fifteen miles or less at intersections but experience proves that carefulness must be forced on some of the people laws are made for the greatest good to the greatest number a principle which pervades all th lives thinking pe and us such the speedregulating laws should be regarded with much seriousness and consideration filonrih of churllo johnston of limiufoici formorly of

about it you live in a lovely country a visitor who was motoring back to toronto said after passing through sections of esquesing and nassagaweya the views of those ranges of hills and the green in the valleys is inspiring 1 wonder how much the people of this district think about it a real reason for wonder surely most of us are so much immersed inbusiness and household worries that we seldom take time or thought for the beauties in the world around us but the city man who spends nostof his time amid manmade things and the artificialities of presentday highlyoganized life is driven by the sheer beauty of it and the marked dissimilarity from his ordinary habitat to remark about it likewise the man who lives in a flat country is struck with the beauty which only comes in the rolling country such as holton presents in such measures it is this sort of thing which makes ntte really worth living7gettingawayfrolnthgrid of daily duties and thinking about tbb really fine things that we have as a heritage suppose we all think more about it and really rejoice in the glory we haye in natural beauty right here in and round about acton about that motor camp the ontario government tourist booklet which seems now to be an annual publication and which certainly does a great deal to bring in visitors from across the border has just been issued anu we under stand some fifty thousand copies are being circulated through touring bureaus motor clubs hotels and other agencies in the united states jjie list of motor camps at the back of the book is headed since it falhtfirst in alphabetical order with an item some thing like this acton camp on fairy lake boat ing bathing municipal water supply buildings for use in wet weather inow we are not aware who is originally responsible for this information but since the booklet is issued under government authority i willbe assumed by the tourist to be authentic and we have rathera humorous vision of campers impressions of our good little jown when they begin to inquire about the boating arid bathing isnt it flfemljimeaitheeiicrpress suggested several times jgjjabxitajnjwiuamistinpreparjng canadas last year that this matter of the motor camp be taken up seriously the location is there certainly and a splendid one but some definite provision needs to be made in the way of enclosure and di rective signs the traffic omheprovincial highway is quite dense enough to assure such a camp being used if it is known it cannot be anticipated that campers will stop when there is no local intimation that facilities for their comfort and convenience exist one knows several towns smaller than acton and with less favorable facilities where the motor camp idea has been developed seriously and has re sulted in a mightly worth while business for local merchants where people sleep they cat and in variably before a motor party starts put iirthc morn- ing they want to see the local shops and lay in the days supplies for the car as well as t for its passen gers the matter is worth the attention of the council at its next session i r and vividly d this great hi event the thing is done a quarter the star as follows oftcenturyof waiting hoping struggling has be come today an hour of palpitating joy the united church of canada was born to-day- its advent at tended by high revelry of rejoicing hearts not in terttple or cathedral nor amid longdrawn aisle and fretted vault echoing the note of praise but as if symbolic to make the place of its feet glorious the holy festivities were held within an area set apart to athletic prowess and physical endeavor now these do it to obtain a corruptible crown but we are incorruptible great and impressive was the scene eight thousand reverent souls were there they too but representative of the great host which no man could number from ocean unto ocean who have lived to see this day and seeing have rejoiced and who there bujc felt the clouds of witness the throng of men once like us with suffering tried but now with glory crowned who in the calm eter nities must have realized long since how trivial is so much that has divided us how sovereign so much that unites it is an hour for nataional pride and hope fnthehighest things of lif can has led the world precedent for this there is none the adventure is the sole work of these forwardlooking pilgrim and the pilgrims god blended forever are these three great churches now each living still each glorifying in the sacrifice of much that it might be possible for all to show to the world that nearness to christ means nearness to one another and to call the whole christian commonwealth to the yettobefulfilled hope and drrjam of the christian brotherhood of man one great line from an english poet beat

tho city of god the subsequent meetings from day to day of the 350 members of the council of the united church in the deliberations upon the plans for administration of the new united church have been fraught with a fine spirit of endeavor to ac complish in the best spirit of endeavor in the best possible manner methods of operation for the suc cessful carrying out of the functions of the union
