toy can be forecast with- confidence now that the prime minister has given to the bouse ot commons a complete statement the main points are 1 canada wlfl cooperate to the limit of- her power and resources with brit- am and prance in ihe struggle now raging tn- europe 3- the present liberal administration wfll not introduce compulsory military service believing that the interests of the country on balance are against the move and that under the circum stances voluntary effort will be more productive than a regimented system 3 oanadafe contribution in the first of the war will consist of tbe and sending of air forces in over from the british fleet the protection of canadian and adjacent allied shores in the manufacture and dispatch of aircraft and parts in the production and forwarding of vast quantities of foodstuffs and munitions of war no largescale expeditionary force is envisaged at the present time 4 canada will participate to the full in the economic warfare against ger many by seeking to prevent the ship ment of any goods to germany or the purchase of german goods 8 a determined drive to prevent war profiteering will be made in a passage of great vigour prime minister mac kenzie king branded those who would profit upon the misfortunes of human ity as mentbers ot the underworld 6 the premier promised canada that political patronage for contracts would receive his own personal and de termined denunciation he undertook to abandon all political manoeuvering in pursuing the prosecution of the war a stirring debate last fridays debate in the house of

known whether the council has considered making any change tn the parking bylaw on the main st or not it might be suggested that angle pg on one side of the street would allow a greater number of cars to be parked on busy days now that the street has been made constderahly wider angle parking on one side would in our opinion be a greater service to the public white bnes could be painted on the pave ment to avoid confusion and alot the proper parking distances and safety ones for pedestrians crossing the street and distances required for park ing from water hydrants could also be while this is just a suggestion we believe even more people would come to georgetown to do their shopping on open nights could they park tibdr cars on the main st instead of hav ing to park a conslderabe distance from the business section workmens compensation statement the number of accidents reported to the workmens compensation board during the month of august was 5645 this being the largest number report ed during any one month this year to date and compares with 5242 reported during july and 5 738 during august last year which showed the largest number during any month of 1938 the awarded amounted to

has a much greater chance of succeeding in his studies and or being happy in his school life the doctor should not only examine the child to correct physical shortcom ings but also to recommend the propel things to eat to build up resistance against disease this will be of special value when the child comes into con tact with other children who may have a communicable disease fortunately immunity can be provided in two of the most serious of such diseases smallpox and dlptheria hence the parent of a child entering on school life should see that the child is vac cinated and given toxoid treatment if this protection has not already been provided toxoid to prevent dlptheria should be given of course as soon after a child is six months old as possible but many parents neglect this until the child goes to school certainly then it should be delayed no longer your printing please the herald will be glad to have your order for letterheads and envelopes in fact for anything

lihseases its sales and throws it effects into lurid and tragic relief canadas bill for legal purchase ot liquor in the last year of record is on a conservative estimate 173 mil lion dollars how much illicit sales if their total could be ascertained would increase this sum can only be guessed but undoubtedly they are very considerable already since the outbreak of the war press items from britain
