Vincent Massey said there already was talk of a probable third war. He hopeti the world would be spared such a war but experience showed a nation must not neglect its means of defence and the days were long gone when a nation's defence was limited to its shores and frontiers. The defence of the Western hemisphere must be prepared wherever there is a possibility of attack. The association of free nations hai a great role to play in maintenance of world peace and while each member of the British Commonwealth of Nations helti its own viewpoint and diti not always agree with the other members of the Coimmonwealth, they had a common policy on in- ternational questions. This fact, he saiti, did not im- ply they constituted a group act- ing as a bloc. They did, however, holti the same views on fundamen- tal things and above ahl, they be- lieved in their free institutions.

Yours sincerely, Eva anti Francis Sutton The Bible is the learned man's masterpiece, the ignorant man s dictionary, the wise :man'd- rectory.-Mary Baker Eddy. Make This a Saft As Weilna Merry Christmas Warning that a quick change in provincial weather conditions will resuit in a sharp rise in traf- fie accidents unless drivers andi pedestrians% exercise greater care, Hon. George Doucett, Minister of Highways, has issued an appeal to make this a safe as well as a Merry Christmas in Ontario". "Ontario's first real freeze-up each year invariably heralds a bad upswing in motor vehicle accidents, particularly in our cities andi towns,"ý Mr. Doucett said. "Right now i& a critical accident period. The traffic is very heavy due to the Christmas rush and the unusdal fine weath- er has proba'bly lulled 'many drivers into a false sense of se- curity. Wet weather, ice and snow, crowds of hurryN1g people and everybody thinking of Chris- tmas are accitient-making condi- tions which drivers and pedes- trians should keep in mind. An- other point to remember is that Ontario's peak hour for fatal traffie accidents is from 5 to 6 o 'dock in the evening. People are tireti then and hurrying anti in the winter months, the light and visibility is bati". The tr afic accident rate in Ontario is now averaging about 36 percent higher than the com- parative figures for 1945, accord- ing to Mr. Doucett, and to the end of September there were 453 people killeti and. 8707 in- jureti this year in motor vehicle accidents in the Province. "December isn't Ontario's worst month for fatal accidents," the Minister stated. "That usual- jy comes in October, but the De- cember record is bad' enough. In the last 16 Decembers there have been 886 people killed anti 14,- 287 injured in motor vehicle accidents in Ontario. Traffic accidents reached a. peak il 1941 when there were 801 deaths and 14,295 pergonal injuries. The December toil that year was 84 killed and 1286 injured." Child Accidents The Christmas holiday season, while not as serious as the schooi opening perioti in September, is a bad time for chilti accidents, Mr. Doucett reports. Over the 16 year period that comprehensive records have been kept by the Motor Vehicles Branch of the Highways depart- ment, an average of 7 children of 14 years andi untier have been killed and 130 injured every December in Ontario. The tol last year was 6 kilied and 139 injured. "Terrible at any time, there is something particularly tragic about chilti accidents in the Christmas season. The question is what can we do to prevent such accidents. The answer de- pends on everybody, including the chiltiren themseives.. Mr. Doucett gives six sugges- tions for making this a "safe as well as a Merry Christmas in Ontario." 1. Every driver, and there are over a million licensed drivers in Ontario sâhoulti remember two things: (a) in the Christmas holiday season there are nearly 650,000 children more exposed to traffic hazards than during the séhool'lterm and (b) the children have their minds on Christmas, play and pleasures. 2. Every pedestrian including ehildren should remember that the greatly increased traffic, poor visibiiity a nd unfavourable weather and roati surface con- ditions and crowds of hurrying people create added hazards. 4. Treat every parked vehicie as a danger-zone of hidden chilti- ren. Emergency braking on slip- pery pavement will not save lives. k -~ ICI éGG Jewelite Roll Wave Brush Available in delicate shades of sapphire, ruby or dia- mond-clear crystal.

Re- freshments contisting of turkey, mincepies, fruit cake, ice cream anti nîl the trimmîngs will be serveti. There will be a floor show. In Saint John, N.B., every sea- man in port will be inviteti to a turkey dinner in a gaily decorateti room containing a large Christ- mas tree on which there will be a gift for every man. On Christ- mas Eve a local choir will leati in the singîng of carols-anti if you 've neyer heard a group of merchant seamen singing carols anti sea chanties, you've something yet to hear! Brightly-coloreti Christmas pa- per will surrounti gifts of knitted articles prepareti by The Navy League women of Quebec anti every merchant ship leaving this port to be at sea on Christmas wilh be provideti with a full ditty bag for each crew' member. To 60 Canadian Naval engineers Who are standing by in Belfast, Ire- land, while the new Canadian air- craft carrier is being built, the Quebec Navy League has sent 60 Christmas bxes. Likewise, pa- tients in the n7aval Hospital at St. Hyacinthe will be remembered.

Ail Efforts Should Be Directed Toward Increased Production Employer-emphoyee contribut- ions to the Unemployment Insur- ance Funti matie in September, amounting to $5,994,253.84, were the highest for any September to. date, according to the state- ment for that month just releas- eti by the Unemphoyment Insur- ance Commission. The latest figures show an in- crease of $1,101,820.90 in the mon- thhy sum received by the Funti, over the corresponding month of hast year, anti of $453,875.70 over the average of the previous 8 months. By reason of the adoption of a new policy of closing expenditure figures at the end of the month insteati of on the 2th of the month as formerhy (which re- sulteti in an extra ten days' ben- efit payments being reported for September) benefits payments in September amounted to $3, 398,101.44, compareti with $2,858, 005.66 in the previous month. Also paiti into the Funti in September were the sums of $1, 198,850.77 contrîbuteti by the Dominion Governmeent and $600, 058.54 from the interest on in- vestments anti profit on sale of securities. The net increase of the Funti in September was $4, 395,061.71, bringing the balance at September 30th to $337,819,234. 70. Untier the Unemployment In- surance Act, the Canadian Gov- ernment pays all the costs of atiministering unemployment in- surance anti the National Em- ployment Service, in addition to its share of contributions to the Funti. This means that no ex- penses incurreti in the manage- ment of unemployment insur- aance are chargeti to the Funti. 'REGIONAL FAIRS TO FEED THE ROYAL Regional feeder fairs have been suggesteti as one way of ensur- ing smaller anti better livestock classes at the Royal Winter Fair. Presumably only the prize win- ners from the local shows woulti go on to the Royal. In this way the jutiges woulti be spareti time anti work in elininating the metiiocre entries anti the spec- tators a lot of ted'ious waiting. "Preliminary elimination at the Royal is essential both in the regular livestock entries anti at the Horse Show if this national exhibition hopes to function on schedule anti attract the crowtis," comments The Financial Post. "But it might be a serious mis- take to do ail the weeding out at local fairs. It is quite con- ceivable that even a third class winner in a certain breeti in one district might be far aheati of the best from another, anti there would, be no real competition if only the tops from each area were brought together." It is not enough to be busy; s0 are the ants. The question is: What are we busy about?-Thor- eau.
