Dear Mr. James, On that "bright, beautiful Tueqday," 1, no rn-one é15c, did not-expcct you te "leap to the defence of ail long-hair- e, barded jyouing men." What I did e mrectand wat, was for you to brin g a dîcriinaoryact to the public eye. T1hatyo didi and I thank you. I1elz that probably nothlng will be -done, nor do I expect it.

It seems obvieus that the present traffîc regulations are net having the desired effect as a deterrent against >speeding. A $20, $30 or $50 fine, along wlth the loss cf a couple of peints is really uethiug more tban a siap on the wrists, wben oe cousiders tbe possible dangers învolved. Possibly, the, fines sbould be iucressed, or include a man- datory suspension of driving privileges, the length of the suspension depeuding on bow much over the limit the driver was travelling.

Unforturiately, ail of the Journals between the years 1834 and 1854 are missing, but t is possible, that they stili exist some-, where, perliaps ini a private collection.

Lastweek I wrote an idyllic col- umn about how peaceful and beautiful it was at Grandad's, eut iu the country, overlookîng the bay, quiet, restful and ail that guff. Il wasn't guif at the time, but it is now. It's neither peaceful or quiet arou.nd here,, though it's stîli beautif ul.' Yes, we're still here. On the eve of, our departure, my silly old woman stepped eut of the car, twisted ber siîîy old ankie and broke the silly old thing. We didn't kuew it until next day. I tbougbt it was probably a bad sprain. But on the morrow it was the shape and celer of a fully matured beet, se off te the hospitai for X-rays. That was quite an experieuce. It was eue of those dripping bot days, and also a Saturday. Normally, a small- town bospital is a pretty quiet place. But on a Saturday afternoon in mid- summer, in t-ourist country, the erner- gency ward is a bit of a mad-house. We were lucky. The girl at the desk had gene te scbool with my wife and bhad our names written dowu before I could open my mouth. Another sohool friend is a nurse, and though off duty, came iu sud helped in many ways. There was eue doctor and one medical student on the job. Iu poured the patients, and I couldn't help admir- îng the way the staff coped, iu the ap- palling beat.* I hope, Doc Leeson, another oid frieud, bad bis -breakfast that mornîug, becausý be, certainly didn't bave any lunch, Here's an Indian girl with a sick baby . Here's a twelve-year-old boy be- ing carried iu by a worried father, The boy bas ct t is leg badly. Teurists. Here's a young kid wbo bas burned bis hand badly. Here's a young feilow witb bis baud ail maugled. Here cornes a very' preguant lady, just about ready te pop. I see the doc in the office, a cup of coffee be's trying te snatch held in oe baud, phone iu the other. I kuow it's a bad eue, because be's lest bis joking, jovial, personal manner and looks grave. Two orderlies suld the medical stu-i dentl tear diowu thie hall in the direc- tion of the ambhulance garage. Flunuing, fiat e)ut. Sure euough, it is a bad eue.
