Ilowever the present concern should be the urgency of having this agreemient set 1-p between th-e Township and the Village. HAZARDOUS WEEK-END Hazardoushiwa conditions nlwýays reach pea, when U.S. national holidays coincide with those in Canada. Peak traffie volumes, holiday moeods and unaccuatomied trip distancos, place severe de- manda on highny usera for patience, codrtesy aad attention. In most yeaýrs, only two sucli coinciding hiolidays occur - Labour~ D)ay and iChistmias. Theso are always dangerous perioda for road This year, many Canadian businesses have granted a holiday te terstaffs on Friday, July 2n(d,,-to ,rovide a long Dominion Day Sunday is Independence Day in the United States,,but the Oc- caýsion -will ho ceýlebrated on Mondny, tho, fifth.

GOVERNMENT RESPONSIBILITY FOR CARE 0F UNEMPLOYE.D The qulestion ef which governmtent nuthority if reopnil o the nemployed ia again raising its head. The question o)f which gcevernjment authority should act te create emi-ploymrent for those eýut cf work is again corniný to the fore. Those wvho 1lived thbrough the depression years of the thirties wiil recaîl hew these miatters were dehated with coniderahie acrimeony before a workable pattern o if ce- ooraien was estahlished. Tihese matters havýeagain been brouglit te publicenie, While Stheýtre l2 nothiing like the m-tensure of ýunemploymjent that there w,,as in the tht ehnda of mncplte are expressing concern about then. he Ontario Association of Reevos and Mayors lias brouglit the subject before the f'ederal government 'n a brie-f, asking for action by that body in the two directions mnentioned ahove. The ans- ergiven hy the federalý governmoent, disclaiminig responsibility for relief af unemployed, la exactly the, anme as was gilven in, the. ia instnce by the Ioderai governmient lu the;ý thirtieçs. Wo can recaîl, however, that when the impact of unemploymont relief on municipal and even provinial treasuries bpcamye uharbe the federal ge-vernment silowly changed ita view. it firally shared the cont (I relief witri the lower levels'o-f ge-vernmient. True, the country is not in anlother depression. But there is sufficienAt unempleyed te- make thje question of relief a prohlem whoen unemî ploymrent insurance benefits run eut. Should relief on a large scale ho necessary, the mnunicipalities, as in the th1irties, will ho f inane- lilly incapable of car,ýrying the burden. The provinces with their fixed soeurces of revenue, are net in a xuhbtter position. Therefore it ils logical that the fe'deralgoennt with its wide reveniue-rnis'-ing pewowrs, apd its corntrýll over trade and fiscal policios, should 'bear a large share aI the burden, and whnt is perhapa more important, it ~hudtake the initiative in promeoting sui publie, works as it can te relieve unemnpleymnent.
