Also to ask the Com-j mission to consider the advisability i of having an alarm system, such as | a wig-wag. installed right at the ■ meeting there or nearby. The accidents which have occurred at this crossing have been caused by the dri-I vers of the cars starting up so soon I as one train passed, only to be struck I by one coming in opposite direction.

It may only be a product: of the advertising campaign carried on by the California Fruit Growers Exchange, the biggest farm Co-operative in the United States, which markets 75% of the citrus crop in California. It may also be true that lettuce and eabfbage contain as much vitamine C as do oranges and prehaps no one cabbage contain as much vitamine C the individual requires but if you had to find a profitable market for 13,836 carloads of California Navel oianges between January the first and April the tenth, you wouldn't care as much as Johnny Bell does whether people ate lettuce or not provided that they could be persuaded that oranges were a necessary part of their diet. It has been figured out that in 1935. the people of Canada and the United States consumed 3.000.000.000 oranges. 2,600,000.000 lemons and 700.000.000 grapefruit or an average of 93 specimens of Citrus fruit per annum. These figures must be satisfactory to the California Fruit Growers or they would not have continued to advertise at the rate they have been doing for some time. Last year their advertising campaign cost $2,158,000.00. (A very much smaller sum than this would make everybody in Colborne afraid to keep louse without a supply of Bell's lettuce on hand). The Citrus Fruit industry of California, now second in extent only to the petroleum industry of that State, goes back, we are told, to 1873 when Mrs. Eliza Tibbets, Riverside, California, planted two navel-orange trees sent her by the Department of Agriculture and "so carefully did she tend-them that o-day after 64 years one of them is still bearing oranges. To-dav the entire acreage devoted to 'citrus fruit in this State is 320.000 and good prices tend to increase the acreage on which citrus fruit Is arown. But an increase of fruit, adds considerably to the worries of the President of the Exchange charged with the responsibility- of continuing to find profitable markets for this mounting production. Surplus coffee may be burnt but burnt coffee enriches no one nor do oranges allowed to go to waste benefit grower or consumer. Hence the energy thrown into the advertising campaign. And from the growers' point of view there is occasionally a lucky break, A frost in Florida benefits California. The imposition of sanctions on Mussolini as a result of his Ethiopian campaign rle.-reased the importantion of lemons intB. the United States. The war in of California. If you are anxious for your health anu at the same time anxious to help the California Fruit Growers dispose of 80.000 carloads of Citrus Fruit as they did in 1934, don'^ forget to includle lemons or oranges in your grocery order; if you are concerned only with your health, ask the grocer to send around an extra head of Bell's lettuce in- ^g^oi^ Drug Store THE BEST IN DRUG STORE MERCHANDISE Pepsodent Antiseptic Sale 2 50c bottles for 51c BRITEN TOOTH PASTE New Flotation Process Special--29c EXTRA SPECIAL 1 Fitch's Shampoo 55c and 1 Fitch's Hair Dress AH for 55c POND'S SPECIAL Large Jar Pond's Cream and Box Pond's Face Powder AH for 49c Frank Medico Pipes--$1.00 Cashmere Soap Special 2 for 11c Heinz's Baby Food -- 10c All Varieties Holy wood Wave-Set -- 15c Note Paper Pads Special 9c Eno's Fruit Salts, 47c - 79c W.

Dr. Herbert A. Bruce. The chairman of the Committee is H. G. Fester, general manager of the Safety League, and the secretary is Dalton J. Little. The Ontario Department of Highways is co-operating. Boards of trade, service clubs, and many large commercial land! social organizations are joining forces to make the White Cross stand for saf ety on the highway. The objective is to enlist two or three hundred thousand drivers of automobiles, buses, trucks and motorcycles in this campaign, which is known as the White Cross Safe Driving Movement. It later be extended to other prov- Dy affixing the emblem, to his car the motorist pledges himself to observe safe and sane driving practice. The emblems which are being supplied to the movement gratis by the Imperial Oil. Limited, are given to all licensed drivers of cars who will signify their willingness to observe the simple traffic rules contained In a booklet delivered with each White Cross emhlem. The emblems are available either in the form of metal plates to attach to the rear license marker, or on a transfer or "sticker" for the car window. By creating a frequency of reminder to the motorist on the highways it is hoped to create a greater consciousness of responsibility on the part of the White Cross drivers themselves, as well as influencing other drivers of motor ve-" icles to exercise greater care. Supplies of the emblems may be ;ceived by applying at the offices f some of the insurance agents of Colborne. or at the Express Office. vv'hatpver the parties may say, Ontario wants real liquor control and fewer tiigfc'way tragedies.
