SUBSCRIPTION RATES: In Canada--$1.50 per year in advance In Uniced States--$2.00 per year in advance LEISHMAN & SUTHERLAND PUBLISHERS This is the season when the greatest danger to life and limb is to be found in the crowded con- dtition of the Streets and roads owing to the ever increasing mo- tor traffic. travelling that has been invented | | in recent years and has beén one; considerably of the greatest improvements ot/ modern times, but with it has, come a greater amount of danger ; and the need for a greater a- mount of caution. Haileybury is| so situated that a great propor-| tion of the traffic by motor in the district through her streets, but fortunately, the acci-| dents from this cause have been rare. However, | there is great need for caution] and only by eternal vigilance on the part of the pedestrians, and constant caution on the part the motorists, have serious acci-| dents been avoided. | Each of the three towns, passes comparatively c vr] Co-} halt, Haileybury and New Lis- keard, has apparently its own particular problem. Cobalt has} the well known "peril at the gate| way" which that town has beet} trying for years to eliminate, the| Lang Street crossing, New Lis-} keard has the winding street car; line through its business section, and Haileybury has the position of being between the two and thus having perhaps a greater a- mount of traffic on her streets. The majority of the accidents in which serious injury death | have taken place, have occurred on the roads outside of the towns. This is perhaps owing to the re>| strictions as to speed which are in force in the towns and the that all drivers show a certain a- mount of caution when there are people around, but in spite of this there is danger from acci- or aie THURSDAY, AUGUST 5th, 1926! The motor car is one; | of the most convenient means of; fact| by overcoming dents every day. Last week a small child had a very narrow escape from death or serious injury on the streets of Haileybury and a lady at New Liskeard was struck by one of the Nipissing Central cars at the main corner in New while dodging a motor, Either 1of these cases might easily have resulted in a fatality. The only {way to avoid accidents is for all 'the people, both those on foot and in vehicles, to be eternally ,on the lookout for danger. Each !one'should try to think of the |other fellow and endeavor to live jand let live. | =a The campaign against weeds on the streets of Hailey- bury and on the yacant lots, Which started in proper shape this week, has already brought results and the town presents a improved appear- ance. There is much to be done vet, however, and there should be no let-up for another week or two if the desired result is to be obtained. By the united efforts of the citizens, working in junction with the council, the Board of Trade and the Horticul-| tural Society, the town can be cleaned up and the weed Muisance at least be overcome. A thorough clean-up of the streets and vacant lots this year will make the work a great deal easier next year and in years to come and the town of Haileybury can be made a real place of beauty. paent Saeare Following the Balsam Lake tragédy a couple of weeks ago, in which eleven young men _ lost their lives, there have been ar- ticles in every newspaper and periodical on the dangers of the canoe. Various schemes. have been suggested whereby both war canoes and the smaller and more commonly used ones may be made safer. There bas been a, Wednesday and Thursday great deal of information given] out, which if profited by, should tend to lessen the accidents from this cause, but the greatest need of all is education along safety lines. The great majority of the accidents are due either to care- lessness or inexperience and only these can the canoe he made generally safe. The tendency to take risks is in- herent in almost every man and little heed is paid to the necessity Liskeard} | the con-} of becoming thoroughly familiar with a canoe, practised swimmer, before taking to the water in one of these frail craft. - Considering the very general use of the canoe by woodsmen in | this North Country, there are very few drownings.

KING BY HIS ACTIONS SAYS "NO" yy Mr. King, the late Prime Minister, after the last election found his party to be no longer the largest group in Parliament. ~He found the Conservative s party, led by Mr. Meighen, comprised the largest group, and that the Conser- a vative party had polled over half the popular vote in Canada Ignoring the voice of the people, Mr. King advised the Governor-General that he could carry on the business of the country, with the aid of certain Progressive Members of Parliament, members whose support he had pur- chased with promises of legislation. Mr. King found that His advice to the Governor-General was wrong and that he could not command a majority in Parliament, and in addition was facing a vote of censure in the House for the discreditable manner in which his - Government had administered the affairs of the country. ; Mr. King then did what no British Premier has ever had the gall to do before --he went to the Governor-General and asked for dissolution. This was after he had assured the Governor-General he could carry on the Govern- ment and command a majority in the House and failed, after his party had been defeated in the last election and just prior to Parliament passing a vote of censure in the House. - The Governor-General refused to grant Mr. King dissolution under these circumstances. Mr. King claimed this as a right which he said the Gover- nor-General should not refuse. =e Had the Governor-General granted dissolution to him under these circum- stances, our system of Government would have become a farce. The people would not have the right to say which party should govern and we would have a country ruled by a Dictator in the person of a Prime Minister instead of by the representatives of the people. > The Governor-General's decision was correct, as is borne out by the fact that on the 30th day of June, being the day following Mr. King's resignation, a "motion by Mr. King of want of confidence was defeated-in the House by a vote of 108 to 101. The Governor-General's action was for rule by the people, under British € Rockies, before the motor car age. Lower Left--Modern sight-seeing cars of today.

As the evening shadows began to lengthen across the Bow Valley in the Canadian Rockies on the last day of May, a diminutive time-worn, rust-bitten, two cylinder motor car of 1902 vintage chugged through the portals of the Rockies into Banff, there to join thé throng of motor cars on Banff Avenue and unwittingly form a historic pageant indicating the developments in motor transportation during twenty-four years. , 'As it happens at such times, the shades of the past arise to refresh the memories of old-timers and bring forth reminiscences indicating the progress. made within recent years. And so with the shades of the past evoked by one of the first "horseless car- riages." mingling with its glittering brothers of the modern age, f When it too glittered with newness the mountain valleys knew not the odor of gasoline and the or- dered roar of the exhaust, the old-timer onlookers said.

Thirty-six thousand motor cars, serene 126,000 holidayers, passed through the gates of the Kootenay and Banff National Parks dur- ing the same season: On June 16, the new Lake Louise to Field Highway was opened to the motorist, uniting the three na- tional parks by motor road and increasing the grand total of modern highway in the mountaihs to approx- imately 230 miles.
