[LI EH [HE E! Not Misled by Safety First Campaign. Peter McArthur, ih Toronto Globe. While in the city I was rallied several times because I have not been doing anything for many months about the level crossihg death-traps and the cam- paign to make the railways obey the law about giving signals. I guess I may as well eXplain why I stopped. I think I realize about as well as any- one else when. I am up against a stone wall. About a year and a half ago the Board of Railway Commissioners apâ€" parently lost interest in the question â€"-â€"at least along the line of my agita- tion. I wrote three letters to the board submitting evidence of infrac- tions of the law and inquiring if there is any way in which the rail- ways- can be made to obey without Hearing all the work of collecting evi- dence to the activity of private ‘citi- zens. I received post-cards from Sec- retary Cartwright, assuring me that in due course my letters would be con; sidered. Over a. year has passed since my last communication, and I‘ have received no reply. Even though I knew that people were being killed constantly on the level crossings I was ,patient, for I knew that the Commis- sionch were busy and were having their salaries raised and Were other- wise delayed. I cannot blame them much for not being interested in the question, for, as nearly as I can deter- mine, a majority of the citizens of the people on level crossings as one of the vested rights of the railways. Why can’t the people who are using the public highways 10ok out? I thrashed that argument to chaff a couple of years ago, and do not intend returning to it now. Many seem to be misled by the Safety First Campaign that the newspaper reports, that campaign has nothing to do with the giving of sig- - ,nals at dangerous crossings. v It has to ido with, the safety of~employees who might have rights under an employers’ liability act, and of passengers who are usually present in sufficient num- bers at an accident to be able to prove their cases. The lonely farmer, driv- ing on a country road, and perhaps meditating on the wonderful work . ithat the railways are doing in opening fiup the country and helping themselves jwhendt has been ripped open, receives ‘ no consideration.,. Yeah]; have dropped the subject for the present, but. if I ever see any way of taking it up ef- fectively again I shall be ready. Watchman-Warner Please Copy. In a recent issue the Gazette pub- lished a communication signed “Church- goer,” criticising the ventilation of our village churches. The Lindsay Watch- man-Warder, which has a nasty habit of copying items from other papers with- iout crediting them, appropriated the lished it, under the caption “ Our Medi- cine Bag,” as being written to the War- der by 3 Lindsay churchgoer, neglecting, however, to change the word “ village " .in the communication to “town.” Read- iersof the Warden were no doubt sur- prised to see Lindsay referred to as a village, especially in- a newspaper the proprietor of which is President‘ of the Lindsay Advancement Club. Now they know how it happened, and can form their own opinion as to which direction 'iLindsny-isadyancing in. The churches of the village. of Lindsay may or not b 2 properly ventilatedâ€"tho Warder's ven- ture was obviously a wild guess on that pointâ€"but a,little airing of the Warder's obliquity may have a beneficial efiect. Jake Killcopycot might feature it in the coming winter carnival. Fenelon Falls Council.- Regular meeting of council, Febru- ary 9th ;_» members all present and the reeve in the. chair.

Thurston and her brother, Mr. Thomas Martin, of Bobcaygeon, spent Tuesday with Mr, and Mrs. It. N. Mitchell, atthe Falls.

Burnt River Telephone Co. Prosperous The annual general meeting of the Burnt River Telephone Co, for the re- port of which we are indebted to the energetic Secretary-Treasurer, Mr. Sam. Suduaby, was held at'Burnt River on February 3rd inst. There was a fair. attendance of shareholders who take an interest intelephone work and exten- sion. The President reported thatbe- tween fiveaud six miles of new lines had beenbuilt during the past year and fifteen phones, put in.,, The treasurer's books as auditedfihowed- the-receipts of 1913 to have been $1439.34, of which $230 was for Stock sold and $135 for telephones installed for shareholders. sign orders for the same : E.

Howâ€" ever, the company has to be content to move along as it 'is able. While the company is paying a dividend of six'ipcr cent., it seems as if there should be‘ someone with public spirit (and money) tolmIp along the telephone movevn-‘nt. With past experience as an aid to such cessful future extended operations, there appears to be no reason why the company should not continue to pay a dividend equal to or perhaps better:“ than the dividend it has been paying. __..-. Hockey Tearnament. ' Three good games of hockey were the result of the tournament this week in the rink here. The extremely cold weather was no doubt largely reSpon- sible for the failureof more teams to I put in an appearance,- Little Britain and Victoria Road being the only not ' sidcrs present. The Fenelon Falls ju- nior team had no trouble in dispOsing of Victoria Road, and Little Britain, ss was expected, defeated the-home seniors, though not without a’ hard tussle, and afterWards won from the local juniors. . Little Britain will eon- sequently retain rhe cup for anothor year. The feature of the tournament was the work ofthe Fenelon Falls junior seven. They are a classy aggre- gation, and will be heard from next winter. ' Curling. Bobcaygeon won§out on the Stan- ton cup games by holding the Fenelon Falls rinks down toagain of nine shots on the second round. Bobcayh sgeon was eighteen up on: the first round, and therefore won by nine- shots . . . . . Fenelon Falls is‘one-up, on the McFadyen cup competition. with Lindsay, the first round of which was played last week. This, cup: has. been a rare visitor to__ the Falls, and? hopes are entertainedyof capturing it. this year. " " ‘ 7 I .4». _ ' Accidents. 0..
