As the radio speaker térsely 'put it--"A charming lady 'may 'own and -insure a car; her bootlegger husband and a gang ~ of thugs may drive it--fully insured." It certainly is reasonable to require that the person who may' cause an accident shall be the person who mus carry the accident insurance. * A more drastic demand is made by Major Smith when he proposes "To make fair indemnity avail- able to every motor traffic victim--by making it unlawful for anyone to operate an automobile on "any highway until he shows that he can pay for » the damage he does. Such propsals are drastic; but in view of the fact that more than 1000 Canadians are killed each year by automobiles; and there are now more than a million autos to control in Canada, the de-. mands in the interest of public safety do not seem unreasonable, y * 5 x 8 Political heckling is most unpleasant; but political -radio speeches without the opportunity for rebuttal are most dangerous, particularly among electors who do not take the trouble to read carefully, * * * LJ POLITICAL PATRONAGE "The 'problem' of* political patronage must be a most unpleasant one to any honourable parlia- mentary representative.

Tuesday to Friday of last week were convention days for the Provincial W. C. T. U. in Oshawa. This was the 4 Diamond Jubilee occasion. . Outstanding among the convention speakers was Rev. George Little, o Toronto. Dr. Little pointed out that the liquor manufacturer is never satisfied. The brewers' profits have recently been 100 and 136 percent. The private profits in the traffic are the great danger. The present government banned - liquor advertising in newspapers and the sale of beer and wine in restaur- ants. Many alternative methods have been: employed, however, the speaker « said, giving ample illustration. An afternoon tea apron was ex- hibited bearing one hundred and fifty recipes "for cocktails. - Beer jackets were another phase of beer advertis- ing; with bronze buttons in the form of beer barrels. These things show ow aggressive the brewers are--how * they influence the young to regard \ & social drinking as the smart thing.

Douglas had made a bet re- garding the election of Elliott or Mercer, The bet required him to wheel Tom Jackson (a man of 175 Ibs.) in a wheelbarrow from Caesarea to Port Perry (or vice versa). Frayer lost his bet, and paid it in good na- tured style. Some have been wondering who had the worst of the deal--Frayer or Jackson. To ride ten miles in a wheelbarrow does not sound very at- tractive to most of us. ~~ a ov ROYAL WINTER FAIR Export Meat Qualities to be empha- sized at Roval Fair this Fall.
