"The death - toll on Canada's highways is equivalent to a perpetual state of war," was the comment of H. G, Fester, general manager of the Ontario Safety League, ' URGES INSTRUCTION Mr. Fester urged instruction be given in the schools on traf- fic hazards and safe driving. Rhode Island schools gave such a course, he said, with the result that the graduated pupils, in more than 7,000,000 mjles of driving dent, Attorney-General Gordon: Con. ant called a conference of law- enforcement officers and organi. zations interested in traffic saf- ety. "The situation with regard to traffic accidents in the province, and particularly the number of fatalities, is a matter of grave concern for all our citizens, and dspecially for, law enforcement officers and those interested iin motqr transportation and safety measures," the attorney-general said. He directed that hit-and. run drivers be charged under the Criminal Code, "whenever there is reasonable justification for such procedure." NIGHT ACCIDENTS Alderman. Dr. Millen of To- ronto pointing out that some 650 per cent. of accidents occur at night though only one-quarter of * the daily traffic volume is on the road then, advocated in city council a reduction of the speed limit for night driving to 25 miles per. hour, Reduced visibility, in the alderman's opinicn, made the 80. mile rate at night too high. He Bagged A Nazi. He A tiny tramp steamer, while proceeding in convoy in the North Sea, was swooped upon by a heavy Heinkel 111, which sprayed the decks -with a- murderous Hail of machine-gun bullets. Bosum Gun- ner Sundin stuck to his post in face of the devastating fire and held his fire until 'the Heinkel was in his sights, he let rip with all the bullets in his Lewis gun magazine and sent the Nazi plane plunging into the sea. : Find Pilots Have Ability In Music Scientist Tells of Important Aviation Research in Torofi- to hb The University of Toronto is the empire centre of research in 8 work which may well establish - the difference between victory and defeat in 'the air, Dr. H.

PRINTED TEXT, Luke 13: 135, 10-17, : GOLDEN TEXT--We have not a high priest that cannot he touched with the feeling of our Infirmities. Heb. 4: 15. THE LESSON IN IT8 SETTING Time, -- November-December, AD. 29. . 2 Place.--Peraea, that part of Pal ostine which was east of the Jor- dan River, opposite Judah. ie In this lesson we find continual emphasis on Christ's desire to turn the attention of all men to the subject of thelr own individual, personal salvation} and away from speculating about what will happen to other people, uhtil they have determined in their own hearts to be right with God, Men are as.lost "today as when Jesus was here, and just as He desired to save men then, so He desires to save men now. "Except v8 Repent" Luke 13: 1. "Now there were some, present at that very season who told him of the Galllaeans, whose 'blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices." We have no record of the particular massacre which these hearefs now report to our Lord, but these pilgrims. from Qalilee doubtless had come up to Jerusalem for one of the Feasts, probably Tabernacles, and had come into collision with the Romans, perhaps through some fanatical act of rebellion. 2. "And he answered and sald unto them, Think ye that these Galilacans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they have suffered these things? 2, I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall "all in like manner perish. 4. Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them, think ye that they wero of- tenders above all the men that dwell in Jerusalem? 6. I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, yo shall all likewise perish." What our Lord is here doing is warning his audlence that they should not first be concerned about distress that has happened to others, speculating concerning the cause for such, and concluding that 'those destroyed were particularly wicked men, but rather that they should look into their own hearts, discovering their own wickedness, until they realized that'they too were worthy of sim- flar' disaster and sudden death, un- less they repented. To "repent" fundamentally, to turn around, to. change one's mind, and then, to change one's way of liv ing. Repentance means more than being sorry for one's sin, it means to deliberately turn from - one's sins. Healing, and Teaching of the synagogues on the sabbath day. 11.

Two (things our Lord did. 'He spoke 10 hor and He Iald his hinds on her. He separated her agoguo, just as He separates every steal Instrument," He sald.

The Sabbath Day 14. "And the ruler ot the syn- "agogue, being moved with indigna. tion because Jesus had healed on the sabbath, answered and sald to the mutititude, There are six days in which men ought to work: fn them therefore come and be healed, and not on the day of the sabbath," This official was the | chief af the elders who formed the local Sanhedrin. Though only first among his equals, the virtual rule of the synagogue devolved upon him. That the daring Innovator, Jesus, should perform one of his Sabbath-breaking cures there was too much for him. 156. "But the Lord answered him, and sald, Ye hypocrites, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or bis ;gss from the stall, and lead him away to watering?' Surely ono of 'God's chosen people was of more value than an ox: to be tled to a manger which dally ylelded food was nothing to the bondage fn which this woman .was held. Made For Man The Sabbath rest, meant for man's good, had been turned Into .an intolerable yoke. of evil by these hypocrites , . These men wero pre- tending zeal for the Sabbalh, while they were really moved by anger at the miracle, which would . have been equally unwelcome "on. any day of the week. They were pre- tending that their zeal for the Sab- bath was the result of their geal for God, while it was only zeal for their rabbinical niceties, and had no religious element at all. 16. "Add ought not this. woman, belng a daughter of, Abraham, whom Satan had bound, lo, these eighteen years, to have been loos- ed from this bond on the day of the sabbath? 17. And as he said these things, all his adversaries were put . to shame: and all the multitude rejolced for all the glorious things that were done by him."

Hot Temper Is Handicap Loses Friends; Better Learn to "Take It on the Chin" An uncontrolled temper is costly. By it one may loge friends. On its account many a youth and adult denies himself success at school or at work, Many a job is lost in a temper. MANY A JOB LOST Nearly every one of us has fac- ed experiences when we were sure we were unjustly treated by a "bess". But when wise we have also learned to hold our tongues. We must learn "to take it on the chin", Let us always count the cost first, and not let our passion, get the better of us, . Many a child 'or whole family must endure grave bardships .be- cause the father-breadwinner, in a fit of temper, lost his job. A certain young father of two little children, who drove a milk wagon; desired one day to see a base- ball game. He drove his wagon outside a drug store, telephoned his boss but was denied permis- sion to go that day. In violent rage he rammed, the receiver onto the hook, left the horse and wag- on standing there and went to the game, It was a long while be- fore he found another job.

Hitch-hiking also is unsafe for every pedestrian in these days of heavy traffic. The Canadian people do not desire to see their men of the fighting services exposed to these condi- tions; they feel that, with the rail- ways available, and the sums that are being spent on the war, the country's finances are not go- ing to be impaired by providing free rides in trains which often are half empty anyway. Butter Dearth Fear Needless Many Canadians Have Stock- ed Up And Antipodes Stores Always Available As in the last war, when butter was very high of price, so today, when the price is not so high but rising rather ominously, Canadian householders are shown in many cases as having taken time by the forelock. They have been storing up. It may be the 60-pound box or crock, but many creamerles {rom all over report to the regufiting authority at Ottawa that a lot of this has been going on since the early fall. Thus, it is figured That the quan: tities referred to In the slatistics™ as being in public storage--about 42,000,000 pounds -- Is far from the whole picture. Thousands of pounds aro reported to be in cellars or out on the balconies, in cases where colder refrigeration fs need: ed. Every hox or crock-put away will by that much, lessen the con- sumer demand for butter at the corner . groceries. MANY PUT AWAY BOXES The War Price Board fs not worrying about any shortage of this -essential fat. Nor is it con- sidering rationing or the thinning of cream, ice cream, or the skim- ming of milk for table use.
