Deâ€" partment of Highways officials are urging all motorists to watch out for children now that they are again going to and from school on the streets and highways. Each season of the year has its own special hazards and with peak holiday travel now about finished, it is the youngsters on foot and on bicycles who are most in danger. > Since August ended, death has continued to ride the streets and highways. With 14 lives taken over the Labor Day weekâ€"end, Ontario faces the unwelcome prospect of chalking up the blackest year on record. Never was there greater need of the constant use of care, eourtesy and common sense behind the wheel and on foot. "A lesson from history" appears in Newsâ€" week, June 27, 1949, under the byâ€"line of Henry Hazlitt, who comments: A grim total of 489 deaths is Ontario‘s traffic accident record for the first eight months of 1949. August accounted for 94 deaths, same number as August, ‘48, but the death toll for the 8â€"month period is the highâ€" est on record. Death took five at one blow in mn endâ€"ofâ€"theâ€"month level crossing smash, while two more lives were forfeited in a gimilar accident the same day. Ten other accidents each accounted for two deaths. An unusualy number of August‘s fatal accidents were caused by drivers losing control of their own vehicles. VICIOUS CIRCLE â€" For aâ€"great many people, the first few weeks in September are just as important as New Year‘s as far as making resolutions is eoncerned. For the business men, the fall rh startsâ€"no more, ‘"Sorry, Mr. So and So on holidays". Housekeepers settle down, with no more lick and promise houseâ€" DEATH TOLL But here it is the middle of Septemberâ€" the exact middle. Is the first fall enthusiasm fading a bit already? Take a few deep breaths of the clear autumn air and perk up your determination a bit. September is the time for new things. Everyone changes & bit in the summerâ€" maybe it‘s tan or the new fish stories or accounts of â€"the places you‘ve seen. But this is the time of year when nobody is surprised by a change.. It‘s a less conspicuous time to earry out those resolutions that are generally tried on the first of January, at the risk of being made fun of. » Hundreds and hundreds of students, tog, make con’g:ete new beginnings each Sepâ€" tember. e first fall issue of Canadiar High News contains an editorial about fall stockâ€"taking for the students. It sufgests that they remember, or even ask a friend, what was wrong with them last year, and then correct it. The first few weeks of a new school or even a new year in the old one present a wonderful opportunity to carry out resolutions about yourself. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1949 SEPTEMBER ENTHUSIASM Pilgrim Fathers landed on the shores of Massachusetts they established a Comâ€" munist system. Out of their common proâ€" duct and storehouse they set up a system of rationing, though it came to ‘but a quarâ€" ter of a pound of bread a day to each perâ€" son‘. Even when harvest came, "it arose to but a little." A vicious circle seemed to set in. The people complained that they were too weak from want of food to tend the €rops as they should. Deeply religious though they were, they took to stealing from each other. "So as it well appeared, writes Governor Bradford, "that famine must still insue the next year allso, if not some way prevented." _ "So the colonists, he continues, ‘begane Keep the Kiwanis Safety Campaign in DUNCAN M.

"Private radio interests are prepared to put up the necessary money to provide Canadians with televigion," said the brief, ‘"but they must be given a free hand to develop this new art without having to compete commercially with a subsidized national system." EDITORIAL BRIEFS The "I" specialist is hard on the ears. Now that many people have had an opâ€" portunity to view a television set in operaâ€" tion locally, the interest in the future of television is growing. Few, very few indeed, are the number of television receivers being used in this district by private citizens. One reason given by many is that the price of a set is steep considering that there are no Canadian TV transmitting stations and only one or two American stations can be picked up under favorable conditions. Behind all this lies the fight which privately owned »radio stations have been waging with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. It is hoped that some solution to the problems may be worked out when the findings of the Massey Commission are announced. The Commission began its job of collecting information on national developâ€" ment in the arts, letters and sciences. Among the chief problems to be considered, radio and television occupy a prominent place. For radio: 1, revision of the Canadian Broadcasting Act, 1936 ; 2, recognition that a system of private radio exists in Canada; 3, private stations be given equal rights with the CBC if the CBC is to continue in the comâ€" mercial field; 4, establishment of an indeâ€" pendent regulatory authority to administer rules and regulations equally for CBC and private station‘s; and 5, the right of appeal against decisions of such an authority insofar as these relate to legal interpretations. _ For television: 1, permission fox private enterprise to enter the television field imâ€" mediately; 2, regulation of televi by the independent authority proposed for radio; 3, a licence for private television stations for a term of years in relation to the tremendous financial and other risks involved; 4, free and full access to program material by line, kinescope and film from every possible source; and 5, that the CBC should not enter the commercial television field. The Canadian Association of Broadcasters, voice of privately owned radio stations, in presenting its case to the Massey Commission recommends the following: THE FUTURE OF TELEVISION "For the yongâ€"men that were most able and fitte for labour and service did repine that they should spend their time and streingth to worke for other mens wives and children, wit out recompense. The strong; or man of parts, had no more in devission of victails and cloaths, than he that was weake and not able to doe a quarâ€" ter the other could; tly,s was thought injueistice . . . "And for men‘s wives to be commanded to doe service for other men, as dressing their meate, washing their cloaths, etc., they deemed it a kind of slaverie, neither could many husbands well brooke it . . . â€" "By this time harvest was come, and instead of famine, now God gave them plentie, and the face of things was changed, to the rejoysing of the harts of many, for which they blessed God. And the effect of their particuler (private) planting was well scene, for all had, one way and other, pretty well to bring the year aboute, and some of the abler sorte and more indusâ€" trious had to spare, and sell to others, so as any generall wante or famine hath not been amongest them since to this day."

September is a month of beginâ€" nings, and life is always eager to begin‘ afresh and do better than before. We began worship in our own church the first Sunday in September and how pleasant it was to see our formerâ€"friends and feel the intangible fellowship of those who worship God habitually as His Family. Then last Sunday it was the beginning of the Church School and the overflow fairly staggered our teachers and officers, and we are already beginning to push out the walls for space. But next Sunâ€" day it will be the beginning of our Young People‘s Union on Sunday evening. The opening program inâ€" cludes the most popular youth leader in Weston, Mr. Gordon Wood, as speaker, and will be supâ€" plemented by special musit, games and plenty of comradeship. The new generation of youth will meet immediately after the .evening service, say about 8 p.m., and Ralph Draper, the president; hopes to â€"see you there, every one of you. The committee in charge first night is Helen Eddy, Vie Tweedy, Jim Coulter and Betty Mark. Spot of Next Sunday mee&ings at 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. will be conducted by Capt. and Mrs. Carter, assisted by the Band and Songsters. Sunday School at 3 p.m. will study Jesus‘ parable ‘"The Ten Virgins" in Matthew 25:â€"1â€"13. Verse to learn is Mark 13: 17, "And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch." Monday, Sept. 19, at 8 p.m. will be the annual Fireside and wiener roast at Cruickshank Park, Weston. An interesting program is being arranged. Tickets may be obtained from Capt. Carter. Young and old are invited. Other weekâ€"night acâ€" tivities as usual. Twentyâ€"eighth anniversary meetings will be conâ€" ducted by Lt. Colonel and Mrs. A. E. Ramsdale on Saturday and Sunâ€" ‘day, Sept. 24 and 25 in the citadel. Saturday at 8 p.m. a musical proâ€" :gtam by the Temple Band, followâ€" ed by a reception in the Young People‘s hall. Meetings on the Sunâ€" day led by our American visitors will include 11 a.m., Holiness meetâ€" ing with the dedication of Lawrâ€" ence Gordon, infant son of Capt. and Mrs. Carter; 3.15 p.m., Festival of Praise by the Mt. Dennis Band and Songsters, guest vocal soloist, Margaret MacFarlane, ATCM; 7 p.m., Salvation meeting. Plan now to attend these special events. Attendance and interest on Rally Sunday at the Salvation Army in Mount Dennis was most encouragâ€" ing. The band was on duty early playing for the patients and staff in the grounds of the Weston Sanaâ€" tortum. The Corps was honoured in the morning service by an unâ€" expected visit from Commissioner and Mrs. Orames, recently retired from active Army service as Terâ€" ritorial Commander in Canada and member of the International Reâ€" search Council of the Salvation Army. Attendance at Sunday School was back to preâ€"summer level and plans are being laid to boost every department of the young people‘s work. Harding Ave. United At Harding Avenue United on Sunday, Sept. 11, the minister, Rev. Gordon Legge, took his subject from Ephesians 6, speaking of the Christians‘ fight and closing the service with "Onward Christian Soldiers". Next Sunday, Sept. 18, the Sunday School will start mornâ€" ing sessions at ten o‘clock with church service at eleven. > Central United Salvation Army r The Gospel (St. Luke 17: 11) which records the healing of the Ten Lepers further shows how dependent upon God‘:.fr‘u man is in his sinful nature. Standing "afar off" as unclean therefore banished from human society, the lepers are a picture themselves of the moral defilement with which the Epistle is concerned. The extremity of the misery of these unfortunate men drives them to Christ Who alone could deliver them. To know our sinfulness is the first step towards knowing the Saviour. When misery has led us to Him and we receive His cleansâ€" ing.power, gratitude must send us back to Him again and again. In this fellowship with Christ we find renewed strength and grace to conquer the world, the flesh and the devil. The Collect bids us pray for the three Christian graces, faith, hope and charity, that we may learn to love the commandments of God and thus obtain His gracious promises. the flesh". In this conflict neither can have matters all its own way but by obedience to theâ€"Spirit, the flesh can be restrained and overcome. "Wflhmhlflt“wwlymhhhdm.

Last Sunday morning many of the Bible school scholars reâ€" mained for the morning service as has been their custom throughout the summer. For many of the Sunâ€" days, spécial children‘s speakers have,brought interesting and varâ€" ied Bible stories. At the worship hour Pastor Whitelaw has includâ€" ed items of interest for the childâ€" ren present. One Sunday the messâ€" age was about four creatures who were little but wise. The ant alâ€" Next Sunday evening the special preacher will be the Rev. Tom Greenwood, rector of the Church of the Holy Trinity, Yellowknife, N.W.T. Mr. Greenwood will have an interesting story to tell concernâ€" ing the amazing developments that are taking fil,lce in the new mining area in the Yukonâ€"Mackenzie River district. Yellowknife stands on the northern arm of the Great Slave Lake and is fast becoming a modâ€" ern town replete with all facilities enjoyed in the cities and towns across Canada. The missionary labours of Mr. Greenwood covers hundreds of miles of territory, most of which he covers by plane. A thriving church community has been built up in Yellowknife and Mr. Greenwood will relate his exâ€" periences in this northland outpost of Canada. _‘ The Sunday School is meeting at 2 p.m. and new scholars are welcomed.

What People Buy Correlative citations from the Christian Science textbook, "Scienâ€" ce and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, included the following from pages 330 and 468: "God is infinite, the only Life, substance, Spirit, of Soul, the only intelligence of the universe, including man. Truth, Life, and Love are substance, as the Scriptures use this word in Hebrews: ‘The substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.!

It can easily be applied and accurately to get a desired etiect in the homes as well as in any business. But color can be a source of trouble, this specialist stated.
