Accidents reported to our Provincial Compensation Board have shown a very large increase in 1923 over the same period in 1922: in tact each month in 1923 so far has averaged nearly 1,000 more accidents than in 1922. This must give considerable food for thought to management and men, for both employer and employee stand to lose time and money by the preventable accidents occurring in in- dustry today. It has been truly said “accidents do not happen, they are caused," and in many cases ft must be apparent that certain conditions or practices are bound to lead to ac- cidents. Por this reason those vitally Interested in industry in Canada, and that means all of us in the country, should take a share in securing great- er safety for all. The usual announcement is again timely regarding the mailing of Christ- mas packages. The suggestions, " tltough old, are) worth your consider- ation.

And certainly Christ's birthday should be as generously dealt with. It's "Christmas" in speech. Let It be so in writing. Brovlly may be the soul of wit, but abbreviation is not the soul of high sentiment and sacredncss that attach to Christmas. Why abbreviate the syllable that. carries its sacred mean- ing? Why make it "X"? Surely the ink or space- or trouble saved does not warrant marring aword thatholds such high place in heart and memory. Chances are that none of the three parties will have a majority over all, whether that will result in coalition romains to be Been. One thing sure ---Germany and her troubles are crowded oft the first page of tho dail. ies at prey-m. The idea that the hurry was to se- cure a Emap verdict before the other parties woke up, is hurting the Con- servatives in some quarters, helping in others with those who wish the attendant excitement as short as possible. Then there are not a few Conservative Free Traders, who dis like everything savoring of protec- tion. Premier Baldwin has predicted that the "people will win. Lloyd George saye "that it is not his Confidence. The Premier's hope is that the peo- ple will be beaten by triangular con- tests: his song of victory is played on the triangle," which catch word is stimulating the Liberal party. The great issue between the old parties is Free Trade and modified protection. Laborites are mostly Free Traders. but their mouths are wat- ering to win one plank peculiar}: theirs, viz: a levy on capital, on in. comes exceeding 5000 pounds or ap- proximately $25,000.

" the people of Durham and com. munity will not take an Intelligent m- terest in their own affairs, how can they expect to make a success of self- government? Over a large part of Europe the people seem to be sur- rendering their right of self-govern- ment as if they had no appreciation of it. The people of Canada are bet. ter equipped tor self government than many of the peoples of Europe and so far they have done. fairly Well. ibut even in Canada there is real danger in the consequences of ne- glect and indifference. Ind1tterenee in regard to municipal affairs may be an indication of more serious trouble. A prominent church official [on years ago started an international movement to abolish the sending of Mwerts to funerals. He said "Take the roses and put them, not on mu coffin, but in the lapel of the coat of the laboring man on his way to work." Let the various Halls on Nomintv tion Day this year be filled with an interested array of electors for this is a form of loyalty of the purest type. is to be hoped that conditions will change. A few people will always be found in every community to take an inteligent interest in the commun- ity's business: but the majority re- quire some special inducement, some exciting stimulant. The danger, of course, is that when the tight becomes' too hot, the real merits of the pub- lie issues are likely to be forgotten.

Miss Mary Lamb is busy training the children for their school concert to be held in the near future. Mr and Mrs H. Trattord. visited their daughter, Mrs Jas Miller on Sunday. Miss May Mitchell, Mount Forest, was a visitor the beginning of the week with her sister. Mrs Neil Mc- Lean. _ Mrs Geo. Campbell, Durham, was a welcome visitor with her niece, Mrs L. McLean, one day lately. The U. P. o. held their annual meet- ing in the schoolhouse last Friday night and there. was a very large at. tendance. The election of omcers and other business was transacted very satisfactorily. Mrs Arthur Edge was on the scene and organized a U. F. W. o., the tirtst meeting to be held at the home of Mrs Thos. Turnbull on Friday afternoon, Dee. 16th. at 2 p. m. The young people also organiz- ed a U. P. Y. P. 0., so without a doubt the U. F.0. has not lost interest at the Rocky. Luvlla.
