There seems to be gencral agreement that the death roll from automobile accidents in Canada is appalling. Yet little seems to be done to curb the menace. Many Canadian towns and cities are boasting these days about the fact that they have conquered that former dread disease, diphtheria. Is there no serum, no innoculation that will do something to reduce the number of deaths chargeable to careless driving of automobiles. . One of the chief troubles at present seams to be that despite all the talk in the newspapers the menace of the evil driver is not really realized as it should be. Thire are people whoe are still ready to argue that the speeder is not necessarily a danger to life and property, Or to find excuses for the drunken driver. There are countries with greater loss of life from automobile accidents than from war wh> support peace societies but have no organization for the prevention of slaughter by mOtor. The motor car and the motor truck are more than conveniences. They may be termed essentials to modern life and progress,. Therse is nothing to say against the automobile. For this reason it sible effort to hear it on Thursday evening. He could not hear it without "blurring" and "noises" so long as he tured in on the Canadian stations that sponsor this cutstanding orchestra. People who do not understand radio may say:â€" "Oh, yes! more of that local interference." No doubt one local man curses electric refrigerators, barbers‘ clippers and so on. But the truth is that the local gentleman evenâ€" tually enjoyed the Melodic String crchestra. He secured excellent reception, clear andâ€"complete, by tuning in on the United States National Broadcasting System, which was also broadcasting this feature. This proves that what was necded was not something to remedy local interference, but a relay station powerful enough to assure rezception in this part of No ble and matter of fact local interference is nSt a serious matter tor the simple reason that as soon as it becomes particularly objectionable a call will bring the inspector here and there will be considerable improvement at once. Probably the form of interfergence that caused the most recent annoyâ€" ance was the fact that the local radio station was "all cver the dial" and prevented the proper reception of acceptable stations. The visit of the radio inspector seemed to remove this annoyance at once. It is interesting indeed, to note that before the petition about interference was well under way, the matter of interference had been dealt with so tatr as possible by the radio inspector. An incident related to The Advance by a Timmins radio Just as there was attempt to besloud the issue two years ago, so the present agitation for a government station is met with all sorts of efforts to sidetrack the issue. When J. A. Bradette, M.P,. who has always taken a keen interest in radio and has sincerely endeavoured to secure a Square deal for radio owners, sought to secure support to his stand in parliament by way of a petition to secure better radio service for the North, the matter was twisteq by certain local people into an apparent effort to further fasten priâ€" vate mcnopoly in radio on the North. whole trouble was due to interference," was the suggestion made, As a matter of fact local interference is nSt a serious matter for the simple reason that as soon as it becomes particularly objectionable a call will bring the inspector here and there will be considerable improvement at once,. Probably the form of interference that caused the most recent annoy-‘ ance was the fact that the local radio station was "all cver, ult s > P P P PPAAA PAAA P Cz we AskK 1s a govEtT tainly do ask that ment i propeCl GOIIlIllisS}iJILl obdliUIl dL SUVIIIC JJRIALAL | in this territtry rather than the granting of additicnal facilities to miniature stations which fail to satisfy even| local demands where they are located. The needs of this great northern area and its large and steadily growing popuâ€" latisn should receive consideration by the radio authorities." than two years ago when the question of petitioning the government to establish a radio relay station for the North came before the Northern Ontario Associated of Trade, the reply to the wellâ€"grounded argumEnts in faâ€" veur of the installation of such a station took the form of creating division among those who urged the government station. Some wisheq to have the station located near Bourke‘s: others suggested North Bay; some thought Timâ€"| mins a more central location. The Northern Tribune, Of Kapuskasing, came forward with the proposal that the j government station should be at Moosonee, Probably the; most reasonable propositicn in this regard was that the proper place for a government radio relay station was at a psint near Sudbury. In such location it was claimed that radio would be made available to a wide territory stretching from North Bay north ts Moosonee, west to Sault Ste. Marie, east to a large portion of Quebec, and taking in a territory that would include all the centrés of Northern Ontario, Northwestern Ontario and Northwestern Quebec. The proâ€"| posal for a government station, however, failed to receive | the fullest support Cf! the Northern Ontario Associa,tedl Boards of Trade because of the division of opinion as to the proper place of lscation. At the present time, however, the| newspapers of the North and the people of the North have taken the position that the lccation of the proposed station is far less important than the fact that there should be a government station to make radio available to radio owners and license payers. "What we want is a radio station!" seems to be the general attitude. "It does not matter parâ€" ticularly where the station is located so long as it serves the widest possible territory, The experts of the radip departâ€"| . ment will no doubt select the most suitable location. What‘ | we ask is a government radio relay station!

The careful, canny Globe has even given frontâ€" page prominence to the matter. The Globe says that this ! vicious black squirrel has been terrorizing the children atâ€" ‘ tending a certain small city school. "After having attacked and bitten four or five boys and girls at intervals recently‘" says The Globe, "the big male squirrel on Friday last dashed down from a tree and made an unprovoked attack on an iolder girl who was walking with 8â€"yearâ€"Old June Taylor. The older girl kicked the squirrel, whereupon it ran up June | Taylor‘s side and bit her severely on one ear and her right lhand. drawing blood. The child was rusheq to a doctor‘s office." No! This did not not happen at Sault Ste. Marie. where A friend cof The Advance has handed in a very interestâ€" ing little clipping from a British newspaper.

The bite of a squirrel was no more dangerous than that of any other small animal, the veterinary surgeon said. The Globe was further inâ€" formed that unprov¢ked Attacks by squirrels on human beâ€" ings were very rare. Isn‘t it a fact, though, that a squirrel came out of the woods near St. Thomas last summer and has been snapping at a lot of human beings since? Didn‘t the of Toronts suffer a snap or two? Wasn‘t the former premier of Onâ€" tario attacked? And the Lieutenantâ€"Governcr? And the Securities Commissioner? And the former chairman of the T. N. 0.? And Dr._T. T. Shields? ~And were nOot the heads gnawed off thousands of civil servants in the proâ€" vince? This squirrel hasn‘t been shot as yet. This squirrel has been doing the shooting. Of course, The Advance may be mistaken. This paper may be confusing the Squirrel with the nut. The dogâ€"catcher was sent Cut with a gun and the vicious black squirrel at St. Thomas was shot through the heart, if any. A veterinary surgeon interviewed by The Globe No!

In all, 20 Union Jazcks were supplied to schools in the district, Six libraries were begun which may be added t> this year, and nine schools each received a dozen coâ€" pies of ‘"‘The Wonder Atlas of the World" a woOrk that can be used exâ€" tensively in public schzol teaching. A large number of boxes of clothing were also sent to help supply the need in that line. The work of the educational branch of the I. 0. D. E. also involves the conâ€" tinuancte of bursaries.
