Our expansion involye the expenditure of $8,000,000 and inâ€" cludes the construction of a Body Manufacturing Plant and the modernâ€" ization of the powerhouse at Windsor; a new branch assembly plant at Vanâ€" couver, B.C., and a Maritime Headâ€" quarters Building at Sairt John, New Brunswick.

Another bright spot in the picture is the enviable position attained by Canâ€" ada as an exporting nation in 1937. Reliable reports indicate that Canaâ€" dian exports for the year will total more than one billion dollars. This places Canada fourth on the list of exporting nations of the world. To Ford Motor Company of Canada. Limited, the year 1937 marked an imâ€" portant milestone in the progress of the company. Two new cars were inâ€" troduced and accorded the most enâ€" thusiastic reception of any model in the past ten years.

The intoxiâ€" cated individual must share responâ€" sibility for many car accidents, and most people on foot show too much inâ€" difference to possible danger at interâ€" sections. They know that a car may be stopped promptly; so it may if brakes are in good condition, but not all cars are in good condition, and not all drivers are prompt in action. In emergencies they become panicky, and probably do the wrong thing. The Grand Jury at its present session urges stricter testing of ‘the ability of all drivers before licenses are issued, and rigid examination of those who figure in accidents. This is a good suggestion. It must be made certain that severe punishment will follow acâ€" cidents revealing neglect of any senâ€" sible percautions. The present killing and maiming of human beings must not continue, no matter what severity of regulation is required to stop it. Meantime a safe New Year‘s holiday is the responsibility of drivers themâ€" Among the many attractive and inâ€" teresting Christmas cards received was one from Otto Thorring of The Cochâ€" rane Northland Post. Not only was the sentiment expressed on the card a very pleasing one,»«but the printing, with the monogram "T" in gold, is very creditable to the work of The Northâ€" land Post job department which printâ€" ed the hardsome little greeting card. selve Ottawa Journal:â€"Britis Parliament are to be sup masks.

Dr. Smirle Lawâ€" son, Chief Coroner, fears that it is if street conditions are bad, as he anticiâ€" pates excessive drinking then also. Last year the Christmas tragediés appeared to ‘exert a sobering influence on New Year‘s revellers; but is this to be the price that must be paid each year for a farewell holiday? Mayorâ€"elect Day, Police Chief Drapâ€" er, Motor League and Safety League officials are determined that something must be done. Evidently fines as at present levied are not severe enough to check wild individuals in charge of cars. Nor is a limited suspehnsion of drivers‘ licenses. To have any effect, these people must understand that long prison terms and complete banishment from the road will follow conviction on the ground of serious recklessness or intoxication while at the wheel. other ‘Black Christmas, blacker than the last. ""Most of the tragedy is confessedly due to drink. The result is not surâ€" prising. Given a narcotic drug that makes sane people subnormal,. a growâ€" ing habit of consumption with proâ€" gressive loss of control and a public policy that considers alcohol O.K., that multiplies facilities for its distribution and definitely encourages sale, it is not strange that tragedy should grow. "In this result the public policy is a primary factor and one individual toâ€" day must take the major responsibility for that public policy. He is the preâ€" mier of the province. He will not perâ€" mit the people of the province to exâ€" press their wish and so protect themâ€" selves. He will not permit the people of Toronto a full civic local option vote. "Christmas merely magnifiese what occurs steadily throughout the year and for this havoc, so long as the policy stards, the premier and his government even Pedestrians also must do something | must take primary responsibility." AMONG THE MANY PLEASING CHRISTMAS CARDS RECEIVED | (From Globe and Mail) Christmas <Eve traffic tragedies inâ€" dicate that more drastic steps must be taken to curb reckless and drinking car drivers. Despite the experience of a year ago, ‘still more of these appear to have this year thrown caution to the winds.
