Claims are made that the pressure and disclosures made in Canadian reports on the situâ€" ation has had no little part in the introduction of the planned reforms in these text books. So the press still serves a purpose, the radio notwithâ€" standing. S i _A couple.â€"of citizens were discussâ€" ing the latest governmental scandal, that of the charges laid against the Assistant Deputy Minister of the Deâ€" partment of Finance, of stealing Vicâ€" ‘tory bonds and coupons. In the course of their remarks they casually reâ€" ferred to the cases of mail administâ€" ration and juggling of public funds that took place in provincial affairs some time ago. The discussion was . marked by a pointed question of a general character. ‘How can this counâ€" try ever expect to command the reâ€" spect of British finance if we are so unfortunate as to have such instances for ever poping up, of so called resâ€" _ponsible citizens juggling public or ‘other funds. The Old Country and ‘everyone else, including ourselves, \ who may be lenient, must doubt.‘ The creation of a new entrance to the western end of the city by the reâ€" construction of the Humber bridge has been made so apparently necesâ€" sary in the past few weeks of abnorâ€" mal highway traffic that there are now plans under review for the works department of the municipalities, the city and Townships, with the Province concerned, already discussing the plans for a new structure. It is sugâ€" gested to make the bridge 86 feet wide. Many ask will this be wide enough, and in the light of other inâ€" stances ‘the point is a trite one to make. _ Citizens of Toronto and Districts have from time to time â€" expressed great alarm over the number of deaths that take place in the area as the result of automobile accidents. This alarm has led to the consideration and introducing of various reforms which have tended to reduce the loss to a very material degree. The hope is expressed that the history of loss will never approach that which is givâ€" en out recently in the report from the National Safety Council of the United States, which indicates a loss of three every hour, in a review that covers but half of the States. HEARD 0N THE STREFT JUNCTION 8703 Weston THE WESTON TIMES & GUIDE The Only Way § "«©You‘re taking separate vacations, eh? Does your wife go away soon ?" "Guess so. She just Edfiâ€"éh{ a lot of paper dishes for the house." ___Nobody had any registration plates or a license to drive; there were no traffic rules; you could park anywhere as long as you pleased and had no difficulty in finding a place to park. In short, them were the days. The bicycle craze had reached its peak and was waning, but still strong, and any number of persons could be pointâ€" ed out as having century runs to their credit.â€"New Bedford Standard. There were automobiles on the streets in 1901. but not many, They had no front doors, and if the car hadâ€"a tonneau, the door was in the middle of the back. The driver sat on the right; the brake and gear shift levers were outside, at his right hand. It is said some of the models in those days had whip sockets, but I do not vouch for that. People who rode in these contrivances outside the city limâ€" its wore goggles and dusters reachâ€" ing to their shoes. The women, still with the large hats and long skirts of the preâ€"automobile age, had veils. Most of the country roads then were dirt roads; it was considered very huâ€" morous to carry a banner reading "Excuse our dust" for the edification of drivers of the horseâ€"drawn equipâ€" ages that you passed on the road. There were many complaints that the noisy benzine buggies were scaring the horses. \_As the embers of the fire burn low, the boys look up at the stary heavens, someone tells something of deepest inâ€" terest learned from astronomers. A sense of the greatness of the infinite spaces leads many of the boys at such a time to form a purpose to achieve noble things in his own life. This purpose is strengthened as a few minâ€" utes later when the laughter and fun of the day is over and "Lights Out" is, sounded, the whole camp becomes quiet under the music of Bill‘s violin as he plays "Lead Kindly Light Amid the Encireling Gloom." Still thinking of his purpose, "The Gentle Sleep from Heaven slides into his Soul." Next morning Jim is right ready to repeat the activities of another day. _ No account need be given of how the dinner is spent, except to say that the boys enjoy the hour. The afterâ€" noons are largely given over to rest periods, writing letters home, short hikes in groups and a few games until it is time for another dip in the lake before supper. After supper baseball, volley ball, and other group games, till the evening shadows t urn the thoughts and footbtggs of all to the camp fire, around which, in one big circle all are gathered.. A programme of fun and humor is put on by the boys themselves, the camp paper "A Daily" is read. This always has some articles of wit and wisdom, original pieces in prose and poetry, interâ€" spersed with funny "cracks" at indivâ€" idual leaders and boys, songs and hymns are sung, some strong leader from among the boys themselves, or one of the staff tell a story of the strength, courage and valor of some of the great ones of earth. _ S The whole company saluted the flag as it unfurled, then ten minutes‘ vigâ€" orous "jerks" limbered up their joints, a dip in the lake, dressing, and by the time breakfast call comes, every last boy is;ready to join the parade, they orderly but not silently enter the huge dining tent, and after grace, vast quantities of cereal, bacon, bread and butter disappear. Around the breakâ€" fast:table is the time and place for song.and music. Harold at the piano, argl ‘Bill at the violin give the boys some, of the finest pieces from. the Masters of Music. The boys have a sing song and then hymns followed I by morning worship. Before they leave the table, plans for the day are outâ€" lined...There is the period of Bible I study when each tent group with their leader, under some shady tree spend an hour in this best of all character forming work. Then comes a period when the whole camp divides into groups for nature, study, as of trees, birds, insects, flowers, or camp craft, or model aeroplane, building. _ After this the whole camp comes together for instruction and discussion on voâ€" cations, so vital a question to boys of this age, under Prof. Craig, of Winnipeg. This leaves a long period for a swim in the lake under the direcâ€"! tion of expert life savers, when many of the younger ones take the course in learning to swim, and several of the older boys obtain their life savâ€" ing medals. + s 3 I This was Jim‘s first year â€"at Camp. Rolled in his blankets on a straw tick. on; the ground floor with the tent flapsâ€"up he had slept a dreamless sleep and woke suddenly hearing the quiet .yoice of the Camp Director as he went from tent to tent telling each leaderto turn out for the morning meditation. Jim had no watch, but from the position of the sun in the morning sky he thought it would be half an hour anyway before "everyâ€" body up" bugle sounded at seven o‘clock, so he lay still and in a moment heard that which thrilled him with _delight. Floating through the still morning air came the strains _of ‘"Nearer my God to Thee!‘ from Bill Andrew‘s violin, as standing by an oak tree on the bank of the lake, he softly played this and other old famiâ€" liar tunes until all the leaders gatherâ€" ed around him. Jim‘s tent was so near the oak that he could see all that went on and observed that the leaders came silently across the campus and when the last one had arrived the music. ceased, after a few moments silence one of the leaders rose, read a few‘ verses from the Bible, led in brief prayer ,while each committed himself for that ddy, to the Great Leader of. all. A five minute talk by another was followed by a few more moments of silence. The strains of music again filled the air and silently each leader returned to his tent. Almost immmeâ€" diately the bugle sounded, and in a moment all silence ceased, as one hunâ€" dred and forty hearty, happy, hilarousl boys noisely hurried to the centre of the campus, where each tent group formed in perfect line behind their leader. The leader who a few moments before under musi¢‘s charm and in outâ€"ofâ€"door worship had been inspired with a sense of the joyous responsibiâ€" lity dinvolved in leadership through comradeship‘ with these young lads. wWHAT DOES CAMP MEAN TO A x es tre" BOY? _ AUTOMOBILES IN 1901 Article No. 2 F V OV V TN PRODUCT OF GENERAL MOTORS OF CANADA, LIMITED PONTIACsSIS IX Internal Brakes Effortless Steering Superb Roadability 28 Main St. N. _ No Interestâ€"12 Months to Pay.
