There is a good chance that the railway will be able to prove their case before the Railway Board, and the latter will sanction the reduced service. The pro- pest-of the County Council and all munici- ties interested will then be of no avail. ne thing is certain, busses and trucks playing havoc with railway revenues, it is hard to see how' the railways uld be compelled to operate trains that 0 not pay, even if they are bound to fur- nish a reasonable public service, And as trains are discontinued, revenues will drop further, and in the case of some curtail ments the latter end may be worse than the first. "The Port Perry Star thinks that the train service reduction on the Whitby- Lindsay line has added to the C.N.R.'s fin- ¢ial troubles. Here is what it says: "Six or seven years ago, when the Whitby- indsay train was run -on a schedule con- nt to travellers, the revenue from Perry passengers was from $800. to 00. per month. Today, when the ser- 2 has been reduced to a minimum, and jody knows whether the train is going » coming, the passenger revenue has been than $10.00 a month, Apparently the way is not able to increase its revenue reducing its service. Most of us are ng to give a little better service for a tle less pay. The ordinary person has to st himself to the new conditions at He has no great reserve from which w, nor can he get Government aid. p must meet his problems manfully ; study ie needs of the public; give the service ed, and live on a little less." and Accidents o address the other' rawford, chief coroner for publisl.cd every after- foal id ae Ov There is a great deal of truth in these assertions, and motorists who care to examine their own driving methods ought to be the first to admit this. How many accidents are there which can be attributed directly to a desire on the part of at least one of the parties to gain a few seconds of time. Railway crossing accidents can be put down, in most cases, to a desire to beat the train to the crossing, just because it means a minute or two gained. Too many ts are so centred on attaining their opjectives, either by éutting in, by speeding, r by beating a stop-light at an intersection, o give much thought to the safety of hers who may be put in peril by their te. And all of this, as Dr. Crawford "points out, merely amounts to selfishness. If one could only eliminate that spirit of gelfishness from the human mind, there would be fewer accidents. If motorists could be persuaded to use the brake more and the horn less, fewer lives would be lost on the highways. In the great majority of cases, the human element is absolutely at fault, and when the human element can be educated to exercise more self-control while on the highways, more would be accomplished in the direction of safety than by all the traffic laws that could possibly be passed.

(By The Canadian Press) Regina, Sask.--An elaborate pro- gramme of public works is under way in Saskatchewan to relieve the unemployment situation and direct relief is being given to farmers in drought areas. The provincial gov- ernment is now making a survey of the drought arca ip the southern part of the province where direct relief is being given to: approxi- mately 100000 persons, Federal-approval of public works costing in the neighbourhood of $5,- 296,600 has contributed immensely toward relief of unemployed throughout the province, who num- ber 24,134 according to official reg- istration figures, Other projects are being considered. Chief attention is being directed to the aid of destitute farmers, Eighty-five rural municipalities and cight local improvement districts have had no crop for three years, In 72 municipalities and seven local improvements districts there has been no crop for two years and 'in 59 other munijcipalitics crops were poor. The Dominion governtfient is advancing loans for the pugchase of fuel, seed and feed, many farmers having refused to accept aid on any other basis.

From ber of general improvement pro- jects, Regina's expenditure includes $268,761 for develor t of Lake which created a payroll of $94,730 and employed 3,054 men. The Albert street memorial bridge, cost- ing $250,000, is under construction and a large waterworks undertaking at Mound Springs to cost $420,000 is being considered. This would keep 1,000 or more of the city's jobless busy for three or four months. Not only will Regina labor be used in the digging and back-filling of the long ten-mile trench from the springs to the city, but Regina la- bor is gpecified in the construction of pipe. Other projects included improvements at Boggy Creek, the municipal airport, installation of cul verts and the laying of sidewalks and driveways. Principal of the many wundertak- ings commenced at Saskatoon to provide relief for unemployed was the erection of a $850,000 bridge across the South Saskatchewan river. Toward this the federal gov- ernment contributed 50 per cent, the provinee Rpproingtely 25 per cent, and the city gio red the remain- der.

Vision may not appear to be severely af- fected but the kenness of the mem- branes is affected in such a way that fixed close objects can only be seen with effort. It may take cven weeks or months for the headaches to vield and thev are only increased when close work and reading ate resorted to. The more severe the exposure the slower the recovery which may take months or even years as compared with the milder conditions of exposure to ultra vio- let rays which 'may respond in a Yew weeks. This applies to the more deep seated and conditions where the light affects the interior of the eves, but grave danger may be again encountered when we consid- er that the inflamed eye is easily one that is open to infection.

Don't neglect any condition however, simple it may seem, THAT every citizen should have faith in the home city and show their faith by both words and ac- tions, Men who express doubt about the future of the home city are not usu- ally the men who are best able to gauge its future, The citizens who push the home city to the front are those who have un- bounded confidence in its ability to forge steadily ahead in the years to come. Cities peopled with this class of citizens always move ahead. Some men with highly imaginative minds who spend their time build- ing air castles should stop dream- ing. Dreams never build cities. People of the home city should not be discouraged because some dreamers wish to wait and watch to see results secured by progressive citizens so they can reap some bene- fits from their neighbors' work. Ev. ery city has dreamers, Dreamers should wake up and be- come a wide-awake, active part of the home city and do their full share towards its upbuilding.
