Over thir- ty members were present.

In 1932, however, the positions have heen reversed but these two months again have proven the worst during the first ten months of the year. The figures for the first ten months of the year show a reduc- tion of 66, or over 14 per cent., In: the number of deaths, while the number of persons injured has dropped from 6,988 to 6,875 and the amount of property dam- age has heen decreased 7 per cent. If these percentages con- tinue throughout the year, it will mean a saving of over $0 lives and approximately $75,000 in property damage. During October, however, the downward tendency noted throughout most of the year was maintained and the total number of accidents reported decreased over 6 per cent. from 1,026 to 963, while the number of fatali- traffic conditions," "driving on wrong side of road" and "failure to give right of way" comprised 75 per cent, of the violations of the motorists involved. Ninety-five per cent. of the drivers involved were male; 22 per cent. were between 18 and 24 years of age and 46 per cent. were between 25 and 40 years of age; 75 per cent. were stated as having had more than 5 years' Ls = DODD'S" IT TON: DY waCHE £5 iy "00gR TROUR, KOREN HEUMATIS 3087 rE PRO LITTLE JOE OTTER'S FAMILY Who thinks himself too old to play The sooner will become that way. ¢ ; ~Little Joe Otter.

"Not much," he confessed.

"What --a..d therefore Canada--was bene- terday to be credited directly to the conference agreements. In short Mr. Gray considered tha¢ the port fiting in two ways from the Imper- ial scheme of preferences, coming and going, Saint John, no less than Halifax, considers that the wheat traffic is tc basic traffic upon which the, port must build up its business and in this connection it holds strong- ly to the militant Maritime view. From any \ -!l-informed and loyal Maritimer, it is only too easy to hear the argument, It does not even have to be extracted. It just pours out naturally, - And through- out it all, it is important to recog- nize that there is not the slight est quarrel with Montreal's domi- nant position in respect to the summer and autumn movement, The zreat St. Lawrence port is recogn'zed as the most economic agency for shipment. But what the Maritimes do ask, with all the forcefulness of which they are cap- able, is why they should not handle the winter movement, help the Canadian railways--which can hardly be said to be in a position where any help is not most oppor- tune--help Canadian labor--which can hardly be said to be suffering from a surfeit of jobs--and gener- ally keep in Canada the millions of dollars for transportation services which, in recent vears, has been spent in the United States. Wheat Pool Blamed Writing from Halifax this respondent mentioned the sus with which prominent Nova tians, in both governmental harbor circles, regarded the Can- adian wheat pool's ownership of its.

This, in brief, is the story of the Imperial Conference trade agree- ments as the port of Saint John, with its present season scarcely a fortnight old, already knows it. | The essential facts are these: New York, for the first time in ore than 50 vears of Atlantic ma- ine history, has lost to Saint John he winter terminus of the Cunard Line, Portland, Maine, { time in than | similarly lost to this port the win- i ter terminus of the Cairn Line. These are cvents of firs¢ rank 'mportance in the marine world | and of profound significance to | Canada's castern seaboard. Quite | part from their immediate impor- { tance, which is great, they arc the straws which show the way the wind is blowing. They indicate clearly that two of the important tfansatlantic 'services have conclud- ed thay the substantial freights to the United Kingdom are going in fu ture through the Canadian ports, Grain Traffic Calling There is another factor Saint John picture which ranks equally with if not ahead of the two already described, This is the volume in which grain is rolling in for shipment. In December of last year only 443,000 bushels were shipped from the port. This year, with the American route blocked by the uncertainty about whether or not users of it will qualify for the preferences, more than 8,000,000 bushels have been received already. Just how great an increasc in busi< ness this volume represents can be realized from the face that during the whole of last year the port handled only something in excess of 4,000,000 bushels. Saint John believes accordingly, that it is headed towards the largest winter port business in years. It even considers that it has a chance of surpassing the rec- the vears, for More 30 has in the driving experience; 1 per cent. were stated as' "intoxicated" at the time of the accident. Ninety- five per cent. of the drivers were residents of Ontario; 4 per eent. were residents of the United States. Arrests were made in 22 cent, of the accidents. As regards the light conditions prevailing, 52 per cent. occurred during dusk or darkness. Remarks: Each season has its peculiar hazards.. Christmas time, bring- ing congested traffic in the urban centres, weary drivers and pedes- trians, slippery streets, obscured vision and early darkness, is no exception, and requires a "gear- ing up" of the mind to meet these hazards. Also, with the fes- tive season approaching, the folly of driving after drinking cannot he too strongly emphasized. When i conditions require more than | usual caution and alertness any ! diminution of perception or glow- ing of reaction is likely to prove disastrous, _. 4 a per | first | aids 929, the golden years of Canada's osperity, And feeling as it does the port; at least its officials -- is dis- to reflect that = everything fulness of time. In 1700 a devastating fire .came to sweep the harbor of its obsolete quipment, Then about two years ntervened during which the work of reconstruction and rehabilitation proceedca apace. And now comes the Imperial trade agreements to employ the new facilities to 100 per cent of capacity. : "Unquestionably has the Imperial. Conference trade agreements which have caused he Cunard Line to Leave New York and the Cairn Linc to leave Port- land," H. C. Scliogeld, chairman of Samt John Harbor Commission said. More Equipment Talked Of "And, unquestionably," he con- tinued, "our new facilities will be employed 100 per cent. of their ca- pacity this scason. In fact, we shall be disappointed if we do not make out a Hod case for increas ed facilities. Owing to conditions, we have not been able to go ahead with our plans all at once; the Federal Government requires evi- dence, first, that business is knock- ing at our door before it will furn- ish thc money neccessary to expan sion, We believe, however, that we, will be able to establish our case during the nresent winter." Premier Richards stated to the correspondent that, thanks to the Imperial Trade agreements, the iipping prospects for the coming scason were a bright and hopeful s.ot in the New Brunswick pic- ture. And the province's port business, he emphasized, was of very great importance in its eco- nomic life. "And the agreements," he furth- er said, "have brought us other benefits. They h.... been of defi- nite help to our apole growers, Ex- porters tell me that they have wrought a decided stimulus and improvement to the demand for the Canadian fruit." The correspondent nut up to Al- exander Gray, manager of the Saint John Harbor . Commission, the direct question of whether or not he had been able to trace any port business directly to the ine fluence of thc conference agree- ments. --Or posed comes in the been it Results Substantial The unhesitating reply of Mr. Gray was thot although the win- ter port scason was hardly begun, hie had already been able to detect substantial results. He instanced, of. course, the grain movement. Then he mentioned the fact thm Canadian apples were going out and Scottish anthrecite' was moving in, Some 50,000 tons of the latter com- modity was already booked. 1t competed not with the product of our mines but with United States anthracite, and it gave the Cana- adian transport companies the rail haul, which, in the case of the lat- ter product, went largely to Ame What | oo | some pretext hy | | frem | Matitimers fn this provines wan" pr'nted on it in hold lez. end.

The writer heard it from a variety of sources. When, during the past year, the discount on American currency added about one and one-quarter cents per hushe! to the cost of using the American route, making it by this margin actually. more costly than ship- ment through Canady, how. was it pos~ihle, prominent Maritimers want to know, for Canaalan wheat to stfll flow through the Buffalo ¢hannel? © Who paid the exchange? Normally, the professional grain men say, a difference In rates of one-eighth of one cent per bushel is sufficient to divert traf- fic from one route to another. During the past year, however, a Aifferenca apparently almost ten times this amount has seemed nowerless to ecanture the move- ment for Canada. Maritimers want to know why. Particularly they want to know if at the time jn anestion the Canadian Government was finan- cing the wheat pool and if the pool took advantage of this fact ta ship through Its own Buffalo elevator, regardless of the higher cost, Be all this ag it may, Maritim- ers are confident that now. thanks to the Imperial trade agreements, they are going to get what is popularly known as 'a break." They have no doubt that regulations are going to be so far consistent with the Em- pire-first principle of the confer. ence itself that they will provide that Empire commodities sha!l flow as far as possible through Empire channels. Saint John shareg this confidence and is pre- pared with the last word in har- | opposition "NICE KITTIES" If you should chirp "Nice kitty!" in the Midget home near Tex., Imagine your embarrassment when a couple of fine cats the pole variety come nwzzling around.
