The fatality total for the month com- pares. with 78 lives lost in November last year and 85 killed in November 1937. # = A study of the fatal Accidents as reported by Ontario papers shows that of these 72 traffic accident victims, 28 were sedestrians, 17 were driver, 20 were passengers and the ince of 7, -- cyclists and unclassified. Included in the e totals, 7 of the fatalities resulted from railway crossing {dents and 15 of the fatalities from "vehicles out of yntrol," December, commonly regarded as the most joyful lonth of 'the year, is one of the deadliest in the calendar r traffic accidents. In the United States last year, it top- the list with 3,330 deaths. Ontario's traffic death toll } December of 1946 was 62 lives lost compared with 84 sses in December of 1941, the worst year for traffic losses in the Province's history. With the hours of darkness increasing, driving condi- tiops more dangerous, heavy crowds of Christmas shoppers and the number of motor vehicles greatly increasea in the Province, safety experts warn pedestrians and drivers both to take increased care. Family Budgets Help In these days when purchasing power of the weekiy or semi-monthly pay envelope is diminishing due to the in- creased cost of almost every item, many families are placing their money affairs on a budget basis as a means of con- trolling spending and making saving easier. - As pointed out by the Royal Bank of Canada in its Monthly Letter, "a family budget is a plan for making your income do. the most possible to make you and your family TJE OSHAWA mes ( ) THE WHITBY GAZETTE AND CHRONICLE 3 A (Established 1863) happy. .It is not a list of "Thou shalt nots', but a guide for | better living, a device to get you things you want.

The Quebec Lib- eral was describing one of his con- freres in that section of Parliament known as "Little Chicago". This group sits far to the right of the Speaker and is often noisy, rebel- lious and undisciplined. Said Pouliot: "That man is so dumb he thinks "Vat 69" is the Pope's telephone number." Jean-Francois is often quarrel- some, but often thes@ is kindness and geod humor. He is the senior private member of the House and is something of a character on Parliament Hill. Some men hate him, some have great affection for him, and many have great respect for him. Jean-Francois, too, has his own pet hates and peeves. He quar- rels often with such men as Rt. Hon. Ian Mackenzie and Chubby Power. One of his pet peeves is the Clerk of the House, Dr. Beau- chesne, who is forever assisting the Speaker in making rules. Mr. Pouliot doesn't like rules, or, at least, not many of them. He was the first private member | to speak in this Parliament and | was ruled out of order by the Speak- | er. There are many such rules made | against Jean-Francois. Twice the | Speaker interrupted him, and Han- | sard records that he sat down say- {ing: "I know I am right." He was talking about the restoration of controls, the rackets that result, and the bureaucrats who rule. Hansard doesn't record that as Jean-Franccis was talking the Clerk of the House rose and held a brief, whispered conversation in French with Speaker Dr. Fauteux. When the Clerk sat down, the Speaker rose and called "order" a couple of times. Jean-Francois sat down and smiled with wicked delight. "I know the handwriting in that decision," he called. The handwriting was plain for anyone--Mr, Pouliot will be called to order fast and often .as Parliament moves along. r+ = EXPLANATION, PLEASE -- Mr. Coldwell has been at it again. The Socialist leader likes to assure Par. liament, and assure the people of A) Messner, in The Rocheser "More And More" Times-Union Canada, that things are better in Great Britain because there is a Socialist government there. His most recent pronouncement, delivered in some heat, was this: "Let me say that as far as Great Britain is concerned the increase in the cost of living since August, 1945, has not been one point." Members who differed with him, he said, did so only in "their ignor- ance". He wanted them to look up the records issued by the Depart- ment of Labor and the Labor Ga- zette, This would show them. Mr. Coldwell should also read the Bank of Canada. statistical sum- mary for June-July of this year. It reports that in June, 1947, the wholesale price index stood at 152.8, whereas in 1945, the year he refers to, it stood at 136.4, a difference of more than sixteen points. If wholesale prices are up then it seems logical to assume that retail prices are up, too. Mr. Coldwell | may have an explanation for all this, for Mr. Coldwell is very good at explaining. We must confess that | Mr. Coldwell is one of the smooth- | est explainers in Parliament. Still, | we'd like 'to hear this one. | LJ | '® A Bible Thought Jesus said, "Be of good cheer, I have overcome the world." (John 16:33.)

Officials in Ontario are no longer fired when there is a change of government, and it is hoped that the old 'system will never return. The pension bill is on an actuarial basis, with new appointees contributing 6% of their salaries. FITNESS TO DRIVE (Edmonton Journal) The motor vehicle is a potentially dangerous mechanical device when operated on the public highway, and the fitness of those who would cperate one should be established before a license is issued. "Fitness" should include not only the ability to drive the car, but a working knowledge of the highway traffic laws and regulations and freedom from serious physical handicaps, such as very poor eyesight. FOR SAFER FLYING (Edmonton Journal) A sign of the changing times-- though not a pleasant one--is the announcement that a Fort Saskat- thewan man has been heavily fined for dangerous flying, flying with-. out a licence and using an aircraft not legally registered and without proper identification marks. It was the first prosecution of its kind in Alberta. It shows how rules and restrictions are closinz in on avia- tion; a pilct is no longer, as he was in the early days, almost as "free as a bird." ,.

Yours truly, : ERNEST MARKS, JR. December 8, 1947. L BE BR J APPROPRIATE NAME Editor, Times-Gazette, Dear Sir:-- \ Following the official Yjening of the new dual highway, by The Honorable the Minister of High- ways, on the third instant, a sug. gestion was made by Hon. G.. D. Conant, that it be named "The Princess Elizabeth Way." I am heartily in accord with this suggestion. In view of the recent marriage of Her Royal Highness, and the fond hope that she may, in the not too distant future, travel over that between To- ronto and Oshawa, the name seems to be most appropriate. Sincerely yours, ALEX. W, BELL.
