as all the towns seem to be listed in this census of industry the only one we recall that is omitted and does not appear this year or other years is fergus which we had always considered quite an industrial centre and has a population of about 3000 hew lejift seems to be a constant query in our travelling tn the course of business three years ago we detoured east for a month while one section of 25 was under construction last season we de toured west and waded through while another section was constructed then milton had sewer construction in hand and more detours finally the road was fair and milton sewer depressions were ust levelling off and the contractors dec id ed to lay sewers on no 25 in acton and now we detour a concession west to get to and from milton interesting and progressive of course but getting rather monotonous winter driving hazards statistics show that the mileage death rate from traffic accidents rises as much as 50 per cent during ihe winter according to j o good man general manager of the automotive trans port association of ontario longer hours of darkness and adverse weather conditions causing poor visibility com bined with slippery street produce dangerous driving conditions mr goodman said it is possible to drive under such adverse conditions without so much as a scratched fen der ha said but it requires defensive driving the knowledge and practice of defensive driving enables the professional truck driver to roll up thousands of accident free miles in all kinds of weather the average motorist can well afford to take a leaf from the professional drivers book and drive defensively as well the basic principles of safe winter driving are 1 slow down on icy wet or snowy roads 2 adust your speed to that of the general run of traffic 3 avoid sudden changes of speed ancj direction it is the latter which e a uses the great major lly of skids mr goodman concluded tw jobs for ptjuartiftt there are two little jobs which parliament should handle without fait this session urges the financial post neither need take much time nor arouse any controversy they are 1 to have all national holidays like victoria end dominion days celebrated on the nearest monday to the actual date 2 where daylight saving has been approved to have it start and end on the same day and hour throughout the whole country last ytr men were variations of weeks in the starting of this measure and even longer in the ending of it for both obs all that is needed is a littu initiative on the part of parliament and the co operation of provincial and municipal authorities lafs have it says the post ed we heartily agree a lot of confusion will thus be avoided a fvevudaj quash a a the ontario legislature might well consider any changes to be made in the sunday laws to please the cities local option was tried in ontario in the matter of the sale of intoxicating liquor end rightly or wrongly was very much dis credited permission for commerlcialzed sunday sports in certain parts of the province is a prin ciple of local option before liquor can be banished from e municj pality or local option be upset once it has been adopted a 60 per cent vote is required the toronto vole in favour of commercial sport was only slightly over 52 per cent moreover on the basis of the vote polled by mr stewart smith it may reasonably be assumed that 40 000 of ihe 89000 total wars communists or their fellow travellers after all ontario is still a christian community and surely such a vote forms a flimsy basis for radical departure from the traditional sunday why a tie week in the last 25 year canadian death rates have fallen in a remarkable way discoveries in me field of scientific medicine have had a pro found effect on our civilization and naturally have resulted in higher standards of health some diseases which were known as scour ges no more than 25 years ago are now either completely under control or partially checked for instance case and death rates in canada for tuberculosis typhoid fever scarlet fever dip thena and whooping cough have fallen spec tacularly in that period of time infant and maternal deaths are on the downgrade and smallpox has just about disappoarod a tpoc tacular instance of change for the better is seen in dipthena statistics 9 093 cases and 1280 deaths in canada in 1924 against 698 cases and 85 deaths in 1948 despite all this however there is still much room for improvement in the nation s health picture many problems continue to baffle medi cal science public health workers and the gene ral public alike for instance the attack on cancer and arthritis has only begun the venercaldis rase problem is still a significant one more at tent i on needs to be paid- to the health of indus trial workers by both management and the workers themselves there is still much need for research and education in the field of nutrition poliomyelitis i another problem which must be solved while even ihe common cold still has humanity baffled medical science and health workers generally still have much to do and that is why such events as national health week sponsored an i ually by the health league of canada the nation s gold cross association are necessary health week helps make canadians aware of the facts helps give them a clear view of the nation s current health picture and points out vthat they can do to help improve ihe picture canada s sixth annual national health week u scheduled for january 29th to february 4th editokul notes i can t do a great deal for my
