This is the season when every- one thinks of holidays.

There are too many preventable ac- cidents on the streets, in the homes, and in industry. In this Province alone industry pays, through the Compensation Board, an annual tax of about six million dollars for acci- dents, and this is only part of the loss, for the employer and employee alike suffer every time there is an accident involving loss of time. Safety is largely a habit of mind and like other habits can be acquired. Thinking safety will, therefore, produce safety, so that both man- agement and workers should give thought to accident prevention to the end that the awful toll in human suffering and the very considerable sums of money lost may be reduced to a minimum. l\lnrn eg+'..+u :s .. Canada is a~young country-it s only 57 years since Confederation, and her youngest province only 18 years old--but what she lacks in years she has made up by achieve- ment. Canada holds to-day a com-, manding position among the wheat producing countries of the world, and prizes and championships have, come to her sons from successes in' grain growing` and other agricultural; achievements. Over one millloni workers are engragml in agriculture- alone, and in 1922 her revenue from this source was,$1,420,000,000. Yet only one-fifth of her arable land is under cultivation. -Juul-3 u; ununrty IUSL may DC remlucetl minimum.

The Kiwanis Club strong'l_v urged a motor camp for Barrie, but dirl not alone select the Blake St. site. It appeared to be tlze only available spot and the Council favored it. No one wants to force the East Enclers to put up with something` that is disagreeable and the Town Council wisely decided to abandon the project. It is to be hoped that an effort will be made to secure some other site that will be suitable to all. The Kiwanis Club, we are sure, will do all that is pos- sible to help in the matter. The old B.C.I. g,-rounds, upon which considerable time was spent by the Kiwanis Club and Town Coun- cil, has been abandoned as a motor camp, owing to the strong` protest made by the residents of the East End. It is unfortunate that such protest; was not made earlier in the season.

He sug':2;ested that leaders be limited to one and a half hours each, their lieutenants to one hour and ordinary members 20 minutes each--with a right to hand in their unnished speeches to be recorded in Hansard. Mr. Boys based his opinion on the fact that the address from the Throne occu- pied 48 hours, 15 minutes, and the Budget debate took 20 days, 5 hours. In his opinion the average member of Parliament was a sound business man, but not an orator. nd out themselves if they would take the trouble to look up certain records.

Looking after the affairs of the coun- try is a big; job and time should not be wasted in asking petty questions and killing time. In view of the industrial and trailic conditions, which resulted in a falling off in gross receipts, the President of the C.N.R. has given a general hint that he would be pleased to receive a voluntary offer from the men to accept a four per cent. reduction in salary.

For a couple of hours the cimmit- tce discussed the possibility oi marketing Canadian coal from Al- berta and from the Maritime Prov- inces in Central Ontario in competi- tion with United States coal. Many sumrestions were made, including that of Government assistance in the matter of overcoming` the difference in rates, the carriage of western coal by boat from the head of the lakes, and the carriage of coal at cost by the Canadian National Railways. llon.

The report of Government Eng'in- eer D. W.

Mr. M-acLachlan estimates the average season of navigation into Port Nelson at two months, that is between the docking` of the first ship and the departure of the last.` He was of the opinion that it would cost twice as mucl; to handle cargoes at Port Nelson as it would at Fort William or Montreal.

In 1908 he partially retrieved his maritime disaster, but still appeared to be far from the goal of political power.

LUII ruccnuy. All prospects of lowering the tax i rate of the county faded into thin 7 air when the council decided to de- fl fray out of tlzis year s funds the ' $35,000 due the province from last year's highway operations. The county, it seems, is obliged to pay 20 per cent. towards the construc- tion of the Provincial Highway run- ning through the county from Mild- may to Kincardine and on this road Bruce owed the Province $26,000 from 1922 operations, wlxich it paid at last Januar_v s session. Instead of leaving the $35,000 due for 1923 work on this roadway over for next year's council to nance Bruce Coun- cil decided to wipe the entire debt out and as a consequence $61,000 will have been raised from this year's taxes to meet this decit. Hence the 2 mills required for this purpose ex- plain what shot the county rate to the 10 mill gure, or one-tenth of a mill higher than last year. With a rate of 1c on every dollar of the assessable property of the county one migltt be apt to think this arecord for Bruce, but in looking` over the ` past we nd 1921 decorated with 12% mills and 1922 with a 10".: mill touch, so the groaning taxpayers can take comfort from the fact that things might have been worse.
