FURNITURE 129 DUNLOP STREET CHESTERFIELD SUITES DINING ROOM AND BEDROOM SUITES Is Going Full Swing Highways and Highway Safety A Message from the Premier Probably no single development in the history of our province has had more widespread inuence upon the lives and habits of our citizens than the automobile. Ontario was one of the rst provinces to recognize the importance of this modern means of transportation, and first, also to adopt a progres- nlve policy of road building and road maintenance. Today, of Ontario s 72,000 miles of roads, more than 38,000 miles are improved gravel, 7,000 miles are paved, and 69 per cent of all roads are surfaced. These roads are not only a remarkable convenience, but, as well, they are a responsibility. The seriousness of the responsibility is evidenced by the fact that in Ontario last year, 524 persons lost their lives through automobile accidents. All available statistics would seem to indicate that most of these accidents were avoidabl%and were caused by either thoughtlessness or wilful violations of the common-sense rules of the road. The Ontario Department of Highways is about to publish in the press of Ontario, a series of educational advertisements, in which an effort will be made to keep drivers and pedestrians alike, alive to the necessity for the continuous exercise of care, courtesy and common-sense in the use of our highways. Suggestions made in these announcements will be, in effect, a digest of all the information gathered from every section of the world which has been found to be of assistance to drivers and pedestrians in avoiding highway accidents and making these same high- ways of inestimably greater value and benet to every citizen. Ontario's honey crop from clovers for 1931 will be fully up to the aver~: age. The general dry weather means honey of extra quality because of the smaller percentage of moisture in it. Swarming has been prevalent in most parts of Ontario in the last three weeks and this is al\vay_~: a sign` of good honey ow. The first of the announcements referred to will be published at an early date. Your attention is invited thereto, and your co-operation in making our streets and highways safe is earnestly solicited.

Purchase of Fertilizers Fall wheat growers have learned that fertilizers are valuable in in-j creasing the yield of this crop in the; way of producing better growth in the fall, followed by less winter l ing and a quicker start in the spring. Earlier maturity and improved qual i`_\' of grain have resulted. Fertili-, zer requirements should be carefully estimated in advance and orders placed in plenty of time to permit delivery prior to seeding dates.

It is the `Big Oh brand and every apple in a box hearing this brand is guaranteed to be in perfect condition. Independent growers will not be allowed to use this brand, but as the majority of growers are or will be members of the association it means that the big majority going overseas will bear this trade mark."
