W: more care as you drive. More and more the considerate motorists of Ontario are realizing -how much depends upon them, in the campaign for safety driving on our roads. lt is a matter of deep gratication to know that fatalities in which automoliiles are concerned are decreasing in this province. From January 1st to October 31st, 1933, there were 71 less fatalities of that character than in the same period last year. For this marked improvement in safety-driving the Government of Ontario offers its thanks and congratulations to the motorists of the province. It is a definite indication that the majority of drivers of automobiles in Ontario are co-operating in a real endeavour to reduce the death-toll of the open road. w W _ -1--. .1..- rvcar1lI17IY\f'T imnrnvPmPhf is maintained during the death-toll or the road.

I remember one mast taken from the large ten teams haul it out of the bush. The last ofg the square timber was taken out by the Blac-Landers about 1878. While` timber operations were at their height I have seen as many as one hundred and fty teams pass along Ithe Penetang road on a Saturday morning hauling squa_re timber and cordwood. We had no top buggies in those: days and no springs on the wagons either. The wheels of the wagons were cut from great pine logs. As these were drawn over the corduroy roads though the covered the valley to the south, you could hear the squeak for miles away. . . ,, H-.`|Cainpbell: R. G.
