"Prospects are that w will carry a much heavier Christ- mas traffic than we had last year," C. W. fohnson, passenger traffic manager of the Canadian National Railways, stated. Of late years a very large number of Canadians have settled in Detroit, and we have arranged to have 12 special trains leave Windsor with the folks who will return to their old homes for Christmas. London, Hamilton and Toronto will be the special distribut- ing points for the Detroit people. "There are a large number of Prairie people returning to their old 'homes in England and Scot- land for the holidays. I notice a smattering of Danes and Norweg- ians also homeward bound. Three special boat trains will leave Bona- venture station over the week-end. They will carry over a thousand Prairie folks. . These boat trains also carry five carloads of Christ- mas mail. "If the snow only lasts we will carry a great volume of people to the Laurentians . for ski-ing and other winter - sports. Christmas falling on Saturday is a most happy event--it makes the long week-end possible," sald the city passenger agent of the Canadian Pacific Rail- way. "We are putting a large number of extra trains on to take care of the traffic to the Lauren- tians and the Eastern Townships. Advance bookings to Toronto and other overnight journeys show that there are a lot of Montreal people going back to the old home for Christmas. "The heaviest boat train of season was to the Montroyal December 7," Mr. Kennedy of C.P.R. Ocean Steamships said. "A very large number have booked for the Christmas sailing from Saint John, Dec. 15. Most of the over- seas travellers are from Winnipeg and other points in Manitoba." GHURGH CUTS OFF MC MASTER GRANT Objection Raised to Alleged Heroterodoxy Within Baptist University the on the Montreal, Dec. 14. -- St. Paul's billingual Baptist Church at a busi- ness meeting held Wednesday de- cided by a unanimous vote to make no further financial contributions to the upkeep of McMaster Univer- sity, Toronto. The university is charged with being heterodox. The following motion was adopted: "St. Paul's Baptist Church stands for the full inspiration and author- ity of the Bible as the word of God and for the absolute infallibility of Jesus Christ as the Incarnate God; and whereas it believes McMaster University has within its faculty those who deny the full inspiration and authority of the Bible as the inerrant word of God and because it is the church's first duty to be loyal to Jesus Christ and His Gos- pel, it is impossible for it to con- tribute any further financial sup- port, however, administered, to the said university until existing condi- tions be reversed. Therefore, all contributions shall cease from this date, and the resolution shall apply to any and all monies which may be now in the church treasury. All contributions to other mission Boards will also be held till the church have decided what is the right channel to pay through. "And furthermore since this church, as a regular Baptist church, within the convention of Ontario and Quebec may be deemed to have a vested interest in McMaster Uni- vrsity, this action shall be .without prejudice to its status as part of the Baptist convention® of Ontario and Quebec." (Signed) "Arthur St. James." Pastor. (Signed) "Geo. Smith," Clerk. NEW SIGNALS FOR WEST HILL CROSSING The board of railway commission- ers for Canada has ordered that an additional bell and wigwag signal "of the most improved type, boaded 2,000 feet on both tracks, in each direction in accordance with the standard specifications for highway crossing signals" be installed at the ® dangerous Westhill crossing oa the Kingston road, according to the copy of the order forwarded to the Motor League.

You came home like that at dinner time, and after I've been and tidied you up you go and have another fight." Small Boy: 'No, mother, it was the same fight; we knocked off for dinner."

SAVE GIRL'S LIFE Miss Simmons, Colborne, Succumbs to an Attack of Paralysis Gananogue, Dec. 13.--Miss Annie Simmons, of Colborne, died at Mrs. William Dempster's private hospital, Charles street, on Tuesday evening. The late 'Miss Simmons, who has been ia the habit of spending the summer at Bostwick Island House and is a jparticular friend of Mrs. Keith, thé owner, came down again this fall fo spend the winter = with Mrs. Keith, as she is in poor health. On Sunday Miss Simmons was stricken with paralysis which ren- dered her unconscious. ° This was the day of the severe storm and it was impossible to reach the main- laad to get a doctor. on the island was an elderly gentle- man, Mr. Murdock, and the ice was too weak to get him across. The only other person to give aid was the young dadghfer of Mrs. Keith and she was required to look after the sick. Tuesday a red light was put on the dock in the hope of attracting the attention of someone who might come to their assistance. This was seen by Johan Gillespie, who lives at the foot of Howe Island, and W. Dorey, the ferry man. They made an attempt to reach the distressed people. After going through the ice several times and pulling each other out of the water, they succeeded in oaly getting about half way and had to give up the task. On Wednesday, however, Mr. Mur- dock succeeded in getting over by a roundabout way going up the river and crossing to Howe Island; thence up to the cottage of Dr. Jones and thence over to the mainland. He walked to: Gananoque and got Dr. Bird, and together they went back in the doctor's car, crossed on the ferry and made the trip to Bostwick Is- land part way by a small boat and the rest by walking. To make matters worse, while Mr. Murdock was away the little girl let the thrée cows out of the stable to get a drink and they went out on the ice and broke through so that when the men arrived they found them there. Dr. Bird had given in- structions' for four men to follow him to the island, as he had intend- ed bringing his patient to the hospi- tal. They soon arrived and gave as- sistance in rescuing the cattle, las- ooing them, and with the aid of a horse brought them to shore and got them in their. stable. The patient was then bundled up warmly, carried part of the way by the men and part of the way on a stone boat, the only vehicle on the island suitable to travel on land. The river was crossed by boat to Howe Island and from there the pa- tient was taken in the doctor's car. The stricken woman only lived a few hours after her arrival at the hospi- tal, her condition being most serious from the start. The late Miss Simmons, who was 55 years of age, was one of the wealthy and highly esteemed ladies of Colborne. She was the last sur- viving member of her family. Mr. Wolframe, of Colborne, execu- tor of her estate, came here yester- day and took the body to Colborne | whore interment will be made.

D. SMITH, Prop. \\ EYE CARE AND EYE STRAIN INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENTS -- AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION By C. H. Tuck, Opt. D., Part 9 Copyright 1926. Serial No. 7701. In early industrial conditions little attention was given fo the eyes but the machines and their improvement came first; but later when the efficiency. of the individual or a department was concerned the importance of vision was too great to be overlooked. The extent of this is established by records filed showing that de- fective vision amongst those en- gaged in industrial occupations both in Canada and the United States is in the neighborhood of 50 per cent. From this is also found the extent of accidents due to defective vision. These are but the results of sur- veys 'made for the purpose. of ar- riving at facts from which some means of elimination may be resort- ed to. If proper illumination could al- ways be found where eyes work is necessary, how much easier it would be, and think of the discomfort that would be avoided. It is only logical to understand that where there is not sufficient light it is impossible to see comfortably and clearly and yet this feature is in many cases overlooked and as a result people every day and everyhere are suf- fering from eyestrain as a conse- quence. The toll taken in this man- ner may be taken in discomfort, errors at work, loss of time, dam- age of different kinds entailing loss, and in injury of' a personal nature. Proper lighting conditions, there- fore, is an important point to be considered on account of>the suc- cess of the work and much more so on a ccount of the welfare of the worker, Insufficient lighting is of- ten the cause of '""Myopia" or short- sightedness. Some of these imper- fect eye conditions may better be termed the result of improper light- ing because light of too intense a glare is likewise a cause of injury or weakness due to strain.
