FRIDAY, JULY 26, 1940 Volunteer Civil Guards Given Status Yesterday at Ottawa the forces of the Ontario Civil Guards, numbering approxi- mately 30,000, were given a definite status, although they will not be furnished with arms. Under the agreement and under- standing between the provincial and feder- al governments, the Civil Guards are to be auxiliary to the provincial police and "dis- tinctly the responsibility and under the jurisdiction of the provincial government." However the federal authorities assured the provincial authorities that they would facilitate the importation of arms for the civil guards, if and when it was decided to place the units on a "war footing." The idea of the Civil Guards came from the people themselves in several munici- palities the reason for which is obvious, and the Hon. Gordon D. Conant, Attorney- General, who was approached, favored the idea and received government approval to go ahead with the scheme, but did not get very far with the federal authorities in having their support in the early stages of organizing. Today Mr. Conant informed this paper that the result of the Ottawa conference was very gratifying and that on Monday the advistory committee would consider 2 draft syllabus of training. Premier M. F. Hepburn and Hon. Norman Hipel accompanied the Attorney-General to Ottawa yesterday for the purpose of secur- ing a clear understanding on the standing of the civil guards which have been organ- ized throughout the province. The news that the civil guards have at last been recognized by the federal authori- ties and given a status, will add new im- petus and enthusiasm to these units, most of which are made up of veterans of the great war, and who have seen a field in which they might be useful as anti-sabot- age workers. Steel Car Top Saves Lives The engineers who designed and others who perfected the steel bodies for auto- mobiles have saved more lives than can be accurately counted. In the last three days we have noticed accounts of seven cars which turned over; one of them did In none of these accidents "was there a fatality. In the old top construction of cars be- fore the coming of steel, a car which turned over was apt to crush in like an egg shell, and there was nothing much to protect the occypants. We noticed a car a short time ago which had been brought into the city by a towing The fenders were badly used up, but the top itself was in fairly presentable condition. Perhaps that car would. not ' have made a good subject for photograph- ing for advertising purposes at the mom- ent, but there would have been good reason for doing it, and the reason was in the way that top had stood up under the abuse. 'One of the best things car designers ever did.--Peterborough Examiner, To Appeal Magistrate's Decision An editorial in The Times on Monday, Pe ling with the dismissal of a "sleepy river" at St. Thomas by Magistrate Mc- ". Crimmon, came to the attention of the Attorney-General the next day with the a2 result that the Hon. G. D. Conant has = ordered an appeal against the magistrate's decision that a "sleepy driver" who gets _ into trouble does not constitute dangerous ¥ driving within the meaning of the criminal code. Sleepiness, like .ignorance of the law, - , does not excuse any driver from negligence. In the charge before the St. Thomas magis- EY frate, it was brought out in the evidence | 4 that » passenger was injured. Certainly there was no intention on the part of the driver to be negligent. : However it will be interesting to learn what disposition will be made of the charge when the case is re-opened. A Drowning Hazard Few Think Lily pools, fish ponds, brooks, and other water to be found in back yards constitute a grave drowning hazard for children one and two years of age. Of the children of this age group who are drowned each year, by far the greater number meet death in their homes or nearby, according to statis- ticians of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. Cisterns, cesspools, and irriga- tion ditches, barrels, vats, and other liquid containers, and even bathtubs have been responsible for such drownings. The statisticians call attention to the significant fact that more drownings take place among one-year-old babies than among persons of any other age. From the insurance company's mortality records, the statisticians set forth incidents attending some of these pitiful deaths. A typically tragic case was that of a sixteen- months-old girl who was left alone in the yard while her mother at work in the home, kept occasional watch over her from the window. Within an hour the child had disappeared, and her body was found later in a lily pond at the side of the house. Some of the youngsters wandered away and were drowned in near-by rivers, creeks, brooks and similar streams, Several climb- ed into bathtubs when their mothers left them alone "for a minute or two". This is a drowning hazard few think of. Junior Farmers to Give An Ambulance Junior Farmers and Junior Farm Women are not only doing an excellent job on the farms of Ontario, but they have already subscribed $575 toward the $1,750 needed to provide an ambulance for the Red Cross Society, states A. H. Martin, Assistant Di- rector of Agricultural Representatives, Ont. Dept. of Agriculture, who is in charge of the fund. The suggestion that Junior Farmers and Junior Farm Women purchase an ambul- ance for the Red Cross was first made in the June issue of the "Junior Farmer News" which goes to all Junior farm or- ganizations each month from the Agricul- tural Representative Branch, and was en- thusiastically received by the Juniors. It is expected that every Junior Farm Organization in the Province will contribute to the fund. The ambulance, a standard, fully equip- ped, four-bed vehicle, will be purchased through the Red Cross and will carry a name plate indicative of the Junior Farm- ers and Junior Farm Women. Tax Exemption Issue a Lively One At the annual meeting of the Ontario Municipal Association ,the question of tax exemption will be a lively one. It is point- ed out that in Toronto alone, exceptions are as much as the whole assessment in Hamil- ton. Comparatively speaking, similar ¢on- ditions exist throughout Ontario. A dead set will be made at the meeting on public utilities. Some contend that these utilities should be taxed, as they come into competi- tion with private capital called upon to pro- vide for high taxes. Public utilities, these critics 'hold, should pay the same propor- tion as other businesses, and those who use them should contribute. Here again Whitby and most other places are affected. In Whitby exempted property owned by the federal and provincial governments and the County of Ontario, would if privately owned be assessed for over two million dollars. This is more by far than the value of property from which taxes can be collected. --Whitby Gazette and Chronicle.

'ON THIS DATE| a Two incidents in Canadian his- tory on this date, July 26, are worth recalling. In 1745 the great French fortress of Louisbourg, regarded as impregnable, was captured by a naval and military expedition from Boston under Pepperell and War- ren. It was a remarkable feat for the New Englanders, and they were proud of it; but that pride was turned to anger when Great Britain returned the "Dunkirk of America" to France by the treaty of Aix-la- Chapelle. So deep was the indig- nation of the New England colonies that some historians ascribe to it the seeds of the revolution which came in 1775. Louisbourg was again captured by Saunders, Am- hurst and Wilfe in 1750 and was then demolished. Recently it has been partially restored and visitors to the Cape Breton national park can now gain some idea of the great obstacles that had to be over- come in two military victogles. Then, in 1845, just a hundred years after the first capture of Louisbourg, the last sight was had in Baffin bay of the fleet of Sir John - Franklin, 'who, with all his men, perished in the north in the attempt to find the northwest pas- sage. Years later, Dr. John Rae dis- covered relics which proved that Franklin had lived for two years after his ships disappeared into the north. An interesting relic of Sir John Frankkn is in the Anglican Church at Newmarket, Ot., where there is a bell donated by Lady Franklin in gratitude to the people of that district for ald to Captain Franklin on his first journey to the north in 1825. A second link with Franklin at Newmarket is a huge stoe sent by Captain and Mrs. Franklin forth e grave of John . Macdonald, long factor of the Hud- son's Bay Co. There are other re- lics of Franklin at Fort William, Winnipeg an don the shores of Great Bear lake, which he was the | first explorer to visit.

WOMAN GROCER LONG SUFFERING Los Gatos Merchant Almost Parallels Experience of Mark Twain Character Los Gatos, Cel, July 25.--Mrs. Mary Turturice, who operates a gro- cery store on a curve between here and Campbell has almost paralleled the experience of a mountaineer character in one of Mark Twain's The only difference is that since Mark Twain wrote the story, auto- mobiles have replaced jackasses. According to the Mark Twain ver- sion, the mountaineer built his cab- in under a cliff snd every evening a herd of wild jackasses coming down the hill acquired such uncontrol~ lable momentum that they couldn't stop and fell through the roof of his cabin. Each day he rebuilt the roof and each evening the jackasses would fall through. Then he decided to build the Christian Science First Church--64 Colborne St. E.

Hardy was it finished when again he heard the clatter of hoof: and again the jackesses fell through the roof. He then decided it w: getting monotonous. As regards Mrs. Turturice, auto mobiles on seven different occasions rounded the curve near her gro cery too quickly and crashed intd the store. A few months ago, after an eighth had almost demolished the place she decided it would be cheapey to build a new store farther ba from the road than to continue pay ing the repair bills. Hardly was it completed wh an automobile from Oklahoma con taining two persons rounded the curve and crashed through one sid of the new store. This time Mrs. Turturice did no resort to philosophy. She called the police. "Drunk," she charged. The Sunday School Lesson By NEWMAN CAMPBELL (The International Uniform Lesson on the above topic for July 28 is Proverbs 1:7-10, Isaiah 5:11, 12, 18-23; Galatians 6:7-9, the Golden Text being I Timo- thy 4:8--"CGodliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life which now is, and of that which is to come"). Fathers and mothers of all times have been earnestly concerned about the conduct of their children, giving them advice and striving to guide them in the ways of temper- ence and right living. Back in 1,000 B. C., Solomon, 8on of David, king of Israel, said: "The fear of the Lord Is the beginning of know- ledge; but fools despise wisdom and instruction. "My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother: "For they shall be an ornament of grace unto they head, and chains about thy neck." To the mind of an Israelite no badge of glory was higher in worth than the garland worn around the head or the gold chain about the neck, which were worn by kings and favorites of kings. Then Solomon makes this earn- est direct appeal: "My son, if sin- ners entice thee, consent thou not." How to Make the Young Strong How to make our young people strong in the convietion that "in righteousness there is strength," and to say "No" to the often attractive "sinners that entice" them, is the problem To bring them up in the "fear of the Lord," as Solomon says, and to set them good examples of temperate, spiritual living, is the best that any parent can do. The misery that comes from in- temperance is suggested in Isaiah 5:11, where he says: "Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow sirong drink; that tarry late into the night, till wine inflame them! "And the harp and the lute, the tabret and the pipe, and wine, are in their feasts; but they regard not the work of Jehovah, neither ha they considered the operation his hands." Woe surely follows those who dq not obey the laws of God in life Nothing is surer than punishment for the drunkard and wastrel. Ho to make those who incline to sort of living see to what it leads] is the problem of all parents friends of those who are so inclined Tenderly, appealingly, we should like Solomon, ke the appeal "My son, hear the Instruction o thy father." "If sinners entice thee consent thou not." The topsyturvy thinking of tho who "eat, drink and are merry, glving no thought for the quences," is summed up for us in very gtriking language by Isaiah: "Woe unto them that call evi] good, and good evil; that put dark ness for light, and light for dark ness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter? » "Woe unto them that are in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight! "Woe unto them that are migh to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink: "That justify the wicked for bribe, and take away the righteo ness of the righteous from him." These words surely apply to tho who tempt young people to drin by telling them they are not "good sports" if they do not follow thi crowd. How many young people © both sexes have fallen for that slw --to their own deep regret and th agony of their families! In Galatians 6 Paul warns: "B ton deceived; God is not mocked for whatsoever a man soweth, tha shall he glso reap." ! And finally, as added encourag ment to us all to live in the spiril and to cultivate the things tha make for life everlasting, Paul says "And let us not weary in well doing: for in due season we shal reap, if we faint not." "Goodliness is profitable for al things, having promise of the Mf which now is, and of that which to come." ng Weighing Colitaroncs ILLUSTRATED Scripture--Proverbs 1:7-10; Isaiah 5:11, SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON 12, 18-28; Galatians 6:7- ' "My 'son, near the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mothe "--Proverbs 1:8.
