East and south spring has arrived and with its arrival has disappeared more or less the fear of a fuel famine. Up in this country the plentitude of wood makes the idea of fuel famines hard to realize at any time. â€" Nevertheless all Canada should be earnestly endeavoring to provide aâ€" gainst fuel shortage for next winter. But no danger is realized in a comeâ€" day goâ€"day land like Canada until the danger is on top of the land with both feet. Walter Bellsham, a Cobalt optician, has invented a type of spectacles to safeguard blind people against street accidents. The spectacles contain reâ€" versible dises, one showing a milky white glass to be worn in the daytime, and the other side being radium coatâ€" ed for night use. Motorists, drivers of other vehicles, etc., can thus recogâ€" nize sightless people by day or night and many accidents may be avoided. Mr. Bellsham is also patenting devices to be worn on the arms and back, so that blind people may be recognized instantly and thus may not be in danger from the trafiic. . The fact that there will be many soldiers back from the war without their sight makes the Cobalt invention of particnâ€" lar‘ interest at this tiime. Both the Last week the Provincial Legislaâ€" U.S. Government and the: Governâ€" ments of several of the Allies have shown interest in Mr. Belisham‘s inâ€" vention and are inviting bun to demâ€" onstrate it.

Owin@ to the impossibility of seeurâ€" ing the necessary teams during these busy times, Mr. H. Mulheron has been forced to forego the giving of his annual sleigh ride party to the chik dren of the town. He had intended to give this annual treat to the youngâ€" sters on Friday of this week, but every one seems so busy that no teams can ba secured for the event.

There are too many useless and harmâ€" ful dogs around the town, and any measure that will add â€"to the discomâ€" fort. and cost of kecping these unâ€" necessary pests is a step in the right direction. â€" The tax is not too high for a good dog, and no one who has a dog that has either practical or sentimentâ€" al value will refuse to pay the increasâ€" ed tax. As regards the useless and the vicious dogs, however, the average man will hesitate about paying the new rate on dogs, and as a consequenâ€" ce the town may be rid of a number of mongrels that ean be well spared. There is one feature, however, that may have eseaped the notice of the Town Council, and that is the position of dog team owners under the new \measure. The usual dog team has at least four dogs, and under the byâ€"law this will mean a tax of $11.00 at least for the team. It might be well if a method could be arrived at whereby the owners of dog teams would esceape more lightly. _ Both from the standâ€" point of the usefulness of the dog team in a country such as this, and the sentimental considerations that would prompt the keeping of such features as this, were it only in memâ€" ory of other days now past, the keepâ€" ing of dog teams is something that should be encouraged. To give any preference to dog teams, it would be necessary, of course, to guard again attempted evasions of the law. _ This night be done, perhaps, by making entrance into the Annual Dog Team Race a condition of the reduced rate, but in any event it might be worth while to try and secure some tax basis that would not discourage dog teams in ‘this North Land. FIREMEN SCORED THE MOST GOALS THIS One of the Firemen‘s Hockey team has pointed out the interesting fact that the Firemen this season have scored the most goals in the Poreuâ€" pine League series of games.
