Just before the vehicle is brought to a stop, the clutch should be disengaged. On slippery pavements that are free from traffic. practice this method of controlling your automobile. The skill you acquire may prevent an accident and perhaps save a life. Remember, too, that your brake bands pick up moisture from the pavement in wet weather. A wet brake is not so efficient as a dry one. Driving in fall and winter has its dangers both in city and country. By schooling yourself in handling your machine on wet or slippery pavements, your driving will be safer for yourself and for other drivers. Remember your automobile is a machine. It does just what you make it do. Care, Courtesy, and Common Senseâ€"on the highways at all timesâ€"but particularly now when new dangers are present. _ Highway Safety Committee HFE chances for motor accidents multiply greatly on pavements which are wet or covered with snow or ice. Even when equipped with chains, an automobile will not stop in so short a distance as on a dry pavement. Motorists and pedestrians should keep this fact in mind. Too abrupt application of brakes is the cause of much skidding. Disengaging the clutch at the same time emphasizes the tendency to skid, and also detaches the most efficient brake on the automobile, viz.. the engine itself. In braking on a skiddy pavement close the throttle, take the foot off the accelerator, leave the clutch engaged so that the engine helps the braking process. and apply the brakes GRADUALLY. â€" » call for special care Powassan News:â€"An esteemed Trout Creek subscriber in renewing his subâ€" scription wishes the editor a "Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year."

The annual meetinang will hear the reâ€" ports of the officers for the year, while the chief other business before the gathering will be the election of officers for the ensuing year. It is hoped to have a large and representative atâ€" tendance from all over the district. The annual meeting of the District of Cochrane Children‘s Aid Society will be held at the C.A.S. Shelter, Timmins, on Saturday of this week, Dec. 7th. In past years the annual meeting of the District C.A.S. has been held in January or February, but last year it was held earlietr than usual and this year is called for Dec "th, so as to conform with the majority of the Children‘s Aid Societies in ‘the province practically all of whom hold their anâ€" nual meeting before the end of the calendar year. District Children‘s Aid Annual Meeting, Dec. 7th. Pavements HON. GEO. S. HENRY, Chairman Lord Melchett proposed the followâ€" ing resolution :â€" "That, having in mind the desirab‘liâ€" ty of the adoption of a policy of the development of the Empire as an econâ€" omic unit, this council recommends that immediate steps be taken to> proâ€" mote the conclusion of extended reâ€" ciprocal trade agreements between the Unitd Kingdom and the several parts of the Empire overseas." Lord Melchett, in his support of the resolution, stated that there was ‘no greater need at the moment than a fusion of the British Empire, in order to promote interchange of commoditiscs goods and services. The nscessity of amalgamations in trade was as apparâ€" ent in nations as in industries. It was a curious paradox that during the whole of the political agitation on fiscal ters large units had become more and more interâ€"related in trade. For exâ€" ample, Caniada, Australia, and the most outstanding example of all, the United States. The Civil War was not fought mainly on a question of slavery but on the wider question of the trade relaâ€" tionships the various parits of America. The tendency towards large economic units was being stressed by the growâ€" ing development of the United States. Among the best minds and the clearest thinkers in Europe there was more than a tendency towards the creation of the United Econbmic Sta‘tes of Europa The development of this into a concrete fact might take time, but At the meeting, Lord Melcheit, who is the chairman of the Mond Nickel Co., whose property in the Sudbury area is famous among the nickel proâ€" ducers, was welcomed as the new chairâ€" man of the organization. At the meetâ€" ing those present included the Agentsâ€" General for Tasmania, South Australia, West Australia, and British Columbia, as well as the High Commissionsr for Rhodesia. The additional viceâ€"presiâ€" dents included:â€"Col. the Hon. J. J. Asâ€" tor, M.P., Lt.â€"Gen. the Rt. Hon. Lord Badenâ€"Powell, Sir Otto Bett, Bart., FEarl of Birkenhead, Viscount Burnâ€" ham, Lord Camrose, Earl of Liverpool, Lord Inverforth, Rt. Hon, Lord Lloyd, Lord» Lovat, Lord Templemors and others. The Advance is in receipt of a report of a meeting of the council and viceâ€" presidents of the Britisth Empire Proâ€" ducers‘ Organization held at London, England, some days ago, the report beâ€" ing kindly forwarded by J. Conway Davis, 37 Lowndes Square, SW Lonâ€" don, the secretary. The meeting and the aims and objects of the organizaâ€" tion should be of interest to everyone in the Empire for many reasons. The chief reason for interest, of course, is the fact that the idea iunderlying the organization would apparently make for the benefit and unity of the Empire. Organization in London, England, PLANS FOR TRADE BETWEEN ALL PARTS OF THE EMPIRE Working to This End. Advantages of Plan Outlined by Lord Melâ€" chett and Others at Meetâ€" ing. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO He was glad to be privileged to preâ€" side cver an organization representative We had to aiscover a means of reâ€"| adjusting this balance. The way was| clear. It was to balance overâ€"indusâ€"| trialized Britain with the over-agricul-} turalized other units of the Empire,| for in natural wealth and resources the| various parts of the British Empire pl'esented an economic complex in ccocmparison with which the Un'vtfed; States was almost 'I'h?i problem was how to organize the Em-‘ pire in such a way as to cbhtain the b:â€"t | results for the whols. IGb was nst a| problem which could be considered from | the merely local point of view. On| the other hand no part of the Empire | could be expected to make sacrifices| without receiving compensations. Thers | were certain parts of the Empire which | were better suited for the production of certain commoditiee than ot-heri parts. These should be given the opâ€"| portunity to produce those com.modi-i ties to the best economic advantage of l the Empire. 1 More than three years ago hs had suggested the outlines of ‘the propasâ€" als to organize the Empire as an econâ€" omic unit in Canada, in Toronto, the capital of Ontario, which was ons 0° the greatest isxrongholds of protecâ€" ticn within the Empire. His proposals then had received the enthusiastic supâ€" port of his audience. His speech had been printed in the official publication of the Grovernment of Ontario, there could be no gainsayinz the adâ€" herence that the idea had so obtain>d. Britain was therefore faced with a clear issue. It was whether she was to combine in an economic entity with the rest of Europe or whether she was to develop the Empire as economically united. Britain with its large populaâ€" tion and small area had becoms enâ€" tirely unbalanced as between industry and agriculture, Owing to this ynequal balance the whole economic life of the country was threatened. Outside ccal, Britain was not selfâ€"contained in any essential raw materials. ‘ of the primary ‘producers of the Emâ€" | pire. The Briitisth Empire had such | ressurces o%f raw materials which could ;contrlbu“t,e all the Empire‘s requirements and give the Empire a power which, if properly uced, would be irresistable. | There was the power to withhold from | other countries supplies of ithose ecsenâ€" | tial commodities in which the Empire | possessed a virtual monopoly. This l was naturally something to be rememâ€" \ bered when Empire products were being juniairly treated in cther markets. It 'would then not be a case of erecting | tariff against goods from such counâ€" )trxes but a case of the Empire demandâ€" | ing its own terms. § | _ â€""In the excitement o‘ the chass, the | ]best; of sportsmen may sometimes for~i |get that it is their duty to let no aniâ€"| mal escape wounded.

A paragraph in The North Bay Nugâ€" get last week, taken from the fyles of The Nugget of Nov. 26th, 1914, the paper then being published at Cobalt, says :â€" roa‘lise that the game laws are worthy conservational measures and is willing to observe them.

FOUNDER OF HAILEYBURY DEAD FOR FIFTEEN YEAKRS ‘"The novices in the art of hunting have a great deal to learn from their more experienced companions as to the fine points of the chase, but it is the first duty of their mentors to impress upon them certain other points We have in this country stock of people that is instinctively sporting im taste endi character and the average man is a good enough sporting gentleman to un nas yo oiler, All indicat.ions seem to be that the trek to the north has been greater than ever and that among the hunting camps in the north woods on the marshes and uplands, vast numbers of young men on their first trips are being initiated into the joys of outdoor life, This is an exâ€" cellent sign.
