H PROTECT CHILDREN H Practically all the members of the Porcupine Ski Club. together with a large crowd of other citizens of the town. gathered at the station here ten years ago to give rousing welcome home to Clair Sever who had made the big trip from Timmins to Ottawa on skits in thirteen days. The acting mayor. Councillor A. G. Carson. was on the 8.25 train coming in, 1mm ”Li-gangs Falls, and welcomed the ski artist back home. At the station here the big crowd gathered gave a regular ovation to this pOpular member of the Por- cupine Ski Club. He was congratulated on the feat he had accomplished and on the publicity and popularity thus given to the sport of skiing. In reply- ing to the greetings. Clair referred to the wonderful reception given him at various centres on the trip. The ski clubs were especially kind in their hos- pitality. while at Renfrew and Ottawa the public receptions were especially cordial. Alter the reception, at the sta- tion here.

The fire was ex- tinguished and an investigation car- ried on by Fire Chief Borland to de- termine the causes of the blaze. The fire was in the store part of the build- ing. and after the fire was eXtinguished the firemen discovered a pail containing coal oil alongside one. of the counters.

I To those who “shake their heads” at increasing taxation in the province. the minister said he does not consider thighway revenue “as taxation in any txense of the term." Nearly $30,000,000 50! the annual provincial revenue of [$100,000,000 was motor revenue. It will be sincerely hopedâ€"not only for the sake of the Northâ€"but for the benefit of all Ontario that the plans outlined for more and better roads will be carried out in the immediatefuture.

The request granted. the young man began: “I wouldn’t vote for you if it was a hog-calling contest." The judge interrupted: “Just a minute. young man.

But despite the decrease in the high- way toll lasn year. 1938 losses were still "staggering.” The minister listed: 637 ' ersons killed: more than 11.000 in- Jurcd; $01,250,000 property damage and 13,713 reported accidents. The minister attributea the “altered rend" to the “good sense of the people of Ontario who were shocked into a final realization of the need for safety by the tragic toll of 1937." The depart- :nzni's campaign against accidents also was a factor, "Lo say nothing of a de- termined application of suspension of driving privileges which has removed thousands of dangerous drivers from our roads." Accident Losses Decrease The “first break" in the increasing 5011 of highway accidents came in 1938 when vehicle and driver ragistrations reached new high totms. he said.
