They said the "Royal tour routes" now being drafted would be released in various parts of the province a few weeks prior to the arrival of the King and Queen at those points, Records showed that an average of 1060 persons lost their lives each year during this period, and 1,900 others were injuriedâ€"many of them incaâ€" pacitated for lengthy periods. The maâ€" jority of these accidents, it was pointâ€" ed out, were classed as "preventable" and could be avoided in 1939 by the eliminatiOn of three fundamental but easily â€" corrected _ accident _ causesâ€" momentary inattention, excessive speed and impatience. The department of highnways was atâ€" so planning for safer driving during the visit of the King and Queen on another safety «Afront." Department officials were holding conferences with highway traffic engineers and traffic experts of the provincial police departâ€" ment. The purpose of these conferences, it was explained, was to map out a series of routes by which motorists would be able to drive in greater safety and comfort to the larger Ontario centres where Their Majesties will visit. Every attempt was made an official stated, to see that all main and secâ€" ondary roads would be utilized in the most efficient manner. It is hoped the plan will succeed in disseminating the flow of traffic as much as possible and prevent congestion and delay. Statistics of the accident recording division of the highways department revealed that unless every motor veâ€" hicle operator and every pedestrian in Ontario joined in the current accident prevention plan, some 2,000 people might be prevented from seeing Their Majesties and taking part in the cele« bration connected with the Royal tour.

The Hill Billie 1t De Nort‘ Country" Verses for Showers for Spring Brides Oh, the surest sign of springtime, Apart from bird or flower, Is when a girl demands a rhyme For some preâ€"nuptial shower. To see a couple of dishâ€"mops sudâ€" denly yanked from a paper bag with the demand that a ‘"poem" be writâ€" ten awbout them, is a discouraging exâ€" perience for any poet, even when the demand comes from a pretty girl. And the spring is such a busy time for poets, too, when rcbins sing cheeriy on the lawns where golden crocuses are mutely pleading for a sonnet. Nevoertheless, the call of the dishâ€"mop cannot be ignored when an earnest maiden explains that there is to be a kitchen shower for Rosemary toâ€"morâ€" row night, and every offering must be gracedâ€"with a verse. So, :o the acâ€" companiment of groans. and honest sweat, we brought forth this: Accept these homely dishâ€"mons, With all my hapoy wishes, I want to make it casy When hubby does the dishes.

The question in short, is one of choosing between young men left in idleness on street corners or us wanderers on the highways, and young men given useful training, physical deâ€" velopment, and more capacity for wholesome living. Nice gentry were the oldâ€"time pirates of the Spanish Main as were also the Spanish invaders. They had the gentle custom of despatching one or two perâ€" sons on the spot where they buried their loot so their ghosts could watch over it and frighten away seekers after the hidden treasure. Today many of the inhabitants of the island of Jamaâ€" ica, in the British West Indies, beâ€" lieve there is much of this wealth burâ€" ied in huge treasure jars three to four feet high and tapering to the base. Their hope is that an ancient ghost will appear during the night and lead them to one of the fabulous treasure jJars. Visitors to Jamaica by "Lady" linâ€" ers of the Canadian National Steamships are much intrigued by these stories of buried pirate treasure and that left by the Spaniards when they fled the island before the conquering En:lish in 1665. (From Ottawa Journal) In another column on this page The Journal prints a letter from Colonel J. T. Clarke, of Ottawa (former Direcâ€" tor General Medical Services for Canaâ€" dian forces) writing from South Africa dealing with the South African Govâ€" ernment‘s system of Youth Battalions for the training of unemployed youth. We should like to think that this letter will be read by members of the Doâ€" minion Government and Parliament, and particularly by the Minister of Labor. South Africa‘s Youth Battalions, as Colonel Clarke makes clear, are not a military setâ€"up, and they are not conâ€" scripted. _ Under_ military . discipline, and given the benefit. of. the physical development that . goes with it, they are recruited. voluntarily, enlist for a mimium of one year‘s service., At the end of that period they are better fittâ€" ed, physically and in every other way, to take employment. Meanwhile, durâ€" ing enlistment, they are rescued from idleness, from danger of demoralizaâ€" tion; are given more of physical and moral stamina for the tasks ahead of them, On that ground alone it should be worth a trial in Canadaâ€"worth study by our Government, at any rate.

The Youth Plan That Works Successfully in Australia still critical irates Placed Ghosts as Watchers Over Loot Right Flag to Fly During the Royal Visit to Canada Considerable is being shown by various cities: and towns that the King and Queen will visit in May, in what flags are to be flown in honour of the occasion. The Royal Standard may be hoisced only when the King or Queen gare acâ€" tually in a dbuilding and never when Their Majestios are passing in a proâ€" cessicn. The present form of standard has been in use since the acbes‘sxcvn of @ueen Victoria. It bears th> arms of England, threse lions couchant, in the first and fourth quarters; the arms of Seotland, a singlo lion rampant, in the second}; and tho harp of Wales in the third. Tt is understood that the usual cusâ€" tom is for an officer of the royal staff to have the standard and deliver it to the proper person with instructions for its use. It must be returned to the officer as soon as it is hauled down. The Union Jack is the proper flaz to be ficwn during the royal visit. The red ensign is a mercantile marine flag, the blue ensign is for Canadian govâ€" ernment ships, and the white ensign is for the use of the navy. From a relatively minor position only 25 years ago, says an article in the Canadian National Magazine, Canadian mine producticn and export of mine products have risen to the place where Canada now ranks as one of the prinâ€" cipal sources of supply for many of important minerals. Three provinces, Ontario, British Columbia and Quebec, eccntribute 80 per cent. of the total, or 90‘ ner cent of the mstal production. Two provinces, Nova Scotia and Alberta are responsible for 75 per cent of the fuel production. Seventyâ€"five per eert of the nonâ€"metallic production other than fuel is from Ontario and Quebece. Last year‘s metal production in Canâ€" ada, the article goes on, included more than 265,000 tons of copper, ‘205,000 tons of lead, â€" 185,000 tons of zinc, 112.000 tons of nickel, 4,000,000 ounces of golid, and 22,000,000 ounces of silver. Amon:s the nonâ€"metallic items were 15,775,000 tons ofâ€"coal, 410,000 tons of asbestos, 1,000,000 tons of gypsum, almost 460,000 tons of common salt, and 3,000,000 barâ€" rels of petroléum.
