13,336 DRIVERS OF MOTOR
VEHICLES. IN AUTO
ACCIDENTS IN 1931
There are many persons who at
tribute- the great majority of acci
dents on the streets and highways
to carelessness on the part of a few
reckless drivers, or to inexperience.
These would receive a shocik if they
were, to glance over the official sum
mary of last year’s accidents as com
piled by Motor Vehicles Branch of
the Ontario Department -of High
ways. . ”
No one believes there are thirteen
thousand reckless drivers in Ontar
io, yet as many as this were con
cerned in death or injury to 9,06-5
persons in 1931. More than three-
fourths pf the drivers involved were
. experienced, that is they had been
driving motor vehicles for a yeqr or
more.

AN OLD BICYCLE
Now that the Toronto story about’
the old automobile has gone the
rounds of the press we have decided
to give the world something just as
remarkable in the way of a machine
which has given long and faithful
service. The other day we were
talking to Donald .McRae, veteran
suitmakex of the St'one Town and
some way or other the conversation
centred about bicycles and after It
had progressed a while Mr. IM-cRae
let us in op a secret, on the fact that
the bicycle he rides about the streets
of the town each day, is undoubted
ly the oldest pedal cycle in regular
use in the district. Mr. McRae says
-he pruchased the machine, a Colum
bia, from the late’ Robert Didk^km
While he was clerk in A. Beattie &
Co.’s store, thirty-six years ago and
he has ridden it ever since.
To show how economical bicycle
transportation has been in the case
of Mr. McRae let it be said that this
machine, although the tires are the
only parts that, have been renewed
.since the- day of purchase, it is in as
Ifeood a running* condition as it orig-
■dTinally was7 when Donald planked
down the sum of $107 for it. We’d
like to see the automobile that holds
a record of performance like this.
This old bicycle has been ridden
practically every day in the sum
mer time since it was bought
many occasions ' Donald has
it long distances, to London,
ich, Grand Bend and even to
to. His son, Calvin. Mc'Rae, a well-
known local amateur bicycle rider
and racer of the past, rode this ma
chine in a great many events and it
was this old bicycle that .the latter
rode in the famous Dunlop Toronto
to Windsor bicycle marathon some
thirty-five years ago.

FROM WHAT PART?
We note with deep interest an advertisement that rea-ds: “25
per cent, off all ladies’, men’s and children’s bathing suits.”
And that in spite of frequent warnings! Oh, dear me! What
is the present generation coming to? We were pretty sure that
the 25 per cent, was all that was in sight this year.

• The state farming and the collective farming of Russia have
fallen on evil days. Just when Russia wanted wheat most, her
new methods of farming are failing her. It seems that no busi
ness prospers when it is not given attention by the people who
should reap the profit. , The man who carries the swill should have
the largest Share of the bacon; the man who plows the fields and
harvests the grain- should gather in the major share of the profits from' his labor. I

THE RIGHT SORT
We have just heard of a school boy who has earned a brand
ne suit of clothes and some money for his next term’s books. All
this during holidays. We had a look at him and we con
fess we liked his appearance. His muscles are as hard a iron. His
eye is -cleaT. His appetite is the very best. He- has learned a good
deal about machinery, about birds and cows and an odd score of
other things. He has been in Sabbath School every Sunday. He
has won the respect of a dozen people who never will forget him.
,He has learned to get on'with on with a hard job without sulking.
In fact he has gone a long distance towards being able to ma|ke his
own living. He has done his full’ share in learning how to win
the confidence of folk whose good opinion is worth the having.
We’d like to meet this young chap forty years from now. He’ll still
be keeping step with prosperity.

JUST THINK A MINUTE
We arg well aware that our present financial condition is per
plexing and difficult. We are aware,' too, of the heroic struggle
that thousands of brave men and women are majking to keep their
heads, financially, above water. But making all allowances for
every troublesome and apparently baffling circumstances that now
confronts the world, we still believe that we are not facing condi
tions that are altogether new or strange, or unparaleled for ar
duousness. '
Men still living recall the days when dressed hogs sold for
$2.25 per cwt.« Others relate the difficulties of securing credit and
tell of the easy way in which the strong were allowed, legally, to
oppress the weak. The scanty fare on which the folk of this prov
ince fared for years on end is a matter of re-cord. The problems of
those days were not one whit less intricate, all things considered,
than are the questions of this day. Nor did a raven come with
food or advice to the Elijah’s of thbse far off times, times that are
not so far off, however that they are not remembered. Happy
chance and “picking up of the times” did not bring in a better day.
Everybody did not survive the stress of those stormy circumstances.
The lazy died find Were buried as failures. Those who refused to
practice .self denial sank to be seen no more. Those who refused
to adapt themselves to their circumstances passed out of the fight
and are forgotten. Bad business methods brought misery.
On the other hand those who put their brains in steep, who put
their faith in God and their own efforts and who set themselves
for a long pull and hard pull won out. Few, very few, made targe
fortunes, but those who worked and toiled terribly saved the day
for themselves and for the community in whidlr they lived. All this
is a matter of history, Anyone who digs for the information win
- find that evefy word we are saying is strictly true, The facts bear
us out.
The big difficulty of the present day is two fold. First folk
are depending oh the government or some Such outside body to do
fdr them What they may do for themselves. Others are looking
. for Providence to sacrifice their manhood by working some sort of z
financial miracle. Buch thoughtless watchers may as well be told
that they look in vaip. The second part of the difficulty is the
foolish effort to feed a 1929 stomach add to gratify 1929 tastes on
a 1932 income.
