There were 10,484 acci dents, 560 persons were killed and 3,839 were injured. Accidents in 1935 were greater than in 1934 by 1,203, the number killed was 48 more and the injured in 1935 exceeded the in jured in 1934 by 849. Despite the fact that the Govern ment spends a great deal of money warning motorists to be more careful also the great amount of publicity •given this matter by the newspapers and the radio, accidents continue to increase, the death list grows and many more are caused suffering. The only way that accidents can be reduced to a minimum is by the motorists individually making up their minds to be more careful. It will be but a short time now un til traffic on the highways and by ways will be at the peak and if ac cidents are to be fewer it is directly up io the individual mortist. Do your share this year, avoid mot or accidents. % % % Horticulture Premiums The local Horticulture Society have announced in this week’s issue their premium list for this year. Recently we urged citizens to join this society and intended to let it go at that—But when we saw the list of premiums that the society is offering this year we could not resist calling the atten tion of the public to this list that is on the front page of this issue. One wonders how the society •give such fine premiums when fee is so small ($1.00) but the is they are and all citizens should 'take advantage of this offer. -I- sjc Red Cross To The Reserve The Canadian Red Cross promptly ■sent $1,000 to aid the relief of the •suffering people in the flooded areas of the Eastern United, This society has also had considerable work to do m the flooded areas of Canada, and I ■so often we look on the work of the ! Red Cross as being confined to war i periods, but their usefulness in peace ; time disasters is such that it is only! ■controlled by the limitation of its ! .funds. | The Red Cross served a most use-! ful purpose during the war and con tinues to serve equal as well during peace times. It is an organization that deserves much support. * * * # Suggests Lethal Gas A bill has been introduced into the House by Dr. J. K. Blair, M.R to substitute lethal gas for hanging. The minister of Justice is looking into this matter. There are several states that use this method in preference to the electric chair. Many have, since this bill has been introduced, suggested that capital punishment be done away with al together and once again this oft dis cussed question is to the front. We believe that capital punishment has its place in protecting society, but we also believe that when it is nec essary to take a life a more humane method should be used than hanging. fa: # * ❖ Communism has made great strides in certian sections of Canada.

He was halfway across when one of his hearty swings crashed through shell ice. He hung on to the axe, but the impetus of his swing was too great. Bill wanted to let go, but was a split second too late and he followed the axe right into the gaping hole. ANNOUNCING DEALER V---------------------------------------------- r 1 L-rt?!!
