Some of us like to drive slowly; others like to travel faster. (I am not referring to the “speed fiends” who drive recklessly and dangerously, but to the rank and file of sane, sensible drivers.) There is a wide variation in our preferred speeds. When the road is clear and open, we have every 7 reasonable right to give these preferences free rein, and travel at any speed which suits us — up to the legal limit. But, I believe you will agree that when traffic is heavy, it is neither courteous nor fair to travel faster or slower than the general speed at which ’ the traffic is moving. At such times, the deliberately slow driver blocks the " J I t ....* - t made in Bryce Township, twentysave his country from complete dom- miles southwest. Latest reports saidiination by Italy.

Selassie to Resume War on Italy Geneva—Emperor Haile Selassie officially informed the League of Na­ tions Assembly that he is’ reorganiz­ ing his tribal armies to resume war­ fare against the Italian invaders un­ der a Government appointed by the Negus at Gore. He said he had ord­ ered Ras Imru, former leader of his Northwestern force, to prepare his forces for action from Gore, in West­ ern Ethiopia.

Near Peace in Palestine Jerusalem—Although scattered Ar­ ab disorders continued, peace appear­ ed to be nearing in Palestine after almost three months of Arab violence that cost the lives of more than 14Q Jews, Arabs and Christians. France Would Forgive Germany Paris—France is willing to forgive Germany’s violation of the Locarno treaty if Chancellor Hitler agrees to negotiate a new security pact, it was said in authoritative circles. Premier Blum, it was added, is ready to aban­ don the French demand that the Reich promise not to refortify the Rhineland and to limit troops in the region, in the hope of getting Ger­ many into a "new Locarno” line-up.

Ottawa Cuts Relief Contribution The ten per cent, cut in the Do­ minion’s contribution for relief, which was announced in Ottawa, will prob­ ably mean a cut of about five per cent, in Ontario relief. The Province is “in the middle” of the new relief tangle. The Queen’s Park authorities have the ten per cent, cut in the Do­ minion relief grant on one side; and the municipalities clamoring for more relief on the other side. To Form New Locarno Geneva—A step toward fashioning a new Locarno agreement in which Germany would be included was tak­ en by British, French and Belgian statesmen. Representatives of three of the four powers still adhereing to the original five-nation Locarno pact —which Germany denounced in re­ militarizing the Rhineland—decided at a conference that “a further meet­ ing of the Locarno powers whose re­ presentatives drew up the London agreement of March 19 would be de­ sirable.” 1 NEWS of the DISTRICT road for all who are behind him. It becomes irksome and wearying to those who have long trips still ahead of them — and finally induces them to “cut in” or take chances which they would never take under other circumstances. On the other hand, it is equally discourteous for fast drivers to cut in and out of the traffic lane when traffic IS moving at a reasonable speed. It upsets and Un­ nerves the more cautious drivers; increases the acci­ dent hazard tremendpusly; and invariably saves only a very FEW minutes of time in the end. I appeal to BOTH kinds of drivers to let themselves be governed by the true SPIRIT of Courtesy — to consider the convenience and the safety of fellow­ motorists, as well as their rights. Let us show the same courtesy to others on the highway, that we show to visitors in our homes. It will go a long way toward making our highways SAFER, and in making motoring still more pleasant. Canada’s Wheat Carry-Over to be Reduced Canada’s burdensome wheat carry­ over, which has played such a dom­ inant role during the past few years in retarding farm recovery, will at least be cut in half if present condi­ tions in world countries prevail for the remainder of the crop year. Al­ ready serious drought throughout Europe has turned importers’ eyes to­ ward Canada, and wheat clearances for the year to date have reached an almost unprecedented rate. The crop carryover that aggregated 230,000,000 bushels on June 12, 1935, totalled only 176,000,000 bushels, the same date this year, as a result of the heavy foreign demand.
