When nature goes on the rampage such as it has at Niagara this year, things con structed by man appear unable ,to stand the strain. The “Honeymoon Bridge” under this terrific pressure buckled and fell a tangled mass on the ice surface, The loss of the bridge cuts an important means of communication between Canada and the United States but this is not so serious a matter as that which hap pened to one power plant and may possibly happen to another. When nature takes things in her own hands she has no regard for the property that lies in her path. If the Queenston power plant were to be destroyed or damaged to the extent of ceasing operations what a serious, thing it would be. This is one reason,. along with many others, why it is necessary for Ontario to have a reserve of power. If an electrical system such as the Nia gara System were forced to cease operations or curtail operations very Soon it would create a great hardship on the people who are served by this vas> system. Factories would have to cease operations, people throughout the system would be inconvenienced and many would not be able to carry on in them homes so dependent on this supply of power are they. This great ice jam shows ns that we need always on hand a reserve of power to meet any emergency that may arise, * OTTAWA GETS TQ WORK Last year when Parliament met at Ottawa it was a hurried session as the Coronation would take place in London in May. This year there is no such a happening to rush the bus iness of Government along. Several very important measures will be brought forward which will take much time and much discussion. It is most likely that the triangular trade agreements which involve Can ada, Great Britain and the United States, will be one that will create great discussion. This matter has been receiving the attention of the Governments of these countries for some time and much publicity has been given to it. The question of the export of pow er is another item that will take up considerable time. The discussions on this question will no doubt be very heated. Another measure to establish a transport commission to administer control over Canadian transportation facilities will again be brought before the house by Mr. Howe. This bill passed the House last year but failed to pass the Senate. Other business of importance will be the Unemployment Insurance on a Dominion-wide scale, the reduction in the age for receiving Old Age Pen sions, defense measures, and the Bud get. All in all it now appears that this session will be a long and interesting might have been a serious fire.

THE TRAGIC LOSS OF YOUNG LIVES (Toronto Star Weekly) Half a hundred lives, mostly young lives, were lost the other day in a college fire at St. Hyacinthe, Quebec. It was a tragedy that brought sor row to sympathetic hearts every where, It prompted questionings as well as regrets. School authorities in other places asked themselves, “Could that happen here, too? What can we do that will prevent it happ ening?” A disaster of that kind, so sudden in its onset and so immediately' fatal to so many people, awakens an im mediate response in the hearts of hu mankind, At the same time tlicre was another headline in the press: “Five hundred children die in rebel air raids.” But Spain is so far away and St. Hyancinthe is so near that the five hundred, seem hardly so many as our own lost fifty. Neverthless Can adians were deeply shocked; how cruelly unnecessary such slaughter; how terrible war is; how numerous its victims. Yet right here in Ontario children have for years been suffering and dy ing just as unnecessarily; not in their fifties or their hundreds at one time, but certainly in their hundreds over a comparatively short period. They have been victims of bovine tubercu losis, the type, that is transmitted from the cow to the child through un treated milk. A simple process of heating and chilling:'the milk elimin ates this disease. It eliminates it so thoroughly that in Toronto, where the process is compulsory, not one child has developed bovine tubercu losis in many years. Yet to hospitals here the little victims of this disease have continued to come—the children of other communities where prevent ive treatment of milk is not compul sory by law. The treatment is call pasteuriza tion. It eliminates typhoid, fever, un- dulant fever, and other milk-borne diseases as well as bovine tuberculo sis. The Ontario government will ask the legislature to make pasteurization compulsory' throughout the province, and no wonder. The wonder is that such action has been so long delayed. Goderich Council Approved of School Addition Goderich Town Council has put its stamp of approval on the new $23,000 addition to the Collegiate Institute to accommodate classes in shop work and household economics called for by new regulations, At a joint meet ing with the collegiate board council agreed to provide the funds. • The tender of a London firm, Puth- erbough Construction Company, at $18,000 for the construction work, had already'been tentatively accepted by the collegiate board. The department of education will rebate 50 per cent, of this amount, and will also pay 50 pei- cent, of the cost of equipment, estimated at $4,000. Student Fractured Leg Orland Vennai'd, 10-year-old Public School lad, met with a serious acci dent which resulted in a badly frac tured left leg.

Went After Wolves, Got Rabbits Twenty-six Goderich sportsmen, arinbd With shotguns, spent the day in the Pine River section on the bor der of Bruce and Huron Counties, in quest of wolves, but all they saw was tracks and their hunting Bag was 52 jack rabbits.
