Industry Step-Up Causes
Additional Accidents
Toronto — A step-up in industry as
a result of the war has brought about
an increase in accidents to workmen,
John Harold, .chairman of the Work
men’s Compensation Board, said in a
statement given to the administrative
committee of the Industrial Accident
Prevention Associations, Accident re
ports are being filed at the rate of
4Q0 daily—-almost twice the rate that
prevailed six months ago. Mr, Har
old urged closer co-operation by all
parties concerned so that greater con
trol could be obtained, H, Mabspn,
chief inspector of the I.A.P.A., told
the committee there were four partic
ular reasons for the situation. These
he enumerated .as follows: 1, New em
ployees. 2, Lack of proper instruction
covering work to which men were un
accustomed, either on new or existing
machines. 3, Increased pressure of
work on those already employed. 4,
Lack of adequate supervision.
Canada and U,S. Confer on Defences
Washington — President Roosevelt
announced that the United States
Government is carrying on conversa
tions with the Canadian Government
looking toward “defence of‘the Amer
ican Hemisphere.” The president’s
disclosure came after he had announc
ed that his Government was negotiat
ing with Britain for the acquisition
of naval and lair bases by the United
States for Western Hemisphere de-
■fence, with special reference to„, the
Panama Canal. The president then
said he had another item of news on,
which he would also make a direct
quotable statement, which was: “The
United States Government is carry
ing on conversations with the Canad
ian Government looking toward de
fense of the American hemisphere.”
Hungary’s Terms, To Rumania •
Called Severe
Turnu - Severin, Rumania — Rum
anian delegates to a conference on
Hungary's claims to Transylvania re
turned to Bucharest to report to King
Carol on what was described here as
an “extremely severe” Hungarian pro
posal. Hungary’s delegates submitted
a completely new plan for settlement
of the dispute for the rich province.
The proposal was believed to be bas
ed on a Magyar minimum demand for
three-fourth of Transylvania.
next day . , , because each day
brings new play , . and the toys
hold new fascinations.
Of -course a person doesn't think
about that when they’re half running
to the telephone and step on a rubber
doll that squeaks out in unmistakable
anguish. The glamor of toys is unap
preciated when you grope in the dark
ened kitchen and the sharp edge of a
toy car nips your bare feet. Sulphur
ous language pours forth on occasion
when arriving home just a wee bit
late your foot upsets a pile of build
ing blocks into a. sand-pail . . . and
the noise is terrific only to be follow
ed by a dead silence and Mrs. Phil’s
voice enquiring from the bedroom, “Is
that you?”, and the YOU is to some
extent in provoked tones,
I find myself buying toys, For sev
eral days in walking by the win
dow in Tim Murphy’s store where the
toys are displayed I eyed an enormous
doll. The natural abilities of that doll
as set forth on the display card were
amazing. It could talk and had anoth
er natural tendency of babies . . so
that at last screwing -up my courage
the purchase was made. Of course,
getting into conversation with some
of the neighbours at the chopping
mill, the package chanced to turn over
.in, my arms and the “wail” that came
from it made them eye me rather sus
piciously. Embarrassedly the situa
tion was explained because of a dread
of being arrested o’n a kidnapping
charge.
Patricia Ann eyed the unveiled won
der in a rather reserved way. In place
of going into an ecstasy over its abil
ities to cry she drowneef out its feeble
efforts with a life-sized whoop. The
only thing that- would pacify her was
a little, gaudy red tea strainer ... a
premium from a pack'age of tea. Since
then she has relaxed a little of her
unfriendliness and manages to play a
little with the doll, but still shows a

Swiss Protest Bombing Planes
Crossing Country
Berne — The Swiss Government or
dered its minister to London to pro
test against violation of the Swiss
frontier Tuesday night and Wednes
day morning, when more than 30 for
eign warplanes crossed Switzerland
twice. The planes first flew over
Switzerland Southward and then
crossed the country again on a return
at time when British planes were
■bombing industrial centres in North
ern Italy. Switzerland is on’ a direct
line from London to the bombed Ital
ian regions.
Arranging for More Electric Power
Toronto — Premier Hepburn said
that the Ontario Hydro-Electric Pow
er Commission has arranged to re
ceive additional power supplies and
that an announcement concerning
their size and source would be made
shortly. Expected future industrial
expansion due to Ontario’s war activ
ity forced the commission to seek fur
ther sources of power, Mr. Hepburn
said, adding that regardless of what
happens in Europe or the Far East it
is now certain* that Canada and the
United States cannot stop until their
defence programs are completed. Pre
sent demand for power has reached
2,500,000 horsepower, he said.
No New Ontario Taxes Says Hepburn
Toronto — Possibility of new pro
vincial taxation has been removed be
cause Ontario is continuing to main
tain a satisfactory ‘budgetaray positi-
tion Premier Hepburn said here. Pie
also announced there would be no fall
session of the Legislature and that no
by-ejections would be held in five va
cant ridings, just nowi Unless some
thing unforeseen happens we’ll come
through on oUr estimates, the premier
said. “Our present position is
sound.”

There’s something appealing about
d.shattered bunch of toys. A golden
head bobs around and tiny hands and
arms are busy about childish play.
Each toy is something new to be dis
covered and played with and finally
discarded. The head starts nodding
and the toys lose their appeal and a
voice begins to protest lack of atten
tion , ♦ . and Patricia Amt is picked
up to be played with, fed, or put to
bed, as the case may be. There they
are « »■ » scattered around the floor,

iment '.to children like the ordinary lit-

'the ’latest thing in toys would provide.
Having discovered that her legs

new playthings. The little soot door
'under the oven . door on the stove
came open for her one day and she
was quite fascinated by the gritty,
'black substance that poured forth in
to 'her Jap. The only difficulty was
that she was discovered before she
■could really apply it where it would

Underneath the kitchen couch there
reposes a pair of well-worn but most
comfortable slippers of the type
known as gaiters. Relaxing from the
day’s work it is my customary prac

the verandah for a smoke after supper.
Last night was no exception until I
slipped my foot into the right slipper
. . . only to have the toes double up
and pain shoot up in the leg. Exam
