C: Hemingway) , I arrived a few minutes early for church last Sunday morning. While waiting for the service; to begin, T noticed the- stirs shining .on the memorial window. My eyes dropped tothe seven names of those who gave their lives in the Great War .that -we Might -live~. in freedom, What freedom? While ' Ponder- ing, my eyes . travelled a short distahce to the left -and I realized I was looking at theellQnor Roll, of the Second W1orld"°'War. Again I realized that 'stars indicated that three had made the supreme sacri- fice that we might live in freedom. Do we appreciate* this freedom?: our homes, our educational sys- tem, ow .choice of work, 'our f ree- dom of religion, our freedom of travel? Our freedom tom drive our cars when and where we wish with only a minimum of restrictions! Wliat a privilege' it is in this land of many miles! It is also a respon- sibility. During nine years of war 10 Young men gave their lives'to pur- chase this for us. Memories are short but in the minute ,or two that remained 1. Was able to think of dive who had lost theirjives in car accidents. There will• be no memorial win- dow. honoring them; their' names Will ;not be inscribed on twnor rolls. They did,riot give their lives for a worthy cause. They lost their lives because of care- lessness -of their awn or that of someone else. . `. ' Wd can blatne our, manufactur- ers for, building ears with too much speed and hap -hazard design with regard to safety. Yet, in the final analysis it is the driver who is responsible in almost every case. Mechanical failure causes an in- significant number of accidents. Police offheers, have stated in con- fidence that at least 75% of the accidents they 'investigate are caused directly Cr indirectly by drinking. However, our laws are Such that only a fraction of the drivers are charged With impaired or drunken driving.

Future Water Level -Of Lake Huron Is Threatened By Michigan -Ontario Plans Lower water- level of Lake HuronDetroit is the anly community oft0 ith resultant wider beaches along the entire lakefront is seen as a distant possibility for the future if proposed plans of Michigan and Ontario are carried' out. For some time now a pipeline has been considered from Lake Huron to carry water to western and central Ontario' centres whose water supplies are dwindling. In Michigan, also, plans are proposed to transport water from Lake Huron to serve a widespread sec- tion of south-eastern Michigan. Should both_.gf these proposals eventually become a' reality, the water level of Lake Huron would be dropped considerably. The beach at Goderich harbor, for ex- ample, could be quite a few feet wider than ever before. Only cor- rective to extreme low water levels might be to divert streams and rivers now heading north into Hud- son's Bay, James Bay, etc., and - head them into the Great Lakes system. About a year ago, the Mayor of Royal Oak, •Michigan, told a gen- eral meeting of the Builders' As- sociation of Metropolitan Detroit of a plan for bringing water from Lake Huron for use in Oakland and Macomb counties in Michigan. The Detroit News recently car- ried a news story telling of the fore another meeting of the afore- mentioned builders' association., He told of a survey that had since been' made by a San Francisco en- gineering firm on the practicability of the grades. of the project.
