ALMOST daily of late the railways are
meeting with serious accidents, De-
struction of rolling stock is bad enough
but the frequent loss of life makes these
occurrences a matter of great concern
to the public. Hardly a clay goes by
without chronicling somebody killed at
railway crossings and it is very evident
something in the way of preventative
will be demanded by the public. The
cry out against level crossings will com-
pel railways to supply adequate pro-
tection in the line of electrlc bell. gates,
watchmen 01' some other system that
will properly obviate the too frequent
slaughters.
MONDAY was St. Andrew's Day but
was not dbserved in this locality by any
public manifestation, For several years
Scotch Concerts were one of the events
on this anniversary occasion with
occasional banquets when the hours
were well Riled with Scottish Song and
Story after the haggis et al bad been
carefully attended to. Long ago Evan
McColl wrote :
"The Day an' a' wha honor it" -
What music in that simple phrase
It fires my blood to fever heat,
It minds me of far blooming braes,
Fair 'Scotia's Fortbs and Clydes and
Speys
Seem gliding at my very feet :
A patriot ling exultant has
"The Day au' a' wha honor it."
