"YOU BET
YO LIFE"
The spirit of the twentieth cent-
ury is speed.
The automobile drug -Chugged
way into the Canadian scene as the
tumultuous twentieth century be-
gan. Nobody took' this "foolisle
contraption" very seriously. It wee
a passing fad—a relatively harmie.s.<
toy for the ycutlg bloods of the day
to play with --and kf an celasionai
chicken lust its life, the damage
could be righted by a few contrite
words and perhaps a dollar.
The fad, however, did not fade.
Instead, the automobile became an
all-important factor in modern civil-
ization.
It is unfortunate that we have not
yet learned to enjoy this marvellous
instrument of transportation with-
out paying a tremendous price.
Year after year the 'tarfee death
record grows worse. That it did
not improve in 1036, at a time when
most encouraging advances were
noted in law enforcements and mai.
fic engineering in general, indicates
but one thing --that highway safetr
is a personal problem which mutt
be solved by each individual him-
self, and not One which will yield
readily to wholesale solution,
The Mane problem is YOUR
problem.) Your stoke in it is high.
for it 18 your very life. Will you
continue to bet your life, to smbsti.
into chance for caution and nncet•.
Minty for safety, or will you, •bv
driving sanely, do your part to end
this senseless lottery?
There is one simple rule of driv.
ing that will make our sterets and
highways safe for everyone who us•
es then): "Drive as you would .ave
others drive."
And that simply means "TRY
COURTESY" every minute you are
,behind the wheel of a car, just as
you do in your business and social
life every day.

DEATH TAKES
NO HOLIDAY
The War on the labor front In the
United States seems to be conduct..
ed with bitterness, biooclshed and
bomlbing such as have marked the
miniature world war in Spain, News
photos from <lixerent .points aeroas
the line present an appalling spec-
t•aea bf kWaltlg and wounding, IIOW
bitter the fighting is can be seen at
a glauoe, JUst what the fighting is
;about 'is not so clear.
y Settling labor disputes with 1na-
chine guns, tear gas bombs, bricks
and clubs is an old story in malty
American cities. Such riotous
demonstrations have always . been
few in Canada but for that we can
not thank our numerous Comments,:
agitators who have endeavoured to
turn every discussion into a fist-
; fight and every strike into a war,
The great tragedy of the new lead-
ership of John L. Lewis in America-,
labor is his indifference to, in fact
his encouragement of, lawlessness
and violence in industrial dispute,
Ruthlessly ambitious, Lewis is ap
parently not unwilling to sacrifice
any number of lives and eyes au 1
Ileitis among his followers and the
guardians of the peace if he can but
ride to power.
That Canada is not witnessing a
similar tI la
r \� •av

c i foal
activity,
of
sacrifice of lives and destruction eel
property is due entirely to the the
termite -el stand against C.I,O, law-
lessness taken by the Minister of
Justice and the Premiers of On-
tario and Quebec.
A BISHOP
ON DANCING
Members of the cloth so often
conn nnn dancing that it 38 almost
startling to fled the Bishop of
Birmiugbam, Dr. E. W. Barnes, say-
ing a good word for it. Dr. Barnes., h
in opening an Anglican Church par- ;
islt hall, said dancing was "a whole-
some recreation for young men and v
women," and he went on to suggest , to
that if the Church gave its approval
to amusements it should see that
those amusements are properly et- 8
ganized, so that they take place in
a wholesome atmosphere, "1 woult
notch rather," be said, "have young
people dancing in a hale such as
this, than in a public hall where
occasionally conduct might not be
what it should be,"
Probably the majoirty of clergy-
men condemn dancing and would
not agree with Bishop Barnes that
under any circumstances is it .i
wholesome recreation, Dancing is
dancing and someUtlug widen
churches do not actually endorse.
Yet they would have to adroit .that
a large proportion (in some denom-
.ivatious a majority) of their young
people—and many of the not so
young—deuce, and are moral, clean -
living and active •members of the
church orgauirlationa, including
probably the choir. It is not fair to
condemn dancing because et what
may happen at some dances. The
unclean 10 the exception and not
tate rule. To most people it is what
the bishop says it is—e. wholesome
recreation, It has become so uni-
versal that the churches cannot ig-
nore It altogether, and Dr, Baynes
makes a sensible point when he
says tbat it would be wiser for
Cimt•Ches to recognize that fact and
,to exercise some supervision over
dancing, To stand on the outside
and merely condemn without at-
tempting anything constructive or
remedial will not get anywhere
With the problem, such as 15 is,
We recall a minister who was
called to a church not 100 malas
from this pity. He name from the
Old Country, where ,the churches
ae a whole take a broader attt-
tilde toward some tlilngs titan they

people of hie o111u•eh Sould not be

there would be en hour of cianeitlel

Said it was much better (to have

oonditlons. This minister wont

Both Sides of the Question
THE considerable public interest now
existing with regard to the problems
of temperance, prompts the Brewing
Industry to state its side of the
question.
Providing as it does a living for
thousands, this Industry claims con-
fidently in Ontario the same respect
that it is accorded throughout the
British Empire; for its sense of public
responsibility is the same!
Consider the facts. Moderation and
true temperance are causes which the
Brewing Industry in its own interest
must support.
For moderation means respect for
law and order. It means a decrease
in secret drinking—a reduction of
drunkenness. It means a chance for

ing of certain aspects of the problems of temperance
and local option.
the ordinary decent citizen to exercise
self-control.
In fact at every point it means the
very opposite of excess—the very
opposite of prohibition.
For prohibition whether general or
limited, does not mean temperance.
Surely that fact, at least, has been
abundantly proved.
Rather it means the return of the
bootlegger. It means the growth of
rackets. It means making illegal
drinking the "smart" thing to do, with
the result that drunkenness becomes
a distinction instead of a disgrace.
No thinking person can possibly
want the return of these evils — yet
that is what propaganda against our
Industry seeks to achieve!
