Warning bells and lights, watehntan's flats. and crossing gates give notice of the approach of tains yet there are far more ace -Meets caused by au.tontobiles crashing In- to the side of trains than by trellis striking automobiles, It ,is, here that the co-operation of the motorist is required. In one province (Quebec) the law l'eanlres that every vehln'e come to a full atop before crossing a railway track. The observance of that law would prevent many oecdemtg, It would decrease the crop or grey stairs in the heads of many railroal engineers and in some cases, would probably in. crease their working days. But 11 is a la.wrwhich can only be sue ceseful through the co-operatioi of the motorist and, if one is to judge by aotual eyperfence on the high- way, such co-operation is the ex- ception rather than the rule. With another motoring season gentling well under way it is per, haps timely to stress the impor- tance of "safety first' 'at all antes. Time is important, but the attempt to save a few seconds In elan ped Cline, when one le driving a motor car, may he a,lmatter.et lifts' rola death in more ways' than one. Beating the train may seen like thrilling sport to some drivers. But it is the cause of most crossing ac- cidents with their attendant wast- age of human life and property. The railways ;preach and practlie sefety at all times and train 'their employees along these lines. They enanot train the motorist to whom the Irighway is the free and open road. They can and do, however, ask his 13a -option in their at- tempt to reduce the accident tall as far as posetible, The careful motorist exercises special ca u`.:nn, whenever he approaches a railroad May his tribe increase!

Film men they are. , They lived in the town; they appear to all be of the age where they would be worklag, ,They were of the sort which take part in local affairs, and yet ,vitnin 28 years they are classed as '•un. known" in the town which they must have known so well, These ,players of lfstowel were for the mast part young folk, so it must be the world outside calls them from the towns and they respond to the beckoning hand.

That is what the Canadian p•t,1 a- meut has been discussing, Tne broadcasting ljlieiness in Canada is controlled by the Canadian Broad. casting 'Corporation and the 'or• roartion in turn is responsible to Parliamentary concern when mi- litia and hire. the members, so that way it becomes a matter of ltarlomeutary concern when ,,,,I. dresses are given which dee! won the apaire or other governments. It broadcasting were a private enter prise In Canada it would 'lie a dlr. ferent matter. 'Cens'oring broadcasts under such auspices is different from trying to censor the press. Newspape.o know the rules; ,, they understand what comment can and should be made; those who furnish aud pub- lish articles in newspapers are fully aware that they are respn 1. Bible for what they say, and for that reason they generally attend to their own censoring before 111., prinhing is done. Free speech is a good theary when operating tt radio station If the people who are going on the air have a fair eltoagh understanding of the retipons:bility which is at- tached to .free speech, if broadcast• in.g is done under the auspices Or the Canadian government then til t; government cannot very well shute itself tree of the involved circum ;stances which .may arse if a r.t.i'u address has in ie unwise and ha.111' ful ertticisnts of the policy or same government with which the people of Canada are on friendly terms.
