The Palm Creamery - Paimergon, Got, Wee With Arrival of Spring Hazard of Auto Traffic Again Becomes Greater Better Weather Brings Out More Motor Cars, More Pedestrians and More Children—So Autoists' Mot- to Should .Be: "Greater Careful- ness and Increasing Vigilance" When Using Highways or Streets —Timely Warnings For All Auto- ists—Speed Lhnits Within Cities and Towns Should Not Be Revised Upward, and if Highway Limit is Increased to 35 Miles Per Hour This Should Be Rigidly Enforced The contemplation of spring, bet- tor weather, more automobiles, more pedestrians and children on our Streets and frequently on the high- ways, turns our thoughts again to the subject of accidents. In the con- centrated form of a tracing, as you visualize the mean monthly temper- ature curve, the curve dealing with the increased population curve, the curve dealing with the increased number of automobiles, and lastly, the automotive fatality curve, the necessity is forced upon_ you that greater carefulness, greater vigilance and watchfulness, must be "the or- der of the day." If these traffic fatalities and lesser accidents are to be kept within bounds. Were it true that "self-preservation is the fiat. law of nature," the curve of person- al carefulness, as far as traffic is concerned, would be synchronous with the mean monthly tempeeaeure curve, and traffic accidents would be proportionately reduced. A Distressing Sight. One of the nitst digressing sights IN to see a child run down by en automobile, truck or motorcycle upon our public streets, The injury, not always fatal, often results in the loss of a leg or arm, possibly diefigur ing the .child for life The grief of the parents is heart-brekaing and is shared by friends and neighbor& Everyone loves children and every- one suffers when a child meets no injury. How may we prevent street accidents? What is the answer? As citizens wq must 'do all we can to as- • slat in the enforcement of laws gov- erning traffic and as parents we must see the our children are taught Mb-. its of safety. One careful parent will do much to encourage an entire neighborhood to enpourage • safety habits. What shall we say when the in- jured person is a man or woman? The injury may be equally serious and is always shocking and distress- ing but we have less patience than in the case of a child. To prevent these accidents we must rely on the enforcement of traffic laws, we inust not only obey them ourselves, but encourage others to remember "Safety Always." Here is a stand- ard rule: Look. to the left when you start to cross the street. When you reach the centre, look to the right. When you are in a critical position, us your common sense, de not lose control of yourself. If the danger is from an automobile, stand still and do not confuse the driver by dodging. Never pass behind a street car, automobile or any other veh- icle, without looking to see if there is another car or automobile ap- proaching from the other direction, and when you get off the street car, look back before proceeding to the sidewalk. To "keep your head" is a good rule. The following, instructions are so practical that they may well be ad- opted by all drivers of automotive vehicles: Let's Be Careful—And Why?. Winter is still here: Streets and roads are slippery; Snowdrifts cause trouble; Driving is dangerous—(wse your chains). Protect the other fellow: Ile may have a wife anti kiddies waiting for him; give him the right of way—even though lid is wrong. Human lives are precious; Watch traffic; Drive with both hands and both feet, ready to act; Use your brains—that's what they're for. Protect yourself: Keep fit, keep awake, keep watching, keep thinking—co-operate. paaroasomminemaraerannastsmancenzauromearommeamaremansionstarstaasacoseanneteatora-nnummeamato Or This ever-presunt task of the busi- ness man. is one that Advertising can most efficiently perform.

Ontario's Fatal Accidents. During 1925 in Ontario, 298 per- sons were killed by the automotive hazard. One hundred of these were pedestrians, 169 motorists and 20 were drivers of other than automot- ive vehicles. Ninety-two were chil- dren under .16 years of age. . In Toronto, during 1925, 84 ped- estrians were killed by the automo- tive hazard, 3 motorists and 18 chil- dren under 16 years of age. There is no getting away from the traffic problem. The answer is fote- sight and carefulness to avoid acci- dents and regrets. LevelCrossing Menace. One form of traffic accident that last year killed 55 people in Ontario and one in Toronto,, is what might be regarded as the level -crossing menace, Many of these unfortunate killings seem to be the result Of a foolhardy effort to beat the vailway train to the crossing. If the race is a tie, the motorist loses, and if the train gets there first, and has passed before the motorist reaches the tracks, lie wins, providing he does not run into the side of the passing train, as recorded in some instan- ces. It is of interest in this connection to note that a private member is in- troducing a hill in the Provincial Legisature of Manitoba to compel drivers of motor vehicles to bring their cars to a standstill before et - tempting to cross over level cross- ings and providing penalties to thee° who violate the proposed law. The proposed introduction of this bill seems already to be bearing the us- uallmavrguments for and against such a . The railway standpoint ie that they have the right of way, and can- not stop, and that therefore motor- iste should come to a stop before crossing the railway tracks.

ObarrIngton Has Spent Fifty Years In East -end of London Working for the Good of BIS Fellow -man. How many men would sacrifice a Million and a quarter pounds for a Pz.innelePleowho has done so is Mr, F. N. Charrington, Deb missioner, with whom I spent a morning recently, writee the Tit -Bits elan. He is now seventy-ilve years of age, and for half a century he has been working hard in the East -end of London. He is a member of the Oharringtou family, who are among the most prominent of our brewers, but is himself a sworn enemy of the trade. He told me in simple words What caused him to renounce his immense fortune. One day outside a public -house in the East -end I came upon a poor wo- man pleading with her husband for money to buy food for her babies. Without a word the ruffian knocked the wife and children into the gutter. "Sick with horror, I glanced up and saw my own name emblazoned la gold above the building. The blow that man dealt kis wife served also to knock me out of the liquor trade." He resigned his heirdom and took a tiny house in the poorest part of the east -end. There, with a table, one chair, and two packing -eases for furniture, he began a life of Spartan simpliCitY—thIS after life at an ex- cellent school and all the luxuries of a richly -appointed home. It his sitting -room at the Great Assembly Hall in Mile End Road, where for nearly nineteen thousand nights he has carried on his work, many relics bear witness to exciting passages in a career that teems with drama. One of them Is a poker that hangs beside the gas-dre. This was the in- otrument with which a man intended to murder his wife. He was carry- ing it up his sleeve when he dropped in out of the cold to hear Mr. Char rington speak. At the close of the meeting the man confessed his inten- tiou, surrendered his weapon, and promised to reform. ' Reside the windovr there Is a slnis- ter-looking.chopper. This, too, has a e4ory, One night, very late, Mr 011, arrington was walking in a 000 demned slum area, when he noticed crowd In front of a small house from whose uneurtalned windows the light streamed out into the dark street. Inside, a man, intoxicated, was wielding a °hair over his wife's head. The ()hair missed its victim jut overturned a lamp on the table, caving the room in darkness save for the red gleam of the man's garee. At 2.30 a.m. the crowd was else trifled by a whisper that the man had secured an axe for his wife's head and a haramer for anyone who inter- fered. 'Whereupon ND. Oharringtom who had enlisted a detective to stand 44 the doorway with a torch, entered the room, armed only with an Umbrella. Kicking the axe underneath a chair, he upbraided the drunkard for keeping the street awake. Then, seising his man, the missioner pro- pelled him backwards through the Passage and hurled him down a short flight of stairs into the backyard. The man, stunned but sobered, fled over the wall and spent the next two nights, in Epping Forest. The axe Web retained by Mr. Charrington as a memento. tutendng suicides sbmetimes visit the Great Assembly Hall. One young nlan called and, despite all efforts to dissuade him, seemed determined on sell -destruction. Mr. Charrington said: "Ale, well, MY boy, so this is your last niglat In the Mile End /toad? Dear me, and the chemists are all•closed. I do hope you have the poison with you." At: he had expected, the man's hand went Instinotively to the pocket where the poison was carried. Im- mediately Mr. .Charrington leaped at him, and after a determined struggle eeeured the poison, A friendly talk 1 ollowed and the young man was found a job. The bottle of poison Is Mather tipechnen in the missioner's Collection. At a time when musle-halls were not the well-conducted places of amusement that they are to -day, Mr. ClharrIngton made a practice of dis- tributing leaflets against the immoral purposes for which such places were sometimes used. One night six men In evening drese rode out from the West -end ia cabs wit/a the avowed intention of murder- ing hlm. They were intoxicated, and would have carried their threats into effect but for the surprising inter- vention of t:,vo or throe women who surronnded h1m, and by the use of threat:4 couched in lurid language geared eff the bullies. In 1932 yet another murderous ettaek wee made on Mr, Charrington as lie was distributing leaflets one Sunday eventeg. Ilia aritetilant was a nlriliNA, onVionaty in the pay Ai ethere, who ran up to him, ni.per-eut him with a right and thri th rapid succession, and then dealt him a blow over the heart. When he was fighting the music halls, Mr, Charrington was imprison- ed ono night for preaehing OnIaldo 000, One of his follow -prisoners said: 'iVhet ere you in tor?"

Remarkable Activity in Copper Production Last Year's Output in Canada Great- ly Increased—Mining and Smelt- ing Stimulated The production of copper in Can- ada has so Inc been confined to the provinces of British Columbia, On- tario, Quebec, Manitoba, and the Yukon Territory; although deposits are also known to occur in the Mar- itime Provinces and the Canadian Arctic. The total output has varied in recent years but averages be- tween fifty and. sixty thousand tons of blieter copper and copper matte per annum, a quantity of which is retained in, Canada. The increased I demand and the subsequent rise in price, however, have stimulated ac- tivity in the mining and smelting of the metal, and the production for the year 1925 has been one of the best on record, amounting to about , 56,000 tons. Operations have been started in British Columbia by the Consolidat- ed Mining and, Smelting Company of Canada, in the treatment of the ores which have accumulated at the Com- pany's smelter and of the concen- trates received from the Allenby plant near Princeton. After being idle for several years the latter pro- perty has been taken over by the Granby Consolidatd Mininp, Smelt - ing and Power Company, which, with a milling capacity of 2,400 tons a day, is already handling about 1,000 tons. The Granby Consolidated mines, smelter and mills at Any= are also working steadily. Part of 'the ore goes direct to the smelter adn the balance is treated in the mill, which has a capacity of 1,000 tons a day. The Britannia Mining and Smelting Company's mines and mill at Britannia Beach have also been operating regularly to the full milling capacity of 2,500 tons. Work has also been resumed at the Kam- loops Copper Company's mine at Kamloops, and the smaller operators throughout the province are also ac- tively engaged. In the Sudbury region of Ontario great activity persisted throughout the year. The nickel -copper ores of this area are mined, smelted and partly relined in Canada, The cop- per production derived from the treatment of the Sudbury ores am- ounts to about twenty thousand tons for 1925, two- thirds of which have been refined in this country, the bal- ance being exported to the United States and Great Britain in the forte of blister copper and copper -nickel matte. In Quebec operations have been cerried'on by the Eustis Mining Com pany at Eustis, with an increased pro dilation but partly to the application of an improved method of selective botation for treating the copper ores. The very encouraging results met with in the development of the &nye area of north-western Quebec notably at the Noranda, the Amulet and the Waite properties, and the assurance of railway and good road indicate great prosperity for this new &fining region. The copper ore discoveries have been ace eompanied by finds of important de- posits of gold and of zinc ores. The year 1926 will probably witness the erection of a smelter and possibly it milling plant, as well as the con- struction of a branch railway which will follow a line hi proximity to the most important known deposits. The outlook for increaled copper production from Canada deposits is thus very encouraging, and with cop- per at a reasonably high price One ean look forward to a renewal of operationt in The Pas lineal belt in northern Manitoba, where large de- posits have been proven, and also fee) confideet that more intense pro- specting and (2xploration throughout Canada will prove the existence of. • &melte ae yet unsuspected. „ 1.1 .4..g.f1111:1::::"'il -Saraloo ted We pay Highest Cash Price for Cream. 1 cent per lb.

The I developed a mania— Dtie to that blow on the head— For boulders from old Pennsylvania, And I put a f ew tons in the shed I started to pile up' the clinkers Till my cellar was full to the brim And I sifted and shook, as I swore at that, crook, But I learned about fuel from him. They told me to get coal in briquet- tes, So I put in a few loads of those But the heat seemed to go up the chimney, And the jam in the cellar all froze; The dealer had left for Miami When I went down to tear off his limb. And I hope he gets shot on his Flor- ida lot, But I learned about fuel from him. Someone said soft coal was perfect, So they brought me a load of that, screened; Each night I took down the pipes, dirty, Each morning I put them up, cleaned; Tim Flynn was the dealer who eold It, And they jailed Inc for shooting at Tim; From my head to my foot I was cov- ered with soot, So I learned about fuel from hint. I've taken my coal where I found it, I've raved and I've raged at my lot, I've tiled every sort of concotion, But somehow I never kept hot; Some of 'on gummed up the fur- nace, Some put my pipes on the spree So be warned by my lot—though know you will not— And learn about fuel from me.
