Eric Cross, Ontario minister of municipal -affairs, is on sound ground when lie blames (a increasi ` ng casts of government on excessive de- wands made on governments rather than on too much government. He ' pointed out that for many decades there have been no important •• changes in the machinery of govern - I ment. Federal, provincial and muni- corrected. .cipal administrations remain much as they have been for many years. This would seem to meet the charge ,that the reason we have too muoh debt is because we have too much government. Our multiplicity of gov- ' ernments did not pile up excessive governmental costs until the public; began to demand more services and • a ,�„a�,,;��,,,o r„� „�.�,,.s„�„m .,,e•� : the complexities of modern life brought new calls on governments. Whether we are governed by a dictator or by committees numbered in the hundreds, expenditures., taxa- tion and debt are likely to reflect popular demands. If the people set their faces sternly against increased expenditures the expenditures will be pared. But it is quite impbesible to build new roads, schools and provide relief for the jobless and adequate defence for all without, paying for ;these ,services in some manner.

Lascelles, assistant private .e secretary to the King, is expected in Ottawa shortly to discuss details of +j the royai visit with Government of- ficials. z` Mr, Lascelles is well known in 4h many cities of .,the Dominion. From s, 1931 to 1935 he was Lord Bessbor- 3 ough's private secretary during his t, tenure as governor-general and earl- y+ ier visited North America with the Prineo of Wales, now Duke of Wind- X sor, whose private- secretary he was 4 from 1920 to 1929. s� He was assistant private secretary �_} to King George V at the end of his reign and continued in the same cap- sacity under the present monarch. He .+ will be acting private secretary to Safety, ' Talk Delivered to Clinton Lions Club The Lions Club held} its regular meeting in St Paul's polisb'b ll H. C, Lawson, presiding Leonard Tait, superintendent of London Street. Railway, was guest speaker and his subject was "Safety." The after- dinner lucky; ,draw under direction of Lions Orville Noble and Lorne Brown. Was Wan by Frank Pennebalk- or. Reports were given by Lion I'1. M. Monteith on juvenile hockey, Lion F. 0: Fcn'd on Lions' den, 0. 37. Counter on underprivileged child epi, D. M. Maltby on; the contemplated swimming pool project ,and by F, 13. Pennebaker on the annual frolic. The guest speaker was introduced by -Rev, K. McGoon, chairman of the safety committee, Mr. Tait said in part: "The alarming toll of ac- cidental deaths and injuries during the., past few years is due primarily to 'the ' development of the auto- mobile,” IIe emphasized, two put- standing . essentials an automobile' equipment as safety measures, good sound tires and efficient brakes. Bub of 'stir greater importance is that of "eternal vigilance” by the automobile driver, No matter how perfect the machine may be in con - ea. -action, it becomes a terrible men- ace to safety if in the hands of an incompetent, careless, reoldeas or drunk driver. The times when spec- ial care is needed by the driver are at highway, road and street inter- sections,•curves, hill crate, school I zones. The speed fiend is a public menace, Pedestrians also have their part to play. It is essential that care should be taken to observe closely the vehicular traffic before crossing• traffic lanes or when walk- ing along them. Children should be taught to be danger -conscious. "It is a pity that it should be so, but the danger is ever present, which, is, indeed, a con- dition of modern times." Mrs. Oster is Guest Speaker Meeting in the Agricultural Office Rooms' on Thursday afternoon the Women's Institute meeting was well attended in spite al extreme cold and the treacherous condition of streets. The president, Mrs. W. S. R. Holmes, presided and meeting opened with singing of The Instituto Ode followed by the Lord's Prayer in unison. Before •calling for minutes of previous meeting and treasurer's report, a short .sing -song period was enjoyed. Treasurer's report shelved a favorable balance on hand. A. very interesting letter from Mr. K. Rorke of Cobalt was read by the corresponding secretary acknowledg- ing receipt of bale of clothing for needy children under his supervision. The Welfare Committee is again shipping a bale of warm clothing to a very needy and !lesereing com- munity at Sprucedale, Ontario. Roll call was responded to by al - moat every member with a Valentine verso which added much rnentiment and interest to the programme: Motto "would neighbors always dwell in peace, the troubles of the world would cease” was presented by Mrs. Simpson, regretting the fact that neighborliness is dying out. In earl- ier days neighbors were a necessity. One could geb along without relatives but not without neighbors, She ap- plieci neighborliness to the present turbulent European situation. "If one wishes to have a good neighbor, be one' was stressed and closed a very fitting presentation of the motto. Mrs. Sparling's rendition of a piano solo and following encore were appreciated, Mrs, F. Johnston gave a very interesting paper on. "Origin of St. Valentine". The District President, Mrs. F. Oster, of Blyth, as guest speaker was then introduced and gave a full report of London Area Convention. Some helpful and practical suggestions were given the local branch. Various questions were asked the speaker and a thorough discuzsion on the practical workings proved helpful, A hearty vote of thanks was extended Mrs. Sperling and Mrs. Oster which was heartily endorsed. It was noted with regret that ill- ness prevented the attendance of the Brat president of the local branch of Women's Institute, Mars. French. The National Anthem closed a very inter- esting meeting.
