Both employer and employee are keenly interested in industrial safety and, close co-operation will prevent many accidents, Mr. Morley states that he has reports from plants in Ontario included in the membership of the Industrial. Accident Prevention Associations, which operated for the whole of 19'7 without a lost time ac- cident., showing that good accident experience is not a matter of chance but calls for carefully planned work. Many industries in Ontario are now striving to make 192S. an accident -free year so fax as their plants are con- cerned and the experience o#'the past, year indicates that an increasing num- ber of plants will operate this year without any lost time accidents, BLYTH That the past was a most:success- ful one for the local Horticultural Society was indicated byreports pre- sented at ` the annual meeting held on Friday evening, they showed an increasing interest in Horticulture and that much had been accomplished by the Society in the way of civic beau- tification.

DOLLAR A MINUTE OFFERED AS WAGE New Proposition Upsets Old And Accepted Business Theories. The theory that business, aed plea- sure can never be successfulyy com- bined seems to have been "upset, While it would, not be strictly true to say that this rule has been univer- sally followed, still it has been put, for- ward as one ofthe first principles in the lives of so many successful men that almost every one of us at some time or -another has tried to put it faithfully into practice. So, to depart from the accepted idea, and then at- tempt to justify it as sound business, is apt 10 be viewed with skepticism. "'However, the London Advertiser claims to have done just that. Anyone who doubts that pleasure can be made to yield substantial profits is invited to turn to page 7 : and look over for himself the announcement printed "s^ there. One thing is obvious: namely that 'the "P -Word" picture puzzle is a, really interesting and entertaining pastime. And as regards the profit end of the proposition, some thous- ands of dollars are offered in cash prizes; and thatought to tempt any - 011 e. It has been pointed out that if you spent three full eight hour days in preparing a qualified 'winning answer, your "wages" for the job would work out at something over $60 an hour - or a dollar a minetc for the time tak- en.

Lite;writer be- li�e es that lite development of alit; xvate%s o tiers of the river is more hu- portant to Canada then the naviga- tion savi. tt-tion interest. "'I"he majority of ieaperts seem to agreethat the deep waterway will not tend to extend ocean traffic ill to the herrn of the continent to any marked extent, owing to the differ- ence In hake and ocean vessel design. and the costly lockage delays to the WIN heavier -staffed deep-sea ships," says the writer, although he believes that in time the 'seep waterways will be desirable, On the other hand, the growing demand for electric power in Quebec and Ontar.io will provide a progressive rnarke for the proposed waterpower develoament. The writer urges the necessity of keeping power produced in Cana+3a for use in Canada. Much the greater por- tion of the power that can be develop- ed, on the St. Lawrence will belong to Canada, and there will be a tenxptatiot. to lease some of it to United States in terests. This should net be allowed under any circumstances for, says Mr, Goforth, "there is an increasing rea- lization that hydro -electric power ex - 'ported even on short term leases is de finitely and irrevocably lost to this country.' It has been found to be al- most imppssiblee once industries have been built up on, exported power, to withdraw it even when needed in the country of its source, The view is then advanced that for the present the interests' of -Canada would be served by the harnessing of the waters at the all -Canadian power - sites of the riser, as a purely Can- adian enterprise, leaving the develop- ment of the international Section •until. an agreement thoroughly satisfactory to this country can be made with the United States. The tenor of newspaper despatches from Ottawa this week seems to indi- cate that some plan such as is pro- posed by Mr: Goforth may be recom- mended to the Government by the Na- tional Advisory Committee, If the conflicting Provincial and Federal in- terests can be harmonized, and if no commitment to the costly waterway scheme is made, there can be no ob- jection to the development df elect- rical power at Canadian sites for the supplying of the needs, of the Mon- treaI district.
