Chief among them will be recom- mendations contained in the !port of the special inquiry committee ap- pointed a short time ago by the Pro- vincialGovernment under Duncan McArthur, deputy minister of educa- tion. Probably the most important of the amendments will be that respect- ing school taxation, about which the deputy minister will say nothing. There is some possibility that the committee's report will not be made public, but that it will be made in the form of recommendations for amend- ments to existing legislation, and as such would not be brought out until the assembly sits again. Besides new amendments there still remain some which were left over from the last session and which will be tintroduced in the new House. iiiwding Merl There was_ a truck, loaded with stock goine,,east thret igh Stratford, and a number of people . gathered when a short stop was made; ob- serves the Stratford Beacon -Herald. It was necessary for the driver of the truck to get up in the load and use a rope in order to get the Tread of one young animal up. There had been such crowding that once the headgot clown it could not get it up again, The truck drove off before there was time to take any action about having some of the animals taken out. As the departure was made it was noticed that the ani- mal's head which had been pulled up once more went down because there was no comfort in having the heat up. It did not look as though there was an animal in that truck which could move if it tried so tight were they wedged in there. There is law against that sort of thing but the trouble is that a truck once under way can keep right on going and there is small opportunity to witness the manner of the packing and . crowding and therefore ne remedial action is taken. Certainly that truck which passed through this city was an example of a method which should not be tolerated. VALUE OF IMPERIAL PACTS Vancouver newspapers report ship- ments on three. days of last week of 61,000 boxes of apples and pears from the British Columbia port, Since the opening of the export year in August there has been exported from British. Columbia, almost entirely to the British market, 101,000 boxes of apples and 15,400 boxes of pears. So important has the British Columbia apple trade become that special re- frigerator ships are now in service. In 1934 there was exported 171,023 boxes. The total value of the export trade is placed at $4,000,000.

The removed clump should be turned upside down to let moisture drain out of the stems and allowed to dry for two or three hours, particularly if the soil is wet. Removing the soil adhering to the roots is not necessary, particularly if the clump has been thoroughly dried. The root should 'be stored in a frost -proof place, but no where it is too warm, to prevent shrivelling. Good results were obtained when the roots were stored at 35 to 40 de- grees Fahrenheit. Sphagnum moss was found to be the most satisfactory for packing the roots. This moss, when thoroughly air=drled, took care of excessive moisture from the roots, and at the same time prevented ex- oessive drying. Well -matured =its stood a higher storage temperature than immature ones. Mature roots survived temperatures ranging from 65 to 70 degrees, but 'suffered consid- erably from drying. Moisture The vigor of plants grown from roots stored at low temperatures — 35 to 45 degrees -- was greater than those stored at 60 to 70 degrees. There was less soft and dry rot in the well -matured roots, whether stored at high or low temperatures. Regardless of what the storage con-. d.iiiaua are„ the 'roots should be ex- amined from time' to time through. out the Winter. If conditions are too dry some water should be added to the moss. If there is evidence of rot, the roots. should be moved to a dryer place. Fancy varieties are, as a general rule, more susceptible to rot under artificial storage conditions, for which reason they require more careful attention. Youth of Today Weeds Guiding H3'and bIoral conditions in the world are serious. Young people, especially, need guidance on moral questions to a greater extent than at any time in the history of the human race. Never before have so many influ- ences been at work to destroy the very souls of men. Teachings of many prominent persons, suggestions in some mo- tion pictures and articles in certain types of magazines and newspapers, and in books, are giving many young people false standards of morality. The adversary is apparently mak- ing every possible effort to lead young people into immorality and unchastity, one of the surest means. of leading them into apostasy and condemnation. Young people, as a rule, are anx- ious to do what is right; but with so many influences at. work to lead them astray they need counsel and advice. They need -warning of the far-reaching effects and serious con- sequences of immorality. President Joseph F. Smith, in an article entitled Unehastity, the Do- minant Evil of the Age, wrote: "No more loathsome cancer disfigures the body and soul of society today. It skulks through the land in. blasphemous defiance of the laws of God and of man. Whether openly known or partly concealed under the cloak of guilty secrecy, the re- sults are . potent in evil influence." The Gospel t e a ch e s a definite standard of morality. This stand- ard is binding mpp!ll n oiainenmbt ss old or young, the standard of personal purity and strict chastity. . ..,, High -Powered Machines Bet) ter Than Their Drivers'. Report Shows, Comments the New York 'Lines: "The official census figureson automobile fatalities do not greatly differ from the earlier estimates. They indicate that 35,768 people wore killed in the United States last yen. as compared with 30,760 the year be- fore What is the cause of this shock- ing increase? About half of it may be attributed to increased use of the highway, gasoline consumption having jumped 7.5 ' per cent. last year. A small fraction . may bs blamed on drinking a'nd drunken drivers, with more money to spend on liquor. Most of the remainder of the added fatalities can safely be charged to increased speed ,as dis- tinguished from that convenient but, overworked scapegoat, reckless driv- ing. Highway speeds are "definitely higher than they were a few years. ago," as the president of the National Safety Council explained in his address at Louisville. People who used to be content with 36, miles an hour are now "impatient at 45." Thanks again to better equipment and improved highway surfacing, the ordinary driver often does not realize how fast he is go -i ing; 50 miles an hour today, seems' no more than 25 in the old days. Moreover, "any current model' can be driven much faster than t'ie� average driver's reflexes will permit. handling with any reasonable degree of safety." He does not stop to figure' out that a car going twice as fast takes four times as far to stop. He makes no allowance forthe tT time to. takes him to "make up his put on the brakes, three-quarters of a second on the average—a signifi- cant and sometimes, at high speeds, a fatal interval. At 60 miles an hour for example, the "reaction distance" is measured at 66 f'et, which must, be added to a "brakii;ti distance" of 160 feet, to calculate the total "stop- ping distance" of no less than 225 feet. Bearing these figures in mind, it is little wonder that two-thirds of all fatalities to occupants of auto- mobiles occur at speeds in excess of 45 miles an hour.
