I I Until this year little boys and girls could only writs to Santa Claus; post their fetters and trust to the postman to. deliver them. Out this year tho Radio (Department of the Canadian National Railways made an arrapgempiat with Santa Claus and letters -from boys and girls, all over Canada, -are beinig . -broadcast from the C. N. R. Radio Stations to Santa- in }lis -workshop in the . I Fear North. Santa acknowledges, each evening by radio, that he is izea'tant what his little_ friends have to tell him. ' Although he is a very busy man, Santa Claus visited every br casting station of: the Canadian National Railways, in IVMoncton, Monereal Ott aw , Toronto, Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Regina, Calgary and Edmonton, telling his little friends to write him, care of the C. N. R. Radio, and thousands of lettere from boys and girds have been received and broadcast to Santa. The picture you see here was;. taken in, one of those stations as Sanfa was speaking to his boys and girls' -through the microphone, which is the instrument used to send the sound of the voice dancing out over the world! on the radio waves. Down below you see one of the big engines that the. Canadian National Railways are going to lend Santa Claus to carry his bags of toys, if there is not enough snow for his reindeer. These are the biggest' and most powerful freight engines in the whole of the British Empire. They, can , easily pull a train of 150 loaded freight cars;, so you see, Santa Claus will have no trouble bringing all his toys, no matter if there isn't any snow on Christmas F'•-" with the scythe and it requires per- sistent effort. "This is an inheri- tance handed down from Adam, and so I feel that weeds are ours and like the poor will ever be with us, and it is our duty to cut them down and cast them into the fire." The work could best be done by an over- seer of highways, who would .have I the necessary help, and could have the weeds cut at the proper time. Debenture Term for Road Purposes.', The subject of Debenture Term for', Road Purposes was discussed by the Wardens of Bruce and Oxford coun- ties. Warden Sinclair of Bruce, claimed that, though' in the past the burden placed on real estate for the, construction of roads was perhaps' justified, the advent and rapid growth of the motor vehicle no longer justi- fied a tax on real estate, except to the extent that the owner is bene- fited. However, to place the entire burden upon the users of the road ap- pears �ko be unjusk and unfair. Capi- tal should pay part of the cost. Agri- culture should pay but only in pro- portion as it is benefited. The man= ufacturer ,the merchant and the farmer, and, above all, those that are commercializing the roads for private gain, should all bear their part of the cost, The railways pay for the con- struction, maintenance and improve- ment of the highway over which their trains pass. A large number of motor vehicles use the highways for commercial purposes, and the amount which they pay for that privilege represents but a small fraction of the cost of the highways which they help to destroy. Warden Peterson, of Oxford, said that he was not in favor of issuing debentures for roads except for con- struction of permanent work. When long-term debentures are issued the roads would be worn out before the debentures are paid off. His advice would be to "build less and pay as you go." Ten-year debentures for permanent roads, where a large mile- age of Provincial highway has been built in any one 'year, might be a feasible plan, but'he would not advise it even then, unless the twenty per cent, the Government ask the cotlm- ty to pay .exceeds $75,000 to $100,- 000 in any one year. In Oxford coun- ty the Provincial highway is complet- ed this year with permanent construc- tion of concrete or tarvia penetration, and not one dollar of debentures has been issued. Collective Buying of Highway Materials. Warden Harkness, of Lambton county, introduced the subject of Col- lective Buying of Highway Materials. He claimed that the grouping of a number of counties and townships, or even placing the buying of road ma- terials for the whole Province under one head, would result in a saving in the cost and also assure a better quality of material. The county of Lambton, operating five trucks, de- cided to have a service station of its own and buy gas in 640 -gallon lots, A great saving resulted.
