SEAFORTH, Friday, June 24, 1932. .How • would yea' like to 'work one of those long day in the hay field or in the mow, and do it on three meals? Or if it turned Cold when the sup went down, haw would you feel when you woke up in that twenty day off morning? How would the women like to crowd twenty days baking and house- work into one? There wouldn't be very much time for gossip or bridge, would there? How would you like one of those 'Venue sdhool dazes, (boys, :or how many of you men would go to church oar one of those kind of Sundays? And. th'e nights. How would you like to buy and stoke enough wood or coal to keep the house warm on one of those' winter nights, and how would you like to carry out the ash- es in the morning? Or if the baby had the colic for one of those twenty day nights, how would you feel in the morning? The field of conjecture is unlimit- ed, but we think we have pointed out enough to convince thetaverage per- son etson that this old world of ours is not such a bad place to live in after all. At least it Haight be worse—very much worse. 'Iru fact' we are very much inclined to the opinion of the old lady who said the world was all right. It was just the people in it. Be Careful - Eleven drownings and three traf- fic fatalities weee reported over tho past week end by the daily press, and the bathing and heavy holiday traffic season is only con-mencing. Last year 571 people were kille i by motor vehicles in Ontario; 341 (people lost their lives by drowning and there were 204 deaths caused by falls. That makes a total of 1,738 lives that were snuffed out by what might correctly be called prevtentablc acci- dents, or what in plain speech would be called carelessness or recklessness. What the total will' be this year, of course, remains in the lap of the gods, but judging by the fatalities already reported, it will contain a greater rather than a lesser number, unless people hie prepared to give greater thought and consideration to this matter. In a few days the schools will b; closed for` the holidays and thous- ands of children will be free, too mane -of them, to roam at their owe _. sweet will. Will anything serious happen to them? Surely it will, unless the parent and older people force into their minds the absolute necessity of be- ing careful on the streets, on the roads, 'at the swimming hole and at other places dear to the heart of childhood. ON EX:00SitOlt rt 6616, rept it Rijn?; JUNE 24, 1932. ,- eningsHere and There in Hensall and District___ Late Mrs. William Chesney,—Mrs. William' Chesney, widow of the late W'ill'iam 'Chesney, passed away in Scott Memorial Hospital Thursday last after a prolonged illness. • Mrs. Chesney was the eldest daughter of the late James Dallas of Tuckersenith and would have been 81 years on the 24th of this month. •S'he, made her` home in Detroit for five or six years with members of her farmily and returned but recently to live with her brother, My. Jas. Dallas on the home- stead near Brucefield. Two weeks ago she became critically ill and was removed to Scott Memorial Hospital. She was twice married. Her first husband was Mr. Andrew Chesney of the Kippen !Road, Putekersmith, who died in November, 1881. Over 40 years ago she was united in mar- riage to Ma-, Wm. Chesney of the •3r 1 concession, Tuckersmuith, now, the farm of Mr. Paul Doig. She was predeceased by her late husband 8 years ago. Two sons and two daugh- ters survive: Mrs. Nelson Sutherby, -Mrs. Matthew Liddle and James Al- bert (Pat), Chesney, who are living in Trenton, Mich., and D. D. Chesney of Hamburg, near Buffalo, N.Y. Mrs. Chesney is also survived be- one sis- ter, Mrs. Alexander' Gordon, Eg- monde-411e, and four brothers, Mr. Mr. James Dallas, on the homestead, Tuckersmith; Mr. John Dallas, of Hensall; Mr, Donald Dallas, Detroit, and Mr. Peter Dallas: a 35 -year vet- eran with the railroad at Cranbrook, B.C. The funeral which took place from the United Church in Egmond- ville on Saturday afternoon wa,s largely attended wtih Rev. Charles Malcolm conducting the services. The pallbearers were William Archi- bald, Henry Tyndall, Robert Doig, Wm. Charters, !Harry Charters and Thomas Grieve. Interment took place in the Egniondvi'lle cemetery. • Premie: s and Religion (By Commander Locker-Lanrpson, M.P:, in London Evening News.) I was with Mr. Bonar Law when he became head of his party, and I shall not 'readily forget his visit to the Presbyterian church in Pont St. the following Sunday in pious pil- grimage. I had the privilege of staying with Arthur Balfour at.. his home in Whi'.- tingehame, and what . a revelation was his faithful refusal ever to fail the. little' kirk on the Sabbath; in company with his' sister, and four nieces; and he told me that he was a communicant in both the parish church 'and the English one. I travelled with Lloyd George But all the fatalities will not fall through Switzerlapd when he, was among the children, and :very few will really be !caused by thee,n`: One earl rest assured of that fact. What about the man or the wo- man who drives at thirty or forty Miles an hour on the streets of a ';:town, or at something approaching double that speed on the' roads and highways leading to and from these towns? Are they trying to ,prevent accidents'or have they even a thought of -danger in their niiirds? • Contrary to a very general belief it isn't always the other fellow who . es inviting an • accident. Accidents "have.a way of happening in all plac- es, not' just in one, and there is no one causefor them, but many. - If taking a little more time and being a little more careful would help to reduce this amazing total r_ "preventable accidents, is it not the duty of every man and every woman to give this time and care? And He Was a Cabinet Minister ! Two years ago the Hon. 1Peter Heenan was Minister of Labor ,n the Mackenzie King Government. He was a Canadian Cabinet Minister. . But that was two years ago, and times and Governments have chang- ed. M. Heenan is no longer a mem • ber of the Government, and while, to he sure. he is still a member of parliament, that is a long way down the ladder from being a Cabinet Min- ister.
