SEAFORTH, Friday, June 2, 19.33. not put the cart before the horse? Are the .ri$,-.putihants or manu- facturers in North Huron whose bus- iness could be increased by a liberal advertising campaign at the expense of the gavernnnent? And 'what about • 'Mr. farmer constituents? If Spotton's free gov- ernment advertising will sell ness. college ideas, wouldn't it sell farmers' produce, toe? e Just think, how agriculture would (benefit if a farmer had a liberal supe ply of House of Commons stationery on which to write out ads about pigs and cows and grain and what not for sale, and then have the use of Mr. Spotton's parliamentary frank to mail them to, every other fernier in the township. 'What is sauce for the goose should be sauce for the gander. Too Many Accidents Figures released this week by the Motor Vehicles Branch of the De- partment of Highways for Ontario, _how that there were , 570 motor car accidents in this Province during the month of April, In these accidents, twenty-five pe<•- ule were killed; 546 were injured and the property damage was i45,R24. Of the 25 persons killed, three were cnildren and tw•ely, were pedestrians. That is a pretty stiff record, es- pec'ally when one takes into consid- eration that motor traffic, in • the month of April does not reach any- thi4g like the dimensions of the traf- fic during the srnum r months. To reach such a record of acci- dents, there must have 'beef ca-eless- ness some place. But all the blame can not !be laid at the door of the drivers of the miotor cars. In the case of the children, where three were killed and 170 'injured, the responsibility no doubt, largely rested with the yicti'ms .themselves, or perhaps, more. particularly speak-. ing, with their parents. Making a playground out of the streets and highways is only invit ing accidents, too often fatal ones. In this respect attention should be drawn to the dangerous practise of children using the highways for roller skating, a practise Which has become very popular in recent weeks. !Motorists 'are accused of speedy and careless driving, and in too many cases the accusation is largely justi- fied. A large majority of motor car drivers, however, do not come under the head'' of that' class and when an acedant happens to them. the re- sponsibility for it lies with the chil- dren and .the pedestrians, not with the motorist. 33.1 4, •wherever the responsibility may lie, there can be no denial of the fact that there are too many ac- cidents on our streets and highways =far too many.

About one o'clock the bell in the tower of the Lutheran church be- gan to toll and the" tolling did not stop until the local watchmaker was roused gut of bed and attended to the clock in the tower. It was found that the striking part of the clock had gone wrong and the striking hammier, was released. causing the bell to toll. Many thought a fire had broken out in the village while some thought it was a'sign of war. • Mr. Theodore- Haberer.who -has had a pair of wild Canadian geese in captivity for some years, was de- lighted to find that the pair had hatched out eight young goslings of the same species, the other morning.

North Huron Member Again in the Limelight IMr. George Spotton. the member for North Huron. is again in the limelight and for the same,tcause. Of course. to be a successful poli- tician, a meni;ber has to be outstand- ing in some form or other. but there are some limelights under which a Member of Parliament does not. ap- pear to as good advantage as he 'would under other;. And Mr. Spotton does not appear to be a very good judge of the kind of light under which a mender should stand before the public. if he is to gain or retain the confidence of that same public. Two- years ago the North Huron member was very •much in the lime- light on account of the fact that he used the Government • printing• ser- vice and Governnventtationery to own his on business college and broadcast the advertising by means of his parlianentaiiy postal frank. What campaign of advertising Mr. Spotton followed in 1931 is not re- corded, but in "1933 he has again Paunched a comprehensive advertising eanupaign and again it is at the ex- pense of the Government, which, be- ing interpreted, means at the ex- pense of the general taxpayers. This Last •can-npaign has' been re - Gehring ivery general comment in the daily papers on both sides of the politic fence, and none of it can in any way be called complimentary to Mr. Spotton. lIn fact the comment has been so poitibed' that Mr. Spotton has become veri peeved,, and has written a long ilbtter of f3edtest as well as explana- tion to at''least one paper. There were two main points or parts- to this letter of protest. One was the unique defence Mr. Spotton used to explain the unenviable posi- tion ib which he finds himself and the other Was an eulogy of Miss Ag - inns aittephail, M.P., who by the way, is in "'the saiise' boat as the North 9Iuron 'Member, and for the same • CatISe: If we are til judge by ''the defence put up., the one and only reason Mr. pp'otton launched his advertising cam- amign ` Vas -hss great. and. sincere de • Sire t0 • aid the unetn Toyed. to inOt''praiaevet tirty °bj'ett indeed, it tfi -;titres Q►Ir.

At the recent church anniversaries of 'Camel {Presb'yt'erian "Church on! the 21st of May and the . United Church on the following Sunday, the 28th, a pleasing feature was that of members of the United .Church at- tending the anniversary , services in i'armel Church and then the mem- bers of that church on the following Sunday attending the services in the United ,Clluii.gh.

(Work is nearly finished in connec- tion with the neat new garage of Mrs. A. Scruton on Queen Street. Our younger boys can hardly re- sist the temptation., of playing base- ball on the pavement and main street but it is most dangerous to them, and also annoying to motorists and others along the street, and the prac- tice should be discontinued. 'Miss Olive Walker, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gorge Walker, of R. R. No. 1, .Hensall, was one of the graduates of Victoria Hospital at London on Monday afternoon last.

Mr. and 'Mrs. Wiliiatn Woods, a- bout three miles southeast of our; village, are and have been enjoying a couple of weeks pleasurable auto trip with one of their sones, and dur- ing their absence their farm inter- ests are being looked after by Mr. and Mrs. Manley Jinks, of the vil- !age.
