Bonding Lawpers for the
Protection of Clients
The recent distressing happening
in Seaforth, whereby one hundred
and thirty-five thousand dollars in
-negotiable securities, owned by dif-
ferent 'people in town and district,
are alleged to have been appropriat•
ed by a local lawyer from the safety
deposit boxes in his office, has been
followed' by growing and ever in-
creasing complaint against t h e
authorities for permitting circum-
stances which^ would make such ''a
situation possible.
The contention is being made that
the legal profession should have been
b'onded, against • such defalcation, so
that the „ clients of the lawyer and
the leasees of the deposit boxes
would have been protected against
such loss.
We -do not believe that there is a
person inthis district with a disposi-
tion mean enough to enable him to
rejoice at the loss sustained by these
unfortunate people. And at the same
time we believe that the losses are
;generally .looked upon ' as personal
losses byall, whether they were im-
mediately 'concerned or not.
Under the circumstances, howev-
er, we can not see why the blame
should be laid at the door of the
authorities or. the -legal profession at
large. In the first place the thefts
have only been alleged. They have
not been proven in court. And in the
second place these boxes were leas-
ed for• the pyrpose of storing -or safe
keeping ofolnds and private papers
and once leased they were the per-
sonal property ,.�rid under the per-
sonal responsibility of the persons
p Y
who leased them.
There was, of course, a general be-
lief in their security, but the leasing
of such boxes did not carry with it
any positive guarantee against loss
by fire, by theft, or any other cause.
And it would be most .unreasonable
'to expect any such kind of lease.
If any of these ' boxholders had
been leasing premises in which to
store furniture or ,cars, each one of
them would, in all probability, have
taken out an insurance policy against
loss, for the simple reason that they
knew the owner of the property
could not be held responsible in case
of loss. Why should they hold the
owner of the .vault in which their
papers `were held, responsible? It is
true the, two situations were believ-
ed, and appeared to be, entirely dif-
ferent. But were they?
All these boxholders know now
that the. safe thing for them to do,
and with that knowledge behind
them, -the only thing they would now
do, regardless of cost, was to have
kept their securities in a chartered
bank, where they would have been
as reasonably safe as safety goes in
this world. But, unfortunately, for
mankind, hindsight is always one
hundred per cent. keener than fore-
sight.
There is another growing demand,
however, that has arisen from this
ease, and that is that all lawyers who
accept trust fund's and the manage-
ment of estates should be bonded, to,..-.
ensure safety to their clients. And
wethink this claim merits very ser-
ious . consideration at the hands of
parliament. -
As a profession, the integrity of
the members of the Bar has stood
the test of time as well, or better,
than that of any, other profession.
Considering the, opportunities that
el 0 themselves dafly, • the num-
ho have transgressed the w
ice ot their profession is
Go' .laxed to' their
hoe nut it is _for
fri rYtl2�TaaiyU� I{',
the proteotion of the clients. of that
decimal, that parliament should now
act.
If bonding all lawyers would prove --
a financial hardship -on some of -the
poorer members of the profession, or
those with a small practise, some
-• other form should be adopted. At
least there is no ' reason why their.
,,,,,estate accounts should not be audit-
ed. The Law Society is a very
wealthy as well as a very powerful
association. Should it not be ask-
ed to provide as well as to pay for
the services of competent auditors,
who would inspect all legal offices?
It would ensure a measure of safety
to the clients as well as a protection
to the members of their own profes-
sion.

Damage From Frost
The'frost on Friday night of„last
�t
week is reported to ham, caused
thousands of dollars of damage to
fruit and grass crops in Eastern On-
tario. In the district east andnorth
of Toronto, the frost was the worst
that can be recalled in the past
thirty years.
In Western Ontario, and . particu-
larly in this county, while the frost
was general, no reports of any ser-
ious' damage have been heard.
However, the change in a few days
from mid -summer heat to frost, does
not improve crops of any kind, al-
though the land gives much promise
this year.
Seeding .operations are well along,
and in spite of a very late spring,
growth hasbeen really remarkable,
and cattle have been turned. out 'to
grass.
If the weather would' only settle
down we' might get somewhere. The
weather extremes have been too ex-
treme. Two weeks ago one would
think -"that the spring of 1936 was' _.
trying to maintain the record for
heat, that the winter of 1936 main-
tained for cold. And then carne the
black frost of Friday night last.

The Death Toll Still Climbing
Ontario's death toll mounts stead-
ily week -end by week -end. Last
week -end four persons were killed
and over twenty injured.
And the cause? Motor accidents
in the main, and one of • the most ser-
ious just in the next .county.
When cars • meet head on at the
crest • of a hill, or cars meet trains at '
level crossings, or turn a few somer-
saults before landing in a ditch or a
field, there is sure to be an accident.:
And a fatal accident at that... It is
not the fault of -the hill,. or the train
on the level crossing, or the ditch, or
the field, although all four invariably
get the blame.
Nor' doesle blame lie with the
motor car, or the law which 'permits
it to run on our roads and highways:
There is just one place to lay the
blame for these motor accidents and
fatalities. Just one. And that is 'on
the heads of those who sit under the
wheel of the cars, or who drive from
the back seats. .
One does not have to go very far,
nor search very hard, for trouble on.
our highways. It just comes. But
it comes with amazing suddenness
sometimes.

S. S. LESSON F.OR MAY 24, 1936
Lesson Topic -Building for the , Fu-
ture (Tenneerance Lesson).
Lesson Passage -Luke 2(:45-47; 21:
1-9).
Golden Textl-Luke 21:19.,
•Fon the last time our Lord had
.appeared in the temple as a. puib•lic
teacher. Before crowds of people He
had once mlore strongly denounced
the shypocristy Of the Seethes' and
:Pharisees.. ley were convicted by
their own consciences and.-.sp "they
answered •nota Ward"; butthey re-
solved the more speedily to put Him
to death.
After having rrebiiksed' dive'. sin of
seats ighteousness, Jesus: turned as ide
to discover and colmmend a •hidden
act of goodness. An ordinary man,
after uttering a arebukle, which en-
raged his foes to mtadn'ess, would
'most likely, quietly and quickly, seelrr
.a safer'place. B'ult in patience•Jesus
Christ posis'essed His Soul. He knew
His hour had not yet cone, so He
quietly eat in the court of the wo-
men and • safer the offerings dropped
into the treasury: Some out of their
abundance cast in much, -hut a poor
widow hastily' dropped in a small
coir.. It was all she !bald at that time
for the supply, of ,her own needs.
Jesus called the attention of,. His
disciples to her gift. He did not
.praise her to. her face or in- her hear-
ing. Her satisfaction in being able
to give at all was sufficient reward.
Lt Is a 'pleasure to make a !sacrifice
for one we love and she loved' her
church. 'His disciples neigeht have
said, "She is 'imrprudent to give her
all." But the Lord loo.ksed benearth
the .surface, He saw , the motive
Which prompted the gift -and He re-
joiced that one grain, of purity and
reality was there in the midst of so
much pretended war's'hip an the part
of the Scribes and Pharisees. He re-
joiced as one who had found a flare
jewel. Christ on this occasion did
not overlook the large gifts of the
c'ich; but they could spare these out
of their abundance without stinting
themselves. He finned His attention
on' the widow's mite, because it was
her a111. Froin this we learn t� hold
all we have for the service ,arid good
pleasure of our Lord. Let us keep
in mind) with St. Bernard who said;
"Lord, I have but two (mites, a body
and a soul; ',give them both to Thee."
