EAFORTII, Friday, October 16th ' - 1 I ' 'DWI me ' the War, the as -au ti,,r)a re ja#ona, • and a in, XiTaTtlin of'fort3f`rAile an hour Woo e, the new, regulatiOns- caane into effect en this side, of the line,th.ere has been a Marked decrease in car acci- dents over Canada, as the average driver has been content to keep well within the la*. But we still have speeders, thou- sands of them, as anyone who uses the highways daily will testify. There may be emergencies -when a speed of over forty miles an hour becomes a necessity, but they are very, very few compared with the number who ., • wilfully disregard the speed limit. It would 'be a good idea to pick these speeders up and remove their tires. Possibly: it would be the only measure that would effectually bring them to: reason. It would, at least, be worth trying. , ,Beginning To Feel It The travelling public is, apparent- iy„beginning to feel the pinch of the gas and tire restrictions. Reports • ern all over Western Ontario,point tO the fact .that motor traffic on the highways ebbed to a new low point over the holiday week -end. • Many of the main highways were practically deserted, • although ideal Weather conditions prevailed on all three days. A small number of cars bearing American licenses' were seen in a few places, but their movement amounted to a mere trickle compar- ed to the numbers in evidence on past Thanksgiving days.: Railway and bus traffic, however, more than made ,up for the motor traffic Railway officials announced the movement of holiday passengers started on Friday and all day Satur- day railway accommodation was taxed to the4imit. Bus companies also reported a rush business, and the possibility is that people already aware of the pos- sibility of travel restrictions coming into force, decided to have one last trip. • There Is Something In It • A year ago the new high school in. Palmerston held its first commence- ment. It was an entertainment Which the people of Palmerston had never seen before, and a success be- yond all expectations. It was, in fact, so great a success that its second commencement to be held in the near future, is an event which is, apparently, being looked forward to with -a great deal of ex- pectation and is already a general topic of • conversation among the townspeople. In speaking of school commence- ment exercfses, the Palmerston Ob- server of last week says: "Three . ideas lie behind these commencement productions. Firgt and foremost .of Mese is broademing ecluation.,From these productions, students learn - teamwork and co-operation, and showmanship. Ask any Person who has made an attempt to analyze what makes success, and he or she will tell you that co-operation with those • abOut' you, and showmanship are two very big factors in any life. "The • second motive behind the show is increased school interest. We'Il call it advertising. Folks get ' to see a commencement who might not otherwise set foot iia the school. They become morefamiliar with the school and what it offers, and to send their children to the Palmerston high school. Thus the school and the com- munity benefits. , "At the bottdm of the list .of reas- ons for a commencement, we find the financial reason. The money raised from these events, though it is not a great deal, goes to purchasing equip- ment for the school, equipment that otherwise might not be obtainable. Two instances of this are the locls- ersjn the school at present, built by using money from the last com- mencement, and the • high • school • orchestra that gained its momentum •,:a3-4 first finances at the same time and place." Yes!' There is something in it. In fact there is ,a great deal in if.

Instead of standing on the doorstep listening to a peddler, you just sit down in a chair and turn on • the radio." Isn't it the truth? In fact, it is the peddler that makes the radio so unpopular with thousands of people throughout the country. • ,The Danger Of Reading (saturdu Night) Mr. Hepburn has been reading a book. We have always maintained that, this is a dangerous practice, when indulged in too suddenly after • a period of abstinence. It is well known that men who have been. starving for a considerable tine are never Allowed to satisfytheirhun- ger at the first meal, because the sudden intake puts more of a strain on the digestion than its weakened state an stand. "Last night," said the Premier on Monday, to the American Federation of Labor, "away into the small hours of the morning as a matter of fact,. I read a book recently written by a very- prominent labor author of Bri- tain, and as .a result of ;:that and of other 'studies I have made of recent date, my friends, I must confess that I have arrived at the conclusion that never again can the peace of dais world be entrusted with internation- al, financial, commercial cartels, which dominated the League of Na- tions and rendered that international body impotent, which allowed the Japanese to invade peaceful Man- choukuo (Manchuria) and the boast - Mussolini to invade defenceless Ethiopia. Rather do I believe that the future peace of this world is on- ly secure in the hands, of labor and the great masses of an organized so- ciety.', This is a very important 'c-onclu- sion that Mr. Hepburn has come tel, and we are far from wishing to per- suade him to amend it. But we do wish that he had arrived at it, by a more adequate preparation: These questions of world organization are too large to be settled upon the strength of a single book. There is also the trouble that the conclusions reached upon the perusal of a single • book may be upset by the perusal of another one, or even of something less substantial than a book, such as an article in the Globe and Mail.' It is not so long ago that Mr. Hep- burn, influenced by the perusal df we know not _what, was doing things which were certainly not calculated to advance the cause of placing the future peace of the world, or -any- thing else, in the hands of labor— • things which were calculated to make it as difficult as the power of the province of Ontario could make it for.labor to organize not only for securing the peace, of the world but even for doing its own collective bar- gaining._ That of course was before Mr. Hepburn read his last -Sunday book; but havingonce got the -habit he ma3r read another one tomorrow and become convinced that the peace of the world requires the aboliti6n of banks, or by-elections, • or of week- ly -newspapers, or of .pOwer contracts or of law courts—ail of -them institu- tionS Which, some peOple. regard as a menace to peace,, and, about ..which, I* at tfines shown 'self Pio,,*bole we • qi.•••., .• From the,.....tlurOn •Expositor • 040100 191 1917 91r; , Peter •ii.:040itat, StaillOY TowntiltiP, near -BrUbefield, is attend, in the SchOol Qt., Faulty 111 Toronto.
