There is no need for anyone to tell us that our situation bristles with problems. What we need is action. There is something that can be done by each Canadian. To leave that thing undone is to prove the traitor. x Action will show itself by a resolute making the best o‘f .things as we find tiliean. For many a ci-ay' that is th very thing we- have not do^e. We have been wasteful on our tables. We have fee^n extravagant in our homes. We have been expensive in our tastes. We have been frightfully prodigal in oui’ ways of doing business. Luxury rather than thrift has been our watchword. Let no one cbe resentful when these things are. pointed out. Scarcely a home in this province but has departed from the- rugged simplicity of the Cottar’s home of which 'burns has truly said From scenes like these old Scotia’s grandeur springs.’’ Luxury has eaten to the- very heart of our individual- and national greatness.

DRUNK, DRIVER GIVEN . FIVE SUNDAYS IN .TAIL PAW PAW, Mich.—Fred Russel^, of Lawton, must spend liis next five Sundays in county jail and pay a fine of $50.00. Justice William Prater sentenced Russell to five days in jail for drunk driving? but when he learned Russell had a big family and might lose his job, he made (,ihe sentence- for five Sundays, LA . J behind them. However, some learn. For example, there’s the man who- habitually exceeds the speed limits I followed one of these chaps for about three miles yesterday -on th® Lake Shore Road. He didn’t hit­ less than fifty at any time. Luckily traffic was light. He was indignant when I waved him to stop. L'Sure, I know I was driving, fast/* he said, “but the road was clear and. I’m in a hurry.” ’ I had. to explain to him that no man can drive a car at excessive speed and get away with it . . . al­ ways. Y^ou see, in the city a driver runs? at a much lower speed and his mind and. motions are keyed to that speed. In an emergency he knows what to- do, and does it instinctively. Occasionally on the highways ho> “steps on it” and at the first emer­ gency he’s in trouble -almost -before- he knows tt. No two- ways about it. I know. I’ve seen’ it happen often enough. The fast driver always gets his . . eventually, sometimes even through so simple a thing as . a blowout. Better slow down, befcri'e, you gdL- yours, brother. Well, I’ll be seeing you.
