don, early Thursday evening. Miss
Martha Toohey, 24, of Lucan, a
maid in iL-ndon, wag fatally injur
ed. She died within an hour after

cerations and his condition is des
cribed as critical. He, too, was

The other car in the accident,
driven by Andrew A. Conn, London,
careened against the- curb and onto
the boulevard further down the
btreet. In it, four occupants, cnly
Mrs. Conn, wife of the driver, was
injured.
Seme difficulty in identification

ness sufficiently to tell who his pas
senger was and1 her sister was called
who made definite identification.
The crash occurred at a corner
where vision in (all directions is
fairly clear but which has been the
scene of many bad accidents in the
past few years.
‘The car driven |by Hetherington
was going east on 'Central avenue
as the machine in charge of Conn
proceeded north on Wellington.
Almost at the centre of the inter
section they met and with a terrific
crash hurtled toward the northeast
corner. Hetherington’s car bounced
over the curb and then against a
hydro pole in the boulevard corner.

She then ‘fell beneath the bumper
of the car, Ble&ding terribly from
the head she wag pinned beneath
the bumper and the deflated tire on
the right front wheel. The car had
to be shifted to release her. She was
■unconscious wtren picked up and re
mained so.

THE APPROACHING PREMIERS’ CONFERENCE
jSerious work awaits the approaching conference of the Prem
iers of the various provinces of the Dominion of Canada called by
Hon. William Lyon Mackenzie King, Prime Minister of the Domin
ion. What makes the duties of the Premiers the more serious is
their belonging, with one exception, to the same political party.
Should their efforts fail in the way of improving conditions they will
not be alble to explain their failure on. the ground of divided polit
ical platforms or counsels.
They Follow Solid Achievements •'
s Further, unless the Premiere work out plans that show im
mediate and outstanding results, they will foe confronted by the
fact that the .recently-defeated Prime Minister, Mr. R. B, Bennett,
had kept the Canadian ship on. a relatively even fceel throughout
the Great Depression and by the further fact that Canada, during
the last two years of his leadership was high up in the first ranks
of the mcist prosperous nations of the world. The prime Ministers
cannot but realize that they must work out plans of an outstanding
character if they are to command the respect of Canadian electors.
They have an imperative urgent mandate so to do.
•(They Meet Amid Hopeful Expectancy
At the same time the Prime Ministers meet in an atmosphere
of hopeful expectancy. 'Canadian-voters sincerely believe that
their leaders will carry out their pre-election promises. Mr. .Mitchell
F. Hepburn, Prime Minister of 'Ontario during his two year® of of
fice, to the astonishment and the delight of the whole Dominion has
brough tab-out reforms and effected economies away beyond all ex
pectation. ‘Other Provinces ‘have the same experience. Even
greater results are looked .for from the approaching conference.
They Face the Unemployment and Relief Situation
■For one thing the problem of unemployment and of relief re
quires to be faced squarely and adequately dealt with. Conditions
in this regard have become well-nigh intolerable.
When the crash of 1929 came and worker® by the thousands
were thrown out of employment the great majority of people rush
ed to the aid of the needy in the fond hope that the situation was
but a passing phase of Canadian economic life. With this in mind
charitable organizations and municipalities and governments, both
provincial and federal, poured out money in order that the extrava
gant standard of living of the preceding riotous years might be
maintained. ‘Folk, who should have practiced the most element
ary economy during the years of plenty looked for a continuance
of the expensive habits that had now become their tormentors.
Reeves, councilions, members cf parliament with ah eye on the bal
lot box vied with each other in the expenditure of money for relief,,
meanwhile doing very little to have the out-of-works fend for them
selves. Municipalities soon found that their extravagance in grant
ing relief was resulting in a burden -cn the taxpayers and realized
that they must get the money elsewhere. Where were they to
get this money but from the provincial government The provinces
that had fallen into the same .folly as had the municipalities, felt
the stern reaction of the municipalities and appealed to the Domin
ion government. Al.l manner of ipulblic works were started with
out considering the intrinsic importance of those works with but
one aim, the spending of large sums cf money among the unemploy
ed. Grit was played against Tory. Finally the bills commenced
coming in and the taxpayer became indignant. Loan after loan was
floated by the governments, both provincial and federal, till the
sober minded saw that the issuance of loans was but a .form of
money inflation. Demand is made for a more saner method of fi
nance. What will the Premiers say about this phase of our Dom
inion’s difficulty?
•And What About the Railways?
In this respect, 'Canada is far overbuilt. Her trade simply will
not make her 100-0’s of miles cf track a paying proposition for many
a yeai' to come. Along with her oversupply of railroads goes the
growth of her cement road® where trucks and buses are now 'doing
the work formerly done foy the railroads. Canada has tracks and
other railway equipment ‘but she has not the traffic to make this
equipment a sound financial venture. ‘The result is that the
government has taken over a great deal of the expense of the rail
roads only to- find-that the taxpayers are decidedly uneasy. If ex
penditures in this department are not lessened thoughtful Cana
dians have the gravest .fears for the country’s financial future. They
■fail to see how the government can borrow ‘itself out of debt, no
matter who. the money-lender may be. This constitutes a national
rather than a political iprofblem.
To Celebrate Birthday
of Andrew Carnegie
During the week of November 25
the Exeter Public Library will join
with other libraries all over the
world in celebrating the one-hun
dredth anniversary of the birth of
Andrew Carnegie, noted philanthro
pist .and steel magnate who gave
nearly $65,000,000 .to build, endow
or equip almost 3,000 libraries—
1,900 of them in the United States
and ‘Canada and the rest scattered
throughout the English-speaking
world. It is estimated that 35,000,-
000 people receive library service
from 'Carnegie building®.
Formal centenary ceremonies will
be held in New York, Pittsburg and
Washington.
The Exeter Public Library was
built in 1914, the Board receiving
from the Carnegie Corporation about
$8,000 for the cost of the building.
The minute® give the information
that the land on which the building
was erected was purchased from
Mrs. Bawden for $1,100. The mem
bers of the Board at that time were.
H. E. Huston, Wm. Weekes, J. A.
Stewart, N. D. Hurdon, J. Taylor
and I. Carling.
As a igift from the Carnegie Cor
poration the Library has received
a framed portrait of Andrew Carne
gie 'Which will be hung in the Lib
rary als-o seven attractive posters
presenting Carnegie quotations in
attractive form. These will be plac
ed in prominent places in the Lib
rary during the period of anniver
sary.
Mr. Carnegie died In 1919, but the
Carnegie Corporation, which he
founded in 1911. has continued his
library benefactions. No library
buildings have been built since
1917, when building activities were
halted because of the World War,
but the Corporation has aided in
promoting the library idea in other
ways.
In America, a ten-year library
program has recently been complet
ed by the Carnegie Corporation
which included grants to the Amer
ican Library Association for the
promotion and improvement of lib
rary facilities; the founding of the
Graduate Library School at the
University of Chicago; aid to college
libraries and to library schools;
grants for rural library extension;
library surveys, studies and demon
strations; grants for library fellow
ships and aid in. promoting adult
education through libraries.
In Great Britain, the Carnegie
United Kingdom Trust, by means of
grants to aid in establishing county
libraries, has mads library privileges
available to almost 100 per cent,
of the population when only 60 per
cent, were served before.

Why Cannot I Get
A Good Night’s Rest?
Sleep is essential to our very existence as while
we repose we are collecting energy to go forth to
another day’s work.
Loss of sleep is a serious matter, and. unless we
get proper rest, sooner or later, the nervous system
is bound to collapse.
Tone up your nervous system with Milbum’s H, &
N. Pills. Then there will be no more broken rest;
no more disturbing dreams; no more nightmares; no
more getting up in the morning feeling as tired as
when you went to bed.V
