COMPULSORY MILITARY
SERVICE
For some time people have had
fear that the European situation is
very serious but the hope was always
to the front that war would be avert
ed. The recent move of the British
parliament in approving compulsory
military service shows that the Brit
ish Cabinet feels that a greater effort
for defense is necessary than has been

DRIVE WITH CARE ~
Traffic on the highways now that
finer weather is here is increasing
each week and this greater traffic
brings with it more accidents. It is
only natural that the greater the traf
fic the greater will be the number of
accidents. The motorists can do much
required for many years of their his
tory. The adoption of conscription
may cause the dictators of other na
tions to pause and reflect before they
do anything that would plunge the
world into another war, but some are
of the opinion that this is the big step
in Britain in preparation for the war
that it was hoped would never come.

FEAR SABOTAGE
It is feared that in event of hostil
ities that sabotage will play a big part
in the enemies’ plans. Tp cope with
this situation the veterans of Canada
have registered so that in event of
war all places of importance in our in
dustrial and commercial life could be
quickly guarded. We can well iriiag-
ine what havoc could be caused if our
power houses, railways, canals, were
put out of business or badly crippled
when, they were needed most.
The Ontario and Quebec Legislat
ures have prorogued for this session.

finish their sittings for the year. We

Find No Blame in Fire Death
A coroner’s jury inquiring into the
fatal burning of Mrs. Loretta Mont
gomery, Seaforth, called the fatality
an accident and^ placed no blame on
any one. Mrs, Montgomery, 31 years
old, Seaforth, woman, mother of six
children, died in Scott Memorial Hos
pital, Seaforth, early on the morning
of April 11 from burns received in a
mysterious manner in a fire at her
residence, a few hours earlier. The
verdict of the jury read: “We the jury
find Loretta Montgomery came to her
death from shock due to burns from
a fire of unknown origin. From the
evidence given we the jury attach no
blame to any one person or persons.”
Bad Blaze at Lucknow
Fire of unknown origin which strat-
ed in McDonald Bros, shoe store, ear
ly Friday morning, completely des
troyed their stock and fixtures. The
stock of William Murdie & Sons’
hardware store in the s’ame block was
badly damaged by smoke and water,
as were glso the living apartments
above the stores, occupied by Dr. Jas.
Little and Chas. Cook'. The block is
owned by William Murdie and the
damage in each case is partly covered
by insurance.
Made High Standing
In the United States Revolver Assn,
bulletin, the results were given of the
average shooting for the season of ten
matches. There were five hundred en
tries’ from the United States and
Canada. Dr. J. G. Kirk, of Listowel,
was successful in securing fourth
place, and his record was only a few
points below the first man. The first
place had a score of 233.3, while Dr.
Kirk’s score was 231.2. — Listowel

Deadlock Over Airport , **
Attended by twenty members of
Sky Harbor Airport Club, a meeting
held in the Court House wrestled with
the question of wljether or not an av
iation meet will be held in Goderich
at the civic holiday week-end * this
year. G. L. Parsons, who presided,
told the meeting that so far negotia
tions of the club to take over or pur
chase the lease to, the airport, now
held privately by Ray Dean, had been
unsuccessful., Mr. Dean, it’ was ex
plained, had put a price on the lease
of $1500, which 'was considered alto
gether too high. The club 'considers
its equity in the hangar and work
done on the airport grounds more
than offsets the price the lessee has
put on the lease.
River Stocked
Saugeen River, below Paisley, has
been restocked for the season. More
than 100,000 brown trout have been
placed in the stream which has be
come a favorite with fishermen in
Western Ontario.
Who Named Mildmay?
A writer recently gave the origin
of the names of the various munici
palities in the County of Bruce, but
was unable to say how Hiklmay got
its name, other than it was formerly
called iMernersville. This village,.it is
said, was called after a park in Eng
land. From another source, we learn
that iti May 1873, a traveller coming
down on the train front Walkerton,
stepped off at the station, and remark
ed that it was a beautifully “Mild
May Day,” and the place was there
upon called Mildmay.—Mildmay Gaz
