The quantities to be shipped are 21 million dozen spring fresh eggs each year; 12,5 million dozen fall and winter fresh eggs each year; 18 million dozen storage eggs each ycar; and 7,500 long tons of died egg powder, The new egg contract thus provides a floor un- der the egg market until January 31, 1949, says the Current Review of Ag- ricultural Conditions it Canada, The price adjustments are planned so as to encourage production when Great Brit- all needs eggs most, during the fall and winter period, This objective is to be attained in two ways: (1) by extending by one month the fall and winter period to /auttary 31st., in each year; (2) by in. encasing the price by 2 cents a dozen, at seaboard, from September 1 to fan. nary 81. The price during the remain. der of the contract year, Pdbruary 1 to August 31, is increased by, one cdnt dozen.

Early in 1946 the Manitoba Government brought down this unique piece of highway legislation. It is designed to increase materially the financial responsibility of the mot- orist and to reduce to an absolute min- imum the possibility of an innocent ac- cident victim suffering through the in- ability of a blamable driver to compen- sate him for his injuries. The out- standing feature is the impetus given to the assumption of. insurance pro- tection by the motorist. There is no direct compulsion for the taking out of public liability in- surance, but there is an indirect pres- sure, and one which has had notice- able results. Before the law came in only 27 per cent of the motorists car- ried the necessary insurance, and to- day it is estimated that 89 per cent are insured. Under the new law, there is an "un- satisfied Judgement fund" sef up, and and each motorist has to pay a com- pulsory annual fee of $1.00 into the fund. If a culpable driver lacks suf- making it compulsory for the owner of an automobile, truck or bus to carry i,ublic liability and property damage insurance of a fixed minimum value before he would be eligible for a lic- ense. This wonld provide protection for both the responsible motorist and the possible accident victim; it would drive "bad risks", irresponsible driv- ers and dangerous vehicles, off the roads, since Insurance companies would not insure them; and the great- er volume of insurance thus taken out should lower the cost of the Insurance preniiums. * t * YOUR VOTE • ,Last Monday, believe it or not, you voted. If you 'went to the polling booth and marked your ballot, you vot- ed directly; and, if you were unable, too lazy, or too indifferent, to go to the polling booth, then yott voted in- directly, If you didn't exercise your voting franchise you automatically ac- cepted and acknowledged as your own,' the verdict rendered at the polls by the people who did vote. In other words, Mr. and Mrs. non- voting citizen you elected the men who will guide the affairs of our town for the •next year. They are your choice, so get behind them and boost their efforts, If you were denied, the privilege and opportunity of freely voting by secret 'ballot, you would be the first to' complain, and yet you don't use your franchise when you have it. It is a, strange paradox also that people who insist on running their own homes and businesses should be so careless about the affairs of their ,town. This is your town. The town's busi- ness is your busbies. What attention did you pay to that. business last Mon- day. We believe personally that all the candidates'who ran for office are splen- did citizens and sincere in their offers to serve our community. We knoW that no two individuals have the same talents and abilities, and it is our dem- ocratic -way, and privilege, to select and elect public servants by majority vote, That is as it should be, but, un- less larger numbers of citizens exercise their franchise, the will of the majority of the people may not be truly ckpress- ed. In future, do your own voting and; iw the meantime, don't knock the men you elected indirectly. No citizens who neglected to vote should ever raise his voice or express an opinion regarding the way the town is run, * WEEKLY THOUGHT Proverbs 6;16-19,—"These six things cloth the Lord bate; yea seven are an abomination unto Him: a proud look, a lying tongue, and HANDS THAT SHED INNOCENT BLOOD, an heart that deviseth wicked imagina- tions, feet that be swift in running to mischief, a false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren."
