WARNING, TAKE CARE (Kincardine News) April is noted for its showers which, combined with slush and 1140.111g snow this year spells trouble for thoughtless pedestrians and carelesk motorists alike. If both will exercise ordinary care and caution especially at interseo Ulna there will be no muse for re- proach on the part of either. After alk though motorists use the roads more .than pedestrians, they have no snore rights than those 'who walk. At the same time, Pedes', trians do not have the right of way over motorists. A pedestrian who starts blithely across the street in the path of an oncoming oar in all probability be splashed, unless the motorists Jams on the brakes and makes a superhusnan effort to avoid the mis- hap. However, should a motorist come along .art a fair rate of speed and make no attempt to avoid splas'hing. the best oburse to follow is to take down the 'femme number and let the offender explain it all to the magis trate. If everyone will co-operate there should be no need for frayed tempers or cleaning bills and A,pril will soon, be over. .1.001(1140 FOR SOMtrt4iNo. ,iheodri by Illingwotth tram the London Daly AWL Pos 0111.171e16 *IVA Isles, CANADIAN SCHOOLS eltddliett a4.4 .2a.e4diam4 Boys and girls are encouraged to ask questions in Canadian schools.

The Munchen Society for 'recital. cal Ag•riculturints, Ontario Branch, has received tull approval of the •Ontarto Department of Labor in it aelteme witerebY city, town village help would be available 10 • fanciets during the rush of seeding, haying omit harvest.

Many farmers are on the verge of curtailing production this year be- cause they fear that awing to labor shortage they will be nimble to harvest their ammnl crap without heavy spoilage, C.S.T.A. feels that if these farmers ;knew there was more than a fair chance of harvest help being available in their nearest town til or wouldmake a special ellort at seeding time, and that Is why the C.S.T.A. members are going "all out') to organize help for the farmer before the need arises. Members will address service clubs and place before them the fact that, while farm work is not spectacular, crop production is au ever increasingly important cog in the British war machine and that this cog must not cease to function through lack of man power. The 0.S.T.A. yould lu,.."ae a service club committee, or any other :as- Pousible coanraittee of men, register and organize into community groups and business, professional or in dustrial workers who hate had experience in farm work and who would volunteer one day's service per week anal a proportion of their holidays, to work 05 the farm 51 work at seeding, baying or harvest time in case of need. These volunteers would be organ— ized in groups of four or five where possible s.o that all could go out to- gether in one car to work. It 55 hoped to organize these groups so that each would go out on a differ- ent day per week and so spread the - work. Wages would be paid by the farm- er acording to the worth of the man, and local wage scale. It is proposed to issue registration cards to business men and factorY workers willing to help. These cards would be sent to Alex 102s - Laren, Department of Labor, Par- liament Buildings, 1107011k), who in turn would have them indexed anti sent 4* agrioulthral representatives in that particular volunteer's county.
