DEATH
HIG
If every human life in a village of 800 people in the
Province of Ontario were snuffed out in one day, news-
papers throughout the entire world would carry the story
of the ghastly tragedy.
If one of your loved ones—or even a friend—were a victim,
it would become quite a grievous, horrible, personal loss !
That is precisely what is going on in Ontario this year.
Nearly 800 people will be killed on our highways. Nearly
14,000 will be injured —many , of them crippled ; many
of them suffering almost unbearable pain. Death and
untold suffering stalk our highways and this must stop!
RECKLESS DRITVERS E I E B
Motorists have been requested to be courteous on the road
but the death toll mounts at an appalling rate. This Depart-
ment, with the aid of our internationally famous police force
and public-spirited citizens, intends to put reckless drivers
off the road ! You must stop cutting in, passing on hills and
curves, crowding, racing, taking chances. Unless you have
regard for the safety and convenience of other users of our
highways you will soon find yourself in serious trouble.
TiST n WE ASK Y § ?R HELP
When you see a motorist driving in a manner dangerous to the public,
take his number, make a careful note of the actual time and place, and
when you reach your destination write to the Motor Vehicles Branch,
Department of Highways, Toronto, giving full details. We do not
invite reports of minor infringements of the ,traffic laws; you are re-
quested to use sound judgment. We will deal adequately with offenders!

ander will discuss the problem of par-
tition of Palestine, which has aroused
such strong expressions of opinion
Froin Jewish and Arab communities

W. Hedylauff, farmer -poet of Wild -
horse, Alta., who was one of the 'ori-
ginal settlers in township 1, 'range 1,
in the extreme south-eastern corner
of that province, is scheduled to
speak September 20 from Lethbridge

New Programs
OBC program men are knee-deep
these days in a mass of new enter-
tainment ideas which they are trying
to weed out for network production
this fall and winter, Prospects of a
new high in radio broadcasting are
bright, they say, with plenty of va-
riety that should satisfy all types of
listeners. There seems -to be keen
competition among the program inen;
each one of whom is striving to bet-
ter the others in developing features
of an outstanding nature. No defin-
ite schedule of programs has :yet
been set, but we hope soon to make
some announcement as to your fall
and winter radio fare.
For Fall and Winter.

Mr. King Cancels Speech
In view of; the approaching Ontario
election, Right Hon, W. L. Mackenzie
King has definitely cancelled . the
speeches he had, considered Making
at political picnics in Ontario. He is
adhering to his custom of remaining
aloof from ' provincial politics.
"I think it is better to prevent pin,.
vineial and federal issues from becom-
ing confused," said Mr. King, "and
to give a clear field to'those who are.
campaigning far election in the pro-
vince."-
Mr. Kingsaid he was a bit dis-
appointed at having to cancel his ap-
pearances, as hehad looked forward
to the picnics, particularlythe one
in North York, a constituency he for-
merly represented. The presence or
absence of certain persons at the pia"
nics, however, might give rise to un
warranted inferences were he to go
ahead with the engagements.

WHAT OTHER NEWSPAPERS ARE SAYING
WARM WEATHER BLUES
People who have nothing to do but
think of the weather are having a
hot time these days. Not only do
they feel hot themselves, but they
make others feel that way too. If
you meet one of thein on the street,
invariably they show an excessive de-
sire to impress you with the fact that
it is a hot day.
As though you didn't know it with-
out them telling you. You may be
walking along, minding your own
business. You may be humming or
even ,whistling that frigid tune,
"From :Greenland's Icy Mountains"
when suddenly you meet one of these
promoters, gasping, "Hot day," as
soon as they come within range. And
if you return a somewhat cold, "Uh-
huh," merely as an act of courtesy,
they glare as though you had commit-
ted an offence against the moral code
of the community.
They think you are not human be-
cause you do nothing more than mut-
ter or nod your head in assent to
their fiery declaration that it is a
hot day.
Maybe it isn't the heat. Perhaps
It is the humidity.
—Kincardine News.
ONTARI,O•S POLITICAL LID IS
OFF
The lid of Ontario's political pot
is off and for the next two months
or; so the campaign will be 'under
way, reaching its climax, of course,
on election day. Premier Hepburn,
at his nominating meeting at St.
Thomas, last Thursday, was expect-
ed to state the date of the elections.
He did not go that far but he set
the ball rolling with the announce-
Ment that the election would be soon.
The' fact that the election will be
held this Fall came as a surprise as
it was freely predieted that such
would be the case. Premier Hepburn
must be of the opinion. that an elec-
tion at this time favors him as he
could, by law, remain at ;the helm
without future • endorsation ,for a
long time.
To many an election is quite an
event. 'These political -minded people'
get a great kick out of an election.
There are many though who fail to
get excited indeed, we believe that.
the great majority are that way. El-
ections to -day have not the same zip
that they had years ago, party lines
are not so closely drawn and this
leads to certain indifferences. How-
ever, it is reported that this electro
will be a hard fought one with both
Mr. Hepburn, as Liberal leader, and:
Mr. Rowe at the Conservative helm,
campaigning as never before. It may
be with such a campaign ahead the
old pot will boil as it has not done
for some time.
Fair-minded people will listen to.
and, read the election propaganda and
then go to the polls and cast their•
votes as they reason they should. It
is this type of mind the leaders of
both parties will be out to influence..
It is these votes that win elections.
—Wingham Advance -Times.
A SERIOUS MATTER
It is a mistake to speak of the dan-
ger of introduction of C.I.O. meth-
ods to Ontario as a red herring. At,
Sarnia, at Oshawa and at Peterbor-
ough there have been hints of what
might be expected throughout the
Province if the forces of law and or-
der are not prepared at all times to
checkmate the subversive activities of
C.I.O. agents. Law-abiding Canadian
workmen are entitled to protection
against violence. The situation calls:
for 'more than a statement of belief
in the maintenance of law and order:
It demands from the Opposition a.
statement of what it would do under -
existing circumstances; The Conser-
6atives of Ontario and all electors of
the Province' expect and are entitled;
to have from Mr. Rowe a definite
statement whether , he is for or a-
gainst the C.I.O. Mr. Rowe has said
that unions must obey the law. Alt
he has to add to this is his attitude
to a union which has adoptedand
employed unlawful methods.
