S 12 -BIG BISCUITS IN EVERY BOX SEAT MADE IN CANADA . BY CANADIANS • OF CANADIAN WHEAT WESTERN FAIR IS GOING AHEAD As far as the Western. Fair is con- cerned there has been no hard times. This thriving exhibition has not once halted' in, its progress, and indications this year already point to an even greater exhibition than ever before, Secretary W. D. Jackson in a recent interview remarked on the applica- tions for exhibition space, and it is his belief that the Fall will see an awakening in, the trade centres that will be reflected in the "Greater Canada" exhibits which are . always a feature of the Western Fair at Lon- don, "This exhibition will be remarkable for more than one reason," said Mr. Jackson. "To begin with, everything is going to be cheaper --transporta- tion, living expenses, and certainly the dollar this year has far greater spending power than for very many years. Yet, the Fair that will be offered to the public will be on dust as big a scale as ever, for our dir- ectors have planned an Exhibition that will be a step forward, as usual. Every effort is being made to have each department up to the records achieved in previous years, and we know definitely that some depart- ments will create new records." "Particularly in the Agriculture branches of the Western Fair mark- ed improvements will be seen. The Ontario Arena, with its inside judg- ing ring, offers an educational ad- vantage to agriculturists and stock- men which should not be overlook- ed. Judging of live stock will be on every day of the fair, and no admis- sion fee is charged to the Arena dur- ing the hours of judging.

DEATH HAUNTS THE TRAIL OF JAYWALKER Startling Number of Fatalities in '31 According to figures furnished by Hon. Leopold Macaulay, Minister of. Highways, the practice of crossing streets diagonally at intersections, or crossing between intersections, has brought death or injury to 900 per- sons in Ontario last year. The responsibility for these acci- dents must be shared equally be-. tween drivers of motor vehicles and pedestrians. Both must realize that in these days of speeded up traffic, safety lies in full and earnest 'co-op- eration between those who walk and. those who drive. "Sir, my wife said I was to ask for a raise."
