> “Ore a yer for 'seyer‘at yeats past with’ the approach of Spring which heralds, ‘among. other. important, happénings, tie return of tens of thous- ands)of. motor. cars and trucks to the-highways of the country, attention has been: dirécted:in this column to the résponsibility which, rests. upon the drivers of ‘these cars and trucks to exercise due. caution in their operation. Once again ene ‘attention of all, motorists is drawn to this vitally important matter, . With the invention of the motor car, a new machine of great utility, as well as a source of pleasure, was. provided. .. It is.a machine of great power, and with: the.passing of the years the power of:the individual. car or truck has steadily increased. In so fer as the machine itself is concerned, and keeping pace’ with its increased power and speed, there has been consistent improvement in its strength and in the provision of manifold safety devices. ‘The modern car is, therefore, less liable to accident than its predecessor of fifteen, ten, even five years ago. Further, with the enormous increase in the number of cars and trucks in use, there has been a great improvement in highway construction and maintenance, calculated to decrease accidents. On the other hand, these better highways have made possible driving at greater speeds than’ were . Possible upon the old roads of bygone years and have encouraged the pur- chase of many more cars, both of which factors have resulted in greater density of traffic, and traffc moving much more rapidly. Thus, to a greater degree than ever before, the human factor,—the man or the woman at the wheel,—becomes the controller in the matter of acci- dents. Unfortunately, far too many drivers fail to appreciate the enormous power of the machine they are operating,—a power for destruction just as truly as a power for transportation. It is a power within the control of almost countless’ thousands of individuals, which, improperly controlled, may mean death and injury not only to the careless and reckless motorist, but to others who are exercising every possible care and driving with the utmost. ‘caution and consideration for otifers. “What war was that?” was the pointed question asked in the British House of Commons recently, during a debate on a motion dealing with the ‘serious increase in the number of road ‘accidents, when the Home Secretary submitted figures of “killed and injured” in road accidents in Great Britain in the eight years 1926-33, The figures were: Killed, 50,837; injured, 1,421,083, Furthermore, the detailed figures revealed an increase in the toll taken in each succeeding year. “Such waa the record in a country noted for its good roads, for the excellence‘ of the workmanship upon its cars, and for general observance of Jaws and regulations. It is a record which establishes how necessary it is + that the motorist should exercise the greatest care at all times and under all circumstances in the operation of his or her car, ‘At this time, owing to prevailing economic conditions, many people are opfrating cara which, under other and better conditions which prevailed a fow years ago, they should have replaced with new. cars... They are still using well worn tires which in other years they would.have replaced with new“utid stronger tires. Because of the necessity of keeping. expenditures fo) pairs down to a minimum, many cars have not been overhauled as-in former years; brakes may not be in full working order;.lamps.may be de- fective; ‘springs and bolts and other accessories may be worn thin, nigh to the breaking point. Such cars, if operated at an undue ‘speed, may easily spell disaster not only’ for the driver and passengers, but for other motor- ists or pedestrians. All persons whose carg are, not in. absolutely. first, class: condition are under the grave responsibility of driving .with. unusual: care ‘and observing every precaution. In fact,.they owe a duty to -them- selves and to all other people not to operate their, cars if they are in a’ gon- dition dangerous to operate. |. But whether a car 1s in first class shape or “not,.the oft-repeated and emphasized duty which devolves upon ail motorists: remains. That-duty is to ‘know and“to observe the accepted regulations governing traffic upon the highways and to obey the laws enacted for the Protection of all and in the cgmmon interest of all. Even if Jaws and regulations ‘did not establish a code of conduct for both motorists and pedestrians, ‘there is the courtesy of the road which should be’: tmajntained and-observed. ‘Mer should“conduct theraselves as gentlemen and worgen should behave as ladies: Courtesy should prevail over selfishness. Instead of the present appalling “yecdrtot accldeits; ‘instead of that record mounting higher year after year, a change-for'the better,—a lower record,—can be and ought to be established in 1934. It Hes in the power of the individual motorist to bring about such’a desirable result, and rhe motorist, more than ‘any other person, will benefit . ‘therefrom. : An Unusmal_Pet Full-Grown Deer Follows Ontario Man Like Dog John A. Campbell, of Kincardine, Ontario, boasts a novel pet that tags along behind his car at 30 miles an hour es lightly as its shadow. His pet is a full-grown doe. The history of the deer’s attachment to the farmer dates back to blackberry sea- son, 1932. Mr. Campbell found her near his house, apparently abandon- ed) She willingly went home with hima. Now that she is full grown she waits for him outside his door like a sentinel. When he comes out she fol- lows him about. And when he goes for a drive in his car she lopes along beside him. ‘What we can’t understand is why daring flyer gets. more credit than those who fly the same route to-look for him.

WDoudled In Vancouver , Automobile sales in: Vancouver since the beginning of .1934° are double those for the same period last year, it is officially announced, and all indications point to 1934 being the most prosperous year in the automobile business since 1929. Motor dealers report that the pub- lic demand for new models is making delivery difficult and it is that it will be impossible to:nn inany buying orders except on a “aelagce delivery’ ” Dasis. “The “Arctic Prairies fAretic: Prairies Or Northern ‘are much more appropri than the.” term Grounds’) wrongly applied to “1 d tracts of.

'. Polygot Machine’ Invented Will Read And ‘Translate Any Lang- Claim uage Is Invention of.a polygot machine which can read and translate any ‘language was claimed in Guayaquil, Ecuador, by Di.“Octavo ‘Cordero, who said “that is’ first machine, of port- able size and-carrying nine lang- uages Of 2,000 words each, was con- structed of pasteboard, tin, wood, springs and’ rubbet. Dr. Crespo Toral declared the invention was the most important since the discovery of Amierica, and enthusigstic friends of the inventor planned to offer shares in a company to exploit the machine. Made Many Rescue Flights During the last five years between 300 and 400 rescue flights hsve been undertaken by the ambulance planes of the Red Cross Aerial Ambulance Service of Sweden, many uidor the most dangerous and difficult circum- stances in a temperature of 40 de- grees centgirade below zero, in the face of blizzards, in darkness and fogs with adventurous descents in unknown places. * ¢+ Ching’s 5 Unclaimed Dead A total of 1 588'tinclaimed bodies werp: found in* the’ streets,‘ crecks, aj, .on. th: ‘waterfront of ‘Shanghai. aces 1983, according to the annual reportiof the Dong Jen FuvAn’ Tong :| Benevolent Sdctety. |. “This” | ‘entirely financed by Ghinese, dedi cates itself’ to burying/the. city's un claimed dead and to.provide coffins for" poor families'ns. ‘Welt as giving freg “medical gervice. $9 paupers. ee aaa ta iS i) i fety, | 4] @ performance. -tscribers have been added in Shang- ey Agticultural Notes] Many ‘ “Western Farmer Canada and 25 other countries: of the world produce beet sugar. : About 90 per cent. of the United ffates imports of wool pass through fe ports of Boston, Philadelphig,, and New York. ° In Nova Scotia the home market will not absorb more than 10 per cent. dt the commercial -crop of- apples, therefore about 90 per cent. of the crop is exported. ‘Hollyhocks are classed by botan- ists ‘ag biennial but they frequently Uve for several years. They seed themselves freely, so that it is quite easy ‘to keep them in the garden border. Among the swarms of locusts that invaded Rhodesia, British South Africa, and the various districts of Angola, Portugese West Africa, the passage of onc flight at Ganda lasted eight hours. Red spiders thrive on plants un- der house conditions and are hard to overcome. Good results have been obtained by dusting the plants care- fully, particuarly the underside of the leaves, with flowers of sulphur. Canadian grown barley, _ oats, wheat, and corm are excellent feeds for beef cattle. In feeding trials conducted both in Canada and in the United States, barley has been shown to be practically the equal’ of corn in the beef ration. Canadian customs duty, sales, and special excise taxes have been re- mitted from February 1 to April 7 this year on imported Passover bread, or Matzos, and other matzo products, such as whole wheat, whole meal, egg, and cracker matzos. The wool production of the world (excluding Russia) in 1933 is pro- visionally estimated at 3,410,000,000 Ibs. (greasy basis), a decrease of 180,00,000 pounds fn comparison with 1932, This is the first appreciable decrease for ten years. Prairiemallow is one of the most useful summer flowers in the beau- tification of Canadian homes, and should be ‘more generally grown. The leaves are rich and dark green, while from the upright stems the flowers grow all along the stalk. They are easily raised from seed. In the world trade in rice the mon- soon countries of Asia-Burma, French Indo-China and Siam play an overwhelmingly predominant part, but Koreas, Formosa, Annam, Cochin- China, Japan, Syria, Lebanon and Egypt are also large exporters. The United States, Bulgaria, Italy and Spain are the western. exporters. Aphids, or plant lice, of different species are to be found. attacking almost every vegetable or field crop in Canada. They are sucking insects and as such are not amenable to con- trol by the use of a stomach poison, such as arsenate of Jead. Nicotine sulphate is the insecticide most com- monly used against aphidse It can be used either as a spray or dust. The first settlement of white men in Australia took'place in 1788 some 300 years later than the beginnings of white settlement in North America. That was at Sydney, New South Wales, and it was not until about 1825 that first settlements were made in Adelaide and Melbourne. The latter city celebrates its first centen- nary as a municipality this year, while Canada is to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the landing of Jacques Cartier. A Strict C No amount of “cutting” will let a film pass a German censor under a. new law now in effect—once the film has been placed on the blacklist. The law, which virtually authorized the| Propaganda Ministry to veto or cen- sor a film before it is made, provides that foreign films which in. their original version seem derogatory to German interests may not be shown: in, Germany. “Fast Trip By ’Plane pert.
