The announcement contains simple rules for traffic safety which. if followed. should ef- fact an immediate improvement in the sit- uatzlon. However, it is also intimated that the Police have been instructed to enforce all traffic rules rigidly, and that a very. definite drive is on foot to make the high-i ways safe from thoughtless, careless or negligent drivers. The Attorney General and his officials will have the strongest measure of public support in this very important and neces- sary campaign. Apparently words of caution and advice are of little value, un- less enforced by the full rigour of the law. The worse menace is doubtless that of drunken driving, but every citizen should be on the alert at all times against acci- dents. Now that the schools have rc-. opened, a very important precaution is that of passing school areas at reduced speed and with redoubled vigilance our Vanishing savings Remember the story of the Dutch fam- ily that emigrated to Canada back in the days of the great depression? Beset by threats of financial disaster, they were sav- ed from despair only by the knowledge that the old grandmother had a comfortable nest egg of several thousand dollars salted away in the neighborhood bank. If'the worst came to the worst, the savings could al- ways be drawn upon. The old lady used to bolster their spirits with the assurance that the nest egg would be their salvation, but she was adamant that only in the direst emergency should the money be used. The old Dutch immigrant's nest egg was, in fact, only a figment of her imagin- ation. When she died. it was found she didnit have a penny. Her imaginary sav- ings, however, had been enough to preserve her family from despair. Nowadays, most of us wish we had a Dutch grandmother like that. Mounting living costs have eaten up a goodly part of most of our personal savings. Inactive chartered bank notice deposits have been steadily declining, and such deposits repre- sent the bulk of individual saving. One immediate consequence of the de- cline in savings is a shortage of capital funds for investment. While the demand for credit for investment is climbing month by month. the available credit. rep- resented by bank deposits, is declining. Lack of funds for investment will inevit- ably be reflected in static or declining pro- ductivity. Municipalities are finding it in- creasingly difficult to float bond issues in the domestic market. and are turning to capital sources elsewhere for their borrow- lng needs. Savings In the bank are a significant token of the state of the nation's economic health. Decline in savings is an economic storm signal, indicating that high spending and high taxation are making individual - saving largely impracticable. The best way to remedy the situation is to curb drastic- ally Ottawals non-defence spending our Pacino Fisheries :; Among the issues affecting Canada in .2 connecdon with the Japanese peace confer- v once now In session in San Francisco is the livelihood of thousands of British Columbia fishermen. Assurances have come from Ottawa that the treaty will require Japan to enter into fisheries agreement with countries that ask for them. A three-way treaty for theprotection and conservation of the West Coast fisheries is already in the making. British Columbia fishermen have reason to be concerned over what may happen when Japan is again on its own. They have vivid recollections of the ex- ploitation of their adjoining waters by Jap- anese competitors before the war. Canada and the United States have both loomed from experience the need of conservation.

It seems to this urban Canadian rift toward "Dc-bvbm-steaks" our ebullient and meat-hungry nation might easily merely compound the confusion-in the frantic but. very human effort. to release the pres- mcstic pocket.-book. One of the farm editors points out the significant fact-that. with- out the horsemcat developmenti and having no relationship to' zooming valuations for beef, "we have only half as many horses in the Dominion today as we had as recently as 19-10. In the latter year. according to the Dominion Bureau of Statistics (Ottawa) the horse number: had declined by about 5002000 as against the 1960 figure-whereas. in the decade 1941-1960. the total again .nosc- dived at accelerated speed. from 2,115,030 to 1.385.000; a decline of almost 50 per cent.-an average decline of 133.000 horses per yearll The question in my mind is' linked to the above trend which. as you well know, was lmpulscd by the steady drift to mechan- ical power clear across the Do- minion.

John Sayre Tay- lor, 31. carefully charted a new career for himself in the hotel business. He took over manage- ment. of his family's Royal Hotel, in Saint John. and by 1947 had made enough money to branch out. and buy the Commodore at fash- ionable Saint Andrews. Go-getter Taylor was elected president of the New Brunswick Hotel Association and held office in both the Can- adian and U.S. Hotel Associations. He crossed Canada twice. made a. 10.000-mile U. S. tour and took a West. Indies cruise to study hotel operations. In every prosperous hotel be surveyed. Taylor was impressed by one fact about the business: the big moneymakcr-as much as 606?. of a hotclts income-is the bar. For Taylor. it was a frustrating situation. New Brunswick prohib- its sale of liquor by the glass. ,Taylor's personal appeal to New Brunswickls strait-laced Premier John McNalr for a change in the liquor law got nowhere. said Me- Nslr: ''There'll be no cocktail launges...as long as I am Pre- mier." Taylor defiantly responded by installing a bar in the Commo- core Hotel. He called it a private club and handed customers "mem- bership cards" like those issued in offlcers' messes. navy wardrooms. and the exclusive New Brunswick social clubs where liquor is sold without police interference. Tay- lor's "club" lasted two months be- fore the Mounties raided the place. seized Taylor's liquor and jailed him. Fined S200 and sentenced to two months in jail last week, Hotel- mnn Taylor declared that it was only the beginning of his fight to break the cocktail ban. He appeal- ed his case to the Provincial Su- preme Court. and threatened to bring charges of his own against the-armed forces messes as well as the clubs which now serve liquor with police knowledge. If Taylor makes good on the threat, army and navy officials and some of New Brunawlck's leading cltluna may have to join him in the dock.

The shop windows have been filled with school books for some ivcsks now and they evoke the old nostalgic feelings for school days. We should still like to have the pencil box we never did get. and the school bag that was always beyond reach. The text books in the windows are strange to us and we should like to go back to school to read them. We could. of course. buy them and read them anyway, but that would not be the same thing. Go back to school is what we want to do. and there do bril- liantly all the things we did badly when we were there. - Montreal Star.

That. is the first time we have encountered such an expression. it made us pull a wry face. The English language is broad enough to provide the right word for any and every occasion and there is no need to invent more. In fact. one of the difficul- ties about learning the English language L5 that so many words. or synonyms. can be used to ex- press the same meanings.

The proposal to crcmnlc n to- tem pole. and use the ashes as some sort of a trophy for competi- tion between New zealsnd and British Columbia cricketers, is not sitting well with the "cultured" people on the West Coast. They point out, and rightly we believe, that the Indian totem poles are works of art that should be pre- served. They are hand-carved masterpieces of a culture and re- ligion that date back hundreds of years. Canada is not so rich In cultural objects that it can afford to lose one totem pole. Already. hundreds of dollars have been spent trying to restore and pre- serve the totem poles that were slowly rotting into dust before their condition became a matter of public protests. -sudbury Star, The television craze that has swept the United States is also ai- fectlng Canada and the interest grows each month. despite the fact that there is no Canadian outlet. During May, according to the Bureau of Statistics, the sale of television sets in Canada in- creased and the sale of radios dropped: This is rather remarkable when it is considered that the good television reception area is greatly limited. Canadian enthus- iasm for television seems to far outstrip official action. The CBC kept rigid control of television in its own hands and delayed its in- auguration. This. fortunately. may be an unanticipated blessing be- cause the rapid advances in the science of TV. particularly in re- gard to color, makes equipment obsolete very quickly. -Kitchener Waterloo Record.
