The deep rllts forllled by this traffic, coupled with the activity of the plow, have left street cross- ings ill a still worse condition for pedestrians. Formerly it was the chief concern of the civic authorities to keep these crossings clear. Car owners, for the most part, were content to use other means of locomotion in mldlvlnter, with and fuel, and at less expense to the city. This year one rarely hears the jingle of sleigh-bells; cars are almost as nlllch in evidence as in mid- summer, while pedestrians are left pretty much to their own unaided efforts in navigating haz- ardous intersections. The change has meant ex- penditure of a good deal more money; but what, in practical value to our citizens, does it amount to? So lollg as the streets and roads are kept open to the hospitals, the airport and service training centres, there seems really no neces- sity for using the plow to encourage heavy lnitllvinlcr car traffic. A return to the use of slciglls, as of old, wollld mean some curtailment of govcrlllncllt gasoline revenue; but after all, gasoline is a vital war requirement and its con- servation may have. to be enforced before the war is over. The possibility of gasoline ration- ing has been hinted at by Finance Minister Ilslcy. The argument that this would affect otlr tourist trade docs not apply to present coll- ditiolls. The fact that we are war should be kept in llllllfl. It would be no great sacrifice to dispense witll tho unnecessary’ use of cars, at a time when the (‘l(‘lll(‘lllS themselves are against their operation with ally degree of comfort or convenience.

All!!! Funeral by wireless is the latest. A Lcdtlc. Alta., wolnan, unable to attend the funeral of her husband in Edlnonton because of illness, heard the ceremony in her home over a tele- phone hook-up arranged by the Alberta Gov- ernment telephones. From the funeral home, the burial service was carried to the woman and was audible over a loudspeaker. Miscrophones were concealed in the funeral chapel to pick up the funeral sermon, music and details. All de- tails of the service were clearly audible and dis- tinct. No one in the service knew the cere- m°nY W3! being cirriicld putside the building.

Of the loan $3,- 000,000 is in refunding maturities of last March and $2,000,000 is for capital expenditures and road surfacing. Mr. Iiart said the success of the loan reflected the high standing of British Columbia's credit. w- m w r The man lvho organized the first blackout system for the Midlands was filled 2o shillings plus 7 shillings 6 pence costs for violating black- out regulations by carrying an lulscreellcd flash- light at Countcsthorlle, Leicester.
