Well, according to the- National Safety Council, it’s not only when she’s in love that woman has things in her favor. _ “Tt’s a woman’s world-as far as safety is concerned, too,” the Council says. ‘“We concentrate on telling women how to keep alive around the house. We virtually ignore the man of the family. * “Yet, working-age males are dying almost twice as fast in home accidents as women, a 16-state survey shows, despite the fact that men spend a lot “It is our OES ‘the average Canadian care how well (or how. badly) his or her community is governed? If inter- est in local government elections over the years is any criterion, the answer must be a resounding no ° - Hardy more than 380% of those eligible to-vote in such elections usually do so, against 50% to 60% in provin- cial elections, and 70% to 80% in fed- -ones. _ And yet, as jas so often yovernment, that of the “municipality ‘touches us most closely. Water, sewage disposal, garbage collection, street construction and re- pair, lighting, police, fire, parks—such services as these are all vital to life as we know it. They may not be the last less time around the house than women.” Why are men dying so fast? “If there’s a hazardous job to be done,” the Council explains, “the man does it. His exposure to danger is greater than his wife’s, and his work at home in- volves more hazardous tools than she uses in doing household chores. “Women can keep. their men alive. Encourage your husband or boy friend. to play it safe when working around the house (or driving his car, for that _matter) and to ‘buy ‘the right safety equipment. . “Tet’s not kill off the man in the home.” business” word in excitement, but we would bein a pretty poor state without’ them. Their provision is the business of municipal, or local, government, and is, therefore, our business. Nor should we forget that municip- al business today is big business. The explosive postward growth of our cit- ies, towns and villages has meant an enormous expansion of these local gov- ernment services. And where else have the huge sums _ necessary to finance this expansion come from if not from taxes? All the more reason, then, why we should all see to it that the best qual- ified and most able citizens become candidates and secure election. _ —The Picton (Ontario) Times.

Letters only were carried— no newspapers, or parcels. He used toboggan, and had a crew of three or four Indians.
