paign made by the State highway
police, to curb the recklessness
among truck drivers there was a
substantial decrease in the number
of mishaps this year charged to
them. The total so far is 207 as
against 262 last year. There were 8
mishaps charged to collisions with
omnibuses, 8 to motorcycles, % to
wagons and 8 to bicycles.
OF the collisions, SAG happened on
state highways, 6S on county roads,
So in towns, Is at railroad crossings
and 4 at street car crossings.
There was very little difference
between the number of accidents
happening in-the day time or at
night. There were 351 in the day
time and 1893 at night.
The hour from to 8 in the eve
ming, leads the "a hours with 62 ac-
cidents, the hour from 6 to in the
evening being second with 81 and
third place goes to from 4 to in
the afternoon with 49. From to 6
in the evening is almost as fatal
with 48.
AS has been the case since this
detail of the accident report has
been assembled, drivers from rs to
81 years of age are responsible for
the largest number of accidents
with 716. Second places goes to those
from 1S to "a years old with 257
and those 55 years and over are ac-
oused of 65 mishaps Those under Is

! We are about to celebrate the
birthday of the Greatest Baby ever
born to mankind, of the most humble
parentage, of the hillside town OF
Nazareth. A Baby whose nativity
was of Bethlehem of Judea, a long
promised Babe by the messengers
and teachers of Jehovah, namely
(prophets), whose lineage was of
David. One that came from the iv-
Ory palaces of Heaven to reclaim a
lost and sin-sick world, to be a Saw
iour of all people, the government
should be upon his shoulders, a
Prince of Peace to all nations-that
wars might be abolished and peace
rule and reign in the hearts of all
people and His kingdom be estab-
lished for ever. How shall we then
celebrate this, the greatest of all
birthdays? With noise and confusion
or with festivities blending into the
Yuletide spirit; or lift up our heads
and catch the notes of angelic voices
that have come down to each sue
ceeding generation for nearly two
thousand years. May we rejoice that
a Saviour was born, that is Christ
the Lord.
The turkey supper at St Georges

enforced and that the penalties
should be increased. Mr.. HoffecBer,

consider what changes in the pres
