STURGEON LAKE

The slippery roads and sleety wealth
err that has existed the past week, has
caused some Inconvenience to auto
mobile drivers on and off the high
way. The icy pavement Wednesday,
caused few mishaps, none of any
serious nature but enough to cause
some expense and embarrassment.
One car skidded off the pavement
north of town and broke a rear wheel
and put a few dents in the side Of
the car. 1t is important to take ex-
IRENE precautions when driving a car
when the pavement is slippery and
the windshield gets covered with a
sheet of ice so as to obscure the
vision.

the House of Commons today that he
hoped to be able to announce on
Wednesday when the present special
session of Parliament would be brought
to a close.
His statement put an end to runnors
he would announce today an immediate
general election.
The Prime Minister was represented
by close friends as having come to
the decision that he would step aside
in the event that a general election be-
come necessary this Fall.
He intends to carry on as head of the
National government, 1t was said, and
If the non-partisan project does not
draw support from all parties he will
refuse to lend his leadership to any one
section or party in an appeal to the
people.
He was said to have demanded free

Macdonald does not want to go into

His decision was interpreted as an
answer to Conservative leaders who
have been booming him as the man to
carry the fight to the country on a
protective tariff issue. 1t was apparent
party leaders had not reached an agree

election, although Conservative ranks
are strongly in favor.
Mr.. Macdonald spent the week end
at Chequers comforting with friends in
all parties on the election matter and
other problems and was back at his
desk in Downing street this morning
with renewed vigor for his task.
