A person holding only a temporary instruction per mit may no longer carry a passenger on the pillion seat of the motorcycle, and a personwith a tempor- ary permit is now prohibited from driving a rented motorcycle. Mr. Haskett said the new regulations, which are effective immediately, stem from an intensive and continuing study of accidents involving motorcycles There were 22,042 motorcysles registered in Ont- ario at the end of August, and a total of 1,588 were involved in accidents in the first eight mon- ths of the year. Drivers of cars and trucks have to be on the alert for them, as they are smaller than vehicles they are accustomed to seeing. Te hope the cyclists will have it borne home that they have an obligation to obey the same rules of the road that apply to cars. Evidently this idea has never dawned on some cyclists we have had the doubtful pleasure of observing. EDITORIAL BRIEFS Now that J. Carl Hemingway has accepted the nom- ination of the New Democratic Party, a three-way contest is assured in Huron. He will be running ag- ainst Maitland Edgar of Clinton, Liberal candidate, and R.E. McKinley of Zurich, Conservative.Suport- ing speaker at the nomination meeting in Clinton last week was none other than Donald C. MacDonald; leader of the provincial party, and an old campaig- ner, while relatively young in years. The New Dem- ocrats do not pretend to foresee a victory by means of election in Huron. They believe that a substan- t i al gain in the popular vote in Canada ill put them in a very commanding position 'Alen it comes to screening contentious legislation, and in this they may well be right.

Plants that have not thrived outdoors are unlikely to improve indoors and should be discarded. It is advisable to bring the plants in- doors before artificial Ifeat is turned on in the house. The abrupt change to hot, dry air of heated homes can be harmful. The pots and plants should be cleaned before bringing them in. Any insect infestation should be controlled by spray- ing. Some plants may benefit from repotting with a good loamy soil, especially if the plant is too large for the pot or the soil exhausted. Plants such as geraniums and coleus are sometimes large and straggly. To improve their appearance they may be cut back to about one-third their size before they are brought in. Give such plants as much light as possible and set them in a cool place. New growth will be produced quickly. Bring Potted Plants Indoors P et. M e NaughtSymbeee,Inc.

P.O. Box 94 hayfield Phone 96 Only a week or two ago this column commented on the increased hazards on our streets and roads because of the swarms of motorcycles which the latest fad and a prosperous economy have brought into use. Apparently Transport Minister Irwin Haskett has been struck by the same thought, for new regulations have been promulgated. A new rule states that a person who holds only a temporary instruction permit may no longer carry a passenger on the pillion seat of a motorcycle, and a person with a temporary permit is now prohibit- ed from driving a rented motorcycle. Mr. Haskett said the new regulations, which are effective immediately, stem from an intensive and continuing study of accidents involving motorcycles. "The number of motorcycles registered in On- tario has more than doubled in the past eight months," Mr. Haskett said. There were more than 22,000 motor- cycles registered in Ontario at the end of August, and a total of 1,588 were invol- ved in accidents in the first eight months of the year. The previous peak of motor- cycle registrations was in 1950, when there were nearly 14,000. At that time the motorcycle registrations accounted for a greater proportion of the total motor vehicles and were involved in a greater proportion of accidents than is the case today. Since then the number of motor- cycles dwindled until their resurgence of popularity in the past two years. The Minister has pointed out that with the greater number of motorcycles on the road drivers of cars and trucks must be more alert for them. Motorcycle rides are urged to wear safety helmets at all times and to obey all the rules of the road which apply to other motor vehicles. In addition, it is safe practice for the motorcycle operator to keep more than the usual distance be- tween his machine and the vehicle he is following. Wingham Advance-Times I
