four miles north of Clinton last
September. This site was chosen
because it is ,centrally located in
the territory served.
Calls to and from vehicles are
handled by a special operator at
the switchboard in the ;Clinton
telephone exchange. The mobile
telephone switchboard, like the
other switchboards, is in service
24 hours a day.
The tall steel tower near Clin-
ton serves a wide area, which in,
eludes Goderich, Seaforth and
Clinton, as well as Bayfield, Blyth,
Carlow, Dublin, Hensall, Zurich,
Brussels, Dashwood, Dungannon
and Exeter,
Mr. Symonds said that mobile
service will be available to opera-
tors of other types of vehicles in
this region next spring, as soon
as the necessary additional equip-
ment can be obtained and install-
ed,
In all, more than 200 highways
department snowplows and sand-
ing trucks in various parts of the
province are being equipped with
Bell mobile telephones this wint-
er.
The telephones keep the vehicles
in constant touch with their head-
quarters, thereby enabling them
to receive instructions and send
reports while on the road.
The driver of a mobile -equipped
vehicle can place calls to and re-
ceive them from any other tele-
phone, whether in a vehicle or on
land, that can be reached through
normal local or long distance fac-
ilities.
Provision of the service in this
region is part of a large scale ex-
pansion of the 13e11 Company's
mobile telephone service. The en-
tire program is scheduled far
completion late in 1953 and will
provide service over a wide area
stretching from Windsor to Mon-
treal and reaching northward to
Owen Sound.
Mobile -equipped vehicles will
then have continuous service while
travelling on roads, highways and
city town streets anywhere in that
wide area.
When the service went into op-
eration here it marked complet-
ion of the first phase of the pro-
gram.
In addition to Clinton, exchang-
es being equipped to provide mo-
bile service in this first phase of
the over-all program are at Lon-
don, Bracebridge, Huntsville, Pres-
ton, Parry Sound, Omemee, Port
Hope, Hawkesbury, Cornwall, Ot-

Car Drivers To Pay
Higher Licence Fee
The Honourable George a Dou-
cett, Minister of Highways, an-
nounced today that effective with
the issue of 1953 chauffeurs' and
operators' licences an Unsatisfied
Judgement Fund fee of $1.00 will
be collected from each person to
whom is issued a licence. The in-
crease is made necessary by reas-
on of the fact that the fees col-
lected during the current year
have not been sufficient to meet
the demands for payment out of
the Fund. "During the current
year it has been necessary to se-
cure an advance from the Prov-
incial Treasurer to meet current
payments." said Mr, Doucett. The
Fund must be self sustaining and
as an increase in payments out is
anticipated for 1953 the necessity
for increasing the fee is obvious
No portion of the fees paid into
the Fund is used for administrat-
ion purposes.
In making the announcement
Mr. Doucett pointed out that
while the Highway Traffic Act
provides for the collection of a
fee not exceeding $1,00 yearly, no
fee was collected during the first
two years the Fund was in opera-
tion and since then but fifty cents
has been collected annually.
The Unsatisfied Judgement Fu-
nd was established to provide re-
lief for persons, who having suf-
fered damage which was occas-
ioned by a motor vehicle, are un-
able to recover remuneration for
the losses sustained. ` The inab-
ility to recover may be by reason
of the fact that the motorist, who
caused the damage, is unable to
pay the judgment obtained again-
st him, or because the identity of
the vehicle which caused the dam-
age cannot be established.
That the Fund is meting the
purpose for which it was intended
is evidenced by the fact that' to
date over $3,000,000 has been paid
to innocent victims of traffic ac-
cidents who would have been un-
able to collect damages from any
source had the Fund not been in
operation. Many heart rending
cases could be cited where the
breadwinner of the family having
been killed, the widow and father-
less children, through payments
received from the Fund, were
materially assisted over the try-
ing period of readjustment. Of
this total over $440,000 has been
paid in damages for death or per-
sonal injuries arising out of so-
called "hit and run" accidents,
Mr. Doucett emphasized tilat
the Fund affords protection in
many cases where a compulsory
insurance law would offer no pro-
tection, i,e, where damage result-
ed from the operation of an out -
of -province financially irrespons-
ible and uninsured motorist: or a
so-called "hit and run" driver. He
also pointed out that somewhat
similar laws have been adopted in
the following provinces and states:
British Columbia, Alberta, Mani-
tobe, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward
IsIand,. Newfoundland, North Da-
lhota, New Jersey, (effective 1955).
In none of these jurisdietions
does the legislation offer all of
-the benefits provided under the
Ontario law. Some do not pro-
vide for recovery in "bit and run"
accidents, Others provide for pay-
ments of judgements for personal
injury only or set a minimum for
property damage.
