IN AUTO ACCIDENTS IN 1931 There are many persons who at­ tribute- the great majority of acci­ dents on the streets and highways to carelessness on the part of a few reckless drivers, or to inexperience. These would receive a shocik if they were, to glance over the official sum­ mary of last year’s accidents as com­ piled by Motor Vehicles Branch of the Ontario Department -of High­ ways. . ” No one believes there are thirteen thousand reckless drivers in Ontar­ io, yet as many as this were con­ cerned in death or injury to 9,06-5 persons in 1931. More than three- fourths pf the drivers involved were . experienced, that is they had been driving motor vehicles for a yeqr or more. A close analysis of accident in- * formation-for last year dfscloses mapy violations by drivers, but, the oi^standing feature of the whole bwful -business is downright care-, lessjjess.

The other day we were talking to Donald .McRae, veteran suitmakex of the St'one Town and some way or other the conversation centred about bicycles and after It had progressed a while Mr. IM-cRae let us in op a secret, on the fact that the bicycle he rides about the streets of the town each day, is undoubted­ ly the oldest pedal cycle in regular use in the district. Mr. McRae says -he pruchased the machine, a Colum­ bia, from the late’ Robert Didk^km While he was clerk in A. Beattie & Co.’s store, thirty-six years ago and he has ridden it ever since. To show how economical bicycle transportation has been in the case of Mr. McRae let it be said that this machine, although the tires are the only parts that, have been renewed .since the- day of purchase, it is in as Ifeood a running* condition as it orig- ■dTinally was7 when Donald planked down the sum of $107 for it. We’d like to see the automobile that holds a record of performance like this. This old bicycle has been ridden practically every day in the sum­ mer time since it was bought many occasions ' Donald has it long distances, to London, ich, Grand Bend and even to to. His son, Calvin. Mc'Rae, a well- known local amateur bicycle rider and racer of the past, rode this ma­ chine in a great many events and it was this old bicycle that .the latter rode in the famous Dunlop Toronto to Windsor bicycle marathon some thirty-five years ago.

That’s quite simple. They mean, “We don’t know a thing about it.’’ ***♦■*♦** \ 6 and on ridden Goder- Toron- TO CHECK UP ON; POLICE << ... Collingwood Enterprise-Bulletin Police about the province haVe been making a practice of guessing at the speed of passing cars and here and there getting aiway with -convic­ tions. The Motor League has de­ cided to step in and secure a decis­ ion as to the value of such evidenee. /This is as it should be. No officer is more qualified to measure speed by the eye than the ordinary lay­ men, hence -the unfairness of taking his unsupported word, which after all is a mere guess. Before convic­ tion are registered there hsould be definite indisputable information. That is all motorists expect and all they demand. Municipalities must hkve order but it cannot be given simply on the say so, of a uniform­ ed citizen. r FROM WHAT PART? We note with deep interest an advertisement that rea-ds: “25 per cent, off all ladies’, men’s and children’s bathing suits.” And that in spite of frequent warnings! Oh, dear me! What is the present generation coming to? We were pretty sure that the 25 per cent, was all that was in sight this year. - ***** *** RESULTS—NOT HOT AIR And now comes word that England’s revenue for the week end­ ing July 2-3rd is 15 million pounds.

Just when Russia wanted wheat most, her new methods of farming are failing her. It seems that no busi­ ness prospers when it is not given attention by the people who should reap the profit. , The man who carries the swill should have the largest Share of the bacon; the man who plows the fields and harvests the grain- should gather in the major share of the profits from' his labor. I ■** * * * THE RIGHT SORT We have just heard of a school boy who has earned a brand ne suit of clothes and some money for his next term’s books. All this during holidays. We had a look at him and we con­ fess we liked his appearance. His muscles are as hard a iron. His eye is -cleaT. His appetite is the very best. He- has learned a good deal about machinery, about birds and cows and an odd score of other things. He has been in Sabbath School every Sunday. He has won the respect of a dozen people who never will forget him. ,He has learned to get on'with on with a hard job without sulking. In fact he has gone a long distance towards being able to ma|ke his own living. He has done his full’ share in learning how to win the confidence of folk whose good opinion is worth the having. We’d like to meet this young chap forty years from now. He’ll still be keeping step with prosperity. *****♦ ♦ * PI AUG. 26 to SEPT. 10 An Inspiring Example of Uninterrupted Progress INDUSTRY EDUCATION PAGEANTRY SCIENCE RECREATION MUSIC FASHIONS TRAVEL SPORT ART ENGINEERING AUTOMOTIVE CONSTRUCTION AGRICULTURE "The Triumph Romantic Pageant of Empire Ascendancy, Heroism, Chivalry and Sacrifice of Great Peoples — 1500 Performers on 1000-foot stage.

JUST THINK A MINUTE We arg well aware that our present financial condition is per­ plexing and difficult. We are aware,' too, of the heroic struggle that thousands of brave men and women are majking to keep their heads, financially, above water. But making all allowances for every troublesome and apparently baffling circumstances that now confronts the world, we still believe that we are not facing condi­ tions that are altogether new or strange, or unparaleled for ar­ duousness. ' Men still living recall the days when dressed hogs sold for $2.25 per cwt.« Others relate the difficulties of securing credit and tell of the easy way in which the strong were allowed, legally, to oppress the weak. The scanty fare on which the folk of this prov­ ince fared for years on end is a matter of re-cord. The problems of those days were not one whit less intricate, all things considered, than are the questions of this day. Nor did a raven come with food or advice to the Elijah’s of thbse far off times, times that are not so far off, however that they are not remembered. Happy chance and “picking up of the times” did not bring in a better day. Everybody did not survive the stress of those stormy circumstances. The lazy died find Were buried as failures. Those who refused to practice .self denial sank to be seen no more. Those who refused to adapt themselves to their circumstances passed out of the fight and are forgotten. Bad business methods brought misery. On the other hand those who put their brains in steep, who put their faith in God and their own efforts and who set themselves for a long pull and hard pull won out. Few, very few, made targe fortunes, but those who worked and toiled terribly saved the day for themselves and for the community in whidlr they lived. All this is a matter of history, Anyone who digs for the information win - find that evefy word we are saying is strictly true, The facts bear us out. The big difficulty of the present day is two fold. First folk are depending oh the government or some Such outside body to do fdr them What they may do for themselves. Others are looking . for Providence to sacrifice their manhood by working some sort of z financial miracle. Buch thoughtless watchers may as well be told that they look in vaip. The second part of the difficulty is the foolish effort to feed a 1929 stomach add to gratify 1929 tastes on a 1932 income. / NEW GOODS NEW IDEAS NEW METHODS NEW MARKETS ...... ..... ......
