Authorized as Second Class Mail, Post Office Department HIGHWAY TRAFFIC ACT AMENDMENTS The Ontario Government has taken very commendable action to provide practical 'benefits for the public at large, through its proposed amenda ments to the Highway Traffic Act, The propOsed legislation is patterned on the Manitoba Safety Responsibility Law', and is, in effect, insurance for all at a minimum of cost, It is proposed to: (1)Set'up an "Unsatisfied Judgment FUnd" for the benefit of hit-and-run and other accident victims who can- not collect: from culpable drivers, the fund to be made up by a levy of not more than one dollar on each licen- sed driver in the Province, (2) Allow for the suspension of the driver's and owner's license of a mot- orist involved in an accident until he has proved financial responsibility and, if necessary, has repaid claims against the Unsatisfied Judgment Fund, and (3) broaden the terms under which drivers' and owners' licenses may be suspended on conviction, Like .the Manitoba. Act it provides for the impounding of motor vehicles and cancellation of drivers' licenses, but only after the driver has been proved liable by the courts, In Maui- toba there is automatic seizure by the authorities .of an uninsured automobile after a major accident. In Ontario no one in a Government bureau has the arbitrary power to determine guilt. The proposed maximum one dollar levy for each driver is mandatory, but this provides the insured with as much protection as "the other fellow", in case he may some day be the victim himself of an uninsured and financially irresponsible driver. The car owner does not have to take out liability in- surance; but if he has an accident and is not covered the consequences may be very serious, The car owned still has personal choice as to insurance company. The effect of this official suasion is that a few drivers will risk going with- out proper coverage, It promises much in developing a greater sense of res- ponsibility among Ontario motorists, as well as serving to remove many un- desirable cars and drivers from the highways. * * * MOUNT HELICA ERUPTION • The 4,764-foot volcano, Mount Hek- la, in Iceland, erupted on Saturday, March 30th,, for the first time since 1845, Dense clouds of ashes and fumes, reaching a height of six or sev- en miles, poured out of the blazing crater blacking out a wide area to the south. The peak was ablaze and thousands of tons of glowing rocks, and lava were tossed high in the air, ''Farms and grazing lands in the vie- ieity are rapidly becoming covered with ashes and preparations were CZ,Mi- pleted to evacuate residents if such a move should become necessary, Drink- ing water has become polluted with lava and ashes which have fallen hi the open streams from which many farm families get their water suPplies. Geogolists expect the eruption to continue for several mouths, Previous eruptions usually have lasted at least that long, at .one time the volcano was. active for two years. Dust and ashes have already fallen, 1,250 miles away in Europe discoloring the snow in some places. Airplane companies did a good business ferrying sightseers from Re- kyjavik, 80 miles west of the volcano. The Highways also were jammed with sightseers eager to see the spectular display, * NEWFOUNDLAND WELCOME External Affairs. Minister St, Laur- ent announced' to the Commons recent- ly that Newfoundland is sending a del- egation to Ottawa in June to discuss the possibilities of entering Confeder- ation, He added significantly "the del- egation will, I feel sure, be warmly welcomed." He also said, "the gov- ernment is confident the relationship of friendship and co-operatio will pro- vide a firm basis of discussion." The talks at this explanatory ,con- ference may bring k the • question of Newfoundland becoming a tenth Can- adian province at least into the realm of official negotiation, Newfoundland opinion is far from unanimous in favor o federation, but, it is their desire to join the Confederation, Canada is will- ing and ready to welcome the union. Provision for such a union was made by the Fathers of. Confederation and is incorporated in the British North America Act as it stands today. The June conference should ascertain what fair and equitable basis exists for fed- eral union of Canada and Newfound- land. DECONTROL .HIGHLIGHTS Approximately one-third of control- led goods and services were lifted from wider price ceilings on 'Wednesday, April and, Finance Minister Abbott's announcement of, the government's lat- est measue of decontrol came on All Fool's Day, but it was no April Fool Day prank. Just what this sudden sweeping removal of price ceilings from. thousands of items will mean to the buying public is uncertain yet, but, of the results of similar removal of price restrictions in the United States is any criterion, it probably will mean an increase in the price of many artic- les and services. Rising prices always bring labour troubles and strikes for higher wages with attendant disruption of produltion, and shrinkage in the buying power of fixed iniomes and savings, The list of items released from price control ceilings includes• coal, coke, charcoal ;taid wood fuels, but in the case of coal and coke the order will not be effective until April 15. Woollen clothing of all kinds is removed from control, but dresses, underwear, stock- ings, other items of clothing and Controls are retained on rent and many of the basic necessities of life in food, elothing and shelter where an, certainties still are sufficient to re- quire the retention of price ceilings, IA .4, 10 WEEKLY THOUGHT Life is pretty ranch what you make it, If you look for good things that is what you will find; and, if you look for evil, ugly things, your warped mind will use its vemon to discolor and distort the things you think you see. a. * * KNOW WINGHAM Spring is here and Dan Cupid will anon, be using •his bow and arrows to captarg unwary lovers in that favdrite trysting place of many generations of lovesick Wingliamites, "Lovers Lane", down by the picturesque Lower Dam, tte iltfttilYttirtiftiftsiftktiltk+ ft' 1`;'' * • iv 41/ 4k‘ 4, tit *1.! + TROOP * it NOTES.. iffiltteilinv+ttitiftit*** itt . Tuesday, April 1 The regular meeting of the 1st. Wingham Scout Troop was opened by the Scout Master using the usual Scout ceremonies, 'With the weather back to almost normal 'the complete troop was present with the exception of one Scout. .The total attendance being 24. The S.M .followed up, the opening with his usual helpful and instructive talk. Scout business was also dealt with at this time, and again the S.M. stressed the point of having a com- pletely uniformed group. Patrol corners were held for twenty minutes and the Patrol Leaders in-. structed on tenderfoot work. Two boys have passed their tenderfoot tests and it is hoped all the others -will do like- wiie very soon. Whien the S.M. had to leave 'due to unpreventable circumstances, Mr, Wm, Gordon took over -as recreation instru- ctor and very ably fulfilled his duties. The Fox and Eagle Patrols com- bined defeated the Wolf-Beaver com- bines in the first item on the recreat- ion program which was a relay race. The race was known as over and und- er and the idea was to pass the ball from one fellow to the next, alternate- ly putting it. over the head and be- tween the legs., After passing the ball the players lie on the floor and the player 'at the rear jumps over each man on his way to the front of the The rough and tumble "British Bull- dog," came next and at the conclusion almost everyone had out their hand- kerchiefs wiping off the perspiration. Art Simmons appears to be toughie in this game as he has been the list Scout caught in two successive nights of play. Keep it up, Art! Next, the old favourite returned, floor hockey. To start off the Wolf Patrol met the Fox Patrol with the Foxes proving themselves "champs." when Jim French scored the only goal of the game. The line-ups were—Wolves: Ray-mond ,. Merkley, John Hanna, Gerald Gerry, Bob Bushfield, Glen Bennett, and Ron Murray. Foxes :--Williard Platt,• John Crawford, George Porter, Barney McIntyre, Jim French and Bob Sirmanten, The Beavers 'then clashed with the Eagles and at the end of the game time the score was tied 1.1, Laverne ,Newman was the scoring man for the Beavers while Jack Hobden counted for the Eagles, After playing nearly two minutes overtime the Eagles be- came winers when Raymond Merkley scored, (Raymond played for the Eagles as they were one man short. The lineups---tagles: Bill Bain, Stewart Nfintno, Murray Stainton, Lo- well Maebougal, Jack llohden and Raymond ilviericley. Ileavers!—Vloyd Jenkins, Jim Currie, Jhu kan, Art Simmons, Bob Deyell and Laverne Newman, The two winning teams—Eagles and Poxes, played off and the Vexes be., Caine the undisputed champions by de. feating the Eagles with a score of Bob Sinnatnon pushed in the winning household equipment made chiefly of cotton or rayon are kept under ceiling prices. • Footwear of all, kinds is removed from ceilina;s, brit leather and hides will stay under control.
