WONDERLAND At the end of the week we managed to work in one of those hurried holidays Where one attempts to do as much„in three days as would normally take two weeks.' It isn't a good idea, but like most folks, we do the best we can in time we have, Though seven hundred miles of driving in that short space doesn't allow nearly enough time to properly enjoy the beauties of the trip, it does fill one's mind with the magnificent panorama which even one small corner of our province can provide, 'We have often contended that people in this part of Ontario .are too prone to run to the States, or out West or to some other remote place, in ignorance of the com- plete enjoyment which is comparatively close by. , Our own travels took us first to Fenelon' Falls, Which. situated a few miles north of the town of Lindsay on the Trent Valley canal system. Though we have lived in this province for some time, we were not aware that the Trent Canal still operates six days a week and that there is a great deal of traffic throughout its length, from Georgian Bay to Lake Ontario.

Another very common annoyance in night driving is i the fellow who is travelling in a line of traffic and, because lie is not handling the lead car, fails to put his lights onto low beam for oncoming drivers' safety and convenience: i Very frequently the one exposed light of the second or; third car in such .a traffic line creates more glare than i would the two head lights of the leading car, The driver who fails to understand such an obvious truth is certainly! - too inobservant to merit holding an operator's license. It would almost appear, too, that it is time for reg-u- latums to rid the highways of those who drive on busy thoroughfares at slow speeds. It is our own opinion that lust as many accidents are caused by the slow drivers asi: the fast ones. just watch, a line of cars trying to get around the fellow who wants to bog the entire line down to 35 miles an hour.

'THE DRIVER NEEDS PROTECTION TOO Some months ago the column called attention to the need for legislation which would require vehicles stopped travelling at very low rates of speed to show some dis- tinctive warning light which would indicate to oncoming drivers that an extra hazard exists. Driving south of Harriston on Sunday evening we were made painfully aware of another such hazard for motorists, which has crept into the picture, in the form of the motorized bicycle or :mall motorcycle. rivers and man-made canals., clear across the lower part of the province.
