ENJOYING LIFE It is good to save some plunder save a part of all we earn, so that when we're old as thunder we may have some coin to burn. Oh, it makes a man disgusted when his age is eighty-nine, and he finds himself so busted that he cannot buy a shine. But to save like some blame miser I consider vain and wrong; blowing in some coin is wiser for a man is dead. so long. This old world's a thing of beauty, but it soon will pass away, so when we have done our duty we should go away and ,play. When we've ' earned our ,dally wages we ^ ' 4' should be for pleasure strong; 'fol - the prophets and the sages say the dead are dead so long.Let's .be happy while we're living happy in no selfish way, but a friendly hand out giving to the more unlucky jay; Iet's do something for the heathen, make their lives one grand sweet song, and be happy while we're breathin', for we'll all be dead so long. Let's sup- port all worthy causes help when ills demand a cure, and be smiling Santa Clauses, when we go among the poor, let us merrily skedaddle with the transient human throng: Death is ever in the saddle, and we'll all be dead so long.

MOTORISTS Consideration . for the . convenience and Safety of Others, Forms the Basis of all Reasonable Use of the Public Highways Drive carefully at street intersec- tions, particularly when entering a main thoroughfare. The great major- ity of accidents happen at street in- tersections. At street intersections, a motor car approaching from your right- hand, side has the right-of-way. Reckless driving is always illegal, no matter what speed. The majority of fast drivers have nothing to do when they get there, They are a menace to themselves, to those whom they pass, and a nui- sance to the people who reside along the road. When you meet a vehicle, pass on the right; when you overtake one, pass on the left. Do not "cut in." When you over- take a vehicle, and another is ap- proaching, custom and safety give the right-of-way to the approaching vehicle. Do not change speed or direction suddenly. Indicate your intention by holding your hand up if you wish to stop, and to the side if you are going to turn. There is usually a car behind you. Do not drive with glaring head- lights. Pedestrians who have started to cross a street at reasonable distance from an approaching motor car have the right to do so at the pace of an ordinary walk, and the motorist has no right to compel the pedestrian to rush or run for safety by the insol- ent blowing of the horn. SLACKEN speed when approach- ing pedestrians, blow the horn if thought necessary to warn them, but permit them to cross the street in safety at a reasonable pace. Re- member there are old people, inval- ids and children. The foregoing rules for motorists do not excuse pedestrians who fail to Look before stepping from the curb or attempting to cross the street, or who inconsiderately or unnecessarily stroll or stand still in front of a car, compelling the motorist to jam the brakes and shift gears. The pedes- trian should look and have consid- eration for the convenience of the approaching motorist, as well as for his own safety. When on a street of small houses and large families, and the family principally in the street, especially after school hours—Drive Slowly. A child is not responsible under the law. You are. Young and inexperienced drivers frequently drive with the muffler open. Unnecessary noise is illegal and objectionable. If you drive for "hire, pay or gain," it is illegal to do so without passing the prescribed examination and obtaining a Provincial license. It is illegal to employ a chauffeur who has not a drivers license, and who is not registered for the year. See that every driven in your employ wears the badge. Do your hest in making Ontario noted for good and Careful driving.
