Weed is no exception, Ragweed

must share some of the blame.
However, ragweed being definite-

The Provincial Weed Control Act
is the authority under which actiou
may be taken Hitherto this au-
thority has viewed noxious weeds
chiefly from the viewpoint of agri-
culture; but the destruction of
disease -producing plants also is of
first-rate importance, As Dr, rAa-
derson points out, the Act places
upon municipalities responsibility
for the destruction of weeds; there-
fore It is upon the municipalities
that pressure should be exerted by
those who desire to rid the country
of a menace to health
The difficulty In dealing with rag-
weed lies in the fact that it has no
effect on the majority of people. As
another correspondent says, there
are rocf gardens in the city "where
ragweed is tender and grown unbe-
known to .the owner because of ate
.beauty of the foliage." Unconscious-
ly, these citizens are ensuring the
misery of others subject to hay
fever. So that both authorities
anis individuals are to blame for al-
lowing—in fact encouraging—this
dangerous weed to flourish. The
menace can be contorlled only by
co-operation of officials and citizens.
There should be definite intsruction
on the appearance and danger of
the ragweed, and an organized ef-
fort to banish it, This can be
done, and, because of the Suffering
the weed can create, it should be
done,

HIS GHASTLY TRAGEDY
COULD NAPE BEEN AVOIDED!
-1
If it hadn't been for a foolhardy, reckless, criminal driver this accident
would have been avoided. As it is, one victim was taken direct to an
undertaker's parlours and two to a hospital. The driver who caused it
is hopelessly crippled for the rest of his life.
YOU'LL BE IN TROUBLE IF YOU DISREGARD THE LAWS
If you are a reckless driver travelling the Ontario highways, cutting in,
passing on curves and hills, endangering the lives of others, you will find
yourself in serious trouble. The appalling death toll must stop—and you
who are responsible for it will be put off the road ! A thousand eyes
are watching you ; so be forewarned !
Ontario Motorists Will Co-operate
When you see a motorist driving in a manner dangerous to the
public, take his number, make a careful note of the actual time
and place, and when you reach your destination write to the
Motor Vehicles Branch, Department of Highways, Toronto,
giving full details. We do not invite reports of minor
infringements of the traffic laws; you are requested to
use sound judgment. We will deal adequately with offenders.
