Before any owner of a motor vehicle can se- cure a 4921 license Ire will be obliged to answer on the 'appiteation form whether or not his vehicle is equipp- ed with an approved son -glaring headlight device, and if so he must give the name of the device he is using. By this method the Motor Veh- icles Department at the Parliament Buildings will have a record of every car owner in this . Province who has equipped his car for glare elimination. Since a great deal of investigation and publicity has been given to non- glare lenses by the Highways De- partment this year, R os »aost un- likely that many motorists in On- tario wilt wish to admit to the Government that they have not an approved device on their ear when applying for next year's license. The effect of the new law will be virtually to prevent head on motor car collisions in this Province in the future. * a.

Other speakers included City Librar- ian Caswell, Rev. 1', W, Neal and Mr. Holmes, Rev, Mr. Robinson advanced a suggestion that as the Huron Old Boys Association had reached considerable strength both numerically and financial ly, they should do something to perpet- uate the organization by improving con- ditions in their old county.

Ontario Legislation 192o Notes on Legislation Contidered and Enacted during the Session of 1920 Continued from Last Week) A useful provision is that which gsables a town or village to enter into a agreement with a county for the improvement of streets which form links in the county system. Power is taken to remove trees and other obstructions to the view or which cause the drifting or accumulation of snow, these mea- sures being found by experience to be necessary to secure the safety of traffic as well as to prevent injury to the roadway. The percentage of contribution by the Province towards road work has been considerably increased. Matters arising between cities and towns and the county in relation to the construction and im- provetnent of suburban roads are dealt with, Provision is made for grants in aid of township road improvement' and a fund of $2,000,000 is set apart for the purpose of making loans to townships for road improvements. The Provincial highway Act received some attention. The a. mount of contribution by cities to provincial suburban roads is reduced from thirty per cent. to twenty'per cent., the difference tieing assum- ed by the Province, lower is taken by the Department for the re -afforestation of lands on provincial highways and for the planting of trees on highways. In Municipalities which cannot avail themselves of the provisions of The highway improvement Act and in which are what are known ..:I as colonization roads, grants are provided to cover twenty-five per • cent. df the cost of work or machinery or materials for road making, alld a further grant may be Made towards the payment of a suitable road superintendent. ft anthestrIanesfleriltl lhaafdP1,0i a4t\irn , lI1li o. f arThtheCoDleoltaialiraetnl tiogdlsaAncts .. tune on 4,0e0 B t t d THE' VERDICT Your Jury empanelled to enquire into the cause of the death of Mac late Onslow Crich, find from the evidence given: — Meart failure was primary cause, coal gas poisoning the secondary eause, The above was the written verdict brought in by the Jury Tuesday ager - noon composed of James Ford, A.

The first marriage solemnized in Canada was the marriage of Etienne Couillard and Anne Hebert, at Que- bec City in 1617, nine years after the founding of the city by Champlain. Nearly all the forest lands in Nova Scotia are in private ownership. It is highly desirable, says the Com- mission of Conservation, that an edu- cative campaign be carried on, urg- ing forest fire prevention. Ontario employs about one thousand fire rangers, They are directed by 35 district chiefs,- assisted by 40 deputy chiefs. During the last fiscal year there were pent by the Federal Government on the harbors and rivers of Ontario, the sunt of $S51,472, of which the sum of $244,017 was spent on dred- ging, red- ging, Last year the Federal Government spent on the harbors and rivers of British Columbia the sum of $603,- 314, of which $152,342 were spent on dredging.

In making !special reference to those who are !teaching in rural schools, Prof. Rey- nolds says: • "The teacher who hopes to take a right place in the life of the country school district , must culti- vate the seeing eye and the' coder standing heart for persons and things rural. The usual , popular, melodramatic, comic supplement, -messing picture coneeptlon of the farmer and of country people must be forgotten. tit is essentially and. perniciously false. The farmer is something of :a humorist, and lakes delight in deceiving the simple- minded by a somewhat unfinished exterior. The city -bred person makes the fatal mistake of judging by outside appearances, Tothe city trained eye there are two classes, one wearing overalls and. the other wearing white collars, The former class work with their hands, The latter class work with their brains, That is the superficial judgment, which ignores the fact Mr. Alex. McIntyre, of Winghani, that there is a very great deal of spent the week end in town. clear, hard thinking done to -day by Rev. Fr. Hogan was at Lucknow, the Wren wearing overalls . At any rate, the farmer belongs to boas on Tuesday attending the funeral of Classes. The more he understands' iris nephew, a son of Mr. Wm, FIolon, of those discoveries, which it is the aged 2 years, The interment was made' business of the agricultural col - at the Kingsbridge Cemetery. lege to make, the more he absorbs Mr. and Mrs. James Crich and the teaching which it is the busi- ness of the college to spread abroad, the better the farmer will he. be." One of the most. potent reasons for the rise , of the United Farmers`. party, not only in Ontario, but else- where througout the provinces of Canada, has been the steadily grenv- ing conviction that the view -point ' of the farmer has not been rightly understood and appreciated. 'There ought not to be cause for any such feeling. There should be the most mutual and sympathetic under- standing of the Inter -dependent re-. lationships . that exist between; country and city. The rural life of Canada, front the earliest • days of the pioneers, has been one of the grandest assets of the country. The, high degree of intelligence, the; splendid moral character, the nobly type of citizenship, the supreme re,- gard for law and order, the mod - teflon of schools and churches, the - wholesonme- type of hone life .frons which have come ,'Multitudes of na- tional ational leaders and' ,en of affairs distinguished throughout the coun- try, have cotnbined to exalt the ste- t tus of rural life, and make it one of the noblest, sanest, and most k stable elements in the politics of the country. No greater calamity could come meet on to Canada than for the people of the rural sections to feel that they are obliged to divorce themselves front the common national sent= officers rent of Canada, which has hither- to been so consolidated, in order IG look after their own interests. The national •policy foe Canada, if class consciousness and class antagon- isms are not to be engendered, must; be one which recognizes that the interests of the Canadian people are one, and that there can be no con- flict between the inhabitants of the vast agricultural areas of the court" try, and the dwellers 11; the towns, and cities, x a daughter, of Cochrane, Mr, Gifford Crich, of London and Mr. Victor 'Crich, of Gore Bay, were here at- tending the funeral of their father, the late Onslow Crich, Mr. R, 13.
