Ontario, Canada, in the Heart of Huron County a.► THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1955 THERE'S A DIFFERENCE "BUT HOW CAN yen get the people out?" That is a question heard much too often in. town. circles. It isjust about never heard among groups made up of farming folk.: The rural people Have lots to do—but when it conies to a matter of meeting together, they rarely miss the opportunity_ and they have an exceedingly good time. As far as we cansee the reasons are these: Good leaders are provided in the persons of the agricultural representatives. These are -trained, genial and very able young ,mein who -Work very hard at their job. The farm people, whose taxes • pay these men, appreciate` the. work they do and honour them, for it. The farmers are the first to say that the agricultural representatives work too hard. A common interest is another incentive for the really , good meetings .of the rural people. With that common interest is coupled a. chance for. participation by a large percentage, of the groups. And, last—but certainly not least in the .planning for these affairs -is the preparation for the social' end of the evening, When a rural group states :that. "lunch. will be served" it is well to go easy on supper that night. And when the announcement mentions "dancing afterward", then wear your dancing shoes, .brother, because 'there'll be good music, and everyone stays for the dancing. EXPERIMENT WORTH. TRYING . T (Globe and Mall.) 111E -DEPARTMENT of 'Highways has an- plate$ or car markers. Drivers' licenses are ordinarily private documents, and of the whole number issued each year, very. few are ever seen -by anyone but their owners. The special licenses will not be issued except from the Parl- iament Buildings. ` The point at issue in this proposal is that to drive a car on the public highway is not an inalienable right but a privilege to be won and, kept on strict merit. A person driving one of today's high-speed cars under the influence of alcohol is a menace to every' other individual on the highway. If a special Iicense'might be a moral inducement to prevent repetition of the offense, it is, unquestionably in the public int- erest. nterest. The way to avoid the penalty of dis- covery is not to commit the offense, _Nothing could 'be fairer, pounced thatspecial red licenses, marked by the word "reinstated", will be issued to .persons whose licenses have been suspended for drunk drivingor driving while abjlity is impaired by alcohol. The present intention is to issue such licenses for at least two years after the rein- statement. A longer period may be introduced, and the plan may be extended to otherof- fenses for which licenses are suspended. This proposal has been attacked by certain. lawyers, who claim it brands the holders of such licenses after they have been presumed to have paid the penalty for their offense. We cannot agree that such a principle is involved in this case, at all. It is not as if the Govern- ment were proposing to issue special license A THESES ON TIME (Adapted from the Ridgetown Dominion) THIS IS THE WIZ for changing clocks back from Daylight .Time to .Standard Time, which at any time is i11 times as has been .shown time and time again in Clinton. When we change from Standard Time to 'Daylight Time, and again when we change from Daylight Time to. Standard Time there is always a time of confusion but there could be even more confusion if different towns around change times at different times. However, by reading this clear exposition -on time you will make no mistake this. time and will change times at the right time. The right time to, change time is just be- fore you go to bed Saturday ,night, September 24. That is a better time than- Sunday morn- ing because you might forget in the morning and get to church an hour ahead of time which would give you a bad time of it for a short time. Some talk of a by-law stating the thne to HELP "SAFETY 1FIEN are developing a new thought," says the Kitchener -Waterloo Record in an editorial on safe driving. "To save your life, you not only must im- prove your own driving methods, sharpen your own Skill, increase your own caution and con- sideration. You must find some way to spread 'these plus factors of highway living to other drivers. "How can this be done? "Good manners and good sportsmanship stften will breed similar attitudes in other drivers. Sometimes when a. driver has gotten hinoself in an, exposed position oat of the traffic line, slow down and let him get back into line instead of stubberl y'keeping your nose peril- •ously close`to the bumper of the man ahead and shut him out, "Another time he may think' twice before :getting himself' into a dangerous spot, or he may do a similar 'favor for another chance - taker." change as some time Sunday night but other. towns close by are changing time Saturday night which would put local clergymen in the' awkward position of having to take service here at eleven o'clock our time which is the same time as he should be taking service at his other church at ten o'clock their time, and at the same thne the .same confusion of time would face any clergymen who should have to supply a church here and one in another town at the same time. For this and other reasons • the time to change time has been put at Saturday night right after you take your bath and put, out the cat. This is one o£ the times when it doesn't matter what time we change time as long as we all choose the same time.' Which is what we have always- thought about changing time. ` IT .
