EDUCATION AND PIIELICITY WILL MAKE IIIGHWAYS SAFE No Loafing to be Allowed on Main stated Wm, ' Finldlay, of Toronto, a member'of the Executive Committee of the Good Roads Association. "We, now have no end of regulations when you hake into consideration -those of all nineprovinces. To my.mind the best method of accomplishing the end in view to by constant education. We must create a 'traffic consciousness' in the mind of all drivers, By that I mean simply the 'unremitting -use of common sense and courtesy. -If all drivers used only common, sense and ordinary courtesy, ,the 'accidents 'on our highways would at onee be re- duced to a minimum:'. At the Good Roads' Association meeting ways and means are to be discussed about inculcating a ,great- er measure' of "traffic consciousness."

Henry' -maintains that publicity and education will make the highways safer than any drastic 'legal enactments. ' His meth- ods of attaining his objective in the matter of safety have attracted con- siderable attention, and as he' is also President of the Canadian Good, Roads Association,' it is certain that various methods of` traffic control 'will be the subject of discussion when the Association holds its annual meet: ing at.

Sueh a warning James Jackson. i is the result of many complaints that Miss Mary Stewart left 'Monday notoriously slow drivers have been' for Webbwood, where she will teach holding up long lines of traffic. In for .the coming .year. turn, such slow moving traffic lines Mr. Lorne Pepper left Monday for have started the: dangerous cutting in Moose Jaw, Sask., on the Harvesters practice. Mr. Henry advises motor - excursion. ists who are merely,. out for a plea- sure drive that if. they desire to move slowly they . should • use county and township roads where the traffic' is fight. The whole idea is to avoid con- gestion on the main provincial high- ways and 'keep traffic on them .mow ing steadily and ata pace which Wi11; not tempt the "cutter in," No at- tempt is ,made' by the Minister to de- fine a loafing speed, but on Ontario's main highways anything under fif- teen miles an hour may be safely classified as loafing, • • • Another point in this. advertisement which- has attracted much attention is the advice to drivers to let cars pass them if the,. attempt is made.' In Ontario it is :illegal to race with a James c in car when overtaken..

Watson and brother Allan, IVtr. and Mrs. Alex Watson and Officials of the .Canadian . Good Roads Association agree with the On- tario Minister that all car drivers' must become "traffic conscious." That is, they must realize that the question of. the safety of the highways, .in the final analysis, is altogether in their own. hands. In Canada today there are approximately 7,000 miles of paved roads' and 48,000 miles of good gravel roads, so that it is manifestly impossible to keep a constant police, patrol' •to have every motorists checked up: "I doubt very ;ouch if wo can make the highways safe solely bythe 'en- lations t•e u -and , laws g • meat of force Colborne Township Those: who went to Niagara Fails August 19 all .reported such a good 'time that,.twenty Atwo went. on Aug. 26.
