ASKS FOR COURT TEST
(Prime ,Minister Ma'ckencie King
has communicated a request to Prem-
ier William Aiberhart of Ailber'ta ,for
co-operation in testing in the courts
the newest Alberta social credit 'l'egis-
lation.
The reference of the Supreme
Court would be to determine whether
the Alberta Legisla'ture under the
constitution had power to enact the
three measures. The one requiring
bank employees to take out licenses
is designed to give the Alberta gov-
ernment through the Social Credit
Board control over banking in Al-
berta.
The eon=titution (.that is the Brit-
ish North America Act) vests control
over ,banks and banking, currency
and credit in the national IParli•ament.,
The new Alberta act stipulates that
senior bank officials in applying for
licenses submit the names of two per-
sons who with members of the Soc-
ial Credit Board would form a five -
man board with control over the pol-
icies of -;.[the licensed 'bank .officials.
OP aN LETTER TO A
BOOR ON WHEELS
((Ontario Dept, of .Highways)
Some day, my ill-mannered ,friend,
you are .going to go too far, Some
day when you swerve around a street
corner, you are going to clip the but-
tons oil' the wrong pedestrian's vest,
and he is going to catch up with you,
haul you off your sonify upholstery
and deal you the smacking -down you
deserve. You're a veritable Titan of
self-assurance, aren't you, when you-
're 'behind an eight -cylinder engine?
But how do you look on your feet?
Aire you the sante dashing, imposing,
self-assertive personage for whom the
rest of the world must make room?
Would you dare shove another ped-
estrian aside; would you jostle a six-
footer? You would not, for you're
just a grubby little inferiority com-
plex 'who's been sublimated by a shot
of gasoline.
And what's the reason for this
break -neck rush of yours, anyway?
You're (u an automobile. You'll ar-
rive at your destination 110, 'l15 or 20
titres quicker than the ,pedestrian
you're crowding back on to the curb.
The best he can do is five or qsix
L'
miles an hour. You are going 5 or
30, perhaps 4(1 miles an hour. Is your
.business ten times more urgent than
his? My, tiny,_ what an important fel-
low you arel What vast designs, what
momentous projects must occupy
your waking hours to justify such
impatience.
The automobile, it scent.;, is the
devil's gift to the Little Man. Put
hint hi control of a motor car and
he's cock o' the cross -walks. But if.
you suddenly yanked that ton or two
of iron and steel out from under 'him,
you'd ,find him just a measly nonen-
tity with the mental set-up of a public
school bully. You may say ;I'm in a
bad frame of mind. You're rightl And
['ll get aver it when fellows Bice you
begin to use a little care, caution,
courtesy and •common-sense when
you're driving on the streets and
highways of this province.

Reckless Driving!
If you drive recklessly and have not made up your mind
to stop it, you are going to find yourself in serious trouble
— soon! The Department of Highways is determined to
put reckless drivers off the road and keep them off. If you
need your car in business, stop and think for a minute what
would happen if you had your driving license cancelled.
You might lose your job. But what is your job compared to
the death, crippling, or injuring of a good citizen !
Reckless drivers are criminals going along our highways
breaking laws, maiming and killing defenseless people.
Our laws are adequate and fair. Obey them and you will
keep out of trouble; break them and take the consequences.
You cannot say you have not been
warned. Stop speeding! Stop cutting
in ! Stop passing on hills. Stop taking
chances of any kind. If you must
drive slower than the average traffic, ,
keep well to the right side of the
highway or use the side roads. Do
not block other traffic.
to put reckless drivers where they belong.
Here is what to do. 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.
