(Note—Like the gruesome spec- tacle of a bad automobile accident itself, the realistic details of this ar- ticle—which first appeared in the Reader's; IDigest.—witl nauseate some people. Those who find themselves thus affected at the outset are cau- tioned against reading the article in its entirety, since there is no letdown in the author's outspoken treatment of sickening facts,—Pnt. Dept. Of High ways.) Publicizing the total of ,Ontario's motoring injuries—more than 10,0100 last year and over 300 'killed; and at the rate we're going we -should hit the mark this year—never gets to first base in lar.ring the motorist into a realization of the appalling risks off motoring. IHe does not translate dry statistics into a reality of 'blood and agony. Figures exclude the pain and horror of savage ifititilation—which means they leave out the point. They need to he ;brought closer to home. A pass- ing lank at e bad smash or the news that a .fellow yoti had lunch with last week is in a hospital With a 'broken beck will make any driver but a thorn fool slow down at 'least teMporarily. But what is eeeded'is a vivid and MIS^ tained realization that every 'time you step on the accelerator, death gets in beside you, hopefully waiting for his chance. That .single 'horrible accident you may have witnessed is no isolated horror, That hort of thing happens every day, everywhere in Ontario, af you really felt THAT, perhaps the paragraph in a Monday's paper re- cording that a total of nis citizens of this province were killed in week -end crashes would rate something more than a perfunctory Int -tut as you turn back to the sports page. An enterprising magistrate naw and then sentences reckless drivers to tour the accident end .of a city hospital or morgue. Bet even a iangled body on a slab, waxily portraying the con -se- quences of 'bad motoring ,juclement, isn't a patch on the scene of the ac- cident itself.

'Those are the standard, everyday sequels to the modern paesion for go- ing places in a hurry and taking. a chance or two by the way. IS ghosts could be put to a useful porpoise, ev- ery bad stretch of 'road in Ontario would greet the oncoming motorist with groans and screams and the ed- ucational spectacle of ten or a dozen orpses, all sizes, sexes and ages, ly- ing horribly :still on the bloody grass, Last year a motorcycle patrolman of my acquaintance stopped a big, red limousine for speeding. Papa was ob- viously a responsible person, obvious- ly set for a pleasant week -end with his family ---so the officer cut into :pa- pa's well-bred expostulations: "I'll let you off this time, but if you keep on this way, you won't last long. Get going—but take it easier." ,Later passing motorist hailed the highway officer and asked if -the red -car had got,a ticket. "No," said eheofificer, hated ea SOON their party." "Too,bad you -didn't," 'said the motorist, "I saw you stop them—and 'then 'I passed that car again ISO miles up the Inc. Ti still makes -me feel sick at my stomacb, The car was 'folded up like an accord- ions -the color was about 111 that was left. They were all dead but one of the kids—and he wasn't going to live to get to the hospital." Maybe it will make you sick at your stomach, too.

Taylor teetered that Mr. Hepburn's was a iquor sale policy and not liquor sontrol. 'That is a thorn in the .side of South Huron. bt Was a flagrant breach of the will of the people of -this riding and a criminal disregard of the Supreme Court and highbst court in the empire when he forced beverage rooms here, I stand ifirinly behind the operation of the Canada Temperance Act where it was upheld by the peo- ple of this province. We know of the Jenioralizie g effect of beverage rooms on the youth of our catintry. Elle electors of this riding should :end an avalanche of ,ballot, 111 mewer to his :flagrant disobedience of the will of the people," he said. Nelson Trewartha ot Clinton, a for- mer member for the tiding, withdrew his name. In doing so lie (leder ed that although Mr. Hepburn has gone ep and -down the country calling the C.1.O. a laWbreaing organization, his ‘Ywn Government is a law -breaking organization with regard to Huron County, 'Th -e .Goeernmen-t has not treated Huron fair. 4Ve all believe in democ- racy and that any :Government should respect the vote of the people. Yet the first act of the 'Hepburn Govern- ment was to forget that the . Canasta Temperance lAct was in force here by the vote of the people. it was upheld by the Supreme Court and the Privy Coentcil. and Mr. Hepburn ignores it and -then charges the C.S.10, with law- breaking," Mr. Trewartha said, as he withdrew, explaining that he had been 20 years in oullelic o6fice. J. We Morley of :Exeter, who was re-elected president of the -riding as- sociation, also with -drew, explaining that he could keep busy enough as president.
