Many, reports have been made to W, ( . Robertson of . the Ontario Motor League and a member of the execu- tive of the Safety Committee. Among others the work of the St, Catharines and Lincoln Motor Club may be giv- en as an xalriple, 'This club announc •ed that at certain service garages its members could have their headlights and brakes tested free of charge, and 'that a nominal charge would he made far adjustment. Within a few days more than x,000 -carr owners took ad- vantage 'of this offer. It was found that at least 90 per cent. of the lights .tested required adjustment, that is, 90 per .cent. of -tie motor cars examined .had glaring headlights:, In a great :many instances the lamps were found 'to be tilted correctly, but the bulbs were badly out of focus. It was ,pointed out to these motorists that tilting the lamps to the proper angle will not always prevent a glarnig light, The bulbs also have to be at- tended to. Of the brakes tested, the ,great majority were found to be in 'pretty fair shape." Some other clubs doing similar work are Ottawa, Essex County, Lon- don, a n Hamilton, Cobourg, , H'zm ark, Cobou a is 'Guelph On Thursday of this 'week the secretaries of all the motor clubs in the province are to meet Hon. Geo. 'S. 'Henry,' Minister of Highways, to ;go into the accident preventionques- tion more thoroughly and link up more closely with the Highway Safety Committee. It is pointed out that one of the fundamental principles of these clubs is to advocate a reason- able, regard for the rights. of others on the highways, which is embodied in the word "courtesy" in the High- way Safety Cornrn:ittee':s campaign. Last week all the big oil and gaso- lin.e companies obtained thousands of stickers with the words, "I'n'for safe- ty and :courtesy. Are you?" and, sent, thein to filling stations with .instruc- tions to paste these stickers on the lower right hand corner of wind- shields. Within a few hours after the first bundles of stickers went Taut, cars. bearing them appeared in many city streets,; Mr, J. P. Iiickeil, Registrar of Mo- tor Vehicles in the Department of Iiglrways, and a rnember of the Highway Safety Committee executive, emphasized the fact that it was not the . committee's thought to put for- ward the idea of accident prevention for 'a couple of weeks, arid then for- get all about it. "We are .going about this campaign deliberately," stated Mr. Bie1c 11, "No- thing is being rushed without care and planning beforehand, We want the public to get accident prevention consciousness arid to retain it, Al ready,reports have come to us telling of a great improvement in theimatter of headlights. We are also getting reports about reckless • driving and cutting -in. These are being investigat- ed.. During September lee drivers' li- censes were suspended for varying periods' foir infractions" of the Motor Vehicles Act, and of these 68 were for reckless driving. We want reve;:ybody to help in this :commendable work. More and more automobiles will be on our :highways as time goes on. While we hope that the number of accidents will gneatly diminish, we must recognize that the 'problem of accident prevention is likely to in- crease rather than decrease." LAW NOT BEING OBSERVED (Arnherstburg Echo) After all the publicity given to the Provincial Act which came into force for iMakin October g i' t mandatory all vehicles to be equipped with lights after dark, it is rather surprising these. nights to drive on most any roeel out i of Amherstbur•g and have to pass or! meet wagons, buggies and other ve- hicl.es being ,driven blithely on their way with absolute clisl e 'ard of not only the law, but also of common sense.Surely the drivers in these times of congestion of motor driven vehicles realize the ,risk they are tak- ing by chancing it along our promin- ent highways without some kind of warning beaeon. Besides if. an acci dent occurs now and. it ,is pled as an i excuse that the motor car didn't ser 'the unlighted vehicle, the driver of the latter becomes liable for damages. The new law wes passed to secure greater safety 00 the highways for all Concerned, One of these days vinci'al officers will make "a sheds up of conditions like these, and chose who have forfeited their right to pro- tection'will have to pay for their del- inquency.
