on your horse-drawn vehicle

Horse-drawn vehicles (as well as motor vehicles) on the high-
way at night mop MUST display a light. This new law is
designed to prevent accident to occupants of horse-drawn
vehicles as well as of motor cars,
You will provide for your own safety by obeying this law.
Drivers of fast-moving vehicles have ,become accustomed to
looking for lights on ALL vehicles at night. The danger of
accident to horse-drawn vehicles without lights therefore is
greater nowthan •t
x was when. lights were not compulsory. At
this season, when nights are darker and longer,' the hazard is
increased.
The light on a horse-drawn vehicle must be placed on the left
side in a conspicuous position• It must show white to the
front and red to the rear. It must be clearly visible at a
distance of at least 200 feet. Where vehicles carry inflam-
rnable material's or are structurally unsuitable for carrying
lighted lamps the Department, by regulation, may permit the
use of a reflector instead of, a lamp.
$5.00Fine
The penalty for failure to observe this law is a fine of $5.00.` .
Motor traffic officers or city or town police will apprehend
all who fail to comply.

referred to the executive cotnanittee
Air, T. R. Patterson, the county e
gineer, ` made a verbal report regar
ing the work of his department du
ing the past year, dealing particula
ly with.the financial expenditures an
the work done' and the state of th
roads. The widening of many of th
roads and the construction of guar
fences had much unproved the safet
of the traffic. The Provincial' High
way Department was extending th
system in the county materially th`
'year and this was'co-ordinating th
work of these roads. Several appl`
cations had been made, for increasin
the Provincial Highways in the Coun
ty, notably the Blue Water Highway,
and Mr. Patterson. said he thought
these roads would eventually be ad-
opted, and the Provincial' systeni
much extended thereby.
Rej lying to a question by Mr. Mc-
Quaid, Mr. Patterson said the cost of
trucking gravel was about , 24 cents.
per yai±d. Several ` of the couricil.
took part in further discussion of the
natter, Mr, Ingles said that a very.
satisfactory arrangement had been
made for the Lakelet road ande(ehe
said he thought the last had been
heard for'some time at to this vexing
duestion.
Mr. Oswald Ginn, corn bo •ei in-
Spector, made a" verbal report of the
work performed in his department,
Mr. Ginn gave, instances df the>rav-
ages particularly in other counties
where he' had gone to observe the
process of dealing with the:pest.
Much educative work had been :done,
in distributing literature regarding
combatting the destructive' corn bor-
er. Owing to -weather conditions and
other circumstances, great difficulty
was experienced in carrying out; pre-
cautionary measures: The, worm
worked frbm within and for this rea
son spraying was not effective, Th,
borer could only' have been brought
into the county in the cob, not with
loose seed in the bag.
Moved ;by Messrs. Henderson and
MacEwan that, owing to the increas-
ed heavy traffic, the boundary road
between Morris and. Turnberry'from
Wingham to Bluevale, a distance of
about four miles, is now worn, out
and very badly in need of repairing
we would request that this work be
done as early next spring as possible,
-Carried.
At Wednesday afternoon's session
Mf. Patterson, the county agricultur-
al representative, made a verbal re-
port on the work of his department.
The first year 11 r. »Patterson was in
the office he said he addressed thirty
meetings, including about moo peo-
ple; this Year he addresser) 67. meet-
ings, including about 3000 people.
The office work was about the same
as in previous years,
As to senior work, that is work
with the adult farmer,' Mr. Patter-
son said he waited till requests for
information came to his office and it
was surprising how many inquiries
he received as to the securing 61 seed
grain, fertilizer or stock, etc. One of,
the big things";of; the year was the
putting across of the big liog fair
at McGaw. This was one of the big
fairs of the Province and 29 men re-
ceived prizes. There were a lot of
good apples raised in the county and,
there could have been a lot more.
And those who made a successe of ap-
ple growing invariably had used
spraying. Mr. 'Patterson spoke of
the results of short courses, home
garden clubs, etc. As tb the school
fairs they had had lots of success'
and lots; of adverse criticism. Fif-
teen out' of • 19 of the school.fairs.
showed match better and more numer-
ous exhibits than ever before. Some
of the fairs were in sections which
did, not include enough•schools to
make them 'successful, as -it was
found that, about ten schools were
necessary to make a good fair, ;kir..
Patterson said` the first stock jugg-
ing
it g-
ing competition had been held this
year, r9 boys taking part, and he al-
so referred to l the line trip of tee
boys to: Toronto, white it was in-
tended would be repeated another
