Ther- Are Too Many Of 1'hemt o.
Reeeutly while , residing over .•a
case Ju;s'tice Cheerier, said that in
this case it was clear that the motors,._
first' was " blinded by approaching
g
lights when he crashed into a road
`•• transport, and that a..motorist who
refuses' to dim his headlights is a
criminal.
If that is true, and we have no rea-
4on to oubt it, there are far too
many criminals using our roads and
highways today. In.fact, one of the • .
greatest menaces to life and limb is
the motorist who refuses to dim his
lights when meeting a car .on the
Highway at night.
All , cars are equipped with dim-
^- mers,'and it takes no effort, and only,
a second of time to use.: them, but at.
least :fifty per • cent. of, car drivers
refuse to do it. The truck and, trans-
port driver=s- are even more guilty.
Bedause no motorist can afford to
dispute the right-of-way with them,
particularly, at night, they leave
their lights blazing, regardless of the
traffic they meet.
With gas restrictions off and tires'
available, the number of cars is in-
creasing on our highways every day
and eyry night. So are the number
and severity of the accidents, and it
is safe to say that a great many, if
• not a majority of these accidents, are
traceable either directly or indirect-
ly to blazing headlights..
It is .a condition that the county
and provincial'police should give a
large part of their time to remedy
ing. Heretofore, no one 'seems, to
have paid 'much or any attention: to -
the . existence of this ever . 'present
danger, but it iso' looming too large
now to be any longer, neglected.
GettingClothes
Canadian women, .,they tell us, are
up against an appalling clothing sit-
uation. ;They can't get' nylons.. Or,.
at least, the dozen or 'so, pairs they
actually'. need.
But serious as the situation is
here, we think it would' be relieved
somewhat if -our Canadian women
- - would--sperrd a brief tiirie' considering
the clothing problems of 'their; Old
Country sisters, cousins and aunts.

SEAFOR.TIT, Friday, April 5, 1946.
The New Liquor Law
The new liquor legislation an--
nounced.in the Legislature last week
by the Attorney -General has set at
rest the uncountable number of sur-
mises, sure tips and guesses that
have been floating in the air for the
past -few months. '
Sa far as Huron is. concerned, it
will have no effect, as this county is
now under the jurisdiction of . the
Canada Temperance Act, and will re-
main there until such dyne as'its citi-
zens decide to votethemselves out
from under. That, however, is some-
thing for the future to -decide. - -
Over the rest of the Province, the
new Act_ pleased many, ,displeased
more, and satisfied none. The pleas-
ed ones, will be- a few large cities
which will be given every facility for
the purchase and consumption of
sliquors of all kinds that their 'citi-
zens could reasonably ask for or ex-
pect. And this, too, without being
required ' to submit to - a vote on the
question.
The displeased ones are the pro-
hobitionists over the Province, and
the snoderationists in the. --smaller
.cities and. larger towns, neither- of
which will get what they demanied,
expected,.or what they felt they were
entitled to; And the completely .dis
satisfied,•are in the country districts
where the wets feel they have been
discriminated against, and the drys
that their pleas "have been completely
turned down by the Government.
The. new Act, which has been in-
troduced however, will become : law
in the course of a few weeks, and•it,.
will be some' months, or perhaps,'
"some years, before the final ' judg-
mentis passed upon it.
What Now?
We are into- the: spring- mph of
•April with March weather. It would
seem as if the two months had made
a complete exchange. ' March was
balmy and mild,, The, fields dried out
quickly, and the farmers were on the
land unusually early. . In the south-
erT1 pat. n tyh•is_di ict, scaling i8
-.done, or practically done, and the
land• never worked better.
To the north of us, farm work,h. as___-
_.not—advanced se.' far, but much of
the land has been worked, and some
seeding has been done. '
What now? Is the balmy month
of April going tp turn round and be
as mean as March has often proven
itself to, be? • It 'hasn't snowed Yet,
nor has it rained. But April started
off with the thermometer down near" .
the freezing point, and •with winds
that really ,:chill. '
Growth, which °started in -the mid-
dle of March; has 'come' to an abrupt .
halt. Buds are . out, and buds 'don't
stand much frosts It doesn't look
like an auspicious start for a bumper
crop in 1946.

But still, there is plenty of time.
Another month from now, if the
seeding is not all finished, it will be
time enoughto worry. • And lots of
things have been known to happen in
a month. Even the weather can
change.: ' But . it is a_ little discouraging.
Even given, the best of weather, the
farmer will be up against it worse
than ever this year, and that is say-
ing something. The war is over and
the troops have been largely demob-
ilized, but still there is no such thine
s farm help available.
Even the tools to work with, when.
worn out or lacking, are not procur- •
able. Faun implements, from small
tO..-lame,;., are off tithe' market. The
labor striltes have seen to that, and
.even if material does soon • become
• mailable; it will be many months be-
' fore the supply isr ;nywhere"_.nearly:.-
equal to meet the demand. -
And all, the world is ci yin . for 'pro-

At many London stores lines of
shoppers formed long before open-"

the street where department stores
operate, attracted an especially large
line-up by hiding the first sale since
pre-war times, over six years ago.
