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.

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.

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- -auction ro-. production'; apctYoh. and rno�'e,prod_ oil, for food -and' i'nor"'e food.

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