CONGRATULATIONS BELMORE
On Wednesday evening last the Belmore Arena and
Community hall was officially opened by F. A. Lashley,
superintendent of fairs and exhibitions for the Ontario
Department of Agriculture. It was a proud moment for all
the people of the Belmore community who have spent the
past few years dreaming- of and working for the completion
of this fine structure.
Perhaps the very finest feature of these community
centres in the smaller places, is the new incentive which
they have provided fur community co-operation, There was
a day, many years ago, when places the size of Belmore
were important centres, socially, because means of travel
was more restricted. In the interval there has been a sad
falling away in this particular regard. Young folks and
their elders alike have seemed to feel that it was necessary
to get into the nearest larger town to have any fun. 110\N--
ever, the years since the war have seen an important change
in this regard, and the arena and community centres in
this district are proof of that st.atement. It is a healthy
trend and WC hope it continues to thrive.
We can well recall the derision with which the idea of
a community arena at Behnore was greeted when the idea
was first broached before a municipal council. Few indeed
were those who could see ally merit in the plan. It is there-
fore with added pleasure that we extend our hearty con-
gratulations to those determined folks who conceived the
plan and carried it through to fruition. The finished
structure is not merely a fine building, which will serve
the community well for years to come it is the physical
cn.rolment of Behnure in aci ion. It is the proof that the
sillage is something- more than a 'flame on a map. The
NEW TYPE OF WARNING IS NEEDED
Driving with a friend during an evening snow storm
last week we had a narrow escape. The occurrence wasn't
anything unusual—but it did bring to mind the need for
some forceful legislation. Visibility being poor we all but
cracked into a tractor which had come to a halt at the side
of the road. No doubt you have experienced similar near-
misses many times.
The very fact that such hazards are so common leads
one to dismiss them without further thought. However,
their frequency is sure indication that some remedy should
Le found for the ever-present danger which arises from a
It would almost appear obvious that some sort of
warning signal should be displayed by a vehicle which is
travelling very slowly or is stopped on a busy road. A red
intermittent flasher on the rear of the vehicle would fulfill
the purpose. If such a distinctive light were shown it would.
not be long before all motorists would recognize it im-
mediately as a sign of bl1111litellt danger and react accord-
ingly.
Furthermore, it is high time that the need for such
safety features should he realized by authorities and legis-
lation enacted to see that all new cars are so equipped when
they leave the factory and that all present models are re-
quired to carry these devices. The law demands that brakes
and headlights meet certain standards in the interest of
public safety. Why not go whole-hog and make a complete
job of the thing?
SNOW REMOVAL HAPHAZARD
Most car drivers and many pedestrians are looking
forward to the day when some bright soul will invent a
device for removing snow banks in a hurry. Perhaps mem-
bers of . municipal councils would head the list of those who
have this thought in mind. The conscientious councillor
has developed a deep rettlsion for winter in general and
snow in particular (luring recent. years.
'The increase in winter motor traffic and the demands of
the car-driving public have posed an expensive problem for
those who look after our public business. We are all howl-
ingfor lower taxes, but at the same time we who drive cars
scream blue murder when the town or township doesn't
have the roads clear and parking spaces open thee morning
after a blizzard, preferably by six a.m.
Most of us forget that snow removal is so expensive
that the difference between a light winter and a heavy one
is the controlling factor in whether or not a rural muni-
cipality is able to balance its anual budget. All that is need-
ed is some sort of agreement with the weather matt to have
snow fan con fined to open fields and back yards ... or fail-
ing that a scientific genius who can tell us how to make
the stuff evaporate. Until we can secure some such fool-
proof fix the taxes art' likely to be up just a wee bit.
