The Wingham Advance-Times, 1960-08-24, Page 2Daring the past \\Tel:, Toronto daily papers carried reference to a remark made by an Ontario govern tnent official about a new cure for the dangerous habit of "tail-gating", Most drivers are aware of the hazard which is involved in driving too close to the rear of another moving vehicle, but apparently there are still plenty of offenders in this regard. Faced with the fact that it is very difficult to get convictions in such Offenses, the official in ques- tion is credited with the statement that the onus would be upon the person charged to prove his inno- cence. We can only hope that the man has, indeed, been misquoted. Any attempt to so deny the basic concept of our British -institution of justice deserves instant and most strenuous Opposition. Throughout the entire structure of our legal framework runs the most important of all our theories of freedom-that a man is innocent until he is proven guilty. Practically all of our laws which have to do with. personal offenses against society are governed by that underlying protec- tion. If the state, as represented by its officers of the law, charges a man with a punishable act, then the state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the charge is justified. There have been other instances in Canada where onus of proof has been shifted to the accused-and not one of them is justified in the slight- est degree, Perhaps you, as an indivdual, cannot see too much reason in get- ting all warmed up over this appar- ently slight alteration in the appli- cation of justice. However, if von happened to receive a summons stat- ing that you had been seen driving too close to the rear of a moving vehicle on the highway you mights search in vain for any method of proving that you were not guilty. By the same token, a young or overly-zealous police officer could easily stack up for himself a most impressive list of convictions, simply because those he charged would be unable to prove the charges false. Is the government official we have referred to not aware that THIS IS YOUR CHANCE On Thursday evening the first events of the annual Lions Frontier Days will he open at the town park. More will follow on Friday evening, Saturday afternoon and night. Are you all set to enjoy a good time for yourself and family and at the same time forward sonic of the worthwhile projects of the service club? Opportunities for such clubs to raise funds are becoming more limit- ed every year. The Lions are de- pending upon the co-operation and generosity of the public to permit a continuation of their work. Throughout the past years the Lions Club has raised and dispersed thousands of dollars in this district for child welfare and a hundred and one other equally worthy causes. The men who raise the money and seek oat the proper places to spend it are busy people-most of them business and professional men Who have to find the time for service club work. Frontier Days have become a sort of Wingham trade mark and annually attract a lot of visitors to town. The club has consistently kept admission prices as low as pos- sible so that entire families might en- joy the celebration, The Lions don't. expect to make any fortune out of the undertaking .. but they do hope you will pull your end of the load by turning out for the various events.

IT'S THERE IF YOU WANT IT ' John MeKibbon has put a good deal of work on the lot behind the block of bui' dings he owns and as a result has created a very fine park- ing lot for the use of shoppers. Last week he suggested to us another use for the lot-an open-air market for farmers in this locality who are in- terested in selling some of the pro- duce from their farms. It is a long time since any type of market was operated here, so it is hard to say how many farmers would be interested. If you are, we would suggest that you talk to Mr, McKibbon. TIME TO GET BACK About this stage in the holiday months many parents begin to find. indications that their youngsters are ready for the return to school. Though the young ones would deny it all with the greatest vigour, they are showing signs of the needing the occupation and discipline which only the school can provide. Apparently human beings show their own particular characteristics at an early age, for there aren't too many of us, even in the senior di- vision, who behave ourselves too well with an overabundance of free time on our hands. FARM TRACTOR AS ROAD HAZARD As has been established, many automobile accidents are caused by vehicles moving too slowly along a busy highway. Traffic piles up be- hind them, and finally some driver in the line becomes impatient and tries to pass. He doesn't always ' make it. Exhortation or regulation may have an effect in making the loiterers move more briskly - which of course is not to suggest that they ought to go to the other extreme and become speeders. There is a sensible means, depending on con- ditions. However, there is one class of vehicle that must perforce travel slowly. This is the farm tractor, which in the year 1959 was involved in 142 accidents reported in the prov- ince. In about- half the cases the tractor driver was held responsible. A majority of the accidents occurred on straight stretches of highway and in full daylight. It is not sufficient to ban from the main highways these vehicles and the frequently wide implements which they tow. The danger also exists on secondary highways and on side roads. In most cases a swiftly -1110Vilig ear overtakes a tractor and plunges into it from behind. Ade- quate rear lights at night or dusk are essential, but there is still the problem of daytime collisions to be accounted fine In the final analysis, the re- sponsibility rests with the driver of a motor car to have his car under such control that he can stow down to the pace of the tractor should he overtake one unexpectedly, and to stop completely if necessary should the tractor turn off into a farm lane or field. The Ottawa Citian. r--__ BOX 73 August 19, 1960 The Editor, The Advance-Times. Dear Sir: A recent advertisement offered Huron County's airport for sale, by tender. It would be interesting to know the reasons that led the coun- cil to this decision. I have noticed that the representatives are gener- ally free' with reasons justifying road construction involving many thousands of dollars annually, UM I have yet to read of any report indicating why this piece of public property should be sold, It is probably argued that Sky Harbour does not make any money for the County, possibly even op- erates at a loss as far as the County is concerned, and therefore the land should become available for houS- ing or industrial development. I don't know. As I said, the private citizen has little opportunity to read reports of County Council decisions, which may be due to public apathy about these matters, or just the indifferenee of elected officials, In any case, I am sure there are many people in the county who would like to know why Sky Hars boar, an unique part of this county for so many years, should be sud- denly sold. What are the facts 's' What did the county pay for the field --originally? What is the pres- ent investment of public funds in the field? What revenue has been derived from the sale and rent of buildings? There are many things that can and are publicly owned that do not depend on a dollar and cents pro- fit to justify their existence. Sure- ly, Sky Harbour could be consider- ed -in this category. It is not only a base and service centre for fly- ers, but it has always been a popu- lar place to visit: the parking lot invariably filled on Sundays. If my knowledge is correct, the County Council of some twenty-five years ago, with a great deal of Vision, or perhaps visionary opti- mism, purchased the field. We know that a few years later it be- -came an important flying school for hundreds of Commonwealth 'flyers, It is my understanding that the greatly improved field was turned back to the county at the end of the war for a fraction of its worth. If this is true, the invest- ment of public finals in thy field must be small and it sho:ekl not be sacrificed to private land develop- ers for resale at a fat profit. Sincerely, N. J, WELWOOD. which He has wrought for us. It is described in these words: "Who for the joy that was set before Him, eodured the cross, despising the shame."
