CUTS HEADLIGHT GLARE

Jo
Twinshield Girls Eilene and Elaine Helmke face photograph-
er's bright lights to demonstrate new windshield glass (right)
which cuts down usual bright glare (left).
A glassmaker has come up with
a new automobile windshield glass
that will take some of the sting
out of the glaring headlights of on-
coming cars.
Since "sealed beam" headlights
were developed some years back,
the average car's main lights have
been so dazzling they ar enearly
been so dazzling they are nearly
ists and often a serious danger on
the roads.
To sleet this problem at least part
may, a glass firm has produced a
rew glare -reducing safety plate
glass for windshields. It has a
slight bluish -green tint. Iron added
to the raw material mixture largely
does the trick.
The new glass has been road-
tested and has been found to cut
glare materially, whether from head-
lights or the sun. No claim is made,
however ,that the product will do
too much toward protecting a driv-
er's eyes from the direct rays of a
rising or setting sun.
* •* *
Drivers who have used the glass
say they don't particularly care any
more whether oncoming cars at
night dim their headlights or not.
They say the tinted windshield soft-
ens the glare considerably.
Regular windshield glass allows
88 per cent of available light to pass
through. The new product lowers
this figure to 82 per cent. That is
just four per cent above the mini-
mum demanded by state laws for
safety's sake.
The new glass has a second fea-
ture—it blocks about 15 per cent
of the sun's heat -producing infra-
red rays.
Not too many may realize that
doctors believe actual physical dam-
age is done to the eyes by the direct
rays of bright headlights. And ac-
cording to the Automobile Club,
such glare can cause temporary
blindness for as long as three sec-
onds.
* * *
The National Safety Council says
the high beams most drivers use on
the roads constitute a major difficul-
ty in night driving safety. "Annoy-
ance due to glare is .Frequent in
many accidents," it adds.
Connecticut found that in one
year 3.5 per cent of its highway
mishaps could be ascribed direct
to blinding headlights. Illinois re-
corded a figure of around three per
cent, and Minnesota. and New Jer-
sey of about two per cent. Most
other states lumped these accidents
with others caused by different kinds
of obstructed vision.
Educating drivers to depress their
high beams when approaching other
cars on the road is a slow business,
and police enforcement of provincial
and city laws to that effect is al-
most impossible. There are too
many violators.
The question of Sunday sport is
much to the fore again, especially
in and around the fair metropolis
of Toronto, where the natives seem
to take almost everything with a
large pinch of seriousness, and es-
peciallyr'their hockey team and their
Sabbath.
* :k *
Our personal opinion on this
highly controversial hatter is
greatly akin to that of the yokel
who had been appointed a Justice
of the Peace, and who was hearing
his first court case. About half
way through the prosecuting at-
torney's opening speech the J.P.
raised his hand. "That's enough,"
he shouted. "I don't need to hear
any more. Prosecution wins 1"
* * *
It was gently pointed out to hint
that such conduct wasn't strictly
according to Hoyle—that he must
at least listen to the other side.
"All right; go ahead if you've a
mind to," said His Honour, "but
it won't do ye a mite of good."
* * *
So the defense lawyer tare into
a most impassioned speech; and
after he had been .orating for about
five minutes, again came the cry
from the Bench to halt. "If this
don't beat aitch, folks," quoth the
Justice. "Now I'm blamed if it
isn't defense that wins. Prisoner
acquitted!"
M * *
Well, as we started to tell you,•
that is just about our position on
the matter of Sunday sports—to
be or not to be. What we think
about it so largely depends on
which side we've been hearing last
that we just cannot come to any
definite d'bcision. Old Omar Khay-
yam put it all a lot more neatly
than we can ever hope to do when
be wrote:
* * *
"Myself, when young, did eagerly
frequen t
Doctor and Saint, and heard great
argument
About it and about; but evermore
Came out by the same door where
in i welt,"
* * *
Change "Doctor" to"Sport" and
that expresses our sentiments about
the rights and wrongs of Sunday
Sports to a "T". But if you think
that our admitted utter ignorance
of the question is going to prevent
us writing about it at some further
length, you're greatly mistaken.
* * *
In the beginning, we might ex
plain that we are hardly what yon
might call a. rabid enthusiast on
the, :(natter of church attendance.
In fact outside. of Funerals and
Weddings we have been so seldom
to church in the last quarter cen-
tury or so that we have almost
forgotten whether you need a pass-
word and secret grip in order to
be admitted, although the chances
are it's The Mystic Knights of the
Sea we're thinking af.
* *
We have also a deep feeling of
sympathy for those who are stuck
in a crowded flat or in a couple
of stuffy rooms, with neither the
price or means of transportation
to reach the more wide open spaces,
and nothing to do over the long
week -end but fight with the wife
over whether to listen to Jack
Benny or Chamber Music on the
radio, or bawl out the kids for
making too much noise when you
want to have a snooze.
* * *
There is tto doubt that a lot of
such unfortunates might be much
happier in Churcn or Sunday
School—but the fact remains' that
they don't think so, and all the
Blue Laws ever written aren't
going to convince thein otherwise.
* * *
And when we think of such
people, we are convinced that some
stretching of the tight Sabbath
statutes slight be all to the good.
But, as the lady said about the
girdle, once it starts stretching, you
never know when it's going to
stop, And if you think that if,
for example, Sunday baseball is
allowed, the moving picture mag-
nates are going to be satisfied to
have their cash -registers silent—
well, you have a faith in human
nature that is greater than ours..
* * *
Right there, it seems, is the crux
of the matter. There are undoubt-
edly those whose advocacy of a
more open Sunday is absolutely
unselfish—who fight for it because
they believe they would be bring-
ing happiness to a great many
Canadians, young and old.
* *
The trouble is that these altru-
istic souls are so few in competition
with those whose motives are foot
quite so pure and unselfish—those
who believe, although they would
doubtless deny it indignantly, that
a more open Sunday would mean—
well, to put it baldly, more shekels
in the till.
* * * 1
You don't believe this is so'
Then, as we have said before, let's
put it this way. If the Government
—Federal, Provincial or - Civic ---
should propose. legislation making
the Sabbath as wide open as tit
Grand Canyon, but with the pro
viso that ALL RECEIPTS FRO1:

ITY, just how long do .you think
The Canadian National Exhibi-
tion, ever since reopening, has been
coming in for some sharp criticism
because its purely spectacular fea-
tures—such as the Olsen -Johnson
Grand Stand performance — are
played up much more strongly
than its exhibits of manufactures,
farm products and so forth.
k * *
Along the sante line, there are
many folks who think that the
Royal Winter Fair is in danger
of becoming more or less of a
background for the Horse Show
and "sassiety" stuff.. This feeling
was strengthened by what hap-
pened at the Royal just a few
weeks ago.
'rhe grand championship live-
stock sale at the Royal ;Winter
Fair—says an editorial in the Tor-
onto Globe and Mail—should be
considered, not as an isolated in-
cident, but as a vital part of the
exhibition scene. The ,auction is
normally the climax of the "Roy-
al." This week, it came near to
being an anti -climax,, so far . as
the public , was concerned: Previ-
eusly it had been held in the Coli:
scum before potential audiences 'o%='
10,000. This year it was held
a• smaller ring with room for only
about 1,000• spectators. And that:
raises the question of the . main%
reason for holding the Royal Win-
ter Fair.
* * *
In'defense of this year's decisioij, ..'
Fair officials have said that au•ction''
buyers and sellers had asked fore
a smaller ring. Whatever the merits-
of this argument, we think it over-
looks a major purpose of the Fair',,
as a public institution, Its objec--
tive should be to show the • people;
its triumphs, of, which livestock are
naturally the most spectacular ele-
ment. The Fair 'began, and has
progressed, as a place where the'
country's best could be exhibited
to an admiring audience; .the na_.,
tion's aristocrats of the barns, the
finest fruits of the land, the clever-•
est of the people's handicrafts—
varied results of man's immemorial
spirit of competition.
* * 4
Endowed with this distinction by.
the public's interest, trust and
money, the Fair has a national duty
to people everywhere who look to
it for leadership, for standards of
excellence, and for the appropriate
rewards of those who, pass the"
final tests through their skill an
perseverance Like all honors -o"
blue ribbon -gain attractiveness
through its material' value, epito-
mized in the grand parade of the
champions. This, in the spirit of
* *
it would take for all this talk about
"the poor Blue -Law -bound unfort-
unates" to die down to utter sil-
ence?
You'll have to figure out the
answer to that one yourself. Our
stop -watch only splits seconds into
tenths.
* * *
Now, changing the subject briefly,
here's a parting thought for the clay.
That great publicity genius, Conn
Smythe, undoubtedly got a million
dollars worth of free advertising
for his hockey team, and did the
grapefruit and slimming -diet trade
a heap of good, with his recent
"You're too fat for me" outburst.
But we can't help wondering what
the makers of that syrup, cereal
and all the other strength -giving
foods the Maple Leafs use so lavish-
ly, are thinking about it all.

"The couple was married at high
pooh at the Rose Hill Baptist
church. After the ceremony the
couple left for a grief wedding
trip." --from Atlanta Journal:
"My little boy is very polite," said
Brown, jovially. "Only the other
night in the bus he pointed out an
empty seat to a dear old lady and
raced her for it."

the Fair, should be the climax,
the accolade which gives thrill and
drama to the significance of com-
petition. The resultant bidding na-
turally has no relation to the
butcher shop value of the meat
It has a more human mainspring.
It symbolizes the public realiza-
tion of a triumph.
* *
The blue' ribbon function thus
becomes, or should become, the
very fruition of people's hopes and
aims. If it is to be relegated to
sideshow status, as something to
be got over quickly, what has be•
come of the ide.al of the Fair
itself? What is the final thrill to
the winner, and where is his in-
centive to come again and taste
the wine of victory? Where, far
that;, matter, is the incentive of the
buyer thus deprived of public ap-
plause? The Royal Winter Fair
directors will be well advised to
ponder these things and to keep
educational a n d entertainment
values in proper relation. F,imda-
mental purposes come first.

And now, here's something that,
might be of interest to a lot of
you poultry raisers — the brief
.story of how Charles Schaefer, out
in Lafayette County, solves two
common problems at once with.
his combination garden and chicken
yard.
By' sw'itching chickens and vege-
tables ,every year, he has clean
ground for his poultry flock, and a
fairly weed -free, well -fertilized
plot for the family garden. Here's
how he does it:
* * *
Next to the poultry house Schae-
fer laid out two equal -size plots,
and fenced them both in.
While his' chickens pasture in
rye crop or sudan grass on one
plot, the family table • garden
thrives on the other. The follow-
ing year the hens roam over last
year's garden area, and the vege-
tables grow on last year's poultry
plot.
* * *
In the fall, Schaefer spreads 4-
12-4 plant food at the rate of
about 200 lbs. per acre over both
plots, and seeds both to rye.
* * *
He plows the rye under on the
plot to be used for garden in early
spring, but lets it grow on the
other plot.
The rye adds humus to the gar-
den side and on the poultry side
it 'provides green feed and helps
keep weeds from getting a start.
In spring the Schaefers often sow
a part of the poultry lot to sudan
grass. It makes late summer pas-
ture for the hens after the rye has
matured.
* * *
The hens take such good care of
the weeds in their yard that the
garden is practically weedless the
next year.
The Schaefers plant their vege
tables in rows on the contour, both
to conserve soil moisture and pre-
vent washing.
The rows are wide enough to
cultivate with a farm tractor ands
field equipment --a real time-saver.
* * *
"We've used this system for five
years now, and we wouldn't think
of going back to having just a one -
acre garden," says Schaefer. "It's
good for the garden—and it's good
for the poultry flock, too."
Schaefer points out that great
many farms .have suitable space
for this kind o' arrangement. It's
just a matte'• I'ving it out and
, Inting in fences.
This moo • rl garden and
poultry rotation system is now
recommended to farmers by the
local college of agriculture.
So why don't you look around
the place a little? Chances are you
can do the same thing yourself.
