During that time motorists are to get in readiness 10 go or prepare to stop as the case may be. A driver who has started a- cross the intersection when the sig- nal changes from "Go" to "Caugion™ will be expected to continue his jour= ney and in a hurry, Left Turns Allowed For the present it is the intention of the police to permit leit hand turns except at hours when the traffic is heavy, and for that reason signs pro- hibting left hand turns have not been erected. Police will not permit leit turning between 11.45 aan. and 12.15 pan. which is the busy noon hour period, nor will they allow it at the evening rush hour between 4.45 and 530 pam. Should it su work out that the left hand turn privilege is being abused it will be ves called and signs prohibiting the prac- tice will be erected. It has been pont- ed out that as these regulations con cerning the howrs when left hand turns are taboo will be unknown to tourists some confusion moy result. However 'it is sad in defence of the system that most tourists are passing straight through and besides few driy= ers would attempt a left turn at the busy hour. Several drivers have been noticed making a right turn with the signal against them. It seems so easy ta stip around the corner even if the sig- nal facing the direction from which one was coming did read Stop. But any whom the police catch attempting to barge through will be hailed be- fore the Magistrate. Right hand turns are permitted but only when the sigs nal along the street from which the driver is turning off reads Go, Only One Mishap Despite the newness ol the system there have heen no accidents inyvoly- ing Oshawa motorists since it was ins stalled. There was one accident, it is true, hut the motorists involved strangely enough were from Flint, Mich., and Toronto. When the mise hap occurred the signal had changed to Stop and Otto H, Rogers, of To- ronto, obeying the signal, applied his brakes. He was crashed from behind Ly John L. Llc, an American visitor from Flint, : The system can he regulated in such a manner as to allow varying lengths of time between the changing of sig- nals. And the time allowed traffic pas- smu north and south need not be the sanle as that given traffic going east and west, On Saturday might and Sunday it was so arranged that motors ists on the Kingston Highway got a- bout twice as much time as those on Simeoe street.

After that hour the green and red lights no longer function but the yellow caution signal flashes intermittently. When such is the case the ordinary rules of the road apply and the motor- ists are expected to proceed with cay- tion.

EVERYTHING READY FOR COURTNEY'S HOP Southampton, July 24--Captain F.T, Courtney, British aviator, in prepara- tion for the start of his projected flight to New York, gave the wireless and motors of+ his flying boat, the Whale, a tryout this afternoon. FEy- erything apparently was working to perfection, but Courtney made no trial flight. The weather forecasts are still ad- verse, but the aviator says he is ready to hop off the moment the Atlantic gale abates. He is even ready to risk a little bad weather if only he can get awav from his base. ABSENCE OF DRUNKENNESS It is perhaps worth noting that dur- ing the three days of the celebration of the Diamond Jubilee there was a conspicuous e of drunkenness, or of anything approaching it, in the city.

Sales reports for the first six months of 1927 show every indication of greatly increased dis- tribution, and it is quite probable that by the end of 1927 Canada's closely settled districts will show car ownership dpproaching that which obtains in the United States --which is approximately one car to each five units of population. Ontario leads all Canada in the number of automobiles owned either for pleasure or commercial purposes. At the end of the past year this province had 390,126 reg- istered motor vehicles of which 89.- 012 were trucks, 370 were auto busses, and 4,345 were motor ¢y- cles, The provincial average Is one automotive vehicle to each eight people, The cry of "saturation point' has been raised so often that very lit- tle consideration is now given to it as regards automobiles. Appar- ently there is no such point where Dominion and Provincial govern- ed by salesmanship, will pass pub- lic demand. Automotive sales in Canada owe their increases, statisticians de- clare, to the highly prosperous con- dition of the average Canadian, to aggressive advertising and sales policy on the part of motor car manufacturers, and to the policy of Dominionand Provincial gaovern- ments in the building of good roads, Nearly 6,000 miles of new good roads were constructed in Canada during 1926, involving an expendi- ture of$45,600,000. The 1827 ex- penditure for good roads will, it | Is understood, equal If fot pass the total appropriated Tor con- struction in 1926. Oshawa had 2,484 registered motor vehicles at the end if 1926, giving it tenth place amongst On- tario cities in that regard. Tor- onto leads with 75,688 registra- tions, Hamilton is second with 156,- 791, Ottawa third with 10,268; Windsor fifth with 9,237, and Lon- don sixth with 8,969. Brantford has 3,318 motor cars and trucks, Lindsay, 8,619, Kitchener, 3,317, and St. Catharines 3,147. Ontario has more than three times as many motor ' cars and trucks as Quebec whose total is 107,994. Quebec, however, leads the Dominion in motor busses 6,- 508 to Ontario's 370. Alberta has 65,690 motor vehicles; British Co- lumbia, 68,436, of which 29,684 are in Vancouver, Manitoba, 58,- 724, New Brunswick, 21,182, Nova Scotia, 26,006, Prince Edwarll Is- land, 3,458, Saskatchewan, 87,- 267, and the Yukon 142. It will be noted that Saskat- chewan, Capada's third most popu- lous province, is also third in mo- tor vehicles ownership. The per- centage of ownership is about the same as Ontario's. Car ownership in Capada for the past five years shows remarkable gains, In 1922 there were bH14,- 657 motor vehicles in the Domin- jon; in 1923, the total was 585,- 079; in 1924, registrations totalled 650,231; and ip 1925 the total ad- vanced to 728,005. The year 1926 saw the greatest increase of any year, over 110,000 cars being add- ed to the previous year's figure, making the grand total 838, 925. It is expceted that 1927 will see the million mark passed. Card of Thanks Mr. and Mrs. Wm. N.

It was a tremendous undertaking there being close to one hundred parti- cipants and it depicted the growth of Canada from the time of the Indians, showing the landing of Champlain, British occupation, the arrival of immigrants from all lands, with the Spirit of Christian ity taking her place hepide the Spirit of Canada, as the central fig ures. The pageant was prepared to be staged out-of-doors on the beautiful grounds of the Y.M.C.A.

Hodge killed in a savage fight with hare hands in his cottage near here yes- terday. The jury were taken to view the scene of the encounter, and after examining the surroundings, which showed every evidence of a furious battle, returned here and adjourned till Wednesday, July 27, in Beeton Town Hall. Just as the adjournment was made, Hodge returned from Barrie whither he had been taken hy Sergeant Prea- sey of the Provincial Force for in- vestigation purposes. Beyond scratch- es on his face and bandages round his hands, he showed little signs of the battle. He was escorted to the court- room, where he took a seat but his evidence was not taken, Finger prints of the dead man will be sent to police bureaus in an effort to establish his identity. Although 1,500 persons up to To- night had viewed the body of the dead man, none could throw any light on his identity. The owners of the ceme- tery have refused to allow burial, and the coroner has been asked for in- structions.
