Any motorist driving on the highway be. tween Oshawa and Toronto, is aware of the fact that pedestrians, in most cases, walk with the traffic, usually a foot or two on the pavement, and few take the trouble to step off or even look around as the long line of automobiles goes past at 85 miles an hour, Apparently the pedestrian takes the view that the highway is is much his as the motor- ist's and, perhaps, he is right, but after sun- down the driver of a motor car, blinded by THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1928 g is thus negligent, himself, On a crowded highway, cars must main. tain a speed of about 86 miles an hour or become an added menace to property and life, A slow moving car means that others must draw out to the centre of the road and pass, and therein it constitutes itself one of the greatest dangers of the road, If the motorist, met by glaring headlights, must reduce his speed as he meets each car, in order to avoid the possibility of hitting a pedesorian in that dark patch of "no man's land," made by the glare of approaching cars, he becomes a positive menace to a dozen or more of lives behind and ahead of him, Traffic is disrupted; cars pull out of line to pass; accidents result, If the driver maintains his even speed there is always the possibility that a pedes. trian or a pair of them may be walking, gide by glide, and taking up from two to four feet of the pavement in that dark, uncertain patch of road familiar to every driver who meets the lights of an approaching car, The result is an accident, or an injury or death--and, perhaps, cars smashed in at- tempting to avoid an accident--and an ac. cident, too, totally unnecessary if the pedes. trians were meeting traffic, and seeing for themselves, just where they stood in rela- tion to approaching cars, The onus of such an accident is not al. ways, and seldom is, in fact, upon the motorist, The pedestrian, in walking with traffic, especially at night, courts death a hundred times an hour, Meet the traffic, The motorist doesn't want to kill any- body, : Walk on the left side of the road;' Face the traffic, And walk safely, Statistics show that there are 11,998 more married women in London than married men, It's a fortunate woman who knows where her husband is, p-- CANADA'S QUOTA DISCUSSED AT WASHINGTON Fellwe of Border Crossing Restrictions May Cause Washington, Nov, 23, -- Con- gressional mach 10 stop De- troit-Windsor 1 te bor der crossings was set in motion to» day, The House I tion committee, meeting to di its actalon, Qevoreh al He ke 40 Son e - sideration of nla aie cor Among those taking part was Representative Box, Democrat, of. Texas, Hox was of a ill before the last gress which would have barred both Canadians and Mexicans from crossing the border at will, He was personally interested in the measure because of his own state's feeling about Mexican immigration. The Bom bill is still in the immigration com- mittee, He has agreed to the Can- adian section being eliminated. Other members of the committee are reported to have had a change of heart since Box made the offer, and many of them now favor the inclusion of Canada under the uota law, This is the result of the courtd ecision against horder crossing restrictions and Depart. ment of Labor's eampaign to legis- late around these court decisions, The Department of Labor will pre- sent concrete recommendations for a law prohibiting border crossing, and many members of committee already have inclined toward this view. A report that the Canadian gov- ernment plans reprisals for immi- gration restrictions, has reached the ears of Chairman Johnson, he re- vealed today. This will be investi- gated hefore the committee agrees upon a border crossing bill, He said he had been told that Canada, either by Act of Parliament or by Order-in-Couneil, had prevented citizens of tha United States from obtaining employment north of the border, A general revision of the Tmmi- gration Act of 1924 1s in prospect, Johnson looks for the two govern. ments to negotiate an agreement under which reciprocal immigra-: tion might he provided, AFGHANS RESENT REFORMS OF KING India Office Receives Re- ports of Disturbances Near Frontier London, Nov. 22--Official reports received at the India Office Monday stated that uneasiness near the North-West frontier had been ac- i | centuated recently owing to increas: led disturbances on the Afghan side of the boundary, These disturbances are reported to he due to reforms introduced by King Amanullah of Afghanistan af ter his peturn from Europe, : The reports received by the India Office did not substitute rumors that had been current of a serious up- heaval among the wild tribes of the Indian North-West, PUBLISHES SOVIET ARMY ESTINATES London, Nov. 22--The Conserva- tive Morning Post published Tues- day what it said were the latest of- ficial army estimates in Soviet Rus- sia for 1927 and 1928 Appropriations amounted to ap- proximately $419,730,000, the Morn- ing Post said.

W, Backus is Optimistic But Says Situation is Very Difficult -- Montreal, Nov, 22.--Leaders of the Canadian newsprint industry were again in conference here yes- terday. When asked for a state- ment regarding the progress of their negotiations, participants de- clined to make anything public, claiming that it was not in the in- terests of the industry that any statement should be made regard- ing the matters under considera- tion, Interviewed on the general news- print situation, BE. W, Backus, out- standing western pulp and paper man, had little to say, He agreed that the newsprint situation at present was a delicate one, and one calling for very cares ful handling, However, he had confidence that the men in the in- dustry were big enough to steer it safely through the difficulties that confront it for the moment, The newsprint industry is one of the biggest North American in- dustries and it seemed to Mr, Backs us natural that the different gov- ernments interested should show signs of being a little worried that he position should appear so troub- ed. As to the immediate outlook, however, Mr. Backus declined tu nrake any forecast, saying that in his opinion the less the situation was talked about in public the het. ter. He nevertheless was quite op- timistic as to the future of the in- dustry, he sald, GIRLS CAN SWIM BETTER THAN BOYS REPORT RECORDS London, Nov, 22.--For the first time for 15 years the girls of Lon. don have showed a greater apti- tude than boys in learning to swim, This is yecorded in a Fe- port to London County Council Education Committee, The percentage of girls actually taught to swim has risen from 36 to 40 in the last year, and the per- centage of hoys has decreased from 36 to 35, During the year 156,848 echil- dren had lessons in swimming, and 40,272 had learnt to swim by the end of the year, Mr, Harold E, Fern, Hon, Sec- retary of the Amateur Swimming Association, finds that girls are beating boys in swimming all over the country, SECURED TO AUTO DOOR BUT ESCAPES Fort Slocum, N.Y, Noy, 22.--Any- one. seeing a young man wearing a pair of handcuffs and the side door of an automobile is requested to com- municate with Chief of Police Stemmer, of North Haledon, N.J, without delay.

Nov. 22,--"The greatest year in the history of On: tario in cheese production," is the comment of George H. Bam, Dis rector of the Dairy Branch of the Department of Agriculture in the Ontario Government, Ontario cheese production has increased largely through the popularity of Ontario cheese in Great Britain, Mr, Barr says. The demand there for cheese from this province ls greater than the supply, and more milk is being turned into cheese and less into butter this year than ever before, The grades of Ontario cheese are better than formerly, the dairy director says, The percentage this year is 96, compared with 92.6 last year, In one inspectorate in the eastern section of the province in which there are 24 factories the average of firsts is 99 per cent, and nine of the factories haye had all their cheese output graded at the highest standard, Mr. Barr states, Director Barr cites the follow- ing official statement as an indica- tign of the gratifying manner in which Ontario's cheese production is advancing: For the period, Jan. 1 to Nov, 8, 1927, total number of boxeg submitted for grading was 1,367,961, There are 80 pounds to the box and the average price last year was 18 cents per pound, making the revenue on that basis $19,808,638, For the same period this year the total was 1,451,686 boxes and the average price has Convert Your Attic Inte An Attractive Extra Room at Low Cost With GYPROC ES De nt Waterous-Meek, Limited MsLaughlin Coal & Supplies, Oshawa, Ont, Oshawa te Oshawa, ke Oshawa, Ont, wa, Ont, Osha OF at oo FLOOR WAX - FUOK FLOORS "LINOLEUM * FURNITURE AUTOMOBILES StoBiE-ForR LoNG &@ BONDS GRAIN olf 28 ls Seer uta 8, F.
