Council of the Coun- ty of Ontario will be asked, at its November session to give its opin- ion on the following questions re- lating to traffic rules and regula- tions, The questionaire is being sent out from a Parliamentary com- mittee investigating, The fact has been made fairly evi- dent from the opinions expressed at recent sessions of the Parliamentary Committee appointed to consider proposed amendments to and the co- ordination of acts relating to motor vehicles and highways acts, that the suggested amendment requiring all vehicles using the highways after dark to carry lights, is very gener- ally advocated. The committee's sittings, however, have been confin- ed to the urban centres of the Pro- vince, and the deputations which have waited upon them at the points of their tour have necessarily been largely urban in their representa- tion. Because of this condition an effort is now being made to obtain a summary of opinions on the many matters under discussion from coun- ty districts, and with this in view a questionaire has been prepared and circulated among County Coun- cils. | "The views of your Council on ths] following subjects which relate to| the operation to motor vehicles and the use of the public highways will be greatly appreciated: Committee (Continued from page 1) conclusion that the proper course for us as municipalities to take is to re- quest the Canadian National to give this suburban service to our district, We, therefore, have by resolution approved of giving up the option to purchase the Toronto ahd Eastern by the municipalities, "We have unanimously come to the conclusion that the creating of a suburban. service around Torosto by the municipalities can only be estab- lished by taking away the feeders of the Canadian National, and also by building a trunk line from Port | Hope through Toronto and Hamilton to Niagara, to the detriment of the Canadian Nationa! Railway, and re- sulting in keen co:npetition with the said Canadian National by the muni- cipalities, and of incalculable value to the C. P. Railway, "Further, it would of necessity leave many important districts with- out direct connection with the 22,000 miles of Canadian National Railway. This can only be very injurious to the Canadian National and the dis- trict, A Cheaper Service "In the carrying out of the policy of co-ordination, the Canadian Na- tional can create and give the sub- urban service at many millions of dollars less than the municipalities. For example, 8ir Adam Beck re- quired guarantees by the municipal- ities of eight and one-half millions to create this service between Toron- to and Bowmanville. There is no question that the Canadian National can create this service for less than three millions. Not only can they save the expenditure of at least five millions, and thereby give cheaper transportation, but they can incom- parably improve on the proposea line of the Hydro commission as to convenience and benefits of people in the district, and all without any obligation whatsoever on the part of the municipalities, "These, and other facts, together with the desire of the people betwees Toronto and Port Hope to co-oper- ate with the people of all Canada in supporting and being loyal to the Canadian National Railway, the greatest of all public ownership C. N R. Directors STOLEN CAR FOUND ONTORONTO STREET BY OSHAWA OWNER Frank Robertson, Accused of Theft, is Committed for Trial HAD SOLD MACHINE Jewish Junk Dealer in Posses- sion When Car Was Discovered Frank Stanley Robertson, of To- ronto, was yesterday afternoon in police court committed for trial on a charge of steading a Chevrolet au- tomobile, the property of Joseph Ward, of the firm of Ward & Dew- land. The alleged offence was com- 16, Later when in Toronto Mr. Ward recognized his car standing at the corner of Richmond and Duncan streets. He called a constable and together they waited until a man appeared and sat in the front seat. The man waited but did not touch the wheel or starting mechanism. Then he was placed under arrest. Later this man was freed by the To- ronto authorities. Arrested Robertson Sergt. McConnell, of the Toronto dectetive department, was the first witness called, He told of the ar- rest of Robertson. At the time of arrest Robertson had told the detee- tive that he had bought the car from a junk dealers whose premises were on McCaw! street. Defendant had also claimed to have a receipt for] the transaction. An official of the Ontario License Board, Toronto, testified that he could not identfy the signature on the application form for a license as being that of the defendant, mitted on the evening of September where they were pasted together, The cheque was produced in court. Had Story Under the cross-examination of D. A, J. Swanson, defendant's counsel, witness gave very coutradictory evi- dence and the lawyer succeeded in obtaining an admission from witness that he had ccme to court with a prepared story. The dealer also ad- mitted neglecting to enter the trans- action on his books, He strenuously denied that he had ever been con- victed in a Hamilton court. Benney Fier, another Toronto man, testified that Robertson had lived at his (Fler's) home for abot three weeks, The defendant had kept his car in the alleyway at the rear of Fler's home, In the evening of Oc- tober 16 Robertson was sitting in his house with hig wife. On hearing that the police were outside looking over a stolen car Robertson had aris- en and left by the back door. Wit- ness did not think this was an un- usual procedure because of the fact that Robertson had often left by the rear door, WHY FOREST FIRE PLAGUE IS FOUND Noted Forester Claims Ques- tion is One of Public Morals (By Dr. Clifton D. Howe, Dean, Faculty of Forestry, Toronto), Forest fire protection is a ques- tion of public morals. People do not realize haw much we depend up- on the products of the forest for our comforts and necessities. We come in contact with these products every hour of the day and every day of our lives, from the wooden cradle to the long wooden box. The for- ests are. the very foundation of our industries, Next to agriculture no industry contributes so largely to our National and Provincial wealth. The lumber industry of Ontario gives employment to 17,000 men in the bush alone, with an annual payroll of $12,000,000. Pulp and waper mills of Ontario employ 8,000 peo- X.

Business of People, I say forest fire protection is a question of public morals, there nev- er will be adequate fire protection fn Northern Ontario or anywhere else until the people demand it. are due to human carelessness. You see, the responsibility rests almost entirely upon men themselves, upon the managers of the railways, upon the tourist and the camper, upon the settlers and the lumbermen, All of these are residents or travellers in the North Country. We will nev- er have adequate fire protection until we can educate the fool, with his watch, or until we can educate care- It costs the over $3,000 a time to look after the fool and the criminally careless who wander at| liberty, or who work in our forests. ! You and I help pay for that. No forest fire fighting organization in the world can give adequate | protection without the support of public opinion, and this support our Provincial fire protection service does not have in the North Country. It is very easy to criticize another, and especially easy to criticize the government organizations, but be- fore we hecome too critical I think we ought to ask a few questions about conditions in the North Coun- try.

"Please don't nibble begged the Lady Mouse "Yes I shall!" gargled Nosed chap. "Please don't nibble my ears!" bleated Nannie, the goat girl. "Indeed I'll nibble all your ears!" said the Baboon most impolitely. Uncle Wiggily tried to think of a way to stop the bad chap, and so did the teacher of the hollow stump school. And finally the lady mouse whispered to the bunny: my ears! the Blue er heard the animal childrens' les- sons. "If it were not so late that all the classes are out I'd go in school and hear Susie Littletail do some spel- ling," said Uncle Wiggily.

We ought to ask how many settlers evade the permit system for burning slash in operation in many sections of the North. We ought to ask to what degree this evasion is winked at, or even encouraged, by the leading citi zens of those towns. We ought to ask even if the members of the Legislature for those districts do not sometimes petition the Geovern- ment to let up on the enforcement of the forest protection regulations, on the basis that they are so unpo- pular, that, if the member espouses | them, he will fail of re-election, Only the Best for me!" declares the woman who takes pride in the kind of food she sets before her family.

"I love painting," bleated Nannie, and Uncle Wiggily saw the box of paints' under her hoof. "Oh, then its all right!" ex- claimed the bunny gentleman. "I thought Nannie wouldn't be bad in school. But won't you come to my bungalow, Miss Lady Mouse Teacher, and have a cup of tea with Nurse Jane? And you too, Nannie?" The little goat girl was very anx- ious to go for she knew Uncle Wig- gily's muskrat. lady housekeeper would give sugar cookies with tea. But Nannie, to be polite, waited for ihe lady mouse teacher to speak rst. "We'll come to your bungalow with pleasure, Uncle Wiggily," said the Lady Mouse. "And may Nannie come," asked the bunny gentleman. 'I should like to have, her paint a cup and saucer for Nurse Jame." "Yes, Nannie may come," said the mouse teacher "Try it;" advised Uncle Wiggily. So the Lady Mouse Teacher asked the Blue Nosed Baboon this exam- ple: If five oranges cost a cent and a half each, how many apples can you buy for a lollypop when roller skates are a dollar a pound? "Six chocolate drops!" cried the Baboon. "Right," sadly answered the Lady Mouse, and she knew no harder example to ask. "Perhaps if 1 offer him my tall silk hat he'll go away and let us alone," thought Uncle Wiggily. But when he held out his hat to the Baboon the bad chap only laughed. "I'm going to6 nibble ' all your ears!" howled the Blue Nosed chap. And then Nannie showed what a brave goat girl she was. Opening her box of paints, and taking out a brush she rushed at the Bab, cry- ing: "Now, you go away and let Uncle Wiggily and the Lady Mouse Teach- er alone, or I'll paint your blue nose red! That's what I'll do! I'll paint your blue nose red'" "Oh, please don't do that! Don't do that!" begged the Baboon, for he was very proud of his blue mose. "I won't nibble any of your ears to- day!" he howled, and, holding his |i paws over his blue nose, so Nannie couldn't put any red paint om it, away hopped the bad chap, and oh, how glad Uncle Wiggily was and the Lady Mouse Teacher also. "It's a good thing Nannie takes painting lessons," said the bunny, as he led his friends to his bunga- low for cake and tea. And if the molasses doesn't run off the bread and try to get a ride on the roller skates I'll tell you next about Uncle Wiggily and "Lulu's necklace.

Hungerford Specifie Mr. Hungerford, after hearing all the representations, replied. He said that since he was assured in this unanimous way that the municipali- ties had given up the option held by the Hydro on the Toronto Eastern, and that they had absolutely aban- doned the thought of securing greater facilities by the Hydro plan, and now wanted to co-operate with the Canadian National Railways, he personally appreciated the necessity of the service and was prepared to at once recommend that the national board make the necessary expendi- tures. He was quite frank in his position and did not hesitate to give a most satisfactory answer to the deputation. Mr. Ruel was also specific. He said that he was prepared to recom- mend that the National Railways electrify the Toronto Eastern and such parts of the Canadian Northern as will give rapid radial transporta- tion from Cohous.
