He was accorded a splendid reception, and was extended the thanks of the club for his excellent and constructive address. : Mr. McBride opened by pointing to the fact that Ontario now has 70,000 miles of roads under tne jurisdiction of the department of highways,. 36,000 miles being im- proved gravel roads and 7,000 miles paved. As a result of the highway development since 1920, he said, there had been an insis- tent demand from the rural sec- tions to improve the byways, the township roads. In many instances the department had been asked to construct and maintain new bridges of a type sufficient to take care of the heavy motor vehicle trafic. The department was look ing forward to a realization of its responsibility in that regard, and this was one direction in which money could and would be spent for the advantage of the province and of Ontario The federal department had stated in statistics published last week, said Mr. McBride, that tne expenditures of motor tourists in Canada last year amounted to over $250,000,000, and abot $100,- 000,000 of this was spent in Onta- rio. This year approxiamtely half a million people had been licensed to operate motor vehicles, an in.

Responsibilities Pointing out the material bene. fits of this traffic to the province, Mr. McBride turned to the respons- ibility for safeguarding human life. Every city in the last two years, he said, commenced to rea- lize its responsibility in this re- spect, with the result that stop street systems had been adopted generally. Automatic signal sys- tems were now in operation in ev- ery city from Windsor to Ottawa, and as a result of these precaus tions, - Mr. McBride showed by quoting official figures, there had been a remarkable decrease in the number of fatal accidents in cit- ies. The speaker pointed out, how- ever, that there were still too many fatal accidents on the highways, on county roads and in suburban areas adjoining some of the larger towns. He strongly advised Bow- | manville to make the necessary ex- penditures to have the street inter- sections. conspicuously marked, and to improve parking conditions. He asked that on Saturdays and at times of heavy traffic the munici- pal authorities give special atten- tion to the traffic regulations. Analysis of Accidents In connection with motor acct- dents, an analysis of accidents in Canada and the. United States .ishowed the following outstanding causes in cases of accidents to ped- estrians: 1. Crossing between in- tersections, or jay-walking. = 2. Crossing at intersections where there is no signal or other safe- guard. 3. Pedestrians coming from behind parked cars. 4. Children playing on the streets. In the case of accidents to motorists, a simi- lar analysis had been made, show- ing the following to be the chief causes: 1, Cutting into traffic and attempting to pass on curves and on hills, 2, Accidents at railway crossings. 3. Coming into collision with parked cars backing into the lines of traffic. The Speed Limit "While once in a while we read of a feeling in some quarters that the speed limit should be eliminat- ed," said Mr. McBride, "we of the highways department are not so egotistical. as to think that we know everything there is to know about trafic regulation, because we realize that it is a big and dif- ficult problem and we are learn- ing something new every day. We are always open to suggestions from any quarter, but my opinion is very strongly that 35 miles an hour is fast enough for anyone to go in an automobile, either for purposes of business or pursuits of pleasure. That is faster than the average train, and If any business man really needs to travel at a faster rate, the Limited through trains are at his disposal, or he can take an aeroplane. I am convinec- ed that, with our good roads, 35 miles an holr is about as fast as any reasonable person would want to drive." » In closing, Mr. McBride pointea out that while the highway traffic officers were instructed to enforce the Highway Trafic Act courteous ly but firmly, it was necessary for safety to depend on the care, cour tesy and common-sense exercised by the individual mortorists. Af- ter all, it was the human element that had to be dealt with in all ef- forts to curtail, as far as possible, or climinate, accidents to motor- ists and pedestrians alike. "It is not how fast you can go that is the big thing," he said, in closing, "But how promptly you can stop when occasion arises," FOUNDRY TEAM BEAT GOODYEARS Interesting Game Resulted in a Score of 12 to 9. Bowmanville, June 15.--In a close game of softbail the Foundry took the Goodyear into camp the other night and defeated them 12-9. The game was fast throughout with the Foundry getting all their runs in the first half of the game. The Goodyear however spread their runs out get- ting a run in all the frames except- ing the first and seventh. The Foun- dry started out fast getting seven of their runs in the first two frames. This was on account of poor fielding on behalf of the Goodyear. After the second the Goodyear men settled down and corked the Foundry up bottle tight, It was however too late as the damage had been done. The Goodyear tried hard but could not count up the runs. The game was featured with two home runs and a triple, the first of the season. Cam- eron for the Foupdry got his triple Awnings, Tents, Etc.
