The magistrate was called on the telephone, and, after having the case explained to him, he imposed fines of $150.00 and costs each on the two men. It may be quite a common thing to settle cases by telephone, or even by letter, when trivial offences under the traffic bylaws or Highway Traftic Act are involved, but surely an offence of the nature referred to above in not of so trivial nature as that, Ina case of this kind, in which charges under the criminal code are due to be tried, even a ples of guilty should not be allowed to do away with the necessity for an nef court hearing. The action of the magistrate means one two, things~-sither that he conpidered the offence so trivial as to be in "the same class as a minor infraction of a {+ traffic bylaw, or that the men involved were "considered to have enough influence, or to be important enough, te have the case hush. od up by a telephone hearing instead of ap. pearing in court to face the serious charges which had been laid against them. One can only come to the conclusion that the magistrate had been swayed by ene of + these two thoughts, But it in rather signifi. eant that nearly every day men charged with slight offences have to appear in court to be "tried, while men whose offences are of so ... Aerious a mature as to coms within the pro. 'visions of the criminal code are allowed to escape a police court appearance in an effort to have the whole affair hushed up, That hardly savors of British justice, and makes one wonder en what basis a telephone trial was permitted in these two cases, PICTURING THE CITY The Oshawa (Simba of Comnante ha undertaken an interesting project in the compilation of a "Pletoris History" of the city. This project appeals to the imagina. tien of all whe really 'Jmow OshaWa, and Ymow hundreds of beauty, spots and places of interest Which are worthy of a place in a parmanent record, in pictures, of Oshawa as it is in 1980. One of the difficulties which {ace those who seek to learn something of the.Oshawa of fifty or sixty years ago is the lack of just such a collection of photo. graphs, and one can readily imagine what i the value of hs "Ritarial History" will be to those of future generations, [A project of this kind is worthy of the hearty co-operation of the citizens. Few peo- ple, nowadays, are without cameras, and it should not be difficult, with the proper spirit, to secure hundreds of pictures of in. dustrial nts, street scenes, beautiful homes and gardens, churches, and other bul from which to make wu selection which would be worthy of the city, Indeed, it might be well worth while in. b | troducing the spirit of competition into this t, with a view to stimulating interest ! : Tran offering prizes for the best pictures. submitted in various fixed clagsifications. in the that or of Commerce might see fit to create the proper amount While heartily endorsing the project, The " this sugegstion th oo it to cre in- hy ST vie i A ------------ | | BOWMANVILLE'S DECISION om th ne if a Tether : ms to be th in { at a ho Pre "Provincial | Td is something lacking in a com nuni. | ty which {ale to | FOX AR quire their electric and ges utilities, and to bring them, along. with the water supply, + under the ju wisdom of this step has been fully demon~ strated, Rates have heen reduced for all three utilities, and there are good reasons for anticipating further reductions. 'And what, is perhaps more important, the earn- ings are taking care of the repayment of the Anvestment without affecting the tax rate any way. : One would imagine that this example would have influenced the people of Bow- manville to do as Oshawa did. Apparently, however, little interest was taken in educat- ing the ratepayers to the advantages of the purchase. Bome judicious publicity of an in- ve nature would have made a great difference to the situation. The people of . ' Bowmanville, however, are their own-mast- ors, and one can only express regret that thelr decision was, what it was, UNIFORM HIGHWAY LAWS One of the chief subjects under Yiscussion ' at an Inter-provincial conference of the Can- adisn Good Roads ,Association in Toronto this week was the subject of uniform high- Te Iaws for all provinces in the Dominion. 'This Is & very timely subject, for with mot. orists spreading their travels by car from one side of the Dominion to the other, it is ' not only confusing, but sometimes danger- ous, to have different codes of traffic laws in the various provinces. A man may be driving, while away from home, in a manner , perfectly in keeping with the laws of his na- tive province, and at the spme time be break- ing the laws of that through which he is driving. : eatest concern of all highway and automobile associations in these days is the promotion of greater safety, the compiling of laws and regulations which will prevent accidents, At present, the wide divergence of laws in the various provinces is one fac. tor which must be taken into consideration in trying to produce such traffic conditions as will be conducive to the maximum meas. ure of safe driving. When motorists are confused by unfamiliar laws, they are more liable to be invelved in accidents than other. wise, and it would be a splendid thing to have uniformity in this respect from one coast of Canada to the other, CURFEW LAWS ap---- In some parts of Ontario there are com. munities which still have curfew laws on their statute books, although no attempt is ever made (o enforce them. The magistrate and erown attorney of Chatham, however, have been aroused by a wave of juvenile deli. quency to suggest that the curfew law in that city should he revived and enforced, and that children.be warned off the streets after nine o'clock at night. Thera can he no doubt that the principle that. children should net be on: the streets after late hours at night is a sound one, but it is doubtful if the revival of curfew laws is the wisest way to enforce that principle, The enforcement of a curfew law should not be so much a matter for the police authoris ties to deal with as it should be a question for parental control, All parents should realize that from the standpoint of health, as well as that' of con. duct, their ehildrenghould be safely within doors at a reagonabls hour every evening. It is almost tragic to sde, on the streets of the city, long after dark, even in these days of daylight saving, childven of tender years, who should haye been in bed hours before, One can only guess that there is a decided lack of parental discipline in these canes, and that lack of discipline in many instances is due to a lack of real interest in what the children are doing. This in a deplorable con. dition, Yet it does exist, and all the curfew laws that can be devised will have little of fect in correcting it unless the parents take hold of it with a firm hand and see that the home and not the street becomes the place io which their children spend the evening ours, ' TT EDITORIAL NOTES The case in whieh: two local bookmakers were fined $150 and costs has aos much comment in the city, and the chief comment is to the iw that the men chap ed were al 'working for someone else who escap- od detection. Let ug not have citizens of Ontario slaugh- tered to make a Dominion Day holiday. The Lenton Free Press says, "The Liber. als are making it what the man on the street salls a dirty campaign" Bo far, the Free Press seems to be alone in finding this out, In any case, it is poor pelicy for the pot to call the kettle black, ; 3 Rain ip India accomplishes a great deal of , It ig the only thing that can stop par: it Nationalists, els non and heir ill have a up n dhe Iap tation ich 1a and to the baen, de for hire f. | on falling in price, we may soon be able to buy then in the chain stores, Rain is very welcome, but it would 'be lat FG ml Ue vs 1 ction of a public utl ities | + commission, In the intervening period, the CARS PLUNGE | RIVER; R also was jajured, " The following children wore ported dead by qrowniny } Helen Nedd y oiling with her m hy Meo.
