SAFETY OFFICIAL OAYS ACCIDENTS SPECIES OF GRIME (Continued from page 1) Quebec has been described by the Minister of Roads as a regulation that "has been most succd¥sful and has resulted in the saving of many lives"; And whereas the Provincial High- way Department of Ontario has adopted regulations requiring all ve- hicles to stop before entering upon main highways, which legislation is believed to have resulted in a sub- stantial reduction in the number of ter market to score a slight od- vance this morning, and at estui. | lished quotations business was suid | before, and there was a total of 70 less fatalities from all accidental causes. During January of this year there was not a single child killed by Mo- tor Vehicles in all of the Province of Ontario, After seventeen years devoted ex- clugively to safety work, I am con- vinced that accidents are a species of crime, the greatest deterrents. of which are law enforcement and edu- cation, ¢ URGE ABOLITION OF SPEED LIMIT (Continued from page 1) opening remarks, congratulated the town of Whitby in being so open and above-board in broadcasting to the world the information that a speed limit of 20 miles per hour was to be strictly observed within its borders. Mr. Robertson referred to the fact that the O.M.L. had for years been waging a fight for improved roads throughout the province, and said that in Ontario today there were 5, 732 miles of improved roads, which was 66 percent of the improved roads of the whole of Canada. Of this total, 1,928 miles were concrete, which was 7-8 of the concrete mile- age in #1 Canada. Oshawa Led the Way Incidentally, he remarked that the first stretches of concrete highway laid outside of the borders any town or city, were short strips laid to the north and east of Oshawa. After that the Toronto-Hamilton highway was built and the movement spread rapidly. This winter, 2,220 miles of highway was kept open the winter through for motor traffic, The speaker protested vigorously against the efforts of the municipali- ties for the transferrence to them of part of the revenue from the gaso- line tax and license fees, and also their demands that they be relieved of part of their contributions to- wards highway costs. "That would place the whole cost of highway con- struction and maintenance upon the motorist. That is unfair, because many other people benefit from the improved roads that bring business to them. Last year, $100,000,000 was spent by United States tourists in Canada, and Ontario has 76 percent of all of the tourist traffic to this dominion," he said.

CHICAGO PRODUCE FUTURES Chicago, March 27.--Advances on eggs yesterday were not gen- erally well received by local oper- ators, and thére was a tendency to feel that quotations now cur- rent aré fully discounted by the The Well-Known TAILOR We have just received the designs i cities and towns which are not pro tected by automatic or means, ordered or approved by the Board of Railway Commissioners for Canada shall be treated in the fol- lowing manner: Those crossings which are consid- ered dang us shall be designated as "Stop" crossings and those where the view is unobstructed and the physi- cal conditions do not justify a full stop shall be designated as "Slow" crossings, and those crossings where all of the conditions make for a clear view in all directions shall simply be designated as railway crossings and that there shall be erected at the crossings so designated standard signs similar in design to those al- ready adopted by the Department of Highways reading: Railway - Stop Crossing, or Railway Slow Cro:cing or Railway Crossing as the case may be. The regulations adopted should provide that vchicles on the high- ways - shall stop where the sign so indicates and where "Slow" is indi- cated, speed should be redyced so as to bring the motor car under full con- trol. It is recommended that these signs so placed shall indicate by means of an approved sign whether the rail- way is a single track, a double track or multiple track. It is suggested that these signs be placed on each side of the highway at approximately the same distance from the railway tracks as the Stan- dard Highway Stop Signs are now placed on the highways at Stop in- tersections, And furthermore, that the munici- pality and township authorities be re- suired to designate the various cross- ings subject to the approval of the Department of Highways. Severe Penalties Our courts seem now to be dealing more severely with motorists found wuilty of causing serious traffic acci- dents, Press headings like the fol- lowing are more frequent--"Caused death on Highway--gets two, years." Work With Children On account of so many motor ve- hicle victims being children--innocent and carefree children--the Ontario Safety League has concentrated its work in such a way as to reach each year the maximum number of chil- dren in the schools of the province. In 1926, we started a campaign of special safety work in the schools, During that year 23 less children were killed than in 1925. This work was increased, and in 1927. 13 less chil. dren were killed. In 1928, 3 less and in 1929, 19 less.

Telegrams were received from Hon. George 8S. Henry, premier of Ontario; W. E. N. Sinclair, M.P.P., leader of the Liberal opposition; and J. P. Bickell, registrar of motor ve- hicles; expressing regret at their in- ability to be present at the dinner due to pressure of their duties in connection with the legislature ses- sion. A LEADING SUFFRAGETTE London, March 27--Lady Frances Balfour, who died recently, was born in 1858, was a pioneer of the woman suffrage movement, and the cham- pion of any cause for the advance- ment of women. In the early days of the woman suffrage agitation she led a procession of suffragettes through the streets. Believing that serving 'behind the bar in a public- house was as proper an occupation for a girl as a shop, she fought to better the barmaid's life.
