the acion tree press acion ontario thursday march ulh 195 the biggest killer cancer polio and many other diseases are having a great fight waged to stop th toll of lives being taken some progress is being made but perhaps the biggest killer of our day is the motor car and we doubt if much progress is be ing made in keeping down the toll of lives being taken we talked to a business man on the subect this week he told us of being witness to an in cident recently where a drunken driver had clip ped two or three cars before crashing into one and injuring its occupants the driver got a month in ail and will after the 30 days again be a men xe to every other motorist we know our prisons and reformatories are full but surely there is some method that can be adopted and enforced where by killers on our highways can be kept from be hind the steering wheels of automobiles we don t believe we need more laws but we do think a different approach in our courts with more emphasis on the common sense and less on the legal points would be helpful every driver s license has space for three convictions to be registered we wonder if noting the convic tions is regular procedure in our courts if it were done it would be quite a simple matter to take away permits of those who are dangerous to the public at large we know the ontario department of high ways has other troubles at the moment here is an opportunity for the attorneygeneral to give some relief to another department and a public service to the citizens of ontario we badly need a clean up in this province m our law

md nm m will a r t procrastination just why each year we need to have so many deadlines and last announcements for procuring of auto licenses is difficult to understand each ear the department of highways starts with a january date and ends up with several postpone ments and a final date some time in march ac tually all licenses and permits are good only for the year of issue but the ontario department seems hesitant to enforce its own regulations perhaps it is this lack of enforcement in all its branches which is making our highways unsafe for the law abiding citizens it appears to carry right through its various branches until there is a general feeling of insecurity with the motoring public perhaps the same laxity in the cause back of the construction scandals which have cost the wastefulness and inefficiency have not yet been given much of an explanation in the interests of the safety of all we need a clean up in the ontario department of highways end a tightening up of the enforcement of our laws no doubt a stronger opposition in the legis lature would have a salutary effect or it might hasten the cleaning process if a change were made and a new broom used in the clean up task it cannot happen here looking at the municipal tax rates being set for the year throughout ontario citizens of east ern canada can look with envious eyes on al berta while eastern provinces are concocting new ways of taxation a press report states that the opening up of natural resources in allwrta may enable that province to provide funds for educa tion and municipal purposes wheat that
