charles street the box would be much more useful if it were more central somewhere closer to the library she says mr e hodge stopped at the office to show us two beautiful bouquets of gladioli mr hodges garden is one of the finest and he plans to show his glads at the cne this year last year his plans were spoiled by an unseason able heat wave which witheredthe growing flowers one of the good services of the ontario motor league is a legal department which operates for the benefit of members a recent five dollar fine which the writer was assessed for speeding on the lakeshore road was washed out thanks to the oml lawyer who appeared for him saxe motors are local agents for the motor league and any driver who is not a member is well ad vised to consider joining two little crosley cars from pennsylvania caught our eye on the highway rec ently beside them the austin looks like a giant and we were surprised that travellers would venture so far from home in such small cars buying some wood at the beach at the current price of 5 a cord a neighbour said that when he was a young man a cord cost 90c de livered and stacked however everything was in pro portion in those days when a dollar went five times as far if this weeks herald seems awttle slim in news items dont forget that half the town has been on vaca tion and that most orga are closed down for the summer so no news is beirlgmade theres not even an opportunity to crib any news from other pap ers as most district weeklies are not publishing this week it didnt help any either for the editor to take the hoday weekend off and spend three days at the beach doing practically nothing we did read our an nual novel this year vespers in vienna which prov ed to be an excellent story by bruce marshall author of father malachys miracle it was about the british occupation of austria after the war and contained some deep philosophy about democracy and communism written in language which the layman can understand bill roney is boasting about tiis peach tree which this year has a record crop it is one of the first planted locally and was obtained from the late professor how ard hutt safety on the highways it is to be hoped that the ontario department of highways will continue to expand its service in using the new road marking system on highways which tells when it is safe to pass the car ahead we have found that it is one of the greatest safety measures ever taken and it takes away much of the strain in driving long distances the marking system for those who are not familiar with it has four simple features a dotted line in the centre of the road signifies that it is safe to pass a solid line warns that vision is obscured for traffic both ways as does a double solid line a solid line closest to the driver with a dotted line to its left means that it is unsafe to pass but that oncoming traffic can do so trie sooner this marking system becomes uni versal the sooner accidents will be avoided by motor ists passing at unsafe places it is suggested that two further measures might be considered by the department of highways aa a furth er aid to- safe driving first is a thorough check on the placing of highway stop signs these signs should always be placet well back from the through road in order to give motorists a chance to come to a full stop in this district we have particularly noted two roads where the placing of stop signs flush with the highway could contribute to serious accidents the roads in questionnaire those from silverereek through hillsburgh to the orftgyiile arthur highway and from rock- wood to the shand dam outside of fergus both of these cross the guelph orangevillq highway and on both roads the stop signs each way are smack on the highway the latter road also crosses the highway out of fergus and again the same thing iffevmlrlast year an acton lady lost her life in an accident at one of these crossings and while we know no details we can imagine that poor location of crossing signs may have been a contributing factor we have ourselves missed ihii crossing on more than one occasion and also the cross- irigs on the hillsburgh road c a second suggestion which wouldbe valuable would be the institution of a ne sign which could be called hidden hill to be placecfat anjt point on the highway where one of these small dips whichwn conceal an orp coming car can lend to a fatal accident any driver who travels a certain roadseveral times eventually learns where these occur but the tourist is not so in formed and the safest driver can gift in trouble at such spots j what is a vacation j at this time of year when vacations are in vejgue we wonder what is the wisest way to spend one the- conclusion is that it all depends on the individual and on the life he normalfy leads to some vacations are periods of complete relaxation when they do absolute ly nothing more than eat and sleep and sun themselves this is particularly beneficial to businessmen whose daily work is not limited to any set of hdurs or whose job entails a lot of entertaining and night life others consider a vacation a time when they can break loose and really have some fun dancing partying and generally having themselves a time this is an ex cellent way of relaxing for people who normally lead a quiet life for it provides a change which if we can be lieve the saying is as good as a rest therfare those who wouldnt give a fig for either of these vacations but who prefer to travel and see something of this country or the states and whose only opportunity comesat vacation time these are the people who are wisest t6 take their holidays in spring or the fall for the heat of summer is not the best time to enjoy motoring many vacations are influenced by the young members of the household to whom vacation is synonmous with beach and no matter what mother and dads preference the family ends up somewhere where there is water and sand and junior has a wonderful time other families follow the advice which was contained in an essay which used to be in a high school literature book which maintained that a family should get away completely from all friends and family connections and that this was the important factor rather than what was done it was even suggested that a husband and wife should take independent vacations and that both should get away from the children and so it is impossible to give any advice at all about what to do on vacation other than to suggest something different the most costly places do not necessarily provide the most fun and a grand time can be had on a small expenditure provided it is what the person wants to do themselves planning a vacation can be almost ns rriuch fun as the trip itself particular ly to those wanting to travel and it will surprise you how many hours can be spent figuring where to stay the night and where to eat and whether to take a side trip sups that pass in the type the above
