onvith the salt use of salt on highways and streets dur- tng wint to improve driving condition has been e matter of contention for some time a recent experiment in rochester proves interesting in order to discover what would happen if a no salt policy was introduced the city manager and commissioner of public works in rochester agreed to use nosalt during one snow storm it was undertaken by the men on their own and no one was advised of the experiment the result was that by afternoon with dropping temperatures the complaint bureau and iceland snow control office were flooded wltlr complaints from police dvtoials transit company supervisory personnel and many private citizens the superintendent of street cleaning said conditions would become intolerable unless salt was used and the- remarks and statements of individuals were acrid the order was given to salt the streets and the hazardous conditions were relieved after one run of sajt spreaders an hour later the city was back to normal rac d o h under criticism for its salt policy noted that ever since salt was- first used there had been a constant search for an effective corrosive inhibiting material in every case the ex perts have found an efficient additive is either not sufficiently effective or the cost was prohibitive and so its still on with the salt close to home accidents that hit close to home always leave the most impressive message behind the accident last week at hillsburgh that saw three die in a flaming school bus and the driver as a later viqtim leaves broken hearts in the immediate district and hearts heavy with genuine sorrow ip me partof close to us at any time it is unfortunate that mounting death on highways has little cumu lative effect but an accident close to home drives through the message of safety much ontario there will undoubtedly be many versions of what actually happened already there have been plans for exhaustive inquiries into the cause of such an unfortunate accident probably the most important lesson is the simple message that accidents can happen more quickly its highly doubtful that level crossings will be eliminated in our day because of that and despite warning signals will continue to call for a degree of caution while our sincere sympathy goes to tl families and friends of those lost in the tragic school bus tram crash at hillsbgrgtv it is our hope the stark tragedy will impress on al of us the need for that level crossing caution the good old days back 4n 1910 back in 1940 taken from i he linue or the tree taken from the issue of the free press

tue ihi tes lorittlon of thitstittng silver tassles bearing gifts the canadian government has announced a 25 millions gift to india under the colom bo plan another way of stating it is that canada will be mcreastng her export trade with india by about 23 millions and making a ca contribution of something less than 2 m about four and a half million bushels of wheat will be shipped valued at 7 millions there will be base metals to the value of 115 millions canadianmade dtesel loco motives for 2 millions and 2 5 millions in fertilizer the wheat base metals locomotives end fertilizer will be sold for rupees and the rupees spent on indian labor and indianpro duced materials for government development projects the mutuj benefit of this counterpart fund plan is obvious and beyond criticism but there can be snags at the outset of the colombo plan canada got off on the wrong foot with its first offer of wheat to india the indians politely buff irmly refused and can adians showed their annoyance relations bel 1 ween ottawa and new delhi became ex tremely cool finally through an mtermedi ary canada discovered that the grade of wheat she was offering was useless to the indian processor that was a passing misunderstanding but giveaways that may be sold in competition with similar homeproduced products present a recurring problem none of which need be too serious if we remember that the bearing of gifts has never been recommended as the way to gain popularity hamilton spectator suyzi and sfuce some of the answers how expert are the traffic experts do the specialists in accident prevention know most of the answers even if they dont al ways apply the cures or are there lots of good practicable ideas that could save lives on the highways that have not yet received official consideration these are some of the questions that the attorney general the hon a kelso roberts q c hoped to have answered when he or ganized the recent jack hammell highway safety suggestion award the competition has now been judged prizes awarded and the winning suggestions circulated for study to interested authorities the ontario safety league quotes from the variety of interesting opinions and sugges lions brought out by the competition roadsthe middle white line should be fluorescent highway curves should be marked on inside and outside as well as centre glass reflectors on all road signs curves and hills should have escape lanes for emergency protection against reckless dvertakers all fatality locations to be marked with luminous white crosses ut off the shouder of the
