when you think of it is helpful not only to the new canadian but to other citizens as well canadas new citizens naturally want to drive cars and there is a real danger in allow ing them to do this until they have an elemen tary knowledge of english present day traffic is geared to travel by signs and unless a driver has a readable knowledge of english he is a menace on the road to himself and others that ignorance of the language can have serious consequences is indicatedby a kitch ener case where an immigrant who could nei ther read nor understand english was charged withtbreach of the rules following a collision historical data sought every now and then we remind readers that the herald is making a collection of old pictures postcards calendars and snapshots which will contribute to the historical lore of this part of hal ton unfortunately time has not yet permitted the editor to assemble these in any form suit able for showing to the public it has been and is our hope that some year soon the many pic tures we have received can be displayed at the fall fair the aim o the collection is to save souv enirs which otherwise might be tossed on the scrap heap and which become more valuable as pot pourri a scrap of paper found by mr e harris behind an old picture gives a bit of information about life in 1894 part of a copy of the evan gelical churchman gives prices on the 1

ontario highwayatraffic act should be in possession of a drivers licence the extraordinary aspect of this case is that u permit to drive wus granted a person to whom such signs as school slow danger ous curve no passing on hills merging i raf fle are meaningless it would be thought that with ability to drive an elementary knowledge of english would also yc a mimmu require ment for a licence as a measure of protection for the individual and for the public basic english classes such as have lxcn operated in the three north haltqji towns by the high school lioard are thus rendering a service
