In some localities constables have been taking the license and the num- ber plates from drivers of cars, who have been guilty of driving furiously and returning them to the depart- ment. It is really a more salutary lesson than a nominal fine. If mag- istrates, when aggravated cases are brought before them would mete out punishment like this there would be fewer motoring accidents, as fast driving is ninety-five per cent, cause of all trouble. A furious driver is a menace and danger to everyone on the road. FALL TERM Flesherton High School OPENS SEPT. 4th, 1923. All intending students will apply in person at 9.00 a.m. W.
