Here we have a man driviiifr a car while on relief without a nermit, without money to pay insurance to protect himself, or to keep hi.s ''car in suf- ficient repair so that it would not be a menace to traffic, on the other hand \re have a careful driver, on his own side of the road and olK-yinc traffic rules suddenly finding a car in front of him and no chance to avert an ac- ident. That he escaped with his life vras only providential. His car has been seriou.-ly damaged through no fault of his own and without a chance to collect (h'.maKcs from the one who caused the crash. The present sys- tem of voluntary car insurance is antequated and the government would be advised to force every car owner in Ontario to carry I'uhlic liahility and property dimiagc insurance in order to protect the motoring public. There are hundreds of old decropid cars travellinjr the rpads today that should be sent to the car dumps and away from the highways where they will not cause harm to anyone. Com- pulsory car insurance is needed, and at once. MAXWELL Mr. and Mrs. A. Acheson and daughter of Markdale visited with ; Rev. and Mrs. Bushell on Sunday.

DUNCAN Phone 54 Flesherton, Ont. 243 Trustees In Six Townships Speaking at a meeting of the Grey I County Educational Association at Thornliury the other day, Mr. George I K. Pcntland. M..^., of Hanover, public] school inspector for .South Grey," brought out some interesting points in: a talk on "Larger .Administration â-  Units". I In his inspectorate of six townships] there are 241! rural trustees, while 37 ] county councillors manage the whole ; comity of Grey, said -Mr. Pentland. i 'I'here are six small schools that could he closed in his inspectorate and pu- pils could be transported to other neighboring sections and if that plan "was adopted throughout Ontario $220, 000 could l>e saved anil by a con- solidation system $1,000 could be sav- ed in his insiicctorate alone. For instance, the township of Nor- manby is under the handicap of hav- Mig no continuation or high school within its borders whereby her child- ren can advance beyond the entrance stiiniling, yet this township pays an- nually $1..'')00 to the county and re- ceives nothing back for education. | Only .'t.S per cent, of rural pupils under present system of school gov- 1 «-rninent get any further than the entrance to high school, while 95 per' cent, of the url)an pupils, after pass- 1 ing the entrance, take advantage of the high school, located in their midst.' This handicap to rural pupils could be overcome by a system of consoli- ilation. Two-Third** Live on Farms. .Mr. Pentland's remarks were el- alxuated in an address last week to Grey cmnity council when he declared that ono-third of the people of the county live in vi4lages. town and city ami two-thirds live in the townships. Of those two-thirds, he felt it to be a fact that there is little chance to send their •hildren to school after tliey have ))assed the sntrance, unless tlu'V cai\ afford to pay approximtelv *200 a year, niul very few of tbeni (â- an afford to do that. Last year, he coiitiitued, only !W) per cent, of the children of these township residents .iltend'.'d coHtinuation schools, high schools or collegintes in the county, \vhilc a total of !I5 per cent, of the cbildreii in the towns, city and villages at lend, obviously a very unfair situa- tion. "These farmers v.-'nom I inter viewed informed me they Just coirtd not afford to send their children to schools of highher leartiing. However 1 did learn a very astonishing thing. 1 learned that if transportation could lie provided for the children to and from the school.s each day that 02 per cent, of them vrould attend. From this it is quite evident that something is wrong with our school system when the country boy or girl does not have n chance to go to school. "And yet the assessment for schoOi pui-poaes is nigher in the townships than in the urban eontrcs. From thi.i you may gather that the rural school child hasn't the ghost of a chance. Of what use is the privilege to attend school when the childrei cannot get there. Need More Continuation Schools. "My own nlan is this. I would start continuation schools at strategic points in the countyâ€" Dornoch, Pricc- vdle, Cedarville, Honeville and similar places. This would not increase the number of teachers as these could he taken fiom the existing schools and continuation schools and would cost no more. Government grants are very liberal, there is plenty of mocey, except that it is concentrated in the urban centres to the exclusion of the rural. I have learned from the De- jjartment that it is quite legal to transport children by car or truck to these schools, the county paying hall the cost and the parents the other half. It would cost the parents ap- proximately ?20 each for each year, and the county $3,000. Every child could thus attend school and be edu- cated up to the honor matriculation grade." Late Mrs. W.CBIakely The death of Mrs. Samina Agnes Blakely, wife of William G. Blakely, occurred recently at the family res- idence, 21'.t Melbourne ave., Winnipeg. Deceased, who was in her 74th year, was a native of Grey County, Ont., and went to Winnipeg to resido in IH02. For a period of six years the family residence was in West Kildonan, and in August of last year Mr. and Mrs. Blakely made their bonn- in Fast 'Kildonan. Besides her husband, Mrs. Blakely leaves to mourn her passing a family of two sons and three daughters: Thomas G. and William Allan, of Witmipeg, Mrs. S. H. Geddes and .Mrs. Delia M. Nixon, of Winnipeg, and Cassie^ at home. There are also six grand-children. The funeral service was conducted Saturday afternoon at 3.30, in tht A. H. Gardiner chapel. The officiat- ing clergymen were Rev. Dr. J. W. .Aikens, of St. John's United and Rev. Wm. W. Conly, of Atlantic Avenue I^iited. In the course of the service a favourite hymn of the deceased, "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere," was rendered by Mrs. Gault. Burial was made in Elmwood cem- etery. The pall bearers were: Messrs. H. Hunter, G. A. Williams (Toronto), Alf Welch, C. J. Jackson, A. Jackson and S. H. Geddes. "Mother" There never was a purer heart Than that of our dear mother. Whose love and care goes on and on Far beyond all others. Friends are made by folks like us. Or perhaps by many others. But at journey's' end we'll always find Only God can give us mother. A series of political meetings is planned by both major parties in On- tario this summer. It just seems that Creeuiore Girl Killed Margaret, 14 year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Smith of Cree- more, was instantly killed on Thurs- day of last week in a fall from a horse. With two girl companions she had been out riding when a truck coming from a lane frieghtened the horses. Miss Smith fell and suffered â-  a broken neck, dying almost instantly. Our sincere sympathy is extended to Editor and Mrs. Smith in the tragedy which has entered their home. A Winnipeg young man was charg- ed with carying a blackjack, which he said was to defend himself against along with the nice weather we have | other armorous suitors when he visit- to expect mosquitoes, and political orators. black flies â€" ed his girl. He certainly had a force- > ful argument. ;..;..:».;~»;..;..;~;~;».;~;..;~;..;..;..;~;~;..;..;..;..;..;..;..;..;..;..;~:..;~;";~;'S~.'V.~.".~.**.~.~.**.~.'*.
