Oakville - Trafalgar Journal Entered, 2nd Class Mail, Ottawa Oakville, Ontario Thursday, August 3, 1950 20 Pages 5 cents a copy, $2.00 Per Year in Advance ville .Ttos CRACKING DOWN HARD on motorists who let their speedometers climb over the Queen Elizabeth Way's 50-mile-an-hour speed limit, provincial: police in plain, dark sedans have issued scores of those ex- pensive blue summons papers during the pastétwo weeks. When the first cars began to roll over Q.E.W. eleven years ago, the boulevard-divided 000,000 roadway was termed '"'as nearly foolproof possible." But a grim, steadily mounting acecid toll over the ensuing years has emphatically pointed up the fact that there are fools and FOOLS: Con- vinced that regulation white markings on cruisers were too readily spotted in traffic, O.P.P. Com- ot missioner Stringer ordered the plain models on pa- trol duty with strict orders to enforce the limit. This order is being strictly adhered to, but it's a job that keeps the officers as busy as the proverbial bee. They will continue to bear down on speeders, the commis- sioner says, in the hope that curtailed speeds will eliminate many of the spectacular smashes that have built up the Queen Elizabeth's alarmingly high eollis- ion frequency rating. Taken since the crackdow went into force, the photograph. on the LEFT sho that traffic tends to keep to 'the left lane.
