in a strong demand on the part af motorists for compulsory insurance of this nature for the protection of the public there has also been some agitation for compulsory inspection to remove from the roads the hazard of defective automobiles over in massachusetts they have had compulsory in spection for some time and the tests have shown the need of such a measure of 1 looo cars inspected 0817 were found to have faulty steering gears and in the case of 1407 other autos parts of these gears had to be replaced while defectives of less impor tance were discovered in a great many others de fects in ughts were even more numerous 30728 cars requiring adjustments to be made figures such as these indicate that defective cars are sufficiently numerous to be a greater danger on our roads than most people imagine barrie examiner mdhlajl off to a good start the new year has opened rather brightly in one respect in actons industrial life the announce ment of completion of an agreement for occupancy of the shoe factory building is naturally pleasing to everyone the assurance of employment to an extra number of people is always welcome and evid ence of growth of any community to those who have arranged the multitude of details that are involved in connection with ajactory and its sale citizens generally are grateful reeve mccutcheon and the councillors were all on the job and have held not one but daily and sometimes twice a day meetings to consumate the arrangements mr r mi mcdonald who was appointed some time ago to get a factory for this building has been most un tiring in his efforts to help consummate a satisfac tory arrangement and secure an industry the pre sent completed arrangements are indeed a bright streak in the industrial horizon in acton it is to be hoped it is but the forerunner of industrial matters in acton this year and that 1038 will be marked as a banner year in actons industrial growth safer without one drink the campaign against intoxicated motor drivers will not be weakened by a warning from colonel a e kirkpatrick of the police c6mmission that it may be carried too far the colonel is right in his con tention fhatn man may have had a glass of- beer but because he is involved in an accident and liquor is noticed on his breath he is not necessarily in toxicated for one driver a single drink may be more potent than a dozen for another intoxicated drivers no matter what the quantity of liquor consumed have made such a mcs9 of things that any evidence of liquor in connection with a traffic accident should be investigated police cannot accept the assurance or the most violent pro tests of drivers smelling of liquor that they arc perfectly sober and fit to drive they may be both but there is the association of liquor and the car crash and liquors part in it must be discovered by evid ence the impression that there is to be more police leniency about this aspect of traffic accidents should not be allowed to get abroad in the circumstances the sensible plan for all car drivers is to avoid taking even the one drink the risk is too great no hardship is involved by post poning the drinking then if accidents occur the idrinkless driver his conscience clear and his breath all right has a distinct advantage over even the one drink individual when questioned by the police this is such ordinary common sense that all drivers with ordinary common sense should make it a strict rule of conduct safety first globe mail surely something better it was a bit of a shock to many on monday morn ing when with over a score of heads of families re ceiving relief that snow shovellers were not more in evidence among the group no doubt this and other similar actions had a distinct bearing on the decision of council to have all ablebodied recipients report each morning for municipal work at the town hall toronto is planning a similar move in clearing the snow from the streets there is no doubt that rhe method of relief as sistance is far from satisfactory in all municipalities the use and abuse of the system grows rather than diminishes as it continues in force there is too often a tendency to lay away nothing for the time when adverse conditions are encountered with thej knowledg thnt with rm fimt retier is ava7iatic7jt7 this attitude is certainly not fair to rhe taxpayer who struggles along and tries to meet conditions and pay his way it is certainly no incentive to thrift and quite apparently a splendid teacher in the art of idleness experience has been secured in the present relief plan surely something better can be put into practise soon 80 on saturday birthday wishes have been extended on this page by the editor on the anniversary occasions of journ als and editors known to the editor and our readers none have ever given us more pleasure than the greeting we now give to mr j s coleman who on saturday 22nd inst will observe his eightieth birth day at the home of rev and mrs ralston brown in

back to school days before he made an entry in the mysteries of the printing and rhe grime of printers devil days it was mr coleman who suggested and wrote the first articles of the twenty years ago
