paq two th acton httt hetss thursday august 11th the good old days may have seemed better a future program during uuw ostructton alt road and hgh way signs in acton hve taken a bad beating theyve been buried imaihed and wrecked it was therefore we read with interest that council was planning new signs to be erected at the highway entrances to town we had thought that the business mens association would have taken this protect m charge but again the burden seems to be taken by council juuny strangers pts through acton on no 7 and when no 25 highway is completed there will be many more visitors to this town an at tractive sign at the entrance to town gives the visitor e lasting impression certainly the sewer work on every street has not given them a very goad impression this year but a project of this tle was bound to bring about this messy condi tion highway signs ere very fine but often little outdated and at best not very conspicuous brampton chamber of commerce has recently erected very fine signs on the highway entrances to that town with them are combined in an at tractive arrangement the service dub signs we wish they had been placed closer to the highway but no doubt the reason for their placing is some highway regulation regarding such things lets be proud of our town let s clran up and pamt up after the sewer work is complrted and be proud to tell all who pass through in good b signs that this is acton and we re proud of it it s a program for the immediate future thai will r quire the assistance o all citicns m cooxraiin with council special plates

driver comparmq the number of cars that infest the highways with the number of accidents that ex cur each year it seems that careful dnvejs are in the majority if each motorist was to udge his own driving skill we don t doubt that there wouldnf be any careless drivers at all the only rule by which a careful driver can be measured though is by the mileage and accidents unfor tunately this is not even an accurate rule because the accident may have been caused when the two drivers of different categories met in ell however there ore a great many care ful drivers and to this group should go the credit for partially safe roads the provincial government of saskatchewan has adopted a plan for dealing with traffic of fenders which we shall watch with mierest arty driver convicted of a senous

kalcftewan rreens business wf et her ihe plan will be completely success ful or not can only be tlwwn by time if it is strorvgly enforced it would work very well but the penalty is a severe one bringing bad drivers into public disgrace and legal authorities who have to live with the drivers who come before them on traffic charges may be reluctant to im pose severe penalties too often it is not the weakness of laws themselves but the weakness cf those whose task it is to enforce the laws which permits abuses tl might be a very good thing it a man who t as len convicted of drunken driving were or dered to have a red license plate on ins car other drivers who saw the signal would take special caie wimmi they were near bun but we are afraid that such a tenalty m ontario would make il even more ditluult to jet a conviction on 1 drunken driving charge than is ihe caie at pre sent such 1 penalty would probably in- effective if it were rigidly enforce d but rl t nforcemenl tf any
