Page Four THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 7th, 1937 WE WANT YOUR HELP! When you see a motorist driving in a manner dangerous to the public, take his number, make a careful note of the actual time and place, and when you reach your destination write to the Motor Vehicles Branch, Department of Highways, Toronto, giving full details. We do not invite reports of minor infringements of the traffic laws; you are requested to use sound judgment. We will deal adequately with offenders! DID YQU CAUSE THIS? As a motorist and a citizen of Ontario, answer this question: How would you like to face the rest of your life knowing that you were responsible--through carelessness--for an accident like this ? Would you ever want to drive a car again ? If you do drive, get this clearly in your mind! Should you break an Ontario traffic law and cause death or injury, you may not be allowed to drive a car again! We are determined to end the needless slaughter of our people. Cutting in, passing on hills and curves, crowding, racing and other breaches of the traffic laws, will get you into trouble--make no mistake about that! Reckless driving must stop--now 1 ONTARIO DEPARTMENT OF HIGHWAYS Vehicles Branch CASTLETON October 5th, 1937 Wedding Bells *ill soon be- ringing again in Castleton.

The governments will have to care for tho cattle, too. The governments and Red Cross are providing funds for immediate relief purposes. The Churches and citizens in general who may or may not be connected with any particular Church can again perform a useful service by sending carload lots of fruit and vegetables to the affected areas. Last year, the combined forces of all the Christian Churches sen: 297 carload lots of fruit and vegetables to the West. These were moved free of charge by the railways, the contents having been donated by the Christian people of the privileged areas of Canada, viz., Brtish Columbia, Ontario, Quebec and the East. People who received goods sent fine letters of heartfelt thanks which were published in some of the local papers. We have shown the West that we of the East really care about them. This appeal is sent to the Clergy Chicken thieving, always rather prevalent has become something of an epidemic in suburban sections; so serfous. in fact, that chicken farmers are in a state of continual apprehension that their fowl may disappear any night. Realizinz this situation, no doubt, a Guelph Magistrate has sentenced three captured chicken thieves to two years in Kingston Penitentiary. At first the sentence may seem seviere. but this is a contemptible kind of crime, and justifies' firm efforts to check it. In this case the fowl were stolen from the Ontario Aricultural College, and were of a of all Churches, also to all members 'and adherents' that they may get behand this effort, wholeheartedly, in each community to make it a bigger success than ever. It is hoped, too. that the Service Clubs, Women's Institutes, Young People's Societies and Municipal Authorities may he enlisted in this effort. It is expected that cars of fruit and vegetables will be loaded at Brighton, Campbellford. Cobourg, Colborne and Port Hope. Announcement of this 11 be made later by the local com- Until the date of loading arrives every individual is urged to collect a supply of vegetables, canned fruit, raw fruit, canned vegetables, beans etc.. with the exception of raw pumpkins. Those who lack all of these commodities are urged to purchase some, so that each one may have a share in this great enterprize. Five hundred care are needed in the stricken areas this fall. particular type for experimental purposes. The loss is heavy, but not more serious than that suffered by those whose living depends on raising chickens. This kind of thievery is only a part of what is going on, and on a steadily inoMasing scale. Market gardeners are at their wit's end to find a method of dealing with bold thieves who nightly cart away vegetables and fruit. . Here again the livelihood of market gardeners is threatened. It is an easy matter for men in trucks to carry off a carload of growing stuff. They work quickly and quietly; in fact they have been known, when found, to defy the owner. One man is helpless against a gang of toughs. What is to be dona about this? Theft is theft, no matter where or how committed. There is no difference between breaking into a city store and stealing goods and robbing the -market gardener of his produce. In urban centres the police must be reckoned with, but it is impracticable to patrol country roads regularly enough to check auto-travelling thieves thieves. Plans have beben discussed. Electrically charged wire fences, not strong, enough to electrocute might help, though wires are easily cut. If the right kind of watoh dogs were kept they would at least., give the alarm. If known to be vicious these animals should be the most effective challenge to thieves who prowl by night. The Car has made of this nuisance a new problemi for which, so far. there doesn't appear to be a solution. But something must be tried.
