THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, THURSDAY, AUGUST 11th, 1927 Page Five ONTARIO Help to Weed Out THE INCOMPETENT MOTOR DRIVERS NO matter how cautious you are in the handling of your car, the safety of yourself and your passengers is dependent largely on the other drivers on the road.

Secure your application form today. You can get it from any garage or issuer of motor car licenses in the Province. The fee for a License is SI. Traffic Patrol Officers may call for the production of " Operator's Licenses both on city streets and country highways. If you cannot produce your License you will be subject to a penalty under The Highways Traffic Act. New drivers, and .those suffering from physical disability, have the opportunity to pass an examination by Inspectors of the Department. These Inspectors aft located at convenient points throughout the Province. Your garage will tell you of the one nearest to you. The examination fee is SI. Ontario Operator's Licenses are recognized in every Province and every State. Wherever Operator's Licenses are required, an Ontario Operator's License is necessary for everyone in charge of an Ontario car. Do not attempt to t*ave the Province without your Motor Vehicle Operator's A satisfactory re of support by the great majority of motorists has been accorded the Department in m past efforts to maintain the safety of the highways. The higher speefl limit and an abnormal increase in traffic now render this additional measure necessary.
