All will be touched for a short time by the mys- ~~ tery of life and death and of life affer death, Then they will go home and dig in their garden. A Perhaps they will not literally dig in their garden but they will go on with their job whatever it is} in that digging away at their job they will find eternal life too just as you find it in the church or in the garden IF YOU LOOK FOR IT.

However, the influx of people was due to the first annual draft horse auction of the Ontario Belgian Club.

Nickle, member of the Ontario Legislature for Kingston, made a 'good point in the Legislature when he called attention to a legal anomaly about the right of way. The "right of way" exists in law; that is, | ¢ by law, the vehicle on the right has a precedence over the one on the left: ary, according to the statistics branch In most ingtances, this is sensible. It o is downright dangerous when prac- tised from a side road into a highway. -- Highways are through ways. Dri- is presently constituted they do not, |g should a driver from a side road on 1953.

Then, since he is on the right, he has legal right of way. He can proceed to P turn into the highway, or even to go y across it, no matter how heavy the traffic, for he fears the magic and, in this case, mad "right .of way". It is a loophole in the law which should be closed. Mr. Nickle, a law- yer, has done a service by bringing it"to the attention of the Legislature, He has been supported by the CCF House Leader, W. J.
