i it Sot T "Two motors cars were meeting at h the foot of a hill near Collingwood & after dark one night ‘recently, and in the glare of the headlight from one h e machine the other turned out to pass at, and struck a buggy which was f «standing there to let the two motors get by. One person was killed and othâ€" rid ers injured. hk The following letter confirs and eâ€" laborates the statements of the "Star" "Collingwood, Ont., May 12th, 1920. 4 "The Secretary, Ontario Motor League, ’\ Toronto. , | _ Dear Sirâ€"I am drawing your atâ€" ‘tention to a verdict we brought in re _ the accident at Nottawa Bridge, Colâ€" _ lingwood, in which a young woman «driving in a motor was killed. & We recommended in this that all cars be equipped with dimmers and that all wheeled vehicles on roads at night be compelled to carry lights. Qur idea was that the oldâ€"style lamp | used in England, showing white on f sides and a red bull‘sâ€"eye to the back, would fit the bill. There was no doubt ‘ in the jury‘s mind that had the bugâ€" gy which the car collided with carried a light, the accident would not have happened. A® Winnipeg is making headway in its _mobilization, 17,351 cars having been ehalked up to date, according to the latest figures of the automobile license department, which is approximately a car to every 15 persons, basing on a population of 262,000. Andrew Schmidt, of Carrick, has a famb which was born on March 31st and which on May 31ist weighed 84 lbs., a gain of one pound per day. â€"â€"Andrew Buchanan, of Dalhousie ‘Twp., has received $40 as bounty for the wqif he killed a few weeks ago. The jury were not men who own cars, with probably one exception, but a@ll of us had done considerable drivâ€" ing with horses and we know whereâ€" of we spoke. Had we not been new to the business we would probably have recommended that our verdict be sent to the proper quarter, but this we did mot do. I have tried to remedy this by writâ€" ing the Ontario. Minister of Highways, and I am writing you so that you can bring your influencée to bear ~on the matter. "The coroner‘s jury; after hearing all evidence, exonerated the drivers of both cars, but made recommendaâ€" tions which deserve the attention of the Ontario Government. One is, that @all motor headlights should be dimâ€" mer. (After July 19th glaring headâ€" lights will be illegal in Ontario.) The other is that all vehicles ‘on public highways at night should be compellâ€" ‘ed to. ¢a,rry lights. The safety of travel on the highways at night calls for both these regulationsâ€"calls for both equallyâ€"and no consideration, but that of the public safety should weigh in this matter." | The menace of the lightless vehicle has been pointed out time and again by the various motor leagues in the Canadian Automobile Association. In many countries and in most of the States of the Union all vehicles are «compelled. to carry lights after dark. Unfortunately no such law obtains as yet in Canada. The following editoral in the Toronto "Star" of May 12th foâ€" cuses attention or one of the many acâ€" «cidents due to "lightless vehicles": LIGHTS ON ALL VEHICLES URGED BY JURY Yours, WINNIPEG HAS 17,351" CARS W.

But "the Lady with the Ford," who is a memâ€" ber of the Victorian Order of Nurses, working under the new rural health plan, charges only about 65 cents, and where persons have no money, no charge is made. On the part of the nurses it: is largely.a. work of love and of service, and this splendid movement should be extended to evâ€" ery settlement in the Dominion. Through the Women‘s Institutes, the Victorian Order of Nurses and other ~women‘sâ€"â€" organizations, it is plannred to carry on‘ health and welâ€" fare work throughout the most reâ€" mote districts, of the province.> Such work as is carried on in Saanich is not a heavy tax upon the people. __In the country, however, while livâ€" ing conditions should be almost ideal, there has been a slackness in the matâ€" ter of public health.
