In a country like Canada, with a small population and a large rail- road mileage, it is obvious that the level crossing can- not very well be abolished, but it is equally obvious that the majority of the dangerous ones could be made much more safe than they are at present and at no very great expense. The accident at the Durham hill last Wednesday night is but one of many that occur daily throughout the Dominion. We think we can remark without any “I told you so” spirit that the citizens of this town have long expected just some similar disaster, and, while we have been told that the railroad company was not responsible for the local accident in any way, the conditions surrounding the crossing wereâ€"â€" and the Railroad Commission is responsible for these same conditions. When the railroad was completed in 1908, the Commission ordered'a bell to be placed on the crossing. The railroad company complied with this ruling, and thereby are legally exonerated from ent. Since 1908, motor cars have come into use, and in the recent past, the Hamilton-Owen Sound road has been designated a Provincial Highway and an ex- cellent roadway built, with the natural increase in traffic. Even until 1920, the “bell’ signal was not so bad, but with the increased use of closed cars, it has become obsolete and practically no protection to motorists. This feature was responsible for the accident to Mr. David Smith last week. He was drivâ€" ing a closed car, did not, in fact, could not hear the bell. and reached the crossing a second after the C. P.R. night train, with disastrous results to himself and his car. Though his was the first accident to happen, there have been several “near” ones, an in our opinion, it is high time that railroad crossing signals keep up with the times and be made more effective. There is in use at several points in Ontario a signal which not only sounds a bell on the approach of a railroad train, but also waves a Signal over the ._--.- mun. m. mm mm miss seeing.

At night this ‘ signal is lighted by a red lamp and is a most effect- . ive warning that a train is approaching. Might we suggest that our Town Council take the matter up with the Railway Commission and ascertain if it is not possible to have one of these modern signals installegl on the erossing here?

Ispoke it for two years with people high and low, and I have come out to speak for the oppressed masses of Russia, silenced as they never were silenced under the czar. . It is superstitutionthat confuses the revol« ution with the ruling party of today. There are thousands in prison and concentration camps in Russia, not for Opposing the Govern- ment, but for opinion’s sake. To call the pres- ent Soviet Government a worker’s experiment is the most preposterous lie ever told. The in Russia. The time has come when silence on the Russian situation makes you a party to the crimes which are being committed there. . Un- less you understand the mistakes of Russia in, the past seven years it is likely there will be repititions elsewhere. , My cause against the Bolsheviks is not that they have been too revolutionary, but that they are not revolutionary enough. The Russian Bolsheviks are the arch counter-revolutionists of the world. For what is revolutionary that does not hold high ideals? All ideals have been discredited in Russia. Coming from such a source, the above rema are of more than passing interest. _ .I L..- ”ain‘t A; n“'. will: ’|§al¢ , Wemnotboabktostopdrivnufmdrink- ing, but we can stop them from. driving-Scuttle Post handyman » .r f 1 Ul“ UV“ Uvuvvw vv ‘U-w .â€" man and her ill; had "their way thirty years ago.
