MAKING MOTORING SAFE There are few throughout 011- tario we think, especially among the motoring public, who will not heartily approve of Hon. G. S. Henry’s plan to next year declare all provincial highways or 'other main arteries through highways and require all travellers approach- ing these highways to do so with caution. Especially _ in the larger centres, a motorist has sometimes all he can attend to in watching the traffic on the road on which he is travelling without being called upon to watch the sidelines as well. With the volume of travel by the main highways, it is not asking too much, we think, to re- quest all travellers approaching these highways from the less used sidelines to do so with caution and accept the major portion of re- sponsibility in eliminating acci- vv-vâ€"vv The proposed plan of the Ontario Motor League, however, to petition the Government to increase the speed limit to 35 miles per hour on the main highways of the pro- vince, will not likely be received with so much enthusiasm. This speed limit can be worked out sat- isfactorily, perhaps, on the wide roads near the cities, but there are far too many of our provincial highways still uncompleted to make the 35 mile limit general. As two examples, we might cite the Gara- fraxa and the Toronto and Syden- ham highways. It would be poor policy to allow a speed limit of 35 miles an hour over these thor« oughfares. They are too narrow in many places, and such a speed limit would only legalize collisions and other accidents. On the other hand, the govern- ment cannot “checkerboard” the speed limit. It would be impossi- ble for them to allow a 35 mile limit from Toronto to Marden on the Garafraxa and a 25 mile. limit for the rest of the journey to Owen Sound. No doubt many such ex- amples could be found all over the province. _ I'" -_-__-- There is no doubt in our mind that 35 miles per hour is a safe rate of speed on highways wide enough and improved enough to stand it, but for a government to sanction it on the narrow or partly constructed roadways still largely in the majority, would be indeed a short-sighted policy. PARTY POLITICS i l l R. J. Woods, exâ€"M. P. for Duf- ferin, the defeated Progressive: candidate in the recent Dominion: election, in addressing the Dufferin County U. F. O. at Shelburne Sat- urday week, expressed himself as being disappointed in the temper. ance people of the riding “who af- ter giving over 5,000 of a majority for the retention of the O. T. A., turned about and gave a majority of over 700 for a man (Rowe) who had laid his hands on the O. T. A.” Mr. Woods was also disappointed in the farmers. who would not stick up for their own interests, and blamed them for the defeat of the Drury Government, which in Ontario “had done more for rural parts. including the towns and villages, than any other govern- ment.” Mr. Woods surely cannot be ser. ious. Evidently he has forgotten the fate of Sir William Hearst and the Conservative Government in the elections of 1919, when. Sir William, one of the outstanding temperance men of the country, 'v---r'-vvâ€""' .. and the one man responsible for the granting of the vote on tem- perance, went down to defeat with an overwhelming majority. His government, too, were swept aside by the U. F. O. landslide, and their temperance measure carried with a majority of some “0,000! It was ever thus, and in our humble opinion, it will always be. To say that the temperance peo- ple will not vote their principles is hardly fair. There is something in nearly every man’s maekup that leads him to believe that his party, be it Grit, Tory or U. F. 0., is capable of handling the temperance question just a little better than the other fellow, and as a conse- quence, he generally votes party. l ninnist partV. in 3 11183881 London to Belfast, calculw the financial agrgeyxen} 31;) Wham" is afraid 0’ “5"“ Thursday, Decal-bu 10, ms.

A quiet wedding was solemnized at Knox United manse, Durham, on Wednesday, November 25, when Mr. George Newell. son of Mr. and Mrs. George Newell of Glenelg, and Miss Elizabeth Wleir, younger daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Weir of Glenelg, were united in marrige. The only witnesses to the ceremony were Mr. Louis Newell and Miss Lily Ritchie. The bride looked ver handsome in her wedding gown o peach silk crepe with pearl trimming, and wore the couventional rope of pears. A handsome northern musk- rat coat completed the costume. The ceremony over, the wedding party drove to the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Newell, brother and sis- ter of the bride and groom, where a sumptuous wedding supper was partaken of, this event being attend- ed by a few friends of the contract- ing parties. after which the even- ing was spent in a social manner. On Friday evening of last week, a reception was tendered them at the bride’s parents when a pleasant evening was spent in dancing and other pleasures. A pleasing fea- ture of the evening was an address from the neighborhood in which Mr. and Mrs. Newell were made; the recipients of a china cabinet and fernery.

C. Wood- rnfl', Assistant Freight Traffic Man- ager of the New York-Central llaii- road in the New York Central Lines Magazine. Following this statement, indica- tive in his opinion that the rail- roads should not .fear motor trans- portation competition, Mr. Wood- rufi’, commenting on the relations that should exnst between the two forms of transport, says: “Lhave felt that if the motor truck and the railroad could consider themselves in the role of alliesnr ther than as enemies or antagoms , and ac- tually work on such a basis, a long step. on the road of progress would have been made.” , Come to Stay “1 think it may be fairly said," continues this traffic official, “that there is practical cement that motor transportation as come to stay in a large and constantly in- creasing way. “Therefore the problem is how shall this form of transportation he made use of to accomplish the best results, working in harmony with other means of transportation al- ready established. “These other means may he more or less old-fashioned, antiquated, and some of them worthy of the scrap heap; at the same time, how- ever, they represent investment, years of work and endeavor, and perform a more or less beneficial and necessary service to commun- ities. av.
