,- - ‘â€"â€"v----vv iiiii 'v do. There is no doubt that they are sincere in their convictions. but that does not justify their actions. If it is wrong to take an excursion motor bus on Sunday, it is wrong to pleasure-ride in your pri- vate car, and our contention is that a man has just as much right to walk into a garage and hire a c'ar on Sunday to take his family out foran airing as another man has to back his private bus out 3.! the barn and to [allivanting around the country We have understood all along that it is illegal to rent a horse and buggy or a motor car on Sunday. This. in our mind, is another law that is hardly fair, if it is true. There are a good many peqde who are always trying to stop everyone else from doing what they _themselves have no inclination to One of the desecrations spoken of, however, may not appear as such to a good many. We refer to the running of excursions on Sunday. A com- mittee has been appointed in Owen Sound to find out if this is within the law or not, and if it is not, the ministers of the city are to make an efiort to have the practise stopped. There are two sides to a question of this kind, just as everything else, but it is more than likely that the ministerial association will see only one side. If it is wrong to run a motor bus on Sunday, even on an excursion. for the purpose of giving some family an outing, then it is wrong for a man to take out his car on Sunday and go motoring for pleasure. There is one thing certain, there will not be many people who own motor cars patronize a motor bus on Sunday or any other day. The motor bus makes its money out of the people who do not own cars. and in running an excursion on Sunday. the chances are that the passengers are people who can not afford a motor car and who possibly cannot aflord an outing on a week day, when father is busy in the sh0p and doesn’t feel like laying off to take the family out into the country. I" We believe that at one time there was a law in force in Torono forbidding the renting of row- or motor-boats on Sunday. What was the result? The man who could not afford a motor‘boat had to stay ashore, while the man with a big enugh bank roll to make the purchase unloosed the painter and went a-sailinx, with no one to say him nay. And Sunday was the best motor boating of the week, because on that day, all the rented boats were tied up in the boat-houses, and the private-owned yachts had the bay to themselves. With the increase in' motor traffic, the laying of dust on the highways running through towns is a new proposition for councils and governments to deal with, and one that will have to receive more and more attention as the years go by. We predict that it will be but a very few years before the main arteries of travel will be either all oiled or paved, as the dust nuisance will annually become greater, To us, lowered license fees are not yet in sight. Rather. we look for an increase, for, when the main trunk roads are completed, it will require a large amount of money to keep them in the proper shape for travel. We look for an increase in the tax on gasoline as well. Oiled roads and improved high- ways are the direct result of the popularity of motor cars, and if the motoring public is not satisfied to pay for their upkeep, who will do it? There is a movement now on foot in Owen Sound to put a stop to the desecration of the Sabbath. The movement has its start in the ministers of the town. and if it is to be directed against real, not imagined Sabbath desecration, then we wish them success. The work this year was done better, too, than on previous occasions, the full width of the street being done from curb to curb, while an attempt was made to give attention to the whole' connecting link on the highway from the Russell plant to The Re- view office. Just how much satisfaction will be derived from the lighter oil remains to be seen, as it is said that it may take two applications to lay the dust 5r the whole summer. and as the motor traffic increases, will hemâ€"me an? bearable to all residents living along the highways in both town and country. A movement is now on foot to have the province oil their portion of the road running through the town, from the Russell plant south, and from The Review office north. This‘will be done, we under- stand. if a proper petition is circulated. This year’s Council listened attentively to the representative who waited on them and purchased the oil he recommended, with the result that so far as can yet be ascertained, it should give satisfaction. It is a dust layer, pure and simple, and will not interfere in any way with dragging or patching the road, we are told. PAGE 4. The Town Council is deserving the thanks of the citizens this year for the manner in which the street oiling program was carried out. Never since this work has been done here has the oil. in our opinion, been put on in such an efficient manner. In other years when oil was used. the asphalt con- tent of the dust layer was not the proper oil for streets in the condition in which Durham roads were found. and as a result, street oiling was considered a most unsatisfactory method of laying the dust. Oil with asphalt content is used as a road builder, and before applying, the streets must be cleared of all dust and loose dirt if the best results are to be obtained. Though this was fully ex- plained by the oil men, the asphalt content was pur- chased and applied without any special preparation, with the result that it was picked up by passing cars and carried all over the country.

There were a lot of people in Durham Town Hall yesterday afternoon who will tell you that Howard Ferguson and the Conservative party are the biggest bunch of grafters and noodleheads that ever held the reins of Government in Ontario or any other country. But just wait until after the Conservative convention in Fleshertonâ€"or the U. F. O. at Price- ville! At the former we’ll know just what the Grits are, and at the latter probably both of them will be well attended to.

If some women in town could see the way hubby slugs the ball and runs the bases at the‘ softball games, we know a lot of men who would have to help more with the housecleaning next spring than they did this. If they could beat carpets like they try to make home runs, they’d be a real asset to any woman’s housecleaning program. “Gas Makes PeOple Nervous and Restless,” says an advertisement heading. We agree with this. But which has the more effect, political or gastron- omical? What with bobbed hair, short skirts and the Charleston, it is little wonder that the world is wondering what end is coming up next. most about you are the sorest when somebvrvi; Q’s-é talks about them? The accident on Saturday night last fortunate- ly resulted in nothing more than the destruction of the bicycle, but had the car been going at any speed, and had the brakes not been applied almost instantly, there is no telling what might have hap- pened. It was an accident pure and simple, with nobody to blame, and all are glad that there were no serious consequences, but at the same time, would it not be well to try and prevent a repetition of the affair, which next time may not have so fortunate an ending? ‘ Wednesday’s cold weather made the most of us wish that we’d left the heavy ones on for a few days yet. There is no use in trying to saddle all the blame on the motor car driver. The careful drivers are, thank goodness, in the majority, and no one would feel worse than they if, through no fault of their own, some accident should occur that would cost the life of a fellow citizen. Neither do the little fellows, who take the chances, consider the big risks they run by getting mixed up in the traffic. The boys of today are not one whit different than the boys of yesterday, despite the statements of pessimists who insist that the younger generation is headed for the hot place. Youth always did and always will take chances, but in the interests of the motorists if no one else, we think there should be some way of preventing these accidents before they occur. a Saturday or any other night, but it is equally as true, that the insistence on the exercise of these rights may lead to serious consequences to the rider of the wheel. Generally, the bicycle comes out second best, just as the car trying to beat the rail- way train to the crossing is the one that suffers when both arrive at the same moment. goodness knows where. If one must be stopped. then the other should. The accident last Saturday night by which a young lad of town narrowly escaped serious injury, if not death, when the bicycle on which he was riding came into collision with an automobile, should be a warning to parents and boys alike that there is a danger in the practice that should be regarded seriously. There is no denying the fact that a boy on a bicycle is within his rights in riding on Gara- fraxa or any other street in town or country, on THE CHRONICLE has on previous occasions re- ferred to the danger of riding bicycles on the main street by boys, especially on Saturday nights, and it is with no “I told you so” idea that we refer to it again. The most of us are, perhaps, like the old Quaker, who is reported to have. said to his wife, “All the world is queer except the and me, and thee’s a little queer.” Isq’t it funny that the fellows who talk the NOTES AND COMMENTS CRISP COMMENT SAFETY FIRST THE DURHAM CHRONICLE the British Fame consists in having people think you are the wonder you think you are.
