Mr. Toupet will be remembered as having been the first American tour- ist to arrive at. Meaford in an aeroplane and became so deeply interested in this town that he not only built a beautiful summer home here but he purchased a farm on the outskirts of the town with a view to establishing the town with a view to establishing an aerodrome or landing field for aircraft.

In 1926 such. accidents had caused 289 deaths; in 1927 the number of fatalities rose to 422 and in 1928 the number of deaths due to traffic ac- cidents was 477. The increase from year to year is due to the increase in _ - Ann the number of motors. Early in 1928 representatives of the Ontario Govern- ment, of municipalities, of the police force and the safety organizations met in Toronto to discuss the situation, and some beneficial results followed, by calling attention to the hazards of travel on the public highways and of the obligation of drivers to exercise vigilance and care. To what extent these factors contributed to a change for the better is 'hard to’say, but com- paratively there were not so many traflic accidents in 1928 as in .1927. The season of 1929 will soon open, when more motor cars than ever be- fore will be on our highways, and everyone who drives a. car should be seized with the thought that he or she vvâ€"vâ€" --_v__ , is responsible for reducing the num- ber of accidents to a minimumâ€"Mount Forest Confederate.
