Let All Be Personal Missionaries In the Crusade Against The Toll of Death. A highway safety campaign is now in full swing throughout Ontario. Working on the idea that most motor accidents are preventable, the High- way Safety Committee is asking the co-operation of everybody so that the determination to prevent accidents may take a permanent hold upon the consciousness of the public. Personal Responsibility Is i Secret of Highway Safety‘ The executive is composed of Hon. Geo. 8. Henry, Minister of Highways, chairman; W.G. Robertson, Secretary of the Ontario Motor League; J.F.H. Wyse, Secretary of the Ontario Safe- ty League; S. J. Dickson, Chief of Police, Toronto; T. Marshall, sec‘re- tary, Ontario Boards of Trade; J. P. Bickell, Registrar of Motor Vehicles, and R. M. Smith, Acting Deputy Min- ister of Highways. An Advisory Inaugurating' the campaign a few days ago, Hon. Mr. Henry stated that people do not realize what the tre- mendous increase in motor traffic meant and that greater vigilance and caution are now called for. “It is on the individual driver that the responsibility rests,” said Hon. Mr. Henry. “When a man takes the steering wheel he is as much an in- strument for potential destruction as the man with his finger on the trigg- er of a gun.” Mr. Henry stated that the cam- paign was not one to continue for a couple of weeks and then stop. “Care needs to be used 52 weeks in the year," he said, “and we intend to keep that fact continually before the pub- lic. Education, we think, can accomâ€" plish a great deal, but for those who, in spite of warning, continue to drive recklessly we propose to take other methods. The reckless driver must be removed from our highways and he will be kept in check either beâ€" ihind the bars of a jail or by having his license to drive taken away from THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILLLONT. him “The driver who is merely incom- petent we are trying to eliminate by the 'new system of personal licenses, but it takes time.” I Mr. Henry also gave it as his opini- on that pedestrains using the high- ways could co-operate by exercising greater care. He advised pedestrians to walk on the left hand side of roads facing the traffic. Almost every possible meansâ€"is tak- en to make the public “Traffic con- scious.” Radio talks are being given by leading public men and experts in highway problems. Striking adver- tisements calling attention to various phases of accident prevention are ap- pearing in newspapers. Posters are being hung in garages and filling sta- tions. Half a million stickers with the words, “I’m for Care and Court- esy. Are YOU ?" are being distri_ buted by filling stations. The hope is that every motor driver will paste one of these stickers on the lower right hand corner of his windshield. Police Chiefs, Heads of Municipal Governments, Editors, Boards of ‘Trade and Service Clubs also signified itheir intention of co-operating. “Remember always that accidents will be largely eliminated by the ex- ercise of care, courtesy and common n sense, concluded Mr. Henry. This is one of the biggest drives for accident prevention ever attemnted,” stated J. P. Bickell, Registrar of Motâ€" or Vehicles for the Ontario Govern- ment and a member of the Executive Committe. “We hope to make a per- manent impression so as to lessen ac- cidents. We believe that We have good laws and regulations. In addi- tion to a rigid enforcement of the law, we want to impress care, court- esy and common sense upon motorist and pedestrian alike. Brought to the Newmarket hospital Monday night with a bullet wound in his head' which extended from the left ear to the right temple, Wright Fuller of Lloydtown, regained consciousness later and is now reportedh on the road to recovery. The surgeons in charge state they have never known of a sim_ lilar case in which the patient lived. Fuller, who is a 65-year old widower was found in his home by neighbors, a gun lying beside him on the floor and a note on the table directing the disposal of his property. The doors of his home had all been locked and it was several hours before the neigh- bors alarmed by his non-appearance decided to break in. The bullet enter- ed the man’s head behind the left ear and came out at the opposite side near the temple. Aurora High School captured the Eckhardt Cup, awarded the champions at the big interâ€"school athletic meet held at the fair grounds at Newmark- et, in competition against four other High Schools last Saturday. Very close was the battle, Newmarket tieâ€" ing with Aurora with 116 points, and only Aurora’s supremacy in the two ‘major events of the day caused it to ‘win the coveted emblem. Markham gained 47 points and Richmond Hill 45. Newmarket boys, however, shone in the individual championships, Drury and Molyneaux being first and second respectively in the Junior. White of Richmond Hill and Williamson of Markham, tied for the senior, and Cora Goulding, of Aurora, was cham- pion seion girl with Hilda Tumelty, Newmarket, second, junior girl cham- pion senior girl with Hilda Tumelty, Thelma Day, same school, being runn- er up. Beautiful sunshine greeted the sec- ond and final day of the Wo‘odbridge fall Fair, Saturday and a crowd esti- mated at between twelve and fifteen thousand people took advantage of the fine weather to attend from all parts of the district. Probably this year’s Fair was one of the most suc- cessful, if not the most successful, the Fair board has ever staged, although on Friday, when rain fell all day, it \vas thought the Fair would be a fi_ nancial loss.
