IAGE TWO - Motorists who travel on Yonge Street and on other, im- portant highways will be interested in new legislation enactâ€" ed in the Indianna legislature which takes the onus of reâ€" sponsibility from the driver of _a car in the case of injury to those who are riding with him. In Ontario and most states of the Union the driver of an automobile is responsible for the safety of those who ,ride with him and for this reason many hesitate to offer transportation to those whom they might like to accommodate or those who hail the driver in seeking a “lift” along the highway. Cases have been re- ported where the‘ driver of a car kindly tendered a ride to a wayfarer and was sued for damages after an accident. To correct this situation the Indianna legislature has passed a law this year, which says: ,_ V _ That no person who is transpOrted by the owner or op- erator of a motor vehicle, as his guest, Without payment for such transportation, shall have a cause of action for damages against such owner or operator, for injury, death or loss, in case of accident, unintentional on the part of such owner or operator or caused by his reckless disregard of the rights of others. . Most people will approve of that, for the reason, if for no other, that most people are now automobile drivers. Let those who borrow rides at least carry their own insurance. ARE YOU A CAREFUL DRIVER? The perils of motoring have been strikingly brought home to us during the past few months by the many high- way smashes. Every day the need for utmost care on the part of every motorist‘is emphasized by one or more such ac- cidents that bring sadness to loved ones and make one stop to wonder Where the toll will end.

Official figures for the firorince of Ontario show that almost 1200 persons were killed on the highways in the past three years. ‘ AI_n_ 1926 a total of 298 lives were taken in this n :- A,1:L:.- ..A..A 4,.

The annual increase is due to the increasing number of motors with no corresponding diâ€" minution of negligence and recklessness. ‘ ‘ ' “ ' I 1”; L a. - .J uuuuuun v; AAMEAAvaAvu “-u. - -v--- In behooves ’every driver of a car to become imbued with the realization that he or she is responsible for reduc- ing the number of accidents to a minimum. “Care, Court- esy and Commonâ€"sense” is an excellent motto by which to be guided while driving on the crowded highways. Would that every motorist might heed it! The Metropolitan Radials appear to be enjoying a gen- erous patronage this season. When you see the cars well filled despite the fact that busses are operated in opposition to them it is convincing evidence that the people want rad- ials and not busses. Why not take off the busses and give the cars a fair chance to make a good showing. A number of commendable constructive suggestions were made at the last regular meeting of the town council. It was regrettable that the members adjourned without tak- ing some action on them. Playground equipment for the children and numbers for the houses were two suggestions which merited more serious attention than was given and it is hoped that the members of council will see fit to. reconsidâ€" er thesequestions at a future meeting. Although the season is advancing there are no Visible signs of any activity on the part of the township councils concerned and the Ontario Department of Highways to pro- vide sidewalks for Yonge Street. It is regrettable that this important work is so delayed to the inconvenience‘and dang- er of all who use the Highway. Sidewalks for Yonge street are a necessity and the sooner the bodies responsible face the issue fairly and squarely will a very dangerous condition be remedied.

Editor Liberal, Sir;â€" I was gratified to read in your last week’s issue that our town fathers had at. last reached the point where they are considering the numbering of the houses. It is a necessity which has too long been delayed as I assure you it is very inconvenient for anyone who is not familiar with the place to find people here. When they are at it why not go ahead with the move made a few years ago to change the names of some of our streets, substituting attractive names for some of the pre- sent very ordinary names which cor- respond with none too_selected distâ€" ricts in the city of Toronto. Thank- ing you for the space in your paper and for the invitation which you so kindly give your readers to expreSS opinions in your columns.

Miss Ethel Mortson in few well chosen words spoke of Miss Gee’s untiring interest in the Branch, since its organization in 1927 and of the pleasure it gave the members to show their appreciation of her services in this small way. MiSS ,Gee made a suitable repl thanking the members for their sup ort in the past, and as- suring all that she had found great pleasure in the association.

'1. would like to suggest a sort of wig-i wag signal something similar to that used at railway crossings. It could be erected at both entrances to the town and would draw forcibly to the atten- tion of every motorist that they were ientering a traffic danger Zone. I a- ‘gree with safety first that what wei [need is some means of forcibly im- pressing motorists that the speed lim- i it through Richmond Hill is twenty imiles per hour. If thus forcibly ibrought to their attention I believe eighty per cent of the motorists would observe the speed limit. The other 1twenty per cent. we could introduce to our magistrate.
