I pray Almighty God that the words I write in this house may be pure and honestâ€"that they be dictated by no personal spite, un- worthy motive or unjust greed for gain; that they may tell the truth as far as I know itâ€" and tehd to promote love and peaceâ€" amongst “Dangerous curve ahead,” “steep hill,” “caution, road under repair,” “do not park near corner” these and other similar signs along the motorists strange route merit his reâ€" spect and obedience. They are placed there, in most cases, because experts who have made a study of the existing situ- ation know it to be dangerous. , At preseent, it is pointed out by a recent writer, rail- roading is safer than banking or any other important calling. A passenger on a railroad train is safer than he would be sitâ€" ting in his own home or attending the movies. Many large systems go a whole year Without killing a passenger. Unfortunately, it is not always respect and obedience that are accorded the warning signs. Whatever the reason, one does not have to travel far to see a fellow motorist at- tempt to take the “dangerous curve” at 45 or 50 miles an hour or to go down the steep grade at about fifty. And furthermore, one sees this foolhardy motorist “get by” with his indiscretion. ustration: “Where’s the steep hill that I was supposed to drive slowly on in second,”\asked a motorist as he pulled up to a filling station located in the Alleghany mountains. “You just came down it,” said the station attendant. “Well, what’s steep about that hill? asked the motorist. “Nothin’,” replied the attendant enigmatically, “except that five people were killed in a car that overturned on it last night. The driver probably wondered what was steep about it, too.” Nowadays, the dangers of travel are confined almost exclusively to the deadly motor car. PAGE TWO At this the commencement of another school year ‘every boy and girl should resolve to make the most of school days. School days wasted, studies neglected mean life crippled and robbed of capacities never by any later diligence entirely re-- covered. Safety measures have achieved even greater compara- tive results with respect to railroad employees. A reduction of 27 per cent in the number of casualties to railroad work- ers was attained last year. It is figured that on an average one of these would be able to work 120 years for each accid- ent that would happen to him. In contrast with the ever increasing number of automo- bile deaths, fatal accidents to passengers on railways of the country have dwindled almost the vanishing point, due to better equipment and the greater exercise of, safety precauâ€" tions. Based on the experience of a leading transcontinental railroad a passenger can travel around the world 2,400 times without an accident, and many times that far without being killed. One of the greatest gifts of Canada to its boys and girls is the opportunity to obtain an education granted freely to everyone. Schools throughout the County opened on Tuesday and pupils and teacher are by now well started on another term’s work. The annual pilgrimage back to school impresses on all the important place in the life of every community which the school playsâ€"and that whether it be the little one room red school house or the modern structures of which the largâ€" er centres justly boast. It is fitting that “God’s Acre” should be the scene of at least an annual pilgrimage of those who desire to pay respect and honour to those who have “gone before.” There lie many Whose deeds in the past have contributed a great deal to the’life of this community. There in the silent city undâ€" er the arching canopy of God we find reared in reverence monuments to the honored deadâ€"the 'men and the women who laid the foundation of the freedom and priviliges we en- joy to-day. There monuments dot the grassy spaces, green to the memory of those _Who are<g0ne. We are pleased to announce elsewhere in this issue that Decoration Day will be observed at the Richmond Hill Ceme- tery, Sunday, September 14th.. The annual decoration day has long been an institution in many communities and .the fact that it has not been held in Richmond Hill at least for some years, only adds to the satisfaction Which the announ- cement brings. Let us pause on Sundéy to honor their memory, the mem- ory of those who builded the nation of our inheritance.
