On June 19th the electors of Ontario irrespective 01 former political affiliation Went to the polls and in no un- certain voice voted to put an end to bad government in the province of Ontario. The revelations of maladministration which have come to light since Mr. Hepburn assumed the premiership is convincing evidence that the people made no mistake and that a change was long overdue. The electors rose to the occasion on June 19th and they again will meet the challenge on September 24th, and refuse to place their stamp of approval on the record of the Bennett government. A great deal depends on the outcome of the voting on Sept. 24th. The election of a Bennett candidate would be a man- date for the present government at Ottawa to continue for another ear its policies which have strangled trade, ruined business, driven people from their homes and farms. The election of the Liberal candidate would be a demand for a new deal and the introduction of policies which are in the interests of the great masses of the people. Make no mis- the people of this country in the grip of the most terrible economic depression ever experienced in Canada’s history. On Sept. 24th the people of North York in common with the electors of four other Ontario constituencies have the opportunity of passing judgment on the Bennett govern- ment which was elected in the promising campaign of 1930. Mr. Bennett was elected in 1930 on his promises, but on September 24th he must stand on his record of performance His actual performance has been so vastly different from his rash promises made in 1930 that there is little doubt as to the verdict of the electors. take on Septembâ€"er 24th. BEAT BENNETT AND HARD TIMES. , gfi-file higliwleQib-(lay jchatvhave not travelled over the 35 mile limit. There is seldom a car passes through Bowman- ville that observes the 20 mile limit. n" question then is what is to be done about this mat- ter. Should the law be amended to meet public require- ments or should it be enforced as it now stands on the sta- tutes. It seems quite apparent, that like prohibition, this law is not and cannot be enforced. The remedy seems to be an open law stipulating that cars must be driven‘ at a safe speed, which would be arrived at according to the circum- stances. There are times when it is positively dangerous to idle along the highway at 20 miles per hour, and likewise there are times when a speed of 50 or 60 miles per hour can- not be tolerated. Throughout Ontario, on public highways outside of incorporated municipalities jurisdiction, there is a speed limit of 35 miles per hour. In most municipalities 20 miles limit is imposed in the interests of safety to children. I 1,,1 The question boils down to one basic fact. Automo- biles are made and advertised to do speeds up to 80 miles per hour. Are manufacturers to be forced to make cars that will not exceed the stipulated rate of speed or are our laws to be made more reasonable. On a clear highway, a light traffic there is not the slightest danger in travelling along at 45 or 50 miles per hour, providing driver is alert at his task. Traffic officers should be given power to determine when a driver is driving at a speed dangerous to public safety, but no set rule can determine what isvdangerous. It is understood that in Eng- land and other countries where there is no speed limit there is no great slaughter of humans by granting permission to drive at higher speeds, but within the limits of public safety JAWAV -u ‘---rv~v" __- -___ There is no doubtâ€"ficheisrbeth these laws are violated hundreds of times every day. There are few. if any: cars This is the season of the year when many barn fires occur and farmers naturally are very much concerned re- garding possible losses to property which usually come dur- ing threshing operations. Recently a Grimsby farmer suffered a $10,000 loss when his large barn was burned following an explosion be- lieved to have been caused by gases forming and igniting straw and accumulated dust in the threshing machine. Mr. J. H. Woods, manager of the North Waterloo Farmers’ Mu- tual Fire Insurance Company and a former successful W001- wich Township farmer, inspected the loss. at Grimsby for his Company. He reports that the fire was directly caused by dust and static which ignited when it passed through the thresher. Farmers, he said, had been warned over a period of years and urged not to allow threshing machines to operate on their farms unless equipped with a proper spray- er at the base of the blower and grounding of the metal parts of the machine. If these precautions are taken, de- clared Mr. Woods, farmers need not fear a fire loss from this source; The electors of North York on September 24th have an opportunity of expressing their disapproval of the policies of the Bennett administration at Ottawa which have held At the meeting of the Underwriters’ Association held at Toronto this year, Prof. W. C. Blackwood, B.A., B.Sc., of the Ontario Agricultural College at Guelph, touched on the points referred to by Mr. Woods. He said that barn fires can be fully eliminated as far as losses by spontaneous com- bustion or at threshing is concerned, if farmers would in~ sist on threshing machines being equipped with a suction spray attachment and grounding of metal parts. Hay must also be salted when storing it in their barns. Whether the cause of fires be spontaneous combustion, smoking, careless use of matches, defective lighting equip- ment, careless use of modern equipment in hay making and curing, or careless handling of inflammable materials, the farmer and thresher must accept the responsibility for con- trolling these fire hazards.
