Minister of Highways, the Hon. T. B. McQuesten, is making appeal to motorists on the score of courtesy in the hope and expectation that there will be some reduction in the heavy lists of casualties as a result of automobile acci- dents on the highways of Ontario. No better campaign could be launched than this one which has as its object greater safety in' riding and banishment of the terrible fear which many motorists must have that something is going to happen through some one’s thoughtlessness or otherwise 0n the roads. In fact Mr. McQuesten is appealing to the car driver on one of the noblest motives in human natureâ€"the de- sire to be considered courteousâ€"to be gentlemanly. He feels that if every car operator drove as he wishes every- one to drive on the highways there would be a great re- duction in the loss of life and the suffering of victims of accidents. The Province has provided good highways for the peo- ple and their guests, the tourists. The Province is supply- ing supervision of the roads which should be adequate. Municipalities are making every effort within their boun- daries to eliminate the danger by the placing of signs and by setting out rules and enforcing them in a way to make driving safe for other drivers, for the drivers themselves and for the walking public. That legâ€"al side has been often stressed. Now this other appeal is being madeâ€"this time to the innate courtesy with which most people are at heart blessâ€" ed. Drive as you would have the other driver drive. This is just an application of the golden rule of life to motorâ€" mg. ’9 These appeals are being made through this neWSpaper as well as through all the newspapers of the province in a series of advertisements by the Ontario Highways De- partment. It is in fact an educational campaign in good ethics of the roadâ€"stressing a selfâ€"imposed task to be a good and careful driver. It is hoped through the coâ€"oper- ation of every individual driver and pedestrian and parent with regard to children, that the “Try Courtesy” campaign will bring success. So The Liberal urqu every operator and pedestrian to act in the spirit of the golden rule on the highways and streets. No one will suffer if the golden rule is carried out in its fullness. If the golden rule is not applied some one will suffer and suffer heavily. When one follows the golden rule he finds that the selfishness of the highway users does not seem so great and if everyone were to put into action that precept the highways would not have the undesirable record they now have. . The “’D'y Courtesy” appeal advertisements are very instructive, containing a great deal of information and sound advice. Most motorists have their notions on the ethics of driving and walking on highways and roads but do not put them into such striking form as that which the Hon. Mr. McQuesten has seen them and pointed them out in this series of advertisements. He notes that driving with courtesy works two ways, it helps to save the other party and it saves the driver himself. Courtesy is the mark of a true gentleman. The Minister has also made an appeal to the pedestrian to follow the rules, for the motorist expects the pedestrian to obey the rules. If the pedestrian does not there may be an accident. This “Try Courtesy” campaign will raise the safety of the highways if the people will but follow the advice. An unusual experiment was tried out at Queen’s Park a few days ago, and the result was even more successful than the experimenter had hoped for. It was a simple problem in arithmetic. ‘ Could a municipality, if it were driven to it, find money which they had sworn could not be found without ruining the budget for the fiscal year? Covéring Canada’s Best Suburban District Advcfising Rates on Application. TELE Hon. David Croll, Minister of Welfare and Municipal Affairs, said yes, it could be done. York Township Counâ€" cil shrieked that it was an impossibility, that water could not be drawn from a stone, that every last dollar had been used up in maintenance of vital services. But the minister smiled pleasantly and said: “Gentle- men of York Township. You are short $195,000 for re- lief. If this money is not raised. there will be a 5.3 mill rate levied against the township. I am open to receive suggestions.” LdUlCB UL 11:.UACO uuu ULAuLL uuuovv~y “as. ~.-._--‘ ,V for spots where they could trim. And lo and behold, they found plenty. They found dozens of places where they could save money without affecting vital services; they discovered that for years they had been spending more money than was absolutely necessary â€"- but all these things they did not find out until a whip was cracked over their heads. So the experiment proved successful. Where there is a will there is a way, keeping in mind, of course, that Ne- cessity is the Mother of Invention. For years York Town- ship and other suburban municipalities, have cried aloud to the heavens that they were stoney broke. Governments took them at their word, until Mr. Croll decided to try his Great Experiment. Then it was discovered that fin- ancial embarrassment is only a comparative term. East York is in the same position as York Township. They are short on funds for relief. So down to Queen’s Park they went and Mr. Croll told them what he had told the larger township of York. “Go home and look over your budget and see what you can save,” directed Mr. Croll. East York went home and did some figuring and they, too, made the startling discovery that economies could be effected without a very big headache. r quack to their council rooms went the gloomy town- ship officials. They called in the underlings with their tables of figures and their budgets, _a_nd stfiyted to ‘look Established 1878 AN INDEPENDENT WEEKLY PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY AT RICHMOND HILL THE LIBERAL PRINTING CO., LTD.

Tho miracle is the sight of dollars sprouting where no dollars ever sprouted before. PAGE TWO THURSDAY, JULY 30th, 1936 A CROLL ACHIEVEMENT “THE LIBERAL” “TRY COURTESY” TELEPHONE 9.

The Vic- toria Rifles of Canada, which sup- plied the Guard of Honor when the first train for the Pacific left 50 years ago, again supplied the Guard of Honor under Col- onel I. W. Eakin. The band of the regiment, in addition to its concert music, played God Save the King as the Guard presented arms when the anniversary train pulled out. The long association ‘of the Company and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police was recâ€" ognized by Canada’s great force. A detachment of the Mounties took part in the ceremonies, and added a much reminiscent of prairie and mountain construcâ€" tion days. The celebration was continued at Ottawa and all main-line points west to Vancouver and thousands came dOWn to the sub- urban stations to catch a fleeting glimpse of the decorated anni- versary train.
