The old idea of purely party organ is passingâ€"â€" yet every editor with a living soul is bound to be an influence on pub- lic questions. He cannot even give correct information without creating opinion. I sincerely believe the less well-known papers with local circuÂ¥ lation are still largely the power be- hind the throne. Creating that pub- lic opinionâ€"which the city papers and public men generally seek to re- flect and follow. It is therefore most important that the editors of these influential weekly journals should have freedom and courage. There need be nothing partisan in them. I am not an admirer of neu- trals. of the people. Their special sphere of information constantly includes the home, the school, the church and municipal government. A large and most important fact of life. It is important for the welfare of the peo- ple that the weekly press should con- tinue prosperous and influential.

The winner of the Cllltf award, W. C. Dunlop, London, Ontario, has driven a total of 688,000 miles in the past 14 years without even a minor accident. The four other a- ward winners have also b:en driving for periods ranging from 11 to 15 years distances totalling from 445,â€" 000 to 663,000 m'les, with unblem- ished safety records. These five winners are only the best representative transport drivers who have qualified for the difficult entrance requirements of the Legion of Safety. To qualify, a driver must drive his vehicle a minimum of 15,â€" 000 miles a year for at least the last five years without so much asa scratched fender. The Legion’s com- mittee, representatives of the Can- adian Automobile Chamber of Com- merce, the Ontario Safety League, the Society of Auto-motive Engineers and the Automotive Transport Asso- ciation of Ontario, checks all driv- ing records carefully and accepts no Miss Velma Carson gave an Exercise with motions. Vocal solos Were given Ontario streets and highways can be made safe, but the police cannot do the job themselves. It requires the coâ€"operation of every- driver.

BOBYK excuses to the effect that an ace}. dent was the fault of another dlriver. The iea‘ét accident, no matter whose the responsibility, amounts- to .& black ball in this exclusive club. These drivers, working in all kinds of weather and at all hours, realize that they have a duty in promoting‘ public safety. They do not think it! is smart to insist on their right of way, to beat traffic lights, to race trains to crossings. They remember that it will not console their wive! and children, if an accident shoulfl happen, to know that it Was another driver’s fault. The good driver’s responsibility involves more than being in the right himself. It also includes looking out for the careless and less experich drivers and doing his best to protufi them from the consequences of their lack of care. It includes respect M the folly as well as the rights of children and pedestrians. It include! obedience to the spirit as well an the letter of traffic regulations.
