Box 1 19 Phone AD. 0467 In conjunction with the municipal- ities of Leaside, Scarborough, and East York, plans are underway to establish central Police Chambers in East York. The new location will save much time in travelling. The Attorney General‘s Department con- sider the move most favourably and ha've volunteered to provide the ma- g'istrate, attorney and clerk. In re- ply to Councillor Wicks enquiry con- cerning the quickest means of con- tacting tfhe Township police force, Reeve Griffin informed him that the men could be located by day through the Clerk’s office, and at night through the switchboard operators, who were kept notified as to their locale. The question of mobile tele- phones for police cars was introduced 'by Mr. Wicks and council decided to investigate the cost and invite the Bell Telephone to review the system at some future meeting. (Continued from page 1) A special license for taxi-cab own- ers and drivers was next discussed, and it was agreed that a charge of $15.00 for owners and $2.00 for (iriâ€" vers was a fair rate. Reeve Griffin expressed concern over the fact that- t‘he Round-the-’l‘own radio-pperated Taxi from headquarters at the City limits, is in a position to compete against the Thornhill Taxi which had built up ‘dhc business locally. He con- sidered that some protection should be given the Township Taxis. When yo’ stop to think a Lion hez no political beliefs â€"â€" no religious beliefs â€" no class ideas. But, he does in general hev very definite loyalties. First off, he believes in God. He believes in kind words and good deeds -â€" in help for the helpless â€" in doin’ his best in his job of jes't livin’. He generally is a peace lovin’ feller who will fight like all git out fer what he believes is the right. He’s the good husband an’ father an’ the type of neigh- bor thet yo’ admire an’ respect. He pays his bills and preaches the doctrine of thrift. All in all, he is a pretty average feller â€" the real good American â€"â€" or Canadian â€"â€" or European â€"â€" or cit- izen of the world. He’s the feller whose ideas are as broad as the smile he usually carries around with him. Y‘o’ got a lot to live up to in bein’ a Lion. How are yo’ handlin’ the job? M ARKHAM TOWNSHIP COUNCIL This apparent slight reduction in traffic deaths would be a negligible achievement, were it not for the fact that we are now facing the greatest traffic hazards in Ontario’s history. There are over 1,200,000 people in this Province who are licensed to drive cars, and more than 900,000 registered vehicles. Together with the cars of an unprecedented number of visiting tourists, these vehicles travelled during 1948 an estimated 71/; billion miles on our streets and highways. I 2 In this year, 1949, the hazards will be even greater. An ever Widening circle of supporters and helpers must be enlisted in the war on accidents. More and more people are coming to recog nize the dangers and responsibilities involved in motor vehicle travel. The continued co-operation of motorists, pedestrians, service clubs, associations, private companies, teachers, police, press and radio stations in the provincial traffic safety program is vitally important. Let’s keep up the good work. There is a big job to be done, and it can be done if we, as individual drivers and pedestrians, realize that accidents can only be stopped by our own care, con- sideration for others and proper respect for the traffic laws. And it can be done if we all. as citizens, give suppont and encourage- ment to every safety measure that is taken in our own commun- ities, and to every effort that is made to develop greater cons- !9 “YOU'VE GOT TO LIVE UP . . - I From The Lions Roar. Collinsgwood, N. J. The human race is a funny lot. Because of certain beliefs mankind hez a penchant fer formin' in groups where other men _havin’ the same beliefs make pleasant company. Hence, we hev political parties â€"â€" Church sects â€"â€" labor guilds - literary groups â€"etc. An’ each feller is so all-fired proud of his affiliation that he wears a pin or badge thet the world might know how he stands. We know what a vegetarian believes â€"- or a Republican â€" or a Baptist. But a neighbour of ours asked a question thet wuz a puzzler fer the minute. He sex, “What are the beliefs of a Lion Ontario’s highway safety programme finds 'its ultimate test in the grim record of deaths and human suffering on our streets and highways. Transportation is of vital importance to the future develop- ment and growth of Richmond Hill and the whole district north of Toronto, and the kind of transportation we are going to have is a problem to face up to in the not too distant future. The present trial bus operation should be deser observed by all in- terested in the district as the ratepayers soon will have the res- ponsibility of voting to determine the kind of transportation to serve North Yonge Street. ' The knownflead from traffic accidents in the past 12 months total 729 persons. Let there be no mistake about the fact that such needless slaughter of so many men, women and children is an indictment against our age. But at the same time, despite more motor traffic than‘EVEr before. this loss for 1948 is lower by five human lives than the record of the year before. It is also 72 below the 1941 total of 801 victims. Here is a certain evidence that lives can be saved; that enough continuing effort by many officials, priyate organiza- tions and citizens can succeed in making our streets and highways safer places to drive and walk. ILIUD, auu I,\J yvv;_y vlLv‘v VA...» -.._V ciousness of safety in people’s minds. Transportation on North Yonge Street for the past couple of months has been provided by diesel busses substituting for the regular radial service in order to save electric power. While the power situation is considerably improved we hope the commission will continue to operate the busses for a reasonable length of time, in. all kinds of weather and traffic conditions so that this type of transportation will get a real trial on Yonge Street.- For many years there has been suggestions that busses should replace the radial cars and the street cars have had many staunch defenders as a safe reliable means of transportation at a reasonable cost. The district has been served by radials for many years and people are familiar with the type of service they can give. Now that we have a bus service as an emergency measure is an excellent opportunity to give this kind of transpor- tation a real trial and determine whether or not it measures up to the needs of the district in comfort, dependability and cost.

A vote of appreciation was extended to Mr. James for his ser- vice in the school which he attended as a boy and served as trustee, just as his father did before him. Mr. James always attended all meetings and he'will be greatly missed. Mr. Norman Porter is serving his second year as public school trustee. Mr. W.

Mr. THE PRECIPK'E HUGH MCLENNAN Reviewed by Dora Lamb This is not on outstanding novel; as excellent as Barometer Rising 01 even TWO Solitudes, but nevertheless it is a most rewarding book for thosz. interested in the evolvement of tin Canadian character. The first half of the hook is devoted to a masterly description of life in an Ontario village steeped in the trn- ditions of the United Empire Loyal- ists and a stern Calvinistic code of morals. In this village, in the old homestead, live the three Cameron girls,vstill maintaining the prim Vic- torian respectability of their long. dead parents. Into this quite dull retreat Stephen Lassiter, an Ameri- can industrial expert makes his apâ€" pearance. The local industry has been taken over‘by an American firm and Stephen is the first emissary to ar- rive. In the course of time Stephen falls in love with Lucy Cameron, the most quiet and retiring of the Cam- erons, and to give yMr. MacLennan his due this is entirely plausible. Lucy and Stephen Imari‘y and leave the village for New York. “WMNQ”OOOOW § Houses Wanted The impact of New York's artific- iality is imperceptible at first for Lucy continues serenely happy in her marriage‘ but the unhappy war years make devastating inroads and the marriage faces disaster. Here, the story is slowed considerbly, if not en- tirely, by the lengthy meditations and monologues of various main charac- ters. llntensely interesting as most of the discourses are, they are hurt- ful to the structure of the story and the balance is destroyed. Finally the difficulties are resolved but in a curiously unsatisfactory way. We fEel that the author has not begun to answer the questions posed in the book. You have to see dzmze" to amid 2t.
