SMITH, M.l‘., Publisher Local Traffic Law Enforcement “Look out or the bogey man will get you I" The “bogey man" in this case is Richmond llill‘s constable, l'. C. Frank Moore. Normally the mOst courteous. good-tempered and tactful of policemen, P. (T. Moore is proving that when necessary he can enforce regulations with an iron hand. ofl'cnders who are receiving summonses because of speeding on Yonge Strect within village limits is an indication of that fact. Joining in the all-out drive against speeding which is being carried on on all provincial highways. l’. (7. Moore has recently bccn carrying out ott‘icial and properly conducted speed tests. 'l'hcse. as reported elsewhere, have resulted in a considerable number of summonses being issued. It is noticeable that very few local residents. so far, have found themselves in the clutches of the law. (‘an this mean that our local drivers are above the ‘l\'I‘I'llfJ,t‘ in their observance of traffic laws? Or does it mean that they are lucky enough not to have been caught? Ill any event they had better look out for the “bogey man." as it is inâ€" licaled that the drive against speeding is not a temporary one but will be continuous. i Every one of the many citizens who are aware of the clan gers inherent in speeding will. we feel sure, join with us in ex- pressing appreciation of the move to ensure safe and sane driving .ind the safety of our inhabitantsand visitors. As for the others â€" well, their contributions to municipal finances will be gladly l‘ct‘e.\cd. Richmond Hill‘s narrow main street calls for the exercise of 'nore-than-ordinary precautions. Speeding outside the village is dangerous â€"â€" inside village limits it is hazardous to an extreme degree. While on the subject of traffic regulations, we suggest that attention to those outside truckers who play fast and loose with commonsense rules might well be increased. The habit of park- ing delivery trucks in the centre of the street is a dangerous one. We recall a recent Saturday morning when the heavy flow of traffic was confined to one narrow lane in the centre of the street doc to the parking of large delivery trucks outside the recognized cIOse-to-curb area. The practice of other truckers in parking tacing the wrong direction, meaning that they create an addition- al 1 Iiic hazard while pulling in and out, is one which might well be cured by the application Of a dose of blue paper. Poor Juvenile Sportsmanship a “Can we help you‘?‘ was the question put to a prominent citizen by a couple of teenâ€"agers as he slugged away at his hot a‘nd voluntary job in the ring at the Lions Club Horse Show on the aftcincon of Civic Holiday. - ' They were told that they could help, but that there was no money In it. Their exact answer, given as they walked away. was "To hell with it.” There is something more to this than a regrettable display of bad manners. Apparently these youngsters did not know or did not care that the work being performed by the citizen men- tioned and several score others like him â€"â€" was being done largely for their benefit. _ The record of the Richmond Hill Lions; Club and of all other Lions Clubs in this district in assisting in sports and other activ- .tics for the younger people of this area has been a commendable .nic. Requests for assistance in the provision of playing fields and equipment have met with a generous and willing response. Often the assistance has preceded the request â€" spurred by the generous and sportsman like interests of the business men who l'orm these clubs. It's a mighty poor recompense when men who sacrifice time and effort on behalf of their younger compatriots receive such a :hurlish acknowledgcment. We do not for a minute suggest that this attitude is common to all the younger citizens of Richmond Hill and this district. But unfortunately it is sufficiently in 3videncc to call for comment.

A few weeks ago this paper expressed its strong L'Oll\'l(‘~ gions regarding the futility of creating the new highway from l'oronto to Barrie while Highways No. 11 and 27 were so badly u need of attention. It described the project as another of the “cartâ€"bct‘ore-horse" brain waves of a Department of Highways which appeared to be unable to face realities. Further point is given to our contentions by more accidents T l ’ S .H on No. 27 highway â€" accidents which we believe could have been s prevented by some of the dollars and work which have been pourâ€" , . , . . ‘ ad into the "fifth wheel" road-toâ€"be which has swallowed up so 2nd Umcessmn “hitchurch much of the taxpayers‘ money. 1!"; miles north of Lake Wilcox The new clover-leaf which will take care of the intersection of No. 7 highway and the new road will doubtless be a beautiful piece of work.
