May 1903 About 2:20 arn. Monday a double-bead- er freigbt train of 55 cars ran off tbe G.T.R. track just east of tbe base hune between Trafalgar and Esquesing and about a mile nortb of the Milton station. Seven cars were ditcbed aod some of ibein were badly smasbed. An empty car was tbrown over tbe feoce. A wrecking train was sooi5 at work, but tbe track was not clear until evening wben îraffic was resumed. Tbe only mnan burt was tbe conductor of tbe train, wbo received a sligbî eut on bis fore- bead. The cause of tbe accident is a matter of speculation. Alil along tbe lunes of tbe different railways tbe beat is playing bavoe witb tbe rails. la a number of cases tbe expansion bas been as great as tbree incb- es. 'Mis bas tbrown the track oui 10 sncb an extent tbat it takes bours for repairs. Trackmen are constantly engaged patrolling tbe lunes to straigbîcn tbe rails and put tbemn in ibeir proper place. Occasionally it is necessary to, cul as mucb as one or two incbes froîn rails hiath(ey may be kept in tbeir proper place.

The recent rise in tbe price of lum- MIton Capsules issue, says local MADD chapter presîdent ber, however, has been so great that a wooden walk now costs more iban 5(0 per- cent of tbe price of a pavement and our town counicil bas corne to the wise decision tbat it is time for a change.

Dear Editor: As active members of our com- munity, MADD's llalton/Peel cbapter wants to ensure ibat our local candidates in tbe upcoining lederal election make impaired dîîvîng a prionity isssue. lt's reoarkable ibat tbhe iumber one criîainal cause of' deatb in ('anada doesîî't receive more atten- tion Irons our federal meîabers of Parliament. Drinking and driving costs stîr communities far too, mucb pain and suflèring for tbe surviving victims, tbeir family members and friends. lits essential for our members of Parliament to act on MADD Canada's tbree-point policy agen- da. MADD Canada supporters are looking for a clear comîaitment frsîm our federal leaders in regard to tbree specifie areas. -Introduce a new .0(5 per cent Blcsod Alcobol Conîtent (BAC) Cniminal Code oflence and sanc- tions tbat will reduce impaired driving fatalities and create safer roads for ail miotorisis. Tbe MADD Canada proposaI for a new Criminal Code offence would introduce mensures tbat would get impaired drivers witb (07 per cent BAC readings and bigber off tbe rsîads, and tbe impaired motorists wsuld be ticketed with a summary conviction offeisce. -Enhance police powers to better enable Canadian law enforcement agencies to effectively apprebend and cbarge impaired drivers. Police must be given tbe necessary tools -including current tecbnology to deteet and apprebend impaired drivers, as well as the appropriate statutory autbority and a stream- mcnd charges process to ensure moiire effective eîîforcemenî and prosecutioîs. -Address sentencmng issues for impaired driving tbat are making a mockery of' our Canadian judicial system. MADD Canada wants conditional sentences eliminated for tbe crimes of impaired drivîng causing deatb and impaired driving causing bodily barm. lmpaired driving reinains tbe number one criminal cause of deatb in Canada. It kilîs an average of four Canadians a day and seri- ously injures another 200 daily. la our own community, impaired driving bas caused irreparable grief. 'Mis crime is a national tragedy and it demands action from our elected representatives. There are impaired driving solu- tions that nur future members of Parliament can move on. We're askiag our local representatives to commit to stopping tbis violent crime during the election campaign - and act on tbeir commitmenîs once elected.
