U - Since 1914 the Turks, according to!` I g A view of speeding that seldom occurs to the motorist was mentioned - by Mr. McLeod at the meeting of the IMotor Vehicles Act committee on iTuesday. This was that the faster automobiles, particularly the large cars, travel the greater is the wear on the road. Anyone following a heavy car when the roads. are moist can very readily see how the suction of the non-skid tires raises the road surfacing. It is no wonder that _water- bound or oil-covered macadam issoon worn into holes. The damage done by excessive speed was recently pointp ed out by Hon. Mr. P'erran,head of the roads department for the pro- vince of Quebec, who said: I defy any contractor to maintain 1,500 miles of roads if automobile tourists A do not understand that they must not exceed the speed limit.

It was about thirty miles wide and reached a depth eventually of forty miles. Its breath of destruction was sudden and complete. With the ter- rific wind and the dry condition of . the country it was soon found `im- possible to save anything in the path of the flames. Haileybury was wiped out. It had been atown of prosper- ity and stabil_ity--one of about 3,500 people, practically all of whom were rendered homeless. Unfortunately. when the fire `struck the town the water supply failed and` in an hour or so the whole town disappeared `except a row" of about 35 houses which escaped the flames owing to a change in the direction of the wind. V People were driven into the lake for safety and the Premier observed that it was a great wonder that-there was not a greater loss of life.

He added that the damage caused to Quebec's roads from this\cause this season is not less than $2,000,000. Inictionof nes does not go far in remedying. the evil, as it cost the government $80,000 to enforce the speedlaws, while only $10,000 was collected in penalties.

The people of the North are trained to hardships as all pioneers are.

It was built to a 16X 12 size and lined on the outside with tar paper to _keep out the cold. r l: he three phases of relief work which have still to be carried on in- cluded supplies of food, clothes and building materials for. shelter. Food is urgently needed. It must not only -be supplied now but right along until next spring, for the people in the devastated areas have no means of support, and until their townsvcan be built up again and business re- established assistance will have to be lsupplied. _ Part of this will come lfrom the Government and part of it from the people of the province. "The Premier stated that he believed at least $1,000,000 is needed to cope with the situation as there are 10,- 000 homeless people to be looked after. . l - :0 `I, IA ,, 3, _,_,A,r,,_,j ~,,_ PAY NOW Anlfiii THE` rm PREMIUM; n /In the relief measures the Govern- ment had its own problem to face in the way of rehabilitation.
