In 1927 these same youths have to hunt up something different, and instead of watching the village blacksmith sweat and fume as he nailed the No. 10's on the panting Clydesdales, the chief amusement would have to be to watch the village garageman screw nuts on the various departments of the modern automobile that hap- pened to need them at the time. TING-A-LlNGâ€"LING ’ ' SCHOOL’S IN AGAIN Various. Expressions Seen and Heard as Youth of Town Answer- ed Call of School Bell Tuesday Morning. This sport is over for this sea- son; the old swimmin’ hole is near- ly deserted, and from now until next June, with the exception of an odd few days in between, Mr. Schoolboy will have to ’tend to busâ€" iness if he wishes to appear on the right side of the ledger when the results come out next midsummer. School started Tuesday and it was? interesting to watch the various ex- pressions and listen to the difi‘erent comments as the future Sir Robert Falconers wended their ways along up Mill street to the “knowledge box” that. was to be their domicile the greater part of the time from now on. Some were pleased the holidays were over; others were openly rebellious and thought is a burning shame that such a pleasant summer should have so terrible an ending. while others were philoso- phienl enough to know that. it Could not he helped and they might as well make the best of it. Large Attendance Durham Schools have started oil with a reem'd attendance. though it is more than probable that many more will commence next week. In the Public school there were well over 300 at school the first day, while the High school had upwards of 130. with more to come. There is every probability that the latter school will be crowded for a time, but as the work on the new addition is 1:)1'ogressing.r satisfactor- ily, there is every hope that. it will be. ready for occupancy before the snow flies. We have not been intouch with Principal Robb, but understand that the High school this year will take up every subject taken by any other school and that with the completion of the school this fall Durham will be back on the map as the centre of ec'lueation for this part of the county. a position which never would have been wrestecl from her had there been more farsightedness in evidence when the first school building was erected about eleven years ago.

The Fall Fair is a district enterprise and should receive the patronage of the district if they are to prosper. . Two weeks from yesterday the South Grey Fair will be held in Durham. The last and big day of the she“ is on the 21st inst and this year given good weather the attendance should break all pre- vious records. The South Grey Fair is truly an agricultural fair in every sense of the word. There is little of the Midway about it, but we say with confidence that there is not a tair in this part of the p10- \ince that devotes -1m01e energv to the showing of fagm p1oducts than that of__th_e South rey association. FALL FAIR SEASON NOW UPON US The summer is slipping. Once the Toronto Exhibition is over and the advertising for the local Fall Fairs is put on the boards it is but. a my” step from then until winter. The Holstein Fair is to be held on the 27th and 28th of this month. This has always oroved a most poi)â€" ular fair, not only for the Township of Egremont but. for _§ the surround- ing country as well. It, aiways gets a good attendance from Durham and the exhibits are second :0 none In the smaller fairs class. Priceville Fair comes on the 6th and 7th of October, and, like that at, Holstein. has been a pOpular one with Durham residents. The ex- hibits are always good and the en- tertainment all that could. be desir- m . The directors of the South Grey Fair this year in Durham have placed a card of horse racing among the sports and this feature, always pOpular in Durham and country roundabout, should draw a big crowd. Next Three Weeks Will See Wind- up of Most Local Fall Fairs.â€" Then Comes Fall and Winter. We hope to see large exhibits at all these exhibitions, a record at.- tendance onthe hig days, and if. these are forthcoming nothing can Attend Your Own Fairs GLARING HEADUGHTS ‘ ARE NOW TABOO The patience of the Department of Highways has at last ceased to be a virtue and commencing the end of this week all tratfic officers have been instructed to’ chem: up those who drive with glaring headlights, others whose tail-lights are not in worktng order, and still others who go through the country with only one headlight burning. Heretofore the Department has been content to warn motorists who drive their cars in this condition, but from now on no warning is to be given, and infringers against this regulation will be brought before a magistrate and fined. So far, the warnings have had but little result The Chronicle, has been told and the Department has decided on the more drastic measure In their at- tempt to eliminate the greater per- centage of highway accidents at- tributable to this cause. Commencing End of This Week Traffic Ofllcers Will Pi‘osecute All and Sundry W’ho Persist in Driv- ing With Headlights Out of Focus.â€"Gampaign‘ Against Tail- Lights Also. . Traffic Otficer (1qu was in our office Tuesday of this week and‘ requested us‘to issue this warning to i our readers. “The fining or motor- is’ts who drive in contravention to. the law,” Officer Culp said, “is not that the Department wants the money, but rather to make an effort to curtail as far as possible the weekly toll of accidents that occur on the higlnvay.” Glaring Lights Cause Accidents Ninety per cent of the accidents such as collisions, running into the ditch, etc... have been proven, to be caused by glaring headlights, and meat. of the rear-end collisions have bt‘tll the result of the car ahead having no tail-light. The other twenty per cent of the accidents have been caused through too fast «ilriving. cutting in, and other care- lessness. Only a very small per- ccntage of accidents 18 caused by what might be designated as out of the human control of the driver. ‘80 long as motor cars are driven or machinery is run there is bound to he a certain number of “unavoid- able” accidents. but the large and increasing list of accidents and fa- talities in Ontario is unax oidable if motorists generally would see that. their headlights. are in prOper condition and use Ordinary caution esnccially inheavy traffic. 1- The Gl11111111i1le has been of the opinion t'11:.11 some time that its 1ead- 1111s 1.11111bably thought a good deal 111 the \V111n1n13s issued throngn this paper were manufactured in this otl'ice.

Frequent Inspection Necessary We have further been requested to infmm 0111111111ade1s that the matter of keeping lights in focus can be attended to at any of our local garages and at onlv a small cost. These inspections lime to be made frequently if the law is to be conformed with, as headlights will persist in going out of order at in- teiVals Constant tr'aVelling, the changing of a bulb and the motion of a car over a rough roadway are all factors in putting lights out of focus and for anyone doing any. considerable amount of travelling a monthly inspection might be 1a necessity. The proper focusing or adjusting of headlights does not. mean poorer lighting; in fact it, means better serVice, for instead of the light being deflected up into the trees 011 elsewhere. a properly foc- used lamp will play all the light on the ioadwav where it is most need- ed and at the same time the rays are so placed that they do not inter- few with an approaching car." If all motorists had the headlights preperly adjusted there would be no necessity of “dimming” and ap- proaching cars would skim by with full lights and no incon1-.enience11to the approaching car_ ___. n-‘ ‘ - .

NORMANBY YOUTH ACCIDENTALLY KILLED Died from Wounds Received When Rifle Exploded When Being Drawn Through Pence by Barrel. An unfortunate accident occurred in Normanbv on Saturday alternoon \xhen Joseph OBrien, aged 18 vears was fatally wounded \\ hen a rifle he was carrying was accidentally dis- charged. the bullet entering his. chest. A passing motovist. who came along at the time was quickly on the scene and started home with tiw injured boy. but he died when entering his own home gate only a few minutes after the accident. The veung man had gone hunting with mo bov triends and took a. calibre rifle. \\ hen getting through a fence he pulled the rifle through by the barrel. when the weapon was discharged and the bullet e11- tered his chest.

Supposing an average of four trains a day pass over the railways with these grade crossings. it means 120.000 chances for collision with motor or horse- drawn vehicles. However. it does not require any elaboration of sta- tistics to bring home the fact that every driver of motor or horse- drawn vehicle must. exercise the greatest caution when approaching level nailway crossings. The news- papers constantly record accidents at grade crossings. While nearly every grade crossing is marked for the benefit of users of the highways it is evident that more protection is required in many cases than simply the familiar warning sign. This perplexing problem Is now re- ceiving study by the officials of the Canadian Good Reads Association and it. will occupy an important part of the program at. the Associa- tion's annual convention at the Clifton House. Niagara Falls. on September 27. 28 and 29 and be given consideration at the next. in- terprovincial conference. Call for (Jo-operation ()tTit-ials of the Association take the groundthat the solution of. the grade-crossmg menace is essentially a matter for cuâ€"operation. The railways must be consulted. and in the past. both the big eanadian lines have demonstrated their will- ingness to act; in this respect and have «‘lelegated some of their elev- erest ekperts to give the problem their attention. Those who are ar- tive in municipal government must also be parties to a solution. because in most cases the expense in eon- nection with the elimination of grade crossings must. he shared by the municipalities. The Canadian Good Roads Association feels a di- rect. resyonsihilitx as. well. because a large part of the duty of the As- sociation to-day is t0 render safe for human beings the impoved high- ways already built. The Canadian Good Roads Associa- tion has sought. to co-ordinate the views of all i1‘1terested. To this end the cfl'orts of the Association’s "fact, finding" committee have been calla: into use. Every fact. in connection with grade, crossings in Canada. that it is possible to gather has been 1311- ulated and reviewed. Automotive engineers and railwaymen have con- trilg1uted important. information for the Committee's use, The uses of gates. tlagmen. wigwags and bells are all under consideration. and it is possible that. some (lelinite l‘e- con1n11-1ndations will he made short- ly. Admittedly the ideal solution is to have suhwavs or overhead l11i1lg'__'es tor \t‘lllt 11°l:11 trail'fe i1111l1ace ot e\ e1 )' g1tacle crossing. Nut on an th‘ufage it costs 3710.000 tn «le-E’raile :1 crossing. so that the expense of the complete ideal solution is pro- l1ihiti\'e for the time being. A Railway Test Recently a (‘ anadian ra1lw av made :1 t1 st of hell signals on one of its main lines. The bell was rung when no trains were near in order to see what motorists would do.
