Magistrate Atkinson, called upon last week at Kirkland Lake to try an unusually long list of charges of reckless driving and other traffic cases, gave stern warning that he planned to adopt seâ€" vere methods to cope with the constantly growing menace of the reckless and the careless driver. He said that not only would fines be increased but prison terms would also be imposed on reckless and drunken drivers. Few will question the value of a tighteningâ€"up of the law in such cases. The North Bay Nugget is one of the few doubting the efficacy of more severe sentences. The Nugget thinks that suspension and cancellation of licenses would prove a more effective remeay for the preâ€" sent dangers of the roads. Suspension and cancelâ€" lation of drivers‘ permits have been used for some time as a remedial measure. Perhaps,. a more genâ€" eral use of this procedure would have salutary efâ€" fect. The more widespread its use however, the more difficult it would be to make it effective. There would need to be very drastic penalties for driving without a permit to give any proper effectiveness to the suspension or cancellation plan, and that would be simply following the meaures suggested by Magistrate ‘Atkinson. One point that has not been sufficiently stressed, though it has been mentioned on more than one occasion in the Advance, is the responsibility of the government. In many of the fatalities on Northern Highways, it has been shown that a contributing cause to the accidents has been the condition of the roads. One coroner‘s jury was told recently that â€"and there is no doubt but that it didâ€"it was worth while. The "Horror‘"‘ campaign will also have its helpful effects. If people can be made to realize the desperate seriousness of the matter, some good may result. But neither "Courtesy‘" nor "Horror" campaigns will fully rid the land of the terrible toll of deaths from the highways. The Department of Highways has asked for sugâ€" gestions and coâ€"operation in the earnest effort being made to reduce the terrible death toll folâ€" lowing accidents on the highways of the province. There should be a generous and general response from all who have studied the problem and the general public should give the fullest coâ€"operation in reducing the ghastly toll of deaths. It is tacitly admitted that the "Try Courtesy" campaign has not succeeded. The recent deaths on the highway even appear to show an increase in numbers. What is termed a "Horror" campaign is contemplated. Under this campaign various methods will be used to emphasize the tragedy, the gruesomeness, the death, that camps on the trail of improper driving. It is doubtful if this plan will fully succeed. Despite the apparent failure of the "Courtesy‘" campaign, there is reason to believe it did some good. If it prevented even a few accidents It is a commonplace to say that crime does not pay. The case of Szymonski gives striking emphasis to that truth. The life of a brute ended in the death of a bruteâ€"the burial befitting a brute. Perhaps the greatest penalty that the man paid for his war against humanity was that he died without a friendâ€"was buried without a friend. In all the world there is no sadder fate for man. This was the end of this man‘s life of 58 years. He seemed to have spent his life at war with his fellows. Many of his crimes were brutal ones. The killing of Sergeant Davidson at Sudbury, for which Szymonski and Pornomorenka were hunted like wild beasts, seemed to be typical of the attitude of this man. It was a cruel, cowardly, callous crime, without necessity or excuse. And after death Szymonski was even more alone. It is true that over seven hundred persons sought permission to view the body as it rested in the funeral home, but they were all morbid seekers of sensationâ€"not a friend in the lot. The authoriâ€" ties did right to refuse the curiousâ€"minded (and what an apt word that is for the people concerned). Victor Szymonski was buried in Sudbury‘s potâ€" ter‘s fieldâ€"without benefit of clergyâ€"no friend by the gravesideeâ€"â€"no marker for his tombâ€"buried like an animal. There are few men or women who do not have some friendsâ€"some to sorrow with them in their troublesâ€"some to weep for them should they die. To the average*tman it seems the saddest thing to see a man absdlutely friendless. Yet that was the fate of Victor Szymonski, alias Victor Gray, slain by police bullets in the gunfight in the rock cut near Nairn Centre last Thursday morning. Even his partner in crime, Pornomarenka, who no doubt had joined in the oath that they should die togethâ€" er rather than fall again into the hands of the police, gave himself up when he was wounded and saw the odds were heavy against them. It is doubtâ€" ful if he knew Szymonski was dead, or if he parâ€" ticularly cared, He had himself to look after. In death Szymonski was aloneâ€"friendless.

As one man said when The Globe and Mail deal went through:â€""A millionaire and his money are soon through parted." A Timmins man once seemed to hold the record ! of being the youngest grandfather, but he must | give way to A. R. Buell, of Gananoque, Ont.., who has a granddaughter nine months old, although he still is only 35 years old himself. This may not be a world‘s record. but it will do till one is established. ! Meaford, Ontario, claims that a 29 was taken some days ago from Meafc does Meaford think it is? The Sault? To many it may appear like a brand new form of racket, but there is an old Scottish story to disprove the claim. A Scotsman gave his tenâ€"yearâ€"old son a dollarâ€"believe it or not. Young Sandy promptly went to a store and changed the dollar into copâ€" pers. Then he went to a second store and had the coppers changed back to a dollar blil. Next he visitâ€" ed a third store and asked for coppers in place of his dollar. The coppers were changed into a dollar and the dollar into coppers so often that eventuâ€" ally people noticed and informed the father about what was going on. Young Sandy explained to his father that hne was just seeing how often he could change the dollar into coppers and the coppers back into a dollar. "But what earthly sense is there in such nonsense?" the father sternly asked. ‘"Weel," replied young Sandy, "sooner or later somebody is gaein ta mak a mistake, and it‘s no gaein ta be me!" It won‘t be long now until some people in Timâ€" mins will be able to say with truth:â€""I own a share of every producing mine in the Porcupine." The alleged new racket at North Bay was aired in police court and the racketeer was sentenced to ten days in jJail. "This is the meanest, paltriest of tricks," said Magistrate McCurry. "I think it is nothing but sneakery." No one can find fault with the magistrate‘s judgment in the matter, though there may be a question about his grammar. The racketeer‘s game was to change a dollar bill, reâ€" ceiving quarters in change. He then substituted a large nickel for one of the quarters, and would make a profit of twenty cents by claiming that a mistake had been made in giving him the change. He made several profits of twenty cents in this way, until a citizen who had overheard the comâ€" plaint about the pretended shortâ€"changing in one store, listened to a similar complaint in another store. The police were sent for and the racket was ended. The racketeer pleaded guilty and the senâ€" tence of the court and the sentences of the magisâ€" trate followed. North Bay thinks it has had something new in the way of rackets. But there isn‘t anything like that. There does not seem to be a racketeer that has ability to think up something new or to hanâ€" dle it if he stumbled upon it in an old book. The more the racketeer may howl about the moderr and the upâ€"toâ€"date, the more oldâ€"fashioned his racket is likely to prove. The Advance believes that no single plan will stop the terrible toll of life and limb and damage through accidents on the highways. It will take each and all of the plans to win real success. There will need to be courtesy and consideration for othâ€" ers; there will need to be a realization by the pubâ€" lic of the horror, the senseless horror that follows the course of the reckless, the careless, the drunken driver; there will need to be stern measures to imâ€" press carefulness and safe driving on those who offend; there will need to be suspension and canâ€" cellation of licenses to drive so that the public may be protected; there will need to be safe roads, as well as safe drivers; there will need to be eliminâ€" ation of blinding dust and obstacles to clear vision. All these plans should be tried all at once and all together. If all of them are earnestly attended to, and there is good faith on the part of all, acâ€" cidents will be reduced to a minimum. Proper repairs to the roads, removing the dust menace, avoiding obstructing of vision at sharp curvesâ€"these will not fully eliminate accidents on the roads any more than wili "Courtesy" or "Horâ€" ror‘"‘ campaigns, severe sentences, cancellation of driving permits. But if the government would move and move fast to do its part by making the roads as safe as possible it would show the full good faith and sincerity of the powersâ€"thatâ€"be. That would be a big thing. It would set the right exampleâ€"give true leadershipâ€"and induce many to make greater attempt to do their part in this battle against needâ€" less damage, death and injury. a broken part on the car was apparently the direct cause of the crash, and that a hole in the road near the place of the accident no doubt caused the broken part. In court at North Bay last week in the evidence given in the case of a charge of reckâ€" less driving in the Temagami area, the despatches say that "all the witnesses agreed that the road was very dusty." In another coroner‘s jury case last week it was shown that trees left alongside a sharp turn in the road obscured the vision and contributâ€" ed to the occurrence of the accident. In this case, also, the dust on the roads was admitted to be a contributing factor. GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PI ACER' laims that a 29â€"pound trout ago from Meaford Bay.
