District News Federal Election, i * * * < Following up representations made last week by Mayor Bowman and Reeve Jackson to the district office of the Dominion Department of Public Works, in connection with dredging at Whitby harbour, the Town Council at a special meeting on Monday night decined to forward a letter to the Minister of Public Works, Hon. H. A. Stewart, suggesting that if harbour dredging is undertaken the work be done with a hydraulic dredge, and that the sand taken from the 12-foot channel be thrown over the dock so that lands owned by the Dominion can be filled in and improved. : el Bernard McGeough, a South Ops farmer, received quite a shock one morning to realize that during the night his barn and driving shed had nearly been destroyed by fire. A car which was parked less than six feet from the driving shed caught fire in some manner late at night and unknown to anyone, had been de- stroyed. = What kept the fire away from the wooden building is not known, but it is thought that if the fire hdd ever caught on the driving shed both it and the barn would have been destroyed. = * x % Whitby Public Utilities have been advised by the Ontario Hydro-Electric Power Commission that the rate of charge per horse power for electricity is reduced from $40 to $88. ss - While Orillia's new $600,000 power utility at Workman's Falls, Minden, will not be officially opened until next month, power is now available for steady transmission, officials of .the power commission announced. - Up to 3,200 horsepower has been transmitted to the Orillia sub-station.

HAS JEKYLL-HYDE COMPLEX ternately, it can be a public nuisance. the Plymouth Motor Company, has outlined some 'common sense". rules for motorists to follow in using thei horns correctly. "Judicioius + motorists use their horns only on rare occasions as warn- ing signals", said Mr, McGraw. "In their hands, the horn is a kindly Dr. Jekyll, aiding other motorists and pedestrians. "Careless unthinking drivers abuse the privilege given to them with their horns, They substitute blasts for brakes as they crash through traffic. In their hands, the automobile horn is a vicious, snarling Mr. Hyde. "Because so many motorists do not know how to use their horns--or do not care--traffic authorities in almost grery country where automobiles are used extensively have taken restrict- ive measures. Some nations have even gone so far as to outlaw horns entirely." The national Riksdag of Sweden has passed-a measure decreeing that horns shall not be blown anywhere in the country except when a driver de- sires to signal his intention to pass. This measure forbids the use of horns at intersections. - Recently enacted laws in Great Britain prohibit the blowing of horns in congested areas between 11.30 p.m. and 7.00 am, Italian laws g0 even further and forbid the use of horns altogether--day or night--in in- habited areas, Automobile manufacturers in the United States and Canada are not Like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, the modern automobile horn has a dual character.

But that is no reason why motorists who can and do use them properly should-be restricted in that use in any way. The answer to the horn problem, as well as the answer to all safety problems, lies in education. All motorists should be instructed in the proper use of their automobile horns." Mr. McGraw said that there are! only four occasions when a careful driver needs his horn; namely: to warn another driver of his intention to pass, to warn a careless pedestrian, at "blind" intersections, and to warn an approaching driver if he is over the center line on the wrong side of the road. "The motorist intending to pass an- other should not start blowing his horn until he is within 200 or 300 feet of the other car," he said. "Careless and nervous drivers use their horns long before they can be heard. "When the motorist uses his horn to warn a jaywalker crossing in the middle of the street or against a red light, he should exercise care not to frighten the pedestrian with a long loud blast. Instead, he should put one foot ready on the brakes and then | SP -- FAIR DATES PORT PERRY ..... September 10-11 | i on Sunday.
