H.T.0. OFFICERS ARE CORTERUS 'Statement on Recent * Trouble Toronto, July 30.--"We Canadi- ans take pride in extending hospi- tality and courtesy to .eyery one whe visits our country. 'We desire all 'tourists to enjoy in full all the attractions and opportunities that may add to the pleasure 'of their holiday. But most of all we are anxious that, through personal con- tact that intercourse with our peo- ple, our visitors may learn some. thing of Canadian character an citizenship, and carry away happy memories that will beget better un- derstanding and greater friendship and respect' for each other.' --Premier Ferguson. Premier's Findings Toronto, July 26.--Premier Fer- guson has gone to the bottom of recent tourist complaints of dis- courteous and harsh treatment at the hands of the Ontario authori- ties--to find that such treatment is 'quite a rare thing; that every ef- fort is made by the highway offi- clals to avoid any action that might create dissatisfaction; and that in the specific case of the Illinois tourist, Alexander, who complain- ed of having been 'bled" to the tune of $19.75 by a traffic officer near London, the payment was not a roadside fine as alleged, but a bail bond under a novel arrange- ment designed by Magistrate Hawkshaw of Middlesex County to serve the convenience of a person complained against under the Highways Traffic Act. A lengthy statement on his in-, quiry was issued by the Prime Min- ister. It is as follows: "So long as it is found wise or necessary to place men in authority to regulate our conduct and ac- tions, we will inevitably have a certain amount of dissatisfaction and - complaint, whether because the officer {is over-zealous in tne -performance of his duty or because the individual involved resents in- terferénce. "I have looked into some of the recent complaints made by tour- ists against the trafic officers, and } believe the press will be doing a great service if they will make pub- lic the conditions under which our trafic men operate.

The is a special instruction (No. 38) dealing with the particular subject of the treatment as follows: American tourists: As Americad or other foreign tourists may come over your detail (districts) you are especially enjoined to extend every courtesy and aid to them. . They are to be regarded as guests of the province up to a reasonable pgint, and leniency as to compartively trivial infractions shown. Though ignorance of the law is inexcusable under ordinary ciscumstances, give these strangers the benefit of any possible doubt and do not prose- cute where warning or advice as to future requirements can possibly affect the end desired. Hawkshaw's Method "Magistrate Hawkshaw of Mid- dlesex county has adopted a rather novel procedure where a complaint is made against a tourist. He has apparently furnished the officers in his locality with a printed form of short document signed in blank by himself as magistrate. It is a sort of combination of receipt for mon- ey, summons to court and ball bond with a forfeiture provision, and reads as follows: Received driver, owner of motor vehicle No. .... the sume of.. dollars, to secure the appear- ance of the above named at the Court House, in the City of London, in the County of Miaaie- day of July, 19 , at the hour of...... a.m, to answer to a charge under section ..++..0f the Highways Traffic Act. This sum to be forfeited and ap- plied to a fine imposed in the event of above named failing wo appear at the time and place above mentioned. 19: ..5 (Not valid unless signed by traffic officer). C. W. Hawkshaw, Police Magistrate, Middlesex Co. Leniency To Tourists "The idea is that where an offi- cer desires to make a complaint of an offense by a touring visitor he need not arrest the complainant and take him personally before a magistrate. The officer may go to the nearest telephone and give the particulars to the magistrate, wno may give him instructions how thia document should be filled out, in- cluding the date fixed for the hewr- ing, and the amount of deposit re- quired to insure the defendant's ap- pearance at the trial. The practice, I believe, is not to require an ex- cessive amount, which would be a hardship upon the tourist, but to haye a sufficient deposit when the offender fails to appear to cover what the magistrate feels on the in- formation of the constable is a pro- per amount of penalty and costs. The tourist is furnished with a du- plicate of this document. "If the tourist prefers to deposit the amount asked rather than ap pear immediately before the magis- trate he is not detained by the of ficer. "Where the case comes before the magistrate, the tourist has the opportunity of appearing and mak- ing his defense. If he fails to ap- pear, the magistrate may impose a penalty, "Whatever criticism may be made as to the regulation of such procedure, it is certainly designed to serve the convenience of the per- 48 Simcoe Street, South. = d against, should he not want to go immediately before the magistrate or be detaiped un- til a later date, as the law provides. | | Mr. Alexander's Case "In the particular 'case of Mr. Alexander, a visitor from! Illinois, who complains of harsh treatment, Officer Martin -reports that he saw this car. travelling at an exsessive speed through the village of Lam- beth. He did not stop the car at the time because the rapid rate might only be temporary. But he followed the traffic. He alleges that, not only did the car in ques- tion continue to travel at a very high rate, but was continually turning out and cutting in on the traffic. He ,states that he stoppea the car at Glendale Curve and told the driver that he was driving in a very reckless manner. "Mr. Alexander replied that he was in a hurry to get to Montreal. Martin asked him for his license and a landing card and went to a nearby service station and tele- phoned Magistrate Hawkshaw, ex- plaining the circumstances to him. The magistrate instructed him to fill out the so-called bail bond and explain to the tourist that he might make a deposit of $19.75 for ais appearance in court. The purpose of this procedure was to avoid de- taining Mr. Alexander if he desired to proceed on his way, and at the same time assure the payment of any penalty that might be imposed for an infraction of the trafic iaw. Conflicting Reports 'Mr. Alexander has written (0 the department of . highways and asserts that he was not driving recklessly. The officer says that he was. That point, unfortunateuy, could not be decided at a hearms before the magistrate, where all the evidence would be available, but as Mr. Alexander, althvugn ne had this notice in his pocket, did not return to give his evidence, the magistrate had no recourse but to decide the complaint on the wvi- dence of the officer, : "Incidents of this kind are most regrettable. 'Every effort is made by the highway authorities to avoia any action that may create dissat- isfaction or a semse of unfair treat- ment. It is a great satisfaction 10 know that, with the hundreds of thousands of cars daily upon our highways, it is most unusual to re- ceive a complaint of unfair or dis- courteous treatment. On the other hand both the department of high- ways and the tourist department are daily in receipt of large num- bers of letters expressing apprecia- tion of the treatment accorded tha writer and the courtesy of all offl- cfals and people with whom they have come in contact." WOMAN ADVERTISER UTILIZES AIRPLANE (By The Canadian Press) Montreal, Que, July 30.--High pressure salesmanship in the form of aerial travel is being exercised by Miss Grace Walton, advertising man- ager for a firm of silk, glove and hosiery manufacturers, Miss Walton, who is considered to rank among the first three women advertisers in the United States, dic- tates style influences in addition to advertising the quality of her firm's products, and realizes the import- ance of speed in anticipating trends and changes. She is among the first women to adopt the flying ma- chine as a means of rapid transpor- tation, but utilizes established air lines in the course of her travels.

The th inset, Bobbie WAT ABOLISH € "LOVE" IN TENNIS Not Necessary and Not An/ Asset to the Game New York, N.Y., July 30.--A movement is on foot to abolish 'love' so far as the use of the term "in tennis scoring is concerned. On the ground that so tender an expression has no place in the slam-bang, he-man game that ten- nis has become and that it is actu- ally stunting the growth of the game among the boys and girls of the country, Frank T. Anderson, a player of some prominence around New York, is launching a vigorous assault upon the word which has always been used to indicate "no- thing' or 'zero' on the court. ** 'Love' should be taken out im- mediately," he writes in the forum of "Tennis," official publication of Fores. | i '|the United States Lawn Tennis As- sociation. "It never was an asset to the game and will continue to serve as a hindrance to the development of tennis in the future, if retained, es- pecially among that class.of hu- manity who still unfortunately look upon tennis as a 'ladies' game," and as a more idealized form of ping-pong. "It 'love' was eliminated, the game would receive a still greater impetus among all classes than it ever received in the past. If you want the boys and girls of the sand lots to play tennis instead of other games in the future, 'love' should be immediately eliminated. We want tennis for the masses, where it will create the greatest amount of good, rather than for a select nr id JDOCTORS quite approve the quick comfort of Aspirin.
