I `The benefit plan established some ` y'ars ago by the Bell Telephone Com- pany to take care of employees and their dependents in case of sickness, accident, retirement and` death, con- tinues to deal each year with a great many cases During 1926, sick, ac- cident and death benefits, as well as pensions were paid under the plan in 3,120 cases, and the total outlay amounted to $261,409. _Letters of `appreciation. from employees and their `dependents who` have experi- enced the `benefits of the plan are among the treasured-possessions of . the telephone company. . 18 . - .--vu The proposal agreed to between the -Council and the,local committee which had been active in the matterl was outlined by W. L. Russell, chair- man of the committee, and"Morgan Orrock, secretary, and was followed by considerable discussion in which the 'consensI1s of opinion favored erection of a township "hall rather thbansa community hall, which had formerly -been advocate by several. I j :---- At a public meeting at`Midhurst on Wednesday night of last week it was decided to accept the offer of the Townshi-p Council of $1000 and the old hall for the new township hall which the people `of Mid-hurst propose to build. There was an at-' tendance of between. fifty and sixty at the meeting` and. the motion to ac- cept the offer was carried with but one dissenting vote. ` rm...

It is very bad taste to honk the horn to make pedestrians get out of the way. The motorist _must realize the power and speed at his command. When a pedestrian is ,seen crossing, it is the duty of the driver to slacken. his speed and let `the pedestrian cross properly instead of sounding the `horn and making the W obey the golden rule. The person .0 _on_ fo.ot should remember that the paved streetsand highways are for the benefit. of the motorists and 1 should cross the street at regular crossings and `not indulge in jay- r walking.` . * `25% of the accidents are caused by other than the driver `of the car, ' said the speaker. He also made thel very surprising statement that the vast majority of accidents happen . when the cars -are running less than 1 15 miles an hour. A high percentage occur at street intersections. Espe- cial care should be taken at such places. He advised coming to 'a stop at railroad crossings where the view of the track i-s obscured -in either direction. In conclusion the speaker asked for the co.-operation of both motorists and pedestrians to keep -ac- cidents down to a minimum.- The attendance prize for the day was donated by Walter `Duff and Howard Felt was the recipient. ` 456 acuu. I In "1926 the total fatalities in the - province numbered 1-451 as against. 1403 in 1925. Forthe first time on` record deaths in motor accidents ex- ceeded those from drowning, num- bering 298 which was one more than from drowning. Figures for the last -three years: . showed automobile _accidents in On-E tario as follows: 1924, 254 fataIl, i 3020 non-fatal; 1925,, 298 fatal; 8912 non-fatal; 1926_, 298 fatal,;'1 4114 non-fatal. . ' ; . _ In an effort to reduce these ac- ; cidents, the Ontario Safety League I, has organized a vigilance _committee 1 in Toronto composed of prominenthi citizens who undertake to report in- ' J fractions -of the Motor Vehicles Act " or- other misdemeanors. Each report is investigated and if thought advis- able is passed on to the police. The identity of the informant is not dis- closed, all reports being by num-ber. They also 'haye a Safe Drivers Club. The Ontario Safety League has W been in existence thirteen years and throughgeducation, has done much to 0, reduce reckless driving. Mr. Hodg- . son thought licensing drivers would la ensure better control and more care-` ful driv'ing as licenses of persistent Ir offenders could be cancelled.. ``97% 1%` are safe drivers but 3% makes quite a total and it is these we `are after, '33 declared the speaker. rnA_ 1|: 1 -- ....u -uuvustaua wxu glib nelnmab CH8. movement for safe and sane dnving, he said. 1'...-1nna .L`I__ ;-.,n n . u... . .- cu In ulUbU1' cars.
