Out of 50,000 accidents, no fewer than 19,- 000 were due to the fact that drivers did not have the right of way. Next to this, the most frequent cause of accidents is found to be vio- lating speed limits, which was responsible for r 7,000 mishaps, while driving on the wrong side of the road accounted for an equal number. An- other 5,000 are attributed to the fact that the driver failed to give the proper signal of his in- tentions, and- 4,000 resulted from the danger- ous practice of cutting-in. Running off the high- way brought about 3,800 accidents, and this is the only category about which there can be any doubt as to the culpability of the driver; it may be that in some instances it was not possible to avoid catastrophe, even with due care."

Service of the Church St. Marys Journal-Arg'us--One frequently hears efforts made to discount the service of the church to the modern community. And yet the church serv- es not only the community as a whole, but every individual in it at some time in his life. Even the fellow who never darkens the church door expects the service of the minister when his time comes to be tucked in under seven feet of earth. Yes, the church gladly serves all. `On the other hand, there is` the well-established fact that in the average com- munity a large portion of the people contribute not one dollar to the maintenance of the church and its work. Perhaps if non-givers, who have means, would loosen up they would `feel better towards the church and would at the same time. gain something . inself-respect. _ "T IFarmer s Advo`cate-Now'that the weeds have done their worst for 1928' the new Ontario Weed Act can be appraised.

Mr. Damrosch will follow the plan which he so successfully follow- ed in his 30 years of children's concerts in Car- negie Hall, New York, and the success of a pre- limihary radio series last year leads him to be- lieve that much interest will be shown in the concerts this season. Through this ambitious program of musical entertainment and instruc- tion Mr. Damroschwill render a further distin- guished service to the cause of music to which i he has already contributed so much. Grey county held a championship school fair at which winners in the township shows were eligible to exhibit. Twenty-two schools were represented. If all the winning exhibits at town- sh-ip fairs in Simcoe County could have been brought together it would have made :1 mon- ster show. Subscribers on the Barrie exchange of the Bell Telephone Co. may now indulge in trans-At- lantic conversations if they are so inclined. Not many of them, however, are likely to run up a bill equal to that of a New York business man who paid $1425.00 for a chat of ninety-five minutes. The Parry Sound Canadian, in its account of a motor accident in which a Barrieite figured on the Orillia highway in acollision witha Parry Sound autoist, says the Barrie man will be sued for damages before Magistrate Jeffs. It may be that some police courts are indirectly used for this purpose, but not Barrie s. The Timmins Advance takes a poke at Barrie by stating tourists never visit here, they simply pass through. But then these same tourists never even pass through Timmins.

Across the line the plan gas been tried out in severa1_states and the re- sults have not proved up toanticipations. ` Take Massachusetts for example. After 20 months of experience with its compulsory`auto- niobile insurance law, this state has found the .` experiment rather unsatisfactory, according to Thomas P..

This country surely cannot afford to discard a site that was selected after careful examination and consideration and upon which over a million dollars have been expended, without good cause. One million dollars means something to a young country like this in its present situation even with all its actual and potential wealth. and only the most ample reasons can justify this waste if the Department decides to scrap it. In the opinion of the Collingwood Bulletin the proposal has nothing to commend it. This paper says: Barrie town council has passed a resolution unanimously protesting against the supposed contemplated removal of Camp Bor- den from Simcoe County. The mover of the motion advocated that the county council and other town councils in Simcoe be asked to join , with that of the county town in the move to i hold the camp where it is located. Boards of Trade might well be included. To the laymen there does not appear to be any good reason for the change and the abandoning of the plant and equipment at the present camp which re- presents an investment, it is said, of over one million dollars.
