equipping of every motor vehicle with first kit This could be of considerable assist ance in the rendering of first aid on the scene of an accident by those who knew how to use the kitmen trained in St Work such as the police The im mediate application of medicines such as iodine could prevent in fection from spreading or devel oping Small casytohandle fire ex tinguishers as standard equipment on car might have double ben efit in the event of an accident causing fire prompt action with an extinguisher might be invalu able in the event of driver spotting residential fire he could be the means at hand to keep it under control thereby saving lives and property it is also suggested that dc pendabie flashlight should be compulsory equipment on car Not only would this be useful in mechanical failures during night it would also help the driver signal other cars out of the way or to get assistance The Attorney General is of the opinion that thcse suggested an ticles might well be considered as standard equipment by allmotor isis There is no question of making the suggestions compul sory South Simcoe Seed FairQpens At Ivy Toclay South Simcoe Secd Fair opens at ivy today The speaker at the
