WEDNESDAY JAN 21 1953 of Glaring Lights thins motorists on the new Toronto lane highway travelling at night 18 dim your lights on meet in oar Giaring headlights direct the vision of drivers even though they mnpepomte lane This was one of the +ieofs motto by transport drivers at recent bull session Apparently it is just Wm as dimming lights on single highway one of the worst troubles of night driving and frequent cause of fatal accidents45 the hltandrun kindis glaring grheadlights The St Thomas TimesJournal points out Every driver encounters the ob tstinate individual who will not lower his illghts even when given signal but cai lousiy continues on his way knowing quite well that his headlights are shining straight into the eyes of the oncoming driver who for few seconds at any rate is blinded and be fore they have passed may have struck some body or gone iqto the ditch The majority of drivers have never read the Ontario Highway Act If they did they would probably be sur prisedat the number of things they didnt know about driving responsibilities One of them is that drivers must lower their lights 5M feet from an approaching car There must be many opportunities for police action but the law seems more honored in the breach fhan in the observance Henry Spurricr president of the Society of British Motor Manufacturers announces that the industry as whole is studying the ques tion of glaring headlights and while there are some snags to be overcome British cars will in the near future be equipped with photoelectric cell device so that when cars approach each other the cells will automatic ally function and dim the lights If that is accomplished we have no doubt the photo electric cell will become universal and mot orists everywhere will have no fear of this danger Beating isolation Winter life on Canadian farms nowadays is far cry from the lonely existence endured by pioneer settlers Thanks to modern science and industry rural dwellers can keep in touch with each other almost as well when snow covers the countryside as during the spring summer and autumn They probably have more fun in winter than irrthe other seasons because the demands of farm tasks are less urgent In the old days which oldtimers insist Colder weather and deeper snowfalls itanrment winters blizzard could par district for as long as three days arms and communities were cut off from

the proper way to toast Her Majesty The Queen Different methods are used by various organizations and some definitely are incorrect The Sim coe Reformer stated It is evident some education on the correct form is seriously needed This said the editorial seems to be the correct procedure The chairman rises brings his audience to attention and asks them to rise and drink toast to Her Majesty At this the audience rises and the chairman says Ladles and gentlemen the Queen Then and only then is the glass lifted from the table held at eye level for moment then one sip of liquid is taken and the two words The Queen repeated before thwlass is replaced on the table No other procedure is correct for civil ian pledging the health of Her Majesty Glasses are never cllnkcd Guests must not smoke before the toast has been proposed It is not correct to play or sing the National Anthem when toast to Her Majesty is pro posed The Ingersoll Tribune says that The Refor mer is quite right ill the first part of its editorial but is not in the statement that there is no other correct procedure In In gersoll at Kiwanis Club meetings the mem bers rise glass in hand sing God Save the Queen then raise the glasses and drink toast to Her Majesty The Tribune says that arrioiregsewn or 0500llii8MDW it has official Sandringham to back up this method Some months back local Kiwanians were bit confused abdut procedure too so The Tribune wrote ThePrivate Secretary to King George V1 for guidance The Kings sec retary replied in part There are many lif ferent methods used in different places to drink The Kings health Your way of doing it sounds as good as any of them It certainly is both aloyai and dignified method of toast ing the Sovereign Editorial Notes Who builds church to God and not

hard truth remains that judgment however delayed is filerliable Every person and every group of persons no matter how large must face the inescapable fate of being judged according to their work The excuse or the organized defences may become elaborate and powerful But nothing can prevail against the ultimate demands of reality This may be hard law but it is also fair one Every man is given himself as his responsibility He can no more escape that responsibility than he can escape himself The last judgment only proves that it is he himself who has stood or fallen by his own work Turnstiles in Bank St Catharines Standard Take these holdups in which hoodlum walks into bank approaches teller and demands some cash be handed over Surely there mustbe some rpre ventives that will at

farming in the Canadian West years ago with team of oxen He has seen with consternation the great changeover to the mechanized method of har vesting the wheat He too began to compare things The golden
