Page Four THE BARRIE EXAMINER Government to End Auto Glare Peril | Mr, Gilbert Robertson, secretary of the Ontario Motor League, when interviewed on the headlight glare menace, suid that the leugue had urged on the Government | the passing of u.general law that the beams | 'of light from headlights should be deflected | ip such a way tha! they will not rise 42) inches above the eurface on the rond at distance of 75 feet from the car. i "We have the assurance of the Govern: ment that such u law will be paned this | summer and will be the law 'for the whole | Province some time in August." be said. "Some of the cities have already pussed ordinances, but these," be explained, "are | illegal und such by-lawe cannot be enforced. | There is no headlight by-lsw in Toronto, | ar an example," he concluded. | In New York State legislation was passed making it contrary to law for a motor car to carry blinding headlights, Local motor: | ists would like to see the aame law brought into effect here, for some motorists ex ercixe very poor sense in this respect sarcblight For Defence One sensible Toronto man, after vainly | preaching the doctrine of dim headlights and safety. rigged up between the two front wheels and slung very low in front of his car an extraordinarily powerful search light. It was turned slightly to the left Whenever he approaches one of these "dazz ling light hogs of the road this light ix turned on. Tt always pales "the hog's" lights into inaignificance and generally teaches a very good lesson. Politeness Pays in Train Service Because he was always polite and helpful to the pascengers on his train, George F. Conroy, 25. of 34 Laidlaw Avenue, Jersey City Eri conductor, was bequeathed a commuter who rode morning evening with the young conductor. + 4 wealthy shoe manufacturer e. NJ. who died recently, left the money in bis will to Conroy "as a mark of appreciation fer his kindly treatment of me and other passengers when he had no vat in us beyond his official J that of course he wax + the money, hut he budn't bad test dew that he was attracting alike to me." he said, at them ax 1 would like to be Iry to make every passenger forl T renresent the railroad company: that the company has a persona rest in hin safety und comfort, and that the service foes not end with the sale of a ticker tation to destination T try to make they are getting more than they woud for, nd that the company is willing to give more than it receives, Hitenes uch handsome re uetors of thi may nt gny nnture.
