- The Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Puge 4 Tuesday, September 22, 1959 " Court Ruling Affects Liabiliy Insurance In most Canadian homes there is an automobile which could be described as the family car. While the father nor- mally owns, insures and drives the car, it is frequently used by other members of the family, and possibly in some in- stances by friends. It 'is important, therefore, that the owner of a car and his family should be aware of the effect of a recent judgment in the Supreme Court of Ontario In this particular case the automobile concerned had been owned by a wo- man who, during her lifetime, carried liability insurance. Folicwing her death a daughter, who was executrix of the estate, permitted a friend to drive the car. Unfortunately the friend was in=- volved in a serious accident When 2 lawsuit followed sumed that, in the event of and the estate being found liable, the insurance company would pay the claim: As it turned however, the company refused payment. It contend- ed that the contract for insurance, so far was a contract ndemnity against third party liability, was a per- it the driver was as- out, as it of sonal contract between the deceased and the company and terminated on the death of the named insured. This contention was upheld by the Court with: the Tesult that the estate and the driver: are now liable for the full claim amounting to $31,492.96. "This judgment has very serious im=- plications. It means liability insurance on the family car automatically ceases on the death of the owner, This would appear to be the case even if the car were being driven~by a wife or child who had been normally in the habit of driving it, a Canada Trust bulletin points out. It is important, therefore, that per sons concerned with the administration of estates contact the insurance agent immediately upon. the death of the own- er of an automobile. He is the person qualified to assist in taking whatever steps may be necessary to make certain that liability insurance is maintained vntil the car is transferred to the new over. It would be most unwise to per- mit the car to be used for any purpose whatsoever until this step has been taken.

They are more interested than ever before in seeing the forests preserved, and their camping place of this year saved for next year. There is too, considerable change in the equipment used by campers, canoe trippers and other travellers. Hundreds now 'carry vacuum bottles filled with hot beverages such 'as tea or coffee, thus getting away from the campfire which so frequently was neglected or which inadvertently "got away."

The plucked corpses of nightingales, skylarks rob- ins and finches, are barbecued in olive oil, offered for sale and eagerly eaten by local people and tourists. The annual feast, with -a history going back some 600 years, has become a commercial- ized tourist attraction. Attention is naturally focussed on the feast of the birds at Sacile but in all countries around the Mediterranean this wholesale slauchter of migrating songbirds goes on. People in Northern European countries are launching vig- orous protests. Around the Mediterran- ean the native people are bewildered by the anger of their northern neigh- bors. Yes, we can be shocked by the slaughter of the songbirds in Europe, but people in glass houses should not throw stones the Sudbury Star asserts.

Here, again, it has saved the building of camp fires plus, of course, the inconvenience of gathering wood. Even the most, experienced rangers of the Lands and Forests Department now use the "gas" stove in their patrol trips through the forests. There was a time, not when the man who pa~ked a pr cooker along on a canoe trip would have been laughed out of existence. To- day the cooker is regarded as one of the handiest appliances. With one of these utensils and a gasoline or "gas" cooking a meal is a matter of a minites and there's no danger of the fire getting away or becoming too large. The officials have one word of warn- ing about the gasoline stove, however. Users should carry a funnel of the transparent variety to be used in fill- ing the stove tank, The opaque funnels, commonly used, give no indication of the height of fuel in the tank and, general rule, some gasoline Ar incautiously lighted match may bring about a flash which burns the stove user--and may start another for. est fire. Birds States have disclosed the death toll among birds is shocking. In all innocence people are putting out lethal >s of poison as they spray crops to control insect pests, Naturalists are alarmed over what is happening to bird populations. Fach year hundreds of thousands of acres of nesting grounds for birds are destroved as swampland is drained and fields be- come sites for industriai or housing de- velopments. A number of bird species face extinction. What can we do about Public education in conservation produces the best hope of initiating government ac- tion that will lead to the preservation of areas of waste and wilderness for songbird propagation. Research and education will bring about the use of insecticides that are non-toxic to birds.

Democratic System Should Be Taught By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- How right these men are! Roy C. Sharp, chairman of the Toronto Board of Education, and Murdoch K. MacDonald, superin- tendent of Toronto public schools, recently made statements that to the political writer were sensa. tional. Speaking to a meeting of public school principals they said flatly, very flatly, that we are doing an awful job of teaching democracy in our schools, COME HERE Say it again gentlemen. Sing it from the roof-tops. For if we believe in this sys- tem of ours and want to see it continue there is no greater need than the one you have brought forward. And if you want any further conviction come here and observe this legislatture -- this seat of democracy. SHOCKING PLACE To anyone with a knowledge of and feeling for democratic prin- ciple this place at times can be shocking, You won't cracy, But you will see some strange versions of democracy. And after a while you have to conclude that very few members have any real concept of this sys- tem of which they are the core. There are a few men with a fine sense of democracy who come along. George Drew was see straight auto- DON'T one. Former CCF leader E. B. Jolliffe was another. And strange as it may seem, LPP'er A. A. MacLeod was still another. But most haven't much clue as to what it is all EVERYTHING ELSE And there can't be any question that the main fault lies in the schools. We teach school children hockey. We teach them foothall and basketball. We give them cooking and carpentry But of democracy we give them very little, There is, it is true, a bit of a course in civics. But it is a piteous thing, and on the surface has to be inade quate, ONLY PRACTICE For democracy is something that has to be learned through practice. It is a system based on com- petition within none tgo rigid rules but strong principles Obviously the only way it can be *'taught" ig through playing it Let children from the earliest days learn to run their own little affairs. Let them have their sides, argue their points and then vote on them. This way they would lean de- mocracy, also learn responsibil- ity, and eventually give to our country a more act and intel- ligent political structure of a about. MISS THE MANUFACTURERS DIAMOND RING CLEARANCE SALE AT ALL THREE B/ 53ETT'S JEWELLERS 51ORES REPORT FROi. U.K. High Speed Service Planned By Bus Co. By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times T.ONDON -- Londoners, within the next month or two, will be able to travel to Birmingham on non-stop buses travelling at speeds of up to 85 miles an hour. This new bus service, for which the Midland Red Bus Com- pany has been givena license, will start operations after the London to Birmingham motorway has been opened to the public in about a month's time, On the . regular highways throughout the country, there is a speed limit of 30 miles an hour on buses. For the new motor way, with its gix wide traffic lanes, this speed limit has been removed, and the only limit to speed will be the capacity of the new fleet of buses now being made ready for the opening of the service.

Instead, he gripes about a confusing number of symptoms Depression of DIFFICULT TO DIAGNOSE Naturally, this often makes it very lifficult to diagnose a case of depression. In fact, one New York doctor has warned that of all psychologic problems depres- sion is the one most frequently missed by the genera. practition- el This year alone, it is estimat- ed, depressed patients will make about 3.000,000 visits to doctors' offices throughoui the country, also estimated that there avout 202,000 new neurotic- depressive cases each year and about 14,000 new manaic-depres- sive cases It is are . IN OLDER PERSONS Although cases of do occur in childhocd quently develop during adoles- cence, they usually begin after the age of 30. The vast majority of cases occur between the ages of 40 and 60. For some unkiowr reason, women are more susceptible to deprescion than are men. About 70 per cent of all victims are women, While it sometimes takes an expert to recognize a case of depression, the following symp- toms usually provide some clues to the real trouble. Usuzlly, there is loss of weight and loss of appetite. There may depression and fre- A PERSONAL CHEQUING ACCOUNT FOR PAYING BILLS be constipation ana diminished sex drive The victim probably will feel tired and lethargic and will lose interesi in daily activities; he probably will have a feeling of futility, inadequacy and hopeless- ness, DISTURBED SLEEP In most cases sleep will be disturbed, especially the early morning hours. Thinking will be di"ficl and the mental! processes will be slowed. Making decisions will be diffi- cult. Even choosing between two brands of soap may become a shattering problem. If the depression is severe, the patient will be tense all the time. Unwairanted feelings of guilt are real danger signs QUESTION AND ANSWER Mrs. W. R.

The company, the largest operator of privately-owned buses in the country, will have three non-stop services between London and Birmingham daily Existing coaches, suitable because they already have disc brakes and in- dependent rubber suspension are being modified for the service. To et their motorway speeds up to 75 to 85 miles an hour, the en- gines have not only been super- 'charged. They have been fitted with overdrive axles. In exhaustive tests, covering over 6000 miles at the Motor In- dustry Research Association test track, one of these coaches ac- celerated to a speed of 70 miles an hour, in 70 seconds. It did speeds of 85 miles per hour car- rying more than 10 toms, the equivalent of a full load of pas sengers and luggage. TIME ELEMENT At present, the ordinary bus service takes five hours and 20 minutes to do the journey. The new service will cut the time to three hours and 25 minutes. And this fast service made available to the exactly the same price present-day slow services -- shillings and three pence for return journey. This js 15 shil- lings and nine pence cheaper than the second class railway fare, and 34 shillings and three- pence less than the first class fare by rail.
