DIM YOUR LIGHTS
It Is a wonder that tharo nro not
mora accidents with tin tot around
Ontario. Thoro Is npparontly, no of
fort on tho part of many motor car
drivers to observe tho regulations
concernlug tho dim In it of lights.
Tho law Is vary plain that tho
motor car must ho supplied with
dimmers If driven nt night, or It no
dimmer Is on tho car that a spot
light bo substituted for tho front
lights whon turned off, and that tho
spot light bo so focused on tho
right hand side of tho road and
downward so as not to blind tho
driver of approaching vohlclcs.
Even on the streets of Ontario no
gonoral obsorvanco of tho dimming
regulations Is to be notod. Ono
driver last wook, whllo blinded with
tho light of an approaching car ran
Into tho trnflo posts In tho coutor
of tho street. Ho "could not help
It. That ho sutforod no creator Injury
than tho damngo to his car was not
tho fault of tho driver who fallod
to dim his lights.
Tho truth of tho mattor Is that
tho man who docs not dim his lights
Is oxtromaly selfish. Ho has no
thought of or consideration for tho
otlior follow. Ho nets as though tho
publlo streets and highways wore his
exclusive proparty. Thoy aro not
Thoy aro tho avonuos dedicated to
tho publlo for travel and tho laws
governing thotr uso aro for tho pro
tectlon of tho public.
Tho man who drives a car and
has a license to drlvn can readily
bo brought to tlmo, If tho officers
will start a campaign against tho
malefactors. Tho penults to drive
can bo rovoked. This should be
dono to some of our speed fiends
and somo of thoio who do not dim
tholr headlights. A few examples
would have a healthy effect and
mako It sato for ordinary peoplo to
travel the highways In safety
POLICING THE HIGHWAYS
As tho number of mllci of state
highway In Mnlhour county Increase
It Is evident (hat something must be
done to patrol them to mako them
safo for the atcrngo motorist.
In tho old days tho ruts and
humps sorved to govern tho spcod of
all but tho most reckless Individual
Now the smooth roads prove too
great n temptation to n host of car
drivers. They cannot resist tho
tomptatlon to "step on her" nud of
courso thoy exceed tho speed limit
Only n campaign of rldgld en
forcement of traffic regulations will
put a stop to this practlco. It must
conio soonor or later. The sooner
tho bolter. Lives v. Ill ho saved by
Immcdlnto action.
