Foimer S'side - Man Passes Away Inhaliiax

llr. William Dalton passed sway Tuesday night, March 10th. at his home in Halifax. Nova scotis. ao- oording to word received here by his brother. Mr. J. E. Dalton,

The late Mr. Dalton had been in poor health for some time. but his death as a result of heart at- taek was unexpected.

He will be fondly remembered by friends who rem him whenhe worked in his brother's drug store in sun-imerside in 1916.

He returned quite often to sum- mereide in the intervening years where he always received a warm welcome from friends here.

His wife predeceased him some years ago and he is survived by one ,son. William; one sister. Anne, both of Halifax; one brother. George. of Winnipeg: besides Mr. J. E. Dalton oi Summerside.

Interment will be in Halifax.

...:L.A..:..L..L. not the best driver as he thinks. said Mr. Darby. because many ac- cidents are caused as a resultsof impatient drivers being stuck be- hind the slowpoke. He asked that the speed limits be made absolute in the Highway Traffic Act and proof offered of speeds over 50 miles per hour will in future be "conclusively" assumed of guilt rather than the present ”prima facie" evidence of it.

Mr. Darby told the House. how- ever. that every accident has its cause in some negligence in driv- ing. He mentioned cases where it good driver might be proceeding at a. high rate of speed because he had his vehicle under complete control. But the speaker asked how that driver could stop it if a child suddenly ran in front of him.

Educational Frills

Regarding education he wasnot sure that many of the present frills and furbelows" were doing much good. He thought that it might be only a case of sugar- ccating pills to keep children in school longer. He did not believe at all in allowing a child in Grade 7 to pick and choose his own future as at the age of children there he thought there is a lack pi judgment and the child does not eally know which way to go.

He told his listeners that edu- cation was not just a way of ob- taining a mechanical means of

in his question. Mr. Ftobichaud said the Maritime Provinces-pan ilcularly the New Brunswick lum- bar industry - would be "adverse- ly Ind detrimentally" affected by the board decision.

- being made to settle nothing more than arguments. family quarrels or to satisfy spite.

But he gave a positive picture of their work when he told the House that last year the R. C. M. P. in- vestigated and prosecuted 2.250 breaches of Provincial statutes. Be- sides these there were i92 calls un- der the Criminal Code for automo- bile investigations, 1,609 other in- vestigations and ML pi ecutiols under the Excise Act.

The entire matter came up in Mr. Darby's speech as a result of what he termed the 'gruesome condition" of present highway fatalities. While the Province had some stringent regulations for control they were frequently hon- ored more in the breach than the observance. he said. But he added that his department had prosecut- ed all offenders without fear or favor and thanked the members of the Legislature for not attempting to bring- any pressure to bear to

History of Appeals

50 in as could be learned, the cabinet has never changed a tran- llwrt board decision without an Iplmii having been entered: There have been about 55 appeals in the W 50 Years, and only five in the int l2 years.

highways was not all a matter of speeding but that recklessness and drinking were important parts of the problem. or the latter he said that some people could drink more than others but he wondered as to the split.-second reaction to em- ergencies of the driver who had taken only one drink. .

Lack of courtesy

However. he thought that a great deal of the trouble originated from the fact that there was a complete lack of "plain common courtesy" on the part of too many motorists. "Put some of them be- hind the wheel of a car and they think they are lords of creation. They fall to realise that they are handling a vehicle of destruction."

He was not personally convinced that the spseder is more dangero than the "slcwpoke" who creates many dangerous situations. He is

The three men strained upwards, lifting the massive branch a couple of feet clear of the ground. and the sergeant stooped down and grasp- ed the man's ankles. Pulling gen- tly. he drew the bcdy out from un- der the great limb into the glaring sunshine. and when the man's head was clear he signified that

was indeed beyond human aid. A deep cut high up in the forehead and continuing into his matted hair showed where the branch had struck him, and the whole of that side of his head was an ugly sight where the blood from the wound had flowed down. His brown. un- shaven face looked gaunt and emaciated hi the strong sunlight. and the sergeant grunted expres- sively as he knelt down beside him and slipped a hand up the loose jumper to the bare breast.

He remained for some seconds with the other three watching him. and then he withdrew his hand and rose briskly to his feet.

"Well. hes not dead anyway." he said. "But. ,1 don't. know whats happened inside him. That bougli was right on top of him. and I wouldn't be surprised if his back was broken. Still thailr a case for the doctor. Catch hold or him. two of you. and pull him over into the shade here.

After all, the chances were, as the sergeant had said, that he was seriously injured already. and a little sunlight. more or less would make small difference to his condi- tion.

The standing orders to his con- dition. labour gangs should be in- side the prison compound before sunset, and at the end of that period the sergeant gave the order to cease work for the day. Axes. saws, and crowbars were collected and stored in a gross hut on the edge of the clearing. and the men were again handcuffed and chain- ed together for the march back. Two cf them. however - one of whom was the gro, Christophe- were detailed to carry the injured man back upon a rudely construct- ed litter; and these. accompanied by the guard. brought up the rear of the procession as they he- gan to make their way hack.
