Police Bawl Out
All J ay-Walkers
(By The Canadian Press)
DEI’RiOI'I`, Jan. 2 - When it
seemed all other means of prevail- ing upon pedestrinns to heed traf- fic lights had failed, Detroit police hit upon the idea of "sl'iaming" jay-walkers into obeying the law.
The system, simple and inex-
pensive, has proued to bc the most cf(-active y:‘ experimented with. Pclice ofiir ~, equipped with loud- spcaking apparatus, are stationed in stores and buildings on the cor- ners of the princiai thoroughfares. The officers are nbove the street level and have a clear view of all four corners.
Thus when a pedestrian steps off
the curb against the red light. a loud voice; describing his or her appearance politely informs him or her they arc breaking the law, endangering their lives and those of others. The voice is heard clear- ly above the dlri and noise of traffic and it is a matter of mo- ments before the errlng and in the majority of cases, blushing. pedes- trian is backtracking to the safety of the sidewalk.
Even the motorist is not exempt
from the attention of those msn- ipulath-ig the loud-speakers. if one happens to stop too close to the carrier and infringes upon the space marked for pedestrian traffic, he too is told about it.
The waming is more or less in
the nature of a rebuke and police authorities are unanimous the sys- tem has been the means of cut- ting down on accidents and at the same time speeding up traffic--an important factor at this seasbn of the year with the full army of Christmas shoppers on the march.

Mr- Compton Interview-
ed On Success of Com- munity Movement- _
(C. P. By Guardis.n’s Special Wire)
BELLE RIVER., P.E.I., Jan. 2.-
1-Iector Compton, administrator, and his brother, John, spiritual leader of Prince Edward Island's unique “Self-governing colony" here, face 1935 with confidence, assured that the aspirations of the colony‘s founder back in 1909 will bear fruit in the new year and point to their odd system as a panacea for world social and economic ills.
Nearly 100 persons depend on
them for guidance. These live in two communities, one here and the other at Bangor, P. E. I. In this apparent Utopia they work happy and contented, without seeing or handling a` bank ridte, or hearing the jingle of a. coin.
“Money is the curse of the world,"
Ben Compton the founder told them and they have been carrying out his ideals for more than a quarter of it century.
They operate community farms,
fell the trees in their 1,500 acres of woodland, ' manufacture lumber in their mill. Their houses are lighted from their own electric plant,
"Our system is the antithesis of
Communism." Hector Compton ex- plained. "Commimlsm in Red Rus- sia is built on hatred. We have built our system on love. We believe ir. sharing material riches. As head of the colony. I receive no more for my labor than does the youngest farm boy,” he added with pride.
Under “Comptonism" when a
young couple come to age, and de- cide to marry, all tum to and help rear the new home. It is equipped from collar to attic and then it is up to the young folk to plant well, reap annual harvests, and add their W€Blth to the community ssl..
It is an odd thing to watch ilic
store-keeper at Bolle River. For the Compton "customers" no rash regis-
extends. Once goods are shipnrd via the United Kingdom ilicy imc
gheir identity and como under n ifferent tariff." The Canadian visitors spent a
day at Pretoria interviewing mem- bers of the South African govern- ment. Later they visited Durban and returned to spend two or three
weeks in-this city. 'l’iic_v propose
