New Brunswick has formed an Automobile Safetv Imagine, and each of its members pledges hlmsclf to report to the secretary of the organi-

l ration. and tbrotrzh that official to the Wllcfi 1* any violation of a traffic law that comes tn his ' sttentlon.

pledge to the letter. Therein lies the rub.

“A year ago,” recalls our Ottawa contemporary “the Ontario Department of Highways invited all good citizens to come to the aid of safety by reporting such cases of recklessness. We never heard that much came of it, and the invita- tion has not been repeated this year. The fact: is that most; people dislike “the informer” and cvcn in so good a cause as traffic-safety hes- itnte to do anything that might cause them to be called spotters and snoopers. They realize it is the duty of every person to assist in the en- forccnicnt of the laws, but in practice they pre- fcr that the police should act for them. And, unlt-ss the case is a serious one, for the most part they will not volunteer evidence that may bring in its train the inconvenience and loss of tlnu- iuvolvcrl in appearance as a 1vitness in court prouccrlings. The typical motorist, when lu- suns :1 glaring case of dangerous driving, says to bim-"olf. ‘that fellow ought to be reported’. Perhaps hr {goes so far as to make a note of tbc liltllllllT. lur when he cools off be does nothing about it. "Fhcrc have been times,’ he thinks. ‘nhvn s~111cl>~<ly might have reported me-and didn't.’ .\u<l so the reckless chap goes clear.

When e motorist recovers dim- ages from a pedestrian. it. ls news. Such an incident is reported from England where an Ipswich motor- lat has been required to pay for the damage done when he swerved to avoid a pedestrian, but. has been held to be entitled to compensa- tion from the pedestrian. The Judgment apparently recognizes the primary responsibility oi the motorist for any damage which his car may do. It is reasonable that any one who undertakes to drive on s public highway should assume liability {or any damage which may result from the opera- tion o! his car. But. the unusual feature of the judgment is that; it recognizes that a. motorist, who is driving caretully and is suddenly confronted by an emergency creat- ed by the carelessness of a pedes- trian, is entitled to compensation ti’ in swerving to avoid that dang-

er he runs lnto other danger. - Toronto Telegram. One oi’ Napoleon's crown

Cabot’: landfall st. Jobnfioifv-(oundlendi

Historic: accounts at the voyage o! John Cabot appear to lino that the te-moul adventurer mede the landlall 1n the New World on June 24th, 1479, end while dispute: have arisen u to whet-her the land first sighted was on the eastern shore o! this Island or turther t» the westward, the use by seamen irom tint time on o! the name oi Newfoundland, the twat. that 1t. ls the most eastward pl-rt ot the New World, and the fleulcy that a navigator would have to reach, say, the shore o! Cape Breton without catching slght ot some part o! the bold coast: o! this coun would ell point. so strongly to the likelihood o! the landfall having been made here as to rebut eltectlvelv argu- ments tn the contrary.

There are not. so far as we are aware, any records to suggest that. the landfall made by Cabot; was St. John's. On Mason's map, made early in the seventeenth century to be used with Vsugherfs “Gold- en Fleece,’ ls marked opposite the point known as Cape Bonavlsta,l

Cape Bonavlsta, “Prlmum In- '

venta." Recently was obtained from

Paris by Mr. W. A . Munn the

certified copy ot a map, discover-

ed in the Venetian Archives in

1837. which bears out. that the

land first sighted by Cabot was the small island, situated off Cape

Bonavista and named St. John's

Ishnd. In existence as well is an

Italian letter, dated August. 23rd,

1497. and “written by Lorenzo Pnsqullgo to his brother in Venice, wherein he stated that John Cabot planted on the land which he had found a large cross, the banner of migland and also one of St. Mark as he was a Venetian.

It, ls by no means impossible that further information dealing with the expedition of Cabot and other voyagers to this country may come to light. The history of those days is still in the making.

Research workers are constantly unearthing buildings, implements. human remains and other relics that have in some cases recast; the story o! earlier times. This country otters almost a virgin field for such investigators, not only in connection with the .01:- cupation of the Island by peoples from the east but by the aborig- inal tribe, of which our knowledge ls limited. English, French, Span- ish, Portugese and others all play- ed a. pert ln the making of New- foundland history, sncl some a1‘ them left marks which we might have taken greater trouble to pre- serve. Some of our chapters o! history are written in the ruins of torts and the guns to be found on various parts o! the coast. Un- fortunately , many o! the forte w have been ellowed to disappear or the stone o! which they were built. have been removed, and guns have been purlolned to be sold u scrap. Old cemeteries have been lelf. neglected until the marking the burial places of early visitors and settlers have been broken down, removed or smash- ed to pieces.

The preservation of such ancient relics is a. matter engaging the closest attention today o! various countries. They are o! importance, not only as clues to history, but 1e objects 01' e attraction Ior tourists. ‘The Halifax Dally Star. for ex- emplie. eomngntedm mh ceny upon e eglnz w c had token place ofp the Lomsbur: guns. to the point where, ea one
