THOUGHTLESS MOTORING
TO THE EDITOB r . ■i* •' Sir .—-Allow me to complain about the uncalled-for action of a motorist who, about 5.50 a.m. on Saturday, tore through Fruitlands at a high speed and, when the Public Works Department camps came into his view, loudly sounded, the car horn, which was one of those stupid things that are supposed to imitate the siren of a city fire engine or a traffic inspector's car. and sounded it until he was out of sight of the camps. I wonder if he even thought for one moment of the sick and weary people in that camp and of the small children whom he was going to frighten out of their sleep. Had there been any need for it one could excuse the motorist. . who probably thought it a! great joke to annoy the sick people. It would be well for him and others like him to remember that they should do unto others as they would have them do unto them.—l am etc.. Peaceful. P.W.D. Camps. Fruitlands. Sept. 16.
