Incognito
By The Hawk
ACOM MON complaint of transport Operators—the
tcricimcy for shopkeepers and householders to omit the number from premises—was the subject of a resolution adopted by the National Chamber of Trade at their conference at Blackpool last week.
Mr. W. N. Dawson, a Scarborough haulier, contended that every street should be named at both ends and on both sides with plates at least 4 ft. from the ground, At present a man often had to drive past the end of a street before he could see the name by looking backwards.
Apart from saving time, clear identification of streets and przmises would ,promote safety by avoiding the need for n necessary reversing.
Hero
GREAT courage was shown last week by Mr. Harry Wright, of Leek, who, on the 1-in-12 gradient of Mill Street, Leek, deliberately turned his lorry into the path of a runaway trailer and probably saved the lives of six children who were playing on the footpath. He was shaken, but unhurt.

B.T.C. Warned
rAA WARNING that the British Transport Commission would create bitterness among traders was given by Mr. H. R. Caulfield Giles, chairman of the Traders' Traffic Conference, at the annual congress in Hull. He was speaking of the new railway demurrage scheme. The regulations which the railways were now proposing would, he said, fail in their object to speed up the turn-round of wagons. All the Commission would achieve would be bitterness and controversy among traders.
