Schreiber detachment OPP Report Watch for bicycles Spring is finally here and the snow is off the roads. Now onto the road come bicycles of all shapes and sizes with all shapes and sizes riding them. THese bicycles do not always travel on the right side of the road and do exactly as they should. Motorists must beware of these bicyclists and drive with extreme caution. Remember, the speed limit in town is 50 Km/hr. (That is the maximum limit, not what you should be normally driv- ing.) Holiday Weekend The O.PP. appreciate the safe driving habits exhibited during the four-day Easter weckend. In the province, accidents were down 18 per cent, and the number of fatal motor vehicle accidents were cut over 50 per cent. Many motorists noticed there was an increase in enforcement by Traffic Act charges. There were no motor vehicle accidents on our roadways during this period. Increased enforcement During the month of March, the Schreiber O.PP. investigated seven motor vehicle accidents, including one snow vehicle accident which resulted in the driver being hospi- talized. Enforcement of the Highway Traffic Act increased during March with 92 charges being laid by the Schreiber Detachment. two impaired drivers were taken off the roadway, and three 12-hour suspen- sions were issued. R.LD.E. Program The O.P.P.-R.I.D.E. Program (Reduce Impaired Drivers Everywhere) is continuing through- out the year on both weeknights and weekends.

The recent graduates of the Babysitting Course offered through the Terrace Bay Recreation Centre were on hand to receive their diplomas last Thursday. Course instructor Mrs. Martha Lavallet taught the 32 'guardians' subjects such as child care and nutri- tion, safety, toys and games, and behaviour. The course was sponsored by the Terrace Bay Police Department, and Const. Wes Fenton was on hand to present certificates and maintain order.

Locally, the Schreiber Detachment laid 40 Highway from page 2 ture of Canada etched forever on our senses. Just west of Swift Current one August, 'the land is so dry the sil- ver willows are lead-coloured and the tumble-weed can't mature enough to tumble.' At Treherne we experienced our only moment of unease. We were the sole occupants of a large and lovely campground and had gone to bed -- darkness and strangeness all around -- when motorcycles headlights slashed the night. Their engines set the beat for our hearts, and we reached out for the reassuring feel of our hunting knives and watched the cyclists' circuit of the park. The night stilled and darkened. Then again...lights! Car headlights plus the flashing red roof lights of a police patrol car! And so to sleep. One expects good organization from government parks, and across Canada they deliver. But the private campsites reflect the variety of per- sonalities required to describe the Canadian scene. At Gurney, one senses a cre- ative, almost pixie interest in attracting campers. On one of the outdoor tacilities there is a wedge- shaped rubber device the rest of us would call a doorstop. With rare and unarguable logic, Harry stops that door with a nail driven through the middle of this device on the doorframe, so that when one turns it sideways it stops the door from sagging open. On the other facility the same result is obtained with a 4" length of garden hose slit lengthwise, with a nail driven through the middle of this device on the door frame. When one tums it sideways, it stops the door from sagging open. To open the door, one grasps the lid of a ketchup bottle which has been nailed to the door. So whether you throw a tarp over the picnic table and craw] into your sleeping bag underneath, or adjust the thermostat in your mobile home at bedtime, get out and meet all ef your countrymen, Canada --thevy're vreat people." drive safely, and IF YOU DRINK, PLEASE DON'T DRIVE.
