The subject of traffic accidents is also widely discussed, yet too many motorists consider it to be something about which they can do next to nothing. The 688 people killed in Ontario last year would, no doubt, have thought differently. Last Saturday night on the new highway between Terrace Bay and Schreiber, there were two serious accidents in a matter of minutes. Fortunately no one was killed, but circumstances indicate that it might easily have been otherwise. With traffic increasing, and accidents increasing in the vacinity of Terrace Bay, we must all realize by now that accidents can and do happen right in our own backyard. It should also be apparent that unless we drive carefully we may be the next to be involved in a traffic accident with serious injury or death resulting from our negligence or carelessness, Here are a few basic rules which should always be observed when driving: 1. Observe the speed limit. &» Don't drive with faulty brakes or steering. 5. Reranber that alcohol and gasoline don't mix, ; 4, On new stretches of highway in particular, remember that soft shoulders are treacherous, 5. Always drive carefully - the life you save may be your own, 0-0-0 WEEK-END SOFTBALL GAMES Sunday August 15th - Terrace Bay Ball Field 5:30 p.m. House of Cavanaugh vs All Star Girls 6:50 p.m, Terrace Bay Comets vs All Star Mens
