Like practically every other moâ€" dern skill these days, today‘s drivâ€" ing habits and drivers have been analyzed with miscroscopic preciâ€" sion and the investigators, psychoâ€" logical, analytical and factual, have come ug with the goods. But that‘s old stuff. The emphasis now is on remedial measures: what can be done to correct bad driving habits? The man with probably the best answer is Professor Amos E. Neyâ€" hart, administrative head of the Inâ€" stitute of Public Safety, Pennsylâ€" vania State College, and staff conâ€" sultant for the American Automoâ€" bile Association on road u'llnl“nt. The author of several books on driving, he é\numed his _ first course in the U.S. on driver educaâ€" tion and training for new drivers This doesn‘t mean that Mr. Avâ€"| erage Driver has any right to crow, though even if tests do show that this large medium group can proâ€"| duce good drivers. It takes more | than an ability to step on the gas or use a brake to become an expert. Modern driving is serious business. A good driver must be emotionally, mentally and physicall{ sound. For | one thing, he can‘t be thinking | about June moons or that income | tax payment and at the same time | keep his mind on the wheel, on the nighway and on the man in the other car. Nor is he likely to °sâ€" cape trouble if his eyesil{nt is so poor that he finds difficulty in hitâ€" | ting &A barn door broadside at twenâ€" ty paces. . According to educators and psyâ€" chologists, those who are far below uverage in intelligence are forever getting into traffic difficulties beâ€" cause they are not mentally alert But the genius is no better. He gets into highway hot water beâ€" cause his mind is usually on abâ€" stract things. Are yoti a moron or a genius? If cither, then the chances are that you automatically become a public menace once you get behind the wheel of car, truck or bus and press down on the accelerator, Drivers To Be Taught To Drive Properly PAGB TWO Even this abuse could be tolerated in a mild, form if the Governâ€" ment would start putting something back, so that Canadians may enjoy some of the privileges offered with such abandon to the tourists. In their advertising for tourists our government tells them of the wonders of our unspoiled northland. They do not state that from all the revenue they derive from this wilderness, not one cent is spent on restocking the rivers and lakes and covers in that part of the province. Neither do they tell that this great wilderness has practically never seen a game warden, and that even the southern parts of the province are so badly in need of proper patrolling that getting away with violations of the game laws is a cinch for anyone. No, they don‘t tell too muchâ€"just enough to get the people to come here and spend their money so that the government revenue is boosted, and take their toll of fish and game that is the rightful heritage of Canadians We do not mean by this that Americans should not be welcomed to this country and allowed to indulge in fishing and shooting. Far from it. Many of our American friends are as fine a group of sportsâ€" men as you will find anywhere, but there is a minority, that take as many fish and as much game as it is possible to get; even to the point of catching fish for pictures and then throwing them in the bushes. If a good portion of the multitude of taxes that are collected when ! these visitors come to our country were turned back into the countrfl as insurance that our fish and game would never reach the “almoslf extinet" stage, then we would always have something for our children| to enjoy, and the tourists also. j There is admittedly a niggardly stipend set aside for conservation |sical "ha"a'{ieffisi‘ri&‘bvf“lvfieâ€"_l{n‘d{\;;a- and preservajtion of wild life, but it is so small that little good can f:‘:l a“gd"h;)'r influence on his drivâ€" ever be accomplished with it. wxgth airlis ownafgnunx;tio::cgngr;xer If a g_ood portion of the multitude of taxes that are collected when :gest appropriate remedies or megg- these visitors come to our country were turned back into the country ods of compensation.> r p PERCCCRD CC O RMCC EUCMLSC UMIS WAy. It What the Canadian Government does not tell, is that regardless of will teach supervisors of motor what happens to Canadian wild life resources, they are apparently ‘jfleegs to study their driversâ€"to stuâ€" interested only in American dollars. . _ ;f}f_n';hf‘_’j‘_‘i'{'fl_': emotional and phyâ€" With at least one jaundiced eye cocked in the direction of their own pocket books, our Government is waging an all out campaign to bring Americans who have money in their pockets to Canada for their holidays. Naturally with such a campaign, the main emphasis is laid on the fact that we have thousands of miles of territory that has not yet been subjected to bill boards, lumber interests and the influx of "tin can tourists" One thing that is glaringly prominent in each and every fresh blast from these politiciansâ€"they never mention how they are going to house and feed these people if and when they are brought into the country. Let one of them produce a good foolâ€"proof housing scheme, and then start their propaganda on immigration. What the "immigrationists" are after is not so much a bigger and wealthier Canada, as apparently a bigger and richer Government. It is common knowledge that the majority are paid too much now for what they do. The size of our Government is a standing joke among nations of even ten times our population. Canada‘s troubles have little or nothing to do with immigration. What we need more than anything else is a smaller, more intelligent Government, better paid, composed not of political parasites, but of prominent business men, who would be more concerned with running the country in a businessâ€"like way, than in trying to get everything they can, for as little as they can do. Someone, and it is far past time, should ask these political spouters, why they should be tryingâ€"to convince the people of Canada that it is necessary to have all these extra people living in Canada in order that Canadians may earn a decent living. It wasn‘t necessary before the war, but since the war the peoples of Europe have been casting envious glances at Canada as a haven where there will be neither wars or want, and now according to our politicians we need these people to help us live. The lads on Parliament Hill are still trying to "sell" Canadians that the only way to cure this country‘s ills, is by large scale immiâ€" gration. Immigration, they tell us (the immigrationists of course) will cure unemployment, and will make this country so wealthy and selfâ€" dependent that if necessary we could be completely isolated and still be a selfâ€"contained nation of happy people.

You buy eggs by the dozen, milk by the quart, meat by the pound. By what measure do you buy electricity? You buy electricity by the kilowattâ€"hour, and you should know what a kilewattâ€"hour cun do for you. An electric lamp or appliance is usually marked "60 walts", 500 watts", "1000 watts", as the case may be. The mark simply indicates the number of watts of electricity that the lamp or appliance will use. A kilowott is simply 1000 watts. A kilowattâ€"hour is 1000 watts used for one heurâ€"or 100 watts for ten hours. $0 that one kilowattâ€"hour will operute your 1000 walt electric iron for one hour. And at what a small cost! The Polish Government is deâ€" porting Germans at the rate of 5000 per day, and it is expected that there will be no Germans in Poâ€" land after July 15, excepting a small number detained for help in starting the farms and 10,000 priâ€" soners of war.
