It‘s time this nonsense stc:pped and file roads were built around all cities, towns and villages so that those who actually pay for these roads can have the use of them as they were intended. Everyone of these sections is a political favor which some indifâ€" ferent representative has pulled in the hope he will get more votes Not only are the sections of highway running through the actuali towns and cities p:ugged so they slow down traffic, but there are hundreds, probably thousands of miles of road within a few miles of J practically every city where the speed limit has been reduced to 30 miles per hour. This has come about through high handed dealings | by the Provincial Police, who feel that if enough residents of these areas complain, they have the right to erect thirtyâ€"mile signs and] make every motorist observe them. You don‘t have to travel far to | find such an area. Just drive through Kitchener towards Preston.[ Practically the full length of road which was designed as a highwayi to speed and facilitate the movement of highway traffic, is now plasâ€" tered with thirtyâ€"mile signs. The result is a bottleneck of traffic ten‘ times as dangerous as would be the same stretch of road if it was| left at fifty miles as the speed limit. f ‘ekem Cad d hss CaOl ht ds The soâ€"called highway then becomes cluttered with every local sign that particular community can erect, and supervised by their police force. tR rTomEraist Right now, practically every highway runs through several comâ€" munities of considerable size. The minute it enters one of these areas, it ceases to be a highway and immediately becomes a business street â€"usually the main street with the most stores on. While most highways across Canada all referred to as "through" highways, the reference is a joke in 99 per cent of the cases.

When you are emotionally upset you can be just as dangerous if you drive as you can if you drink and drive. If you are lucky, you come out of the accident with maybe a few bruises, the odd broken bone, and a few thousand dollars to pay out for the damage to your own and the other fellow‘s car. If your luck ran out, maybe you will face a manslaughter charge, or provide anâ€" other_dly's work for the undertaker you played golf with. ’ Supposing your boss has been in a bad mood all day. He has been riding your ‘ittle without actually meaning to, and you have taken it seriously. You go out and get in your car. Here is one place that you are boss. You have a lot of power, a lot of destructive force in your hands, and you tramp down hard on the accelerator. That guy driving in front of you. Who the heck does he think he is poking along even in town at thirty miles per hour. You swing the wheel and the car leaps aheadâ€"look outâ€"there‘s a car coming the other way.

Simply add water, mix to a heavy paste and brush it on. Were annually wont to cart their share Of stipulated tribute from their yield And from the produce of their callous hands, In any weather, over rugged roads, To the manorial castle on the hill Where an imposing drawbridge locked the gate Or spanned the gaping chasm of the moat ; But they could not demand the right of way And almost ditched their overloaded carts, So eager were they to clear off the road, Whenever they beheld their feudal lord Astride his steed, a flawless thoroughâ€"bred, rrepared to sally through his stronghold‘s gate GYVPTEX Or in the magic force of sorcery, We all believe beyond a shred of doubt In our perverted monetary game And build in every city sacred shrines Whereon we bank and pin security On flimsy paper notes which stand for gold And are preseryed in sturdy metal safes With secret timeâ€"locks and burglar alarms, For they are holyâ€"holiest of allâ€" And open only to the highest priests Who book the gambling we have legatized With loss and profit between man and man, Because it is the most intriguing game For those who are too stubborn or too blind To see its uselessness for all combined. While rules of trade bid us export much more Than we import of what we had before, And competition trains us to be sly And sell for more than at the price we buy, Each state is bound to drain its basic wealth And every citizen his mental health, For all may have to hear perdition rap, If each is plotting to dispose of scrap. Inside the courtyard of a Roman home Young slaves were standing patiently in line To have their earâ€"lobes nicked, like colts or calves, And tried to bear with pride the pain involved In being branded as the property Of their patrician master who appeared Out on the shaded marble portico, â€" After his customary daily bath, Relaxed and rather eager to recline Contentedly on his luxurious couch To be caressingly massaged by one And manicured and pedicured by four Of the most shapely of his female slaves Whose limbs were quite sufficiently undressed To thrill him with their youthful loveliness ; And each obliged him like a selfless toy By giggting at his tickling meekly coy.
