PAGE TWO . _ With the first long weekâ€"end of hooves every driver to take stock n condition, but his own driving habits eUHLTLEUITT PSR Mome MOTOOM Mss Cns COnmies The rush and bustle of modern living infuse many drivers with the desire to hurry even when they have no particular time deadline to meet. It becomes a habit to do everything at top ‘speed, and while speed itself is not particularly dangerous, the effort needed to make speed on present day highways is demanding of both muscle and UEERT. ‘There is nothing more infuriating than the slow driver and even those normally careful will fret along behind him only so long. ‘Then they take chances, and it is the chances taken by the average driver that causes accidents. ~ As a general rule, the professional driver, such as the trucker, is a better driver than the man who may use his car a couple of times a week for going down town. He, through constant association, has the feel of his vehicle and knows what ‘he can expect from it in a tight situation. On the other hand the casual driver of a private car may or may not know what his car is capable of, but even if he does, lack of driving time prevents him from having judgment of distance and acceleration so necessary to preserving life under moâ€" dern driving conditions. 7 M e en e Editorial Comment NT ETT U oE Re O ctsens ‘ The moral would then seem to be that the onceâ€"aâ€"week driver when using the highways on a holiday weekâ€"end, must exercise all restraint possible. His driving should, if he hopes to stay alive, deâ€" pend entirely on traffic conditions. After all there isn‘t much point in his taking chances if he arrives at his destination in a pine box.

John waved his hand at the broad green lawns, the. neaf walks, the carefully pruned trees, and the luxurious gardens. In a ‘Laualm vuice he said, "Boy, you can smell money here! 1 wonder if the rich kids born here know what a break they get!" He went on at some length to complain bitteriy about the difâ€"|° ference between the rich and the|‘ poor. It was plain that these bproad green lawns annoyed him a good deal. He is a skilled | mechanic, and his wages are quite high, so I was a little bit|, surprised at the angry tone of his voice, but I said nothning. At the outskirts of the city we picked | |up Bert and went on up north.| It was too late for fishing when ‘vw arrived, but we had a few rounds of cards and then went to ‘u(‘d By six o clock next morning we were out on the lake.

But as he described it, I sudaerly realized that his |obscrvation had failed him in one ‘limportant thing. al We fished again next morning. Three men in a boat. Our lawns, at home, had a tawny, unkempt look. My back porch sagged. John‘s hedge could have done with a clipping Bert‘s yard looked looked like a vacant lot. I think. in the long run, most ali men are in pretty much the same boat. They have to make a enorce as to what they really want. It is foolish to envy or be bitter about what the other felâ€" low has. You can be almost cerâ€" tain that he worked hard to get it. We should be grateful that there are lovely residential areas to drive through‘ If everybody kept their property like John and Bert and me, 1 am afraid cities would look even worse than they do. I stull prefer to go fishing on a â€" weekâ€"end â€" but I hold no 'grudge against the man who stays |at home and works!

At 15 miles an hour most drivers can turn in an adequate performance. .,,,,N,.m..' competent he may have been, he was a menace on the street that day. Presumably now, a week later, he still a menace on the road. 7. + While police are manning safety lanes this month to check the mechanical conditions of cars, it is ridiculous to tolerate old crocks which obviously have long since passed the "safe" stage. What better time than Safcty Month for provincial officials to crack down on these old dangerous cars which are incapable of sate speeds? Fifteen miles an hour, or even 30 miles an hour is not a safe speed on highways where the speed limit is 50 At the same time, there must be crackâ€"down on issuing licenses to drivers who can‘t read or write English. $ The trust and responsibility inherent in for more yealistic thinking. It is not enough around a block. . If human life is properly valued, a car needs to have more than four wheels in questionable working order, and a driver needs a lot more than the ability to steer in a straight line for a block or two. Without stiff enough requirements, the effort that goes into Safeâ€" ty Month is rather futile. * Some Vital Part May Break If Current Trend Continues x (From Montreal Monitor) Farmers know that if you overload a horse or tractor, breakdow n usually follows. The same thing is true of the family budget. Overâ€" load it with too many expenditures and disaster follows. Strangely enough, few people seem to realize that an overloadâ€" ed national economy is just as subject to collapse and disaster as the family budget or the farm tractore Demund, as some do, that the country and the government perform tusks that are beyond the capacity of the economic system and trouble is sure to follow. \ Panada‘e economy has been described by more than one eminent Canada‘s economy has been described by more than one eminent observer of national and interhational affairs as a ‘higlâ€"cost econoâ€" my‘. It is a highâ€"cost economy because it is being called upon to bear, at one and the same time, such burdens as defence, social welfare, uniformly high living standards, full employment and free collective bargaining, which tend to drive production costs ever higher. Manifestations of this overloading may be found in the public‘s growing preference for lowâ€"cost imports and the decreasing preferâ€" ence of people in other countries for Canada‘s highâ€"cost exports. If such preferences continue unchanged for much longer, some vital part of the economy will break under the strain. The breakdown manifests itself in the first instance in a decline in employment. The only way of avoiding such a breakdown is to ease the burden now imposed upon the national economy. The problem of Trade Union reform in the United Kingdom has | been brought to the front by the action of the Cummunistâ€"comrolled! Electrical Union in ordering men to strike against their will. t Here are some of the recommendations advocated by the British Liberal Party and set out in "The Liberal News". On all questions of major importance, a secret postal ballot should be taken, and at least sixty per cent of all members should vote before any decision may become effective. ' At branch meetings a quorum of thirty per cent of the members should be necessary before any effective vote can be taken. Union officers and executives should be elected by a voting sysâ€" ‘lem such as proportional representation, which ensures that all shades of opinion within the union will be represented. ‘ “ The system of the "block vote" to be abolished. | While the right to strike is preserved, every branch of industry should have some agreed form of conciliation and arbitration procg~» dure. If a strike takes place before the conciliation and arbitration. ‘ procedure is used, Unions would be liable to appropriate damages; ‘!cmpluyees would be similarly liable for lockâ€"ouls ordered without }"cuncihaticn and arpitration procedure | Every worker wouid be encouraged to join a Union of his own '_tchuice but would not be forced to join uny Union selected by fellowâ€" ; workers or employer.

B No Trade Unionist should pay a subscription to any political * party unless he really wants to. If he does not want to, he can still j | be a loyal member of the Union with the same rights and privileges : | as those who subscribe to "Party funds". s No Union should be affiliated to a political party untess that is | the clearly expressed desire of a majority of the Union. (From The Financial Post) ‘ Between prosperity and recession stands only one real dyke, Carroll M. Shanks, president of the Prudential Insurance Co., o(‘ America, told the Association of Canadian Advertisers. That dyke is consumer confidence. Undermine it and consumption falls, producâ€" ] tion declines and jobs start to evaporate ‘ If we are to continue to enjoy prosperity, as Mr. Shanks points out, then it is essential that consumer confidence be maintained, that the consumer be encouraged to go on buying more goods. Mr. Shanks put it this way: "Our entire economy is founded upon confidence. When people have confidence, they work better, eatn more, and spend more. When business has confidence, there are investments in capital quipment, improvements in products and higher production. When distributors and dealers have confidence, they stock up, promote enthusiastically and increase sales. All this distributes and consumes goods at a high rate. As long as this sequence of event continues, prosperity is well based P c n ne on s n dnc sicth UECEC "The importance of confidence becomes crystal clear when you realize that possibly half of everything people buyâ€"half our total national productionâ€"consists bof things people can manage to do without if pressed, or can postpone buying for a considerable length of time." 1 . c Eenc d s thke There is a most important lesson here for all concerned in the production and distribution of goods, and especially at this time when our economy is adjusting itself after a long period of short supply Timidity now in pushing sales, in determining advertising appropriaâ€" tions and other promotion and in going ahead with planned plant eÂ¥nansion. could seriously threaten our national prosperity and our expansion growth C000 Purchasing power in this country is not drying up.
