Thousands of miles of lousy roads mark the heavy traffic concentrations. Thousands of miles of excellent high speed hizhways mark the north Country where there is no just ifieahlo excuse for roads to exist. Who in hell do they think they are kidding with all this, safety patter? The safe driver is not the slow driver. Nine times out of ten the slow driver holding up twenty others behind him is Some goat out for his Sun- day drive or some young slob with his arm nround a girl. Does the Department of High ways or the Provincial Police One thine sure. A man that doesn't slow his vehicle at every school, at every gather- ine of youngsters, is taking an awful chance.

THE KIDS ARE BACK to school again and judging from the behaviour of our small son. they were glad to see the end of the summer holidays. Guess I must have just been a bum at heart cause I was always sorry to see the end of holidays. Return of these children in numbers to our city streets presents an additional problem to car drivers, who must not only watch his own vehicle but these of the children. The big companies hare been notorious during the past few years for buckling under to any strike that might occur. Of recent months they have shown lens and less in- clination to let strikers have their own way. Could he that lie hand writing is on the wail and that most firms have gone as far as they intend to, Some of the strikers now walking the street could be ahovelling them this winter if they insist on some of their demands. Incidentally, I wonder how many union officials are draw- ing any less because the men who retain them are not get- ting paid at all. Other strikes we starting to show up " on: the place like A rash on a baby’s belly. Most of them are by men who even now ere earning a great deal more than their netaal knowledge and eqratrilitietr merit.
