Post Department Ottawa 1851 THE EDITORIAL PAGE WEDNESDAY SIXTEEN HUNDRED AND SIXTYFIVE LICENCE REVIEW The rising cost of automobile in surance in Canada does suggest that provincial governments would do well to give heed to the removal from the highways of those drivers are notorious for causing accidents The re newal of a licence should depend on more than the ability to pay a few dollars If it is obvious by the record that a driver has abused his pri vileges or is accidentprone the re newal of his licence becomes an anti social act MEDICOHESION Provincial and federal governments appear to be heading into debates with out end and problems unlimited in their efforts to promote medical care and allied services for the people of this country Suggestions alterations and amendments will come by the carload before the issue has an appearance of satisfying the majority One thing seems to he lacking in all these plans and that is assurance of some hind that the patient will be able to find medical or surgical help If and when it is needed At the present time for some years past the situation has been confusing to say the least was a time when calling a doctor was routine matter limited mostly by the doctors ability to find adequate transportation In todays efficient modern world If you happen to he an Eskimo or situat ed at an outpost In Baffin Land you Can obtain almost instant medical aid by the most modern methods including helicopters the facilities of the and all the forces of federal or provin cial departments but get Hick in some thriving Ontario municipality with about doctors listed in the phone book and you might as well be in the Sahara Desert unless the same doctor who brought you into the world still happens to he around BICYCLE RIDERS School is out and the streets are full of cyclists but how many of these cyclists will be experts at handling their twowheeled vehicles Not enough It is just as difficult to become an ex pert bicycle rider as it is to become an expert baseball or hockey player You have to have natural ability and know and understand the rules Cyclists have a responsibility when they share the road with others and they must think about what they might do and be ready for unexpected actions Riding a bicycle is in many ways just like driving a car Learn and practise the traffic regula tions Watch out for the other driver be extra courteous in traffic and stay alert Expert bicycle riders stay in single file ride close to the curb with out weaving or wobbling do not show off keep both hands on the handle bars do not ride
