rate twice as high as the rest of the popu lationland they also kill 50 per cent more people in these accidents So stated McGlllivray assistant division manager of Imperial Oil in an address to contestants who had particip ated in the finals of provincewide safe driving competition earlier in the day This safe driving competition which was open to teen age boys and girls who had previously won regional tests in var idus parts of the province was jointly sponsored by the Windsor Junior Cham ber of Commerce and imperial Oil It was also supported by gov ent authorit ies civil officials represent atives of safety lnaln spooker An Assumption Col drivers were recip sed the growing importance of ill youthful drivers more safety con ic us and cognizant of their responsi gun dog is ill the business of killing drivers paramount concern should al ways he the avoidance of injury Yet good gun dog and good driver have at least one thing in common They will al ways honor point When working in the field good dog not only checks for game he keeps his eye on his kennel mate If the first dog isets to point at quarry the second retriever instantly freezes also pointing in the same direction even though he cannot see the bird good driver follows the same prin ciple another car brakes without ap parent cause or changes lanes unexpect edly or falls to move of when the way seems clear he is immediately on the alert to find the reason He slows down or even stops honoring the point of thaotber driver though he can not see the cause of theifset common example of this pointed out bility while behind the wheel of car In many parts of our country Mr McGiiilvray declared the car popula tion is increasing twice as fast as the human population Therate of growth of our car population is far greater than that of the United States There is an enormous backlog of highway building to be donein this country Our streets and highwaysaie going to be more crowded than ever This means there will have to be much more concentrat ed effort to educate and create safe driv ers among our young people today so that they will carry these habits and at titudes into the more congested driving conditions of tomorrow The speaker endeared himself to fe male members of the audience when in the course of his remarks he said Wo men drivers including those in their teens are known men Some men may not agree with Mr McGliiivlay but we have to admit his remarks about the women are probably true by the Ontario safetyLeague occurs at busy intersection Held up by the red light at the cross walk are two lanes of traffic headed by car on the curb side and truck in the passing lane As the light turns green the car roars off with jerk but the truck does not move There isnothing in sight to hold up the fol lowing car in the curb lane but the good driver there does not take off at normal speed He edges up to see what is holding up the truck driver and often finds it is an anxious pedestrian half way across the road who could be tum ed into crumpled heap by moment of impatience Always use your head when you are driving And your heart Keep the pos sible needs of other road users in mind and donate few seconds of driving time whenever an uncertainty arises to be used for their additional protection and comfort Yours too Opinions of Other Newspapers means as NAME iHamillon

China es in its isolation from the rest of the world it might start war out of mistaken desperahoa out of megaomania of just plain ignorance of what it was alerting Most of this isolation is certainly of its own making and there is perhaps not much the United States can do about it But certainly to some ex tent we have contributed to it We have discourV aged wherever possible all trade with Red China We have thrown up barriers against travel of Red Chinese to this country including Chinese newspapennen and we have frowned upon such travel in other countries in the nonCommunist world even when we have not been able to stop it This has notcreated the ignorance of the Red Chinese leaders about the world but it has done much to dissipate it One can hardly guarantee that if there were freer flow of trade in and out of Red China if Red Chinese newspapermen and others could visit the United States if recip rocally United States newsmen and others could Visit in Red China would be educated thereby But pretty clearly the isolation in ignorance is likely to persist as long as none of these things happen glnson in charge assisted by Rev Beyo un of Toronto former pastor of 52 years

lowkeying his addresses almost throughout He tries to chat them rather than fire them and only once or twice will hit high spot of emphasis This is probably one reason why he has stressed receptions
