JEFFREY Colborne Phone 238 FRESH AIR AND COFFEE BREAKS REDUCE HIGHWAY ACCIDENT RISK Rest before starting out on a long trip, don't try to drive too far in a day, stop for regular coffee-breaks on the highway, make sure you are psychologically fit to drive, and you stand a pretty good chance of spending an accident-free year. This advice comes from R. B. Baillie, president of the continent-wide American Association, of Motor Vehicle Administrators and Commissioner of Motor Vehicles for the Province of Manitoba. Mr. Baillie, who is also chairman of the committee on motor vehicle administration of the Canadian Highway Safety Conference said that the driver's state of mind and fatigue after many hours sjiant at the wheel are contributing factors to most highway accidents. Mental impulses and fatigue are behind a__great many current violations of traffic rules and errors which cause accidents, Mr. Baillie says. The well known Canadian highway SLOW DOWN AND LIVE The nation-wide campaign against excessive speed in the U.S., receiving active support from each state through its Governor and Official bodies is regarded as a very long step forward in that Country's safety activities. Wm. M. Greene, chairman of the National Conference of State Safety Co-ordinators, points out that " 'Slow Down and Live' answers a decades-old prayer by every highway safety man worth his salt in the country, a prayer for co-ordination, co-operation and concentration of effort." Referring to a resolution adopted by the 46th annual meeting of the Governor's Conference, he said: "Most of our driver irresponsibility is associated with the headlong rush -- the thoughtless urge to get there first and fastest. On the public highways, this in a hurry' attitude manifests itself in excessive speed, speed too fast for conditions, improper passing, following too closely and failing to yield the right of way . . . "Slow down and live is more than a slogan. It is a new code of traffic conduct, to which we must adhere if we are to combine fine highways and fine vehicles for our enjoyment and our economic advancement." safety expert cautions motorists against driving when they feel sleepy, worried, upset or preoccupied. "Driving on today's congested highways is North America's favorite outdoor sport, so you must keep in good shape at all times," Mr. Baillie says, "Long drives slow up your reflexes, overtax your nervous system, reduce your seeing ability unless you stop now and then for some exercise and a cup of coffee of some other nonalcoholic beverage. "It is good to engage in conversation, but always keep your eyes on the highway, and avoid arguing. Allow fresh air to circulate through the car, and do not insist on doing all the driving when your wife or another licensed driver can replace you for a while. "Let weather and road conditions govern your speed even if you are not exceeding posted limits. "And remember it is better to reach your destination late than never." Drive Carefully: Government figures covering all provinces but Quebec show that in .955-traffic fatalities totalled 2,084 and traffic injuries 49.- Shortage of freight cars at the end of the Second Word War emphasized just how much Canada depends on rail transport.
