PINION Freeway Driving By O.P.P. Constable Ed Laas Travel on our Freeways is intended as the fastest and easiest means for ¢ motorist to get from one place to another, provided of course that all the rules of the road are followed. It should then be a safe and uneventful trip. But sometimes certain things occur on the freeway that can make any trip a nerve racking experience. For exampie: Entraneg ramps to the freeway are designed so that vehicies entering the highway have enough room to accelerate and then merge with traffic that is already on the freeway. How many times do you see a motorist that is enter- ing the freeway stop on the acceleration lane, crank his neck around to see if he can spot an opening and then pull out into the driving lane at 5 m.p.h.? Does the motorist not realize the danger he is creating by stopping on the acceleration lane? Or of the danger of pulling out at 5 m.p.h. in front of vehicles travelling 70 m.p.h.? Does he not realize that other motorists need time and distance to complete any moves that they have to make to avoid a collision? Even though the traffic in the immediate area can successfully avoid a collison, what of other traffic to the rear that are confronted with a maze of brake lights and vehicles changing lanes? Do they have the necessary time and distance to avoid a collision with the cars ahead? All this can be avoided if the motorist entering the freeway accelerates on the acceleration lane to the speed operation endangering no other users of the highway. Millions of dollars have been spent to design and build our freeways so that they are a'safe means of travel, but a freeway is only as safe as the motorists who drive upon it. Minor Hockey Week begins Saturday, January 23. Over a quarter of a million boys, from coast to coast, will be taking part. Adults im all parts of Canada will be watching, helping, cheering and having fun. Plan now to keep im step -- support Minor Hockey Week.

It can turn a fellow hunter into a bear, a deer, or even a fox or a rabbit. The Ontario Safety League stresses the necessity of positive game identification. Never release the safety catch until you can see the complete outline of the game you are hunting "| thought it looked like a deer," is a mighty poor ex- cuse for killing a fellow human being or maiming him for life.

BILL MILEY UGAR «> SPICE COOK OR A NURSE we was all very good for my wife's JUST CALL SMILEY nerves. Combined with the general slobbi- Thank goodness for work and routine. They re the best therapy there is in the neu- people agree with me. Looking back, I predicted a quiet hol- iday. And it started out all right. Kim came home from college a couple of days early, quite happy, just like her old self. But each day her face lengthened as she sorted the ness of young people - they all smoke makings and there's tobacco all over the floor; they eat and drink coffee in a continuous process for 24 hours and never come down with what seemed like sto- mach flu but to me was a break-down. She threw up regularly. She couldn't eat And I cooked everything from the Christmas goose to the New Year's ham. And washed dishes until I couldn't bear a TV commercial about the beautiful hands you have if you use Ivory soap. And didnt have time to watch TV anyway. And would come down in the morning to read my paper and find that the young gentlemen had seized a section each and were immersed in it and their third cup of coffee. But the worst thing of all was the complete lack of privacy. I am not anti- social, but I do need an hour or two a day to escape from people, read, think, sleep. The only privacy I had was when I locked myself in the bathroom, and then my wife would be shrilling from her bed, "Are the dishes done? Who's going to vacu- um the rug? There are four loads of washing in the basement!" The only other private moments were when I went shopping. And baby, I didn't hustle through the supermarket. | strolled work. 4 iT ii a rite apie rail Thi Thursday, January 10, 1946 Port Perry has received a new addition to its industrial life in the coming of the Lakeshore Knitting Co. from Toronto. .
