Published by Canadian Newspaper bin is Boyfiold semi cam PAGE FOUR Using Brakés SATURDAY DECEMBER On CarLees In Good Drive Judgment You waste money every time you apply The Ontario Safety League would like all drivers to realize that they are liter ally burning money when car is being braked Extra gasoline will be needed to pick up speed again and no one needs to he reminded that gas costs money It is not small item The cost of gas used in accelerating after stop or check is substantidl For instance it has been computed that acceleration from stops take one gallon in every three used by trucks Every driver needs to have good brakes and to use them at times But neariy every driver would operate his car better if he used his brakes less Officers of the Civil Service Associay tlon of Ontario have lustifled com plaint over misleading publicity on Christmas holidays for the civil serv ants Executive Secretary Harold Bowen of Mlnesing says the public is being giv en the false impression that the public servants had been granted seven and half days for Christms This is not true The civil servants work one fiveday week basis Whether it was Christmas or any other time of the year they would not be working on Sat urdays and Sundays Christmas Day falls on Friday this year and the employees are being given holiday on December 24 One way to cut down braking is to use better judgment Look well ahead and try to arrive at the intersection on the green if the light is red as you approach roll the last 50 feet at few miles an hour giving the light chance to change while you are still in motion and able to make smooth quick pick up in sec ond gear for too many people drive at speed right up to red light brake to sudden stop and then have to start again in low gear few seconds later Another way to reduce unnecessary braking is to keep bigger gap ahead of you in traffic so that you do not have to hit the brake every lame the car ahead slows down momentarily Keeping proper distance from other traffic helps to save gas dollars it may also help to save your life Holidays This will permit hundreds of outofbown civil servants to go home for Christmas Day At New Years they will be given time off from midday December 31 This plan gives civil servants the op portunity to spend the holiday with their families It is also to be noted that hill hospital and police staffs will be on duty on both Christmas Day and New Years Day All of the essential services must be maintained as they are outside of the government servite The holiday schedule involves only an additional one and one half days al though even that is pleasant windfall in the way of Christmas holidays Opinions olOlher Newspapers NIGHT GOWN REVIVAL Hamilton Speclator The news from Vienna Austria that feminine members
