mrmwumm Published by Newman teBayneIdMBmmurto WKlallpPONifiu TUESDAY JANUARY III awnstanchion ahgad Keep Fools on The Roads Some Are Summer Drivers In China years ago missionary ob served coolies crossing an old rope bridge spanning deep gorge The ropes of the bridge were worn and frayed and looked Weak so the missionary asked Arent you afraid the rope will break No said one of the coolies Why not asked the missionary Because it never has wasthe reply Ihere are many motorists on the road who operate on this philosophy Some of them come under the category of summer drivers These are the people who speed into intersectionsand appw their brakes at the last moment In sum mer they usually get away with it but when streets are sliplplfry the find themselves in trouble ey usual react with hurt surprise when they becothm volved in an accident through their own carelessness The only way to educate many driv era is through the courts There need be no sympathy for the driver who does not drille according to road conditions The careless driver has no re ard for weather and road conditions ow of traffic or children on the streets He is the ty who speeds through intersec tions locks edestrian crosswalks and follows the var ahead through traffic signals that have turned red The value of strict police supervision is shown by the results of Christmas and New Years spot checks of cars in many Four Goals For Safety in an address to members of the Can adian Highway Safety Council thtieiJZo lymlectedcirairman JohnAtkinson of Toronto made some suggestions that are worthy of study He ro used four goals which he hoped wou stressed dui lng his twoyear term of office Mr Atkinson pro osed periodic re examination of all dr vers Because driver is capable of drivin today it does not necessarily follow at he will be either physically fit or mentally cap able of driving five years hence nor can we be sure he has kept abreast of the changes in the law literally millions of drivers in North America are out of date with current driving laws and regulations Periodic reexamination is the only method of as surlng the majority of drivers are quali fied to drive Urgin mandatory reexamination of all vehic es he said While we are un ableto pinpoint the fact that mechanical failure causes accidents there is grow larger cities there was marked de crease In the number of accidents The Hamilton Spectator aug eata that every day shouldbe tentlal ectlon day for motorists til it wont be costly solution in Canada alone It is esti mated that 0100000000 year would befineeded to hire 20000 extra traffic po ce Howeverthe Spectator believes the cost would beworth it if present spot cheats records could be maintained main on their toes if theyknew police min on their toes if they know olice vigilance would be on the verge nag ing all year long We think it would ftheamazlngly clean accident record of Connecticutwherevigilance is yeanlong proves this especially if there were pain ul lpenalties for faulty cars as well as for fun ty drivers It is ridiculous to stream that in creasing police vigilance verging on han assment deprives us of some of our hardwon freedoms Sillyfool drivers should be constantly reminded that there is really nothing In any bill of rights that guarantees anyone the freedom to de prive others of life health and property Only fathead could argue that selfish and irresponsible boob in Toonerville car has as much right on highway as citizen who obeys the rules all the my log belief this is at least contributory ni Iodicrinspectionaisfi per cent necessity if we are to eliminate this factor as possible cause of accl dentsll The issuance of drivers licence should be privilege and not ti ht he continued One of the qua fica tions for this privilege should be an agreement to undergo proper chemical tests when re nested by the roper au thorities Agan accident sta tics show that in socially unacceptable number of accidents admission of alcohol intake is often made even though the driver may not appear to be drunk Training for all before the granting of an operators licence it person with bad driving habits or poor knowledge of driving regulations cannot possibly teach another person to drive properly yet this is how most drivers are taught Again driving is privilege not right and we should not permit unqualified peo le to drive powerful and complex mac lnes without proper training OTHER canons VIEWS INSTANT POLITICS Winnipeg Tribune This enforced enfranchlsement could get Canada into trouble After all 18 yearrolds are
