Cheer In Christmas But Not In Man At Wheel This Is the season for good will and good cheer Some of the ood cheer tak es the form of alcoholic everages The Bible says take little wine for thy stomachfs sake but the police have their own ideas about drinking if the imbiber intends to get behind the wheel of car The tolerance for alcohol varies great ly What could knock one man over might not faze another Consequently impair ment by alcohol in the legal sense could come alter the first drink or two for some drivers but not bother the man who had four or five or even more Judgin fitness behind the wheel is very diff cult thingespecially for tho drinker himself Some men so they can drive better with little alco ollc stim uiatlon Perhaps they can but statistics are against them Even one drink Im pairs to degree It may not show up in clarity of eye or steadiness of hand But it could slow down reflexes at time when splitsecond action Is necessary to avoid mishap Only the driver himself can decide as to his safe intake of alcohol Safety auth orities say If you drink dont drive and if you drive dont drink This advice may forestall that glow of good cheer that all of us like to rich ieve with or without alcohol But it is the most sensible that can be given at the Christmas season More people will be on the road and more than average number will be drinking Some people must remain sober and they should be the drivers Make it tea or coffee for the road Or take taxi if you plan to drink something stronger DOWN MEMORY LANE 25 YEARS AGO IN TOWN Barrie Examiner Dec 1030 litur ray
