should be done to prevent i and thats the way i intend to them i am only one in a million j travel in future these- were the k i i n words qf 91 mrs a l trites when she alighted from a transcanada air lines plane at the montreal airport after a journey from moncton nb where she lives after all a person of- 91 is not but my idea is not to put all the blame on the motorist and pedes trians i think 98 per cent of the blame should go to the manufac turer why i say that is because if cars were not built to go so fast we the motorists could not drive them so fast oh yes i can hear some people now calling me down butif they would take time out to figure the difference in time of a car travelling say 40 miles per hour and a car travelling at the rate of 80 miles per hour they would find that the difference is not worth therisk other people laugh at the idea they try and give me the argument about keeping up with the times well that is alright but all these -people- who are getting killed every day are they keeping up with the times some say put the old cars off the road how many old cars do you find in these bad smashes if you will take notice they are nearly all new cars cars that will do 50 1 60 and more miles per hour asfor keeying up with the times we are the times if we slow down i think times would slow down too- if all cars were built to go no more than 50 miles per hour nobody would be left behind itmight take you a little more uinie togetto where you are going but does that nntter il you get there alive instead of never getting there some say motorist should be more courteous courtesy is a fine thing for motorist to learn but you can not obey that rule if vou aredrivingfastforyou do not have time to give pedes trians courtesy no mv idea still haunts me cut down accidents by cutting down speed and you can ot cut down speed unless you can control it so if cars were built only to go a moderate rate of speed we would only be able to drive them so contributed
