THE POPULAR BEAUMONT FOR 1967 .-.New Hoods and Fenders Featured Hospitality On The Highway | | Theme Of Centennial Project Initial plans are under way for the Canadian Highway Safe- ty Council's centennial project 'Hospitality on the High- way." Purpose of the project will be to convince every motor- ist in Canada that he is a "host" and, as such, he must treat all visitors as he would guests in his home. With this program of courtesy and thoughtfulness, the Council anticipates an increase in safer driving tactics from coast to coast, with an inevitable re- duction in road crashes, deaths and injuries. "With more than 30,00,000 visitors expected during 1967, Civic Affairs Meeting Topic g iopl "Men's Night" was celebrated by College Hill Home and School Association with guest speakers, Mayor Lyman Gif- ford and. Alderman Hayward Murdoch with the topic, "Civic Affairs". "Mr. Gifford described the function of each department of the present administration and said that one of the largestce- mands on finances today, came from education,' said corre- spondent secretary, Mrs. Wil- lima Trim. "In a discussion about city traffic, Mr. Gifford felt that the one-way streets have greatly reduced congestion of cars. 'We were also told that the city has purchased a green house for growing plants and flowers more economically," she said. Mr. Murdoch briefly outlined the functions of the board of control. said Phil Farmer, CHSC's Ex- ecutive Director, 'Canada's motirists must do all they can to make first impressions good. A visitor from another country or from another province will likely travel by automobile. His first impressions will be found- ed on the way he is treated by other motorists. If he meets with. courtesy and considera- | tion at every point, he will | take home wonderful impres- | sions of the place he visiied, If | he is met. with rudeness, | dangers and frightening exper- | iences, it is probable he will | never return, and will advise everyone he knows never to} make the trip." Mr. Farmer added, "If drivers conduct themselves as hosts to the visitors, Canada's | record of highway mishaps, | deaths. and injuries will be re- duced."' Details of the project will be} announced before the end of! the year. The Couneil hopes for } the assistance of ail safety and | service organizations as well| as industries and business in contact with the motoring! public. all } | "He stated that the council | is a child of the provincial gov- | ernment and that one of the! main duties of the board of con- | trol would be to budget and be | business directors of the city," | said Mrs. Trim. Following a lively question and answer period, the two gentlemen were thanked by Mrs. N. Gulenchyn. A brief business meeting was chaired by president, Mrs. Wil- liam Dearborn.

Security Views Challenge New Zealand Informality ¥ By J. C. GRAHAM Canadian Press Correspondent | AUCKLAND (CP)--The tradi- tion that every member of the public should be able to tell a cabinet minister all about his troubles is under challenge in New Zealand. Moves are afoot to give ministers more privacy, on the grounds of security and efficiency. Visitors to New Zealand are often astounded at the way any- one can buttonhole a minister, either in his office or at home. Some diplomats have been shocked to arrive at a minis- terial residence to find the door wide open and the minister pot- tering about in shirtsleeves. The tradition of accessibility even extends to an insistence that ministers should have their private telephones listed in the public directory. A few ministers decline to list their private telephones, but most do so, even though they are liable to be called by people with trivial matters to discuss , at any hour of the day or night, | Ministers' wives and families also sometimes are subjected to long abusive tirades. There is no policeman on duty outside Prime Minister Holy- oake's home and, like most New Zealand families, the Holyoakes do not employ a maid. On one occasion a woman | missing from am institution was | found fast asleep in a bed in | the prime minister's house. She | had walked in unchallenged. | There never has been a po- litical assassination in New Zea- land, but the slaying of South African Prime Minister Ver- woerd and the attempt this year on the life of the Australian opposition leader, Arthur Cal- well, have led officials to urge that greater precautions be taken in New Zealand. Holyoake has been subjected to occasional threats of physical harm in letters and by telephone callers. been a bet SONI OOM RIOR IY Fer eee A FEW '66.
