You can tell by observing driving skills, attitudes toward rules of the road - and toward authority In general. So temper your prohibit- ions with judgment and with sympathy. • Dr. Lawrence Schlesinger, a safety expert at George Wash- ington University, says: "Don't forget that, to the boy, the car is vitally important. To him it's the introduction to adulthood.It's more than just fun. It finally happened...I was stood •up . . . and not by a. female, but by a fellow, I now realize how you gals must fee when you primp,, looking forward to a special night and the door- bell never rings. But this is the end of the story so back to the beginning. A couple of weeks ago I was informed that Jean-Claude Killy would be in Toronto for a couple of days promoting Head Skis, the company which has signed. him to a lucrative con- tract. Killy I was told, had a full itinerary, but it would be possible to. have a 30-minute lunch with him for a private interview.- A time and place lire arrang- ed. A few days„ before the' meet -ing, Archie MaeDonald, who was organizing Killy's Toronto visit, telephoned to confirm our ar- rangement. It was explained to him that a youth writer from The Toronto Telegram weld also be in attendance. That was fineup with him. Secretary Sharon, when she heard of the arrangement, men- tioned that she would like to meet Jean-Claude. No harm in that, she was leld. The meeting was arranged for 1.45 p.m. The three of us left the office at 1.15 in order to be on time. We waited a few. minutes in the hotel lobby, then headed to the lounge where -we were to meet, Killy and Mac- Donald. By 2 p.m. we began to be- come slightly apprehensive. At 2.10 we ordered another drink. We took turns making'up ex- cuses as to why Killy was late. Between 2.10 and 2.30 I made about nine trips from the lounge to the lobby looking for our tardy guests. At 2.45 we all came to the conclusion -that Killy wasn't gelling to show. We headed for the coffee shop, but not before I 'Went to the front desk and told the desk clerk that if anyone ar- rived lOoking for me or tele- phoned, I could be reached in the coffee shop. Also, I asked if there had been any phone calls enquiring of our where- abouts. The reply was negative. At 3.15 we left the hotel. After all, 90_ minutes is long enough to wait for ANYBODY when youkfy,p a a capfirmed pointiVentr-:, Oh yes,' I also disc overe that Killy didn't show for a noon- hour television program. In fact he was supposed to visit four • sporting goods stores which re- presented Head Skis to give the proprietors a promotion vehicle 40 with a personal appearance. (These personal .appearances were advertized in newspapers). These facts were relayed to me late in the evening by Mac- Donald. I met him at the hotel where Killy was staying and mak- ing an appearance to a large 'audience, which had paid $3r'a. head to watch a couple of ski films and be exposed to tashions and equipment produced by Head Ski Co. At least Killy was present for this meeting. ' MacDonald bubbled that Kit- ty played squash in the morn- ing. He also informed me, after I told him that her was about seven hours late for our ap pointment, that he "knew" there was something he had forgotten. "I guess I should 'have phon- ed you and told you that Killy Just doesn't do anything that he doesn't know about before he arrives," mumbled MacDonald, rather meekly. . I didn't bother to answer. Well, that's about the end of tire story. • However, here's an added footnote I thought might prove to give more insight into the true Killy personality: • When Killy won the World Cup and Olympic gold medals he used Rossignol skis, a French make. At that time he refused to back Head Skis, remarking that they weren't any good. He now promotes Head Skis giving the stow that he used them to win his championships., but act- ually, he turned them down as an inferior product. The coach of Canada's Nat- ional Ski Team, Al Raine, told me this act cost him a great deal of popularity in France. Rine says that Nancy Greene Reine is now given a better reception in F rAnce than Killy. Little wonder!

Start before the garage door is open' - with driver training. The driver training in many hign schools is weaker than it should be; don't rely on it too much. But insist that the youth take the course, then build on the foundat-- ion in practice sessions wih you. Ideally, a fledgling driver needs six months of practice before going out on his own. (Thisenay be well-nigh impossible to enforce - but it's a bargaining point.) And once launched, the new driver needs two years of careful obser- vation - with occasional pointers, reprimands .(but not needling). . • • Note; You can do all this only if you know your own driving faults. "Don't pass on your bad habits," Warns Dr.Leon Brody of the Center for Safety E lucat- ion at New York Univerity. 'As for the practice sessions; Keep them short (15 to 20 minutes.) Keep them simple at the outset; start with low traffte density and work up to fast freeway driving. Keep seat .belts on - indeed, make a fetish of it. Keep yOur cool, because your boy will be tensed up hoping to, please you.

Don't panic, and apply heavy punishment until you have carefully investigated. And don't be tempted to pay the' fine or whatever and (;give him another chance."
