RULES The Golden Rule:of Driving Your ear must ^alvealtS beditt the right place on the road, attf'e rig!it. raiment, '1vh the right gear engaged, and,trevelling at the 'right speed. The Ten Commandments'of -Safe Driving . . 1. Conceiitrate,On'Whaf'Welt4'doing. is the first and Most' Important rule , driving, It is the very esence of skill and safety: •, • 1 2. Show courtesy to other road users. t Consideration, costs nothing in time or eflort, but it means a lot to other -drivers, cyclists, •and pedettrians. It means still more tot -those in 'charge of children. • . • 3. Don't sound your horn needlessly or aggres- sively. • . • This is another example of A:tad courtesy frequently forgotten. Use a short soft note in • cities and towns. Remember that leaning 'on your horn won't start the engine of the •stalled car in front of you. 4. Signal your intentions clearly and in good time. • A last -second signal is useless; an unorthodox one is • dangerous and stnpid; a good early signal is a great factor in highway safety. , 5. Do not Overtake another car or stop your own car on a corner. This advice has been given so many times that perhaps it is in danger of losing its force, yet people commit this desperate indiscretion every day. 6. Never cut in, but always give room to pass. Cutting in is dangerous at all times. It causes the opposing traffic to slow down. when the right of way is. theirs. When meeting or when being overtaken, always give .the other driver his right of way; and give it promptly. 7, . Brake early and firmly, but not savagely, More accidents are avoided by early and in- telligent use of the brakes than by panic- stricken application of them at the last second. 8. Never drive so fast that you cannot pull up within the range of your vision. Driving beyond the range of your vision means that the car is moving into a wall of blackness and appalling risk. 9. Dip your headlights when approaching or overtaking other traffic. To dip your lights is helpful to others—it it courteous—and it is also the law in Ontario. If the other driver fails to dip, look at the tide of the road, not at the on -coining lights. 10. Never drive a strange car unless you use extreme caution. Driving fast in an unfamiliar car is taking • unnecessary „, • The Ten Commaridments of Safe,Walking . L Crete, at intersections wlieneVer possible. Look both ways and -watch .out fon turning traffic before starting to.eross: s •: . 2. Cross with the green light where there re traffic Signals. 3. Never cross thestreet 'from behind parked cars. You can't see traffic and traffic can't • see You. • 4. Where there are no sidetvallcs, always walk on • the left side facing* the traffic.. • 5. If you go out at night wear something vddte. 6. Teach children to play in safe places, never • around parked cars or trucks, • • 7. Help'yating• children and: old people to cross •the street sa.fely. 8. When'eroising the street, don't obstruct your' view with Umbrella, rain hood or parcels. 9. Use pedestrian crosswalks when available., 10. Do not walk, behind or in .front of a street •' car or bus inirnediately .alteCalighting. Wait until you can see clearly in both directions. THE CHANGING .SCENE NO ONE .CAN genuo us that Clinton is a one-horse town. Thciugh there is a good deal to be desired with regards to more industry, more jabs, apd the accompanying encouragement of growth, by municipal leaders, the people of Clinton are cer- tainly showing interest in improvement, and they are going ahead to get things done. Small towns, you know, were the original "shopping plaza."' Until cars got so king and wide, therefore making a parking problem, the little towns were the pleasant spats to shop. All of the business places are within a short walking distance, and shoppers can reach them all within a short time. — It 'behooves the modern town officials to find ways and means of improving parking, supplying easy access to the privately owned and thriving businesses, and then they will con- tinue to thrive and be a credit to their owners and to the town as a whole. There's not much use -in Wing a modern store, if the out-of-town shoppers can't find a place to park. With the changing scene, we shall have to find a new way of coping with the problems of 1960, and thus make use of the advantages With which we are blessed.

T. miley) This week I celebrate my 40th birthday. :Fir. a woman, that is fate worse than death. She'shies at the;druel barrier like a jumper - refusing a too -tall hedge. For my own part, I 'view. the situation With equanirni. ty, interest, and not a little satisfaction. • • • There were 'a good many times in my life when I didn't think 11/41 reach 40, hence the satisfaction This is the age when a inan is sup- pesedr,to get restless, and kick over the traces. Hence the interest. And 1 'only have thirty years • to go for the pension. Hence the equanimity. To my children, my 40th birth- day marks the approach of sen- ility. They look on me with a mixture of amusement, affection, and indignation. As a father, 'they are fend enough of me. It's my old fashioned ideas they can't stand Like thinking they should go to bed some time before mid- rtigh,t, and should not go swim - Ming on the first of April, and a lot of mossbound old stuff like that. To my wife, I am a mature man who should start acting like one for a Change. I'm a poor father, a useless homemaker and I smoke too much. I ain impossible in, an argument, sometimes going to the lengths of disagreeing with her. But she's looking forward to the future, .nonetheless. She's convinc- ed that given another 15 year's, she'll have me housebroken. * * To 'myself, I'm a mere youth, just entering the best years of my life, handsome, courageous, adven- turous, and only prevented froni running off to the South Seat with Gina Lollobrigida by the fact that she hasn't asked me. That gray at the temples merely adds to my sophisticated charm. Those groans when I get up in the morn- ing are not my sore back, but manifestations of horror at facing appreciated.a world inwhich I sin not fully Fortieth birthday is a good tune to balance the° books. You find out whether there's any working capital to buy a toboggan for the long slide down the ,other tier* of the mountain it'S taken you 40 years to clini.b. Looking over my astets, I lied, that t've had more than my fair share M good /Maxine, and can face the coming years, if not With joy, at least withetit despair. Physically, I'm kicky, Lott of Men my age have paunehes, not Mere pott. Lott of men my age have neither their own, teeth nor heir, and Mine while not litteria ant, are owl's Lott of men my age are reciting enamel blubber to Make an Bsktmes nieUth Water, and I have to eat like a hyena, just to stay even. Lots of men my :age have an ulcer, a liver condition, high blood pressure or a strained heart. I've been, spared these banes'. Can't smell a thing, bat canssee right across a room, and I can hear a mouse burp at 20 paces. Don't worry„ I'm typing' this with all fingers crossed. * * The years have been good to me firiancially, too. When I was married, I had $108.60 in, the bank and didn't owe a cent. On my 40th birthday, I have $35.40 and owe everybody in town. But have -a big, old house half paid for, and a 6 -year-old car all paid for, and two kids all paid for, and a wife who still hasn't got that fur coat but has a floor polisher and built-in tupboards. In the mental 'and spiritual departments, I have improved with age. At 40, my mind is so quick and active I can keep rny wife in a good humour about one day out of three. The ratio 'used to be one to ten. And on Sundays I'm right up there in the front pew with the best of them, Pro- vided, of course, that I don't have one of those Sunday morning colds, or it's too rainy to go fish- ing, or I haven't been up too late the night before. ' * * * Yes, the years have been good to rne. By rights, 1 should be fertilizing some portion of a foreign field. By rights, My kids should have turned out looking like he, instead of getting their their mother's good looks. By rights, I shoind be a dull, poky professorssabterbed in the 17th Centers, Minor Poets, instead af a, bright,: lively editor abtorbed in sewage disposal Methods, Counting your blessings may be considered corny by the cynics, but it has alWaYs been One of rhY favorite rainysday sports, Not many filen a .40, for° eXample, have been blessed with wives three times as smart es them- selves'. .104t. %are' only tvIce. as CDIWins :Huron tounty Fieid Meet Topples County 'Town For HSSA Crown •Continued from Page pne) and distances' were not peblished last week, pending the Saturday affair, Schools are abbreviated, C for Clinton; G for Goderich; •$ for Seaforth and W for Wing - barn, • SENIOR 05i1104 DASHES: 75 yard, Judith Hal - wand, C, 10 sec.
