Good Drivers Are Careful About The Little Things The difference between ,the excellent driver and »the ordinl- ary driver is seldom anything spectacular, or even obvious. It is a lot of little things done properly at ell tinnes. An Ontario Saftey League official was reminded of this recently. He was driving home from work, following a black sedan, in the driving lane. Ap- proaching a T. -intersection the sedan driver began to slow down, and showed by his flash- ing indicator that he intended to turn right. The OSL car also slowed down, and kept in the same lane. But the black car did not make the expected right turn. It stopped on the near corner of the intersection. A girl got out and took a few seconds to make some last comments, through the open door, to the driver. Meanwhile the O:SL ear and three others were lined up behind the stopped car. One of ,the drivers behinidl, obviously in a hurry, was 'twisting around in his seat to see if he dared "jump" out into the passing lane between the other cars driving by at 40 m.p'h. There was no climax to the incident. The black sedan started up again, and the line of stopped and slowing cars in the driving Mane was on; the move once more. The only re- sult was the annoyance of driv- ers who had been halted un- necessarily. The driver of the black car should not have stopped to let out a passenger on the rush hour route. It would have been a simple thing to let out his passenger around the corner. And he certainly should not have given a misleading -signal. The interesting thing is that he knew a signal was called for, and gave a signal—but the wrong one. He preferred to give a flasher signal for a right turn, rather than roll down the window and give a hand signal that would have made it quite clear to following cars that he was going to stop, and would have given them the chance to merge into the passing lane without delay. There was no accident—but the possibility of accident was increased. Other drivers were slightly inconvenienced and ir- ritated. Was it caused by in - DON'S RED & WHITE FOOD MARKET (Formerly Stanley's/ MONARCH MARGARINE .1 Ib.

Mrs. I-Iankiin who is director of the Sheltered Workshop for Men- tailly Retarded Adults operated in Barrie, is: an active member of the Ontario Association's Committee on Adult Education. In her talk on "Adult Pro - amine," Mrs. Hankin stress- ed the need for broad objec- tives when trying to plan train- ing for adult retardates. "Your aims must be to develop a life- long program in your commun- ity, for retardates of all ages and levels of 'albiliity, by enlist- ing the aid of all resources in your community," she said. "In outlining an adult program, you cannot draw as sharp a lime between the levels of in- telligence as you must in the earlier schooling," she stressed. The speaker outlined the working of a "sheltered work - ship," such as that in Barrie. The trainees work on two types of articles; those handcrafts which are directly for sale, and work of a subcontract •nature, such as mimeographing, colla- tion of printing, stapling, rivet - packaging. After an initial three-month basic training, each Barrie trainee is paid a basic hourly wage for all work he does, both within the work- shop, and yard work done un- der workshop supervision. The wage is small by comparison to that earned by ordinary fac- tory or manual workers, but provides many things for -the trainees. They are taught the value of money, and how to plan its spending wisely. They also learn the joy of partial self-sufficiency. Mrs. Hankin questioned the feasibility of forming sheltered workshops in communities of less than 15 to 20 thousand population, because of lack of industrial contracts to provide work. However, she wondered about the possibility of form- ing regional sheltered. work- shops, to train the retarded adults from a whale area. She also stressed' the need for some type of care for these adults in all ureas. Small beginnings, such as monthly social club meetings under association sponsorship, might progress to occupational classes, and home hand -craft production. Business session of the day- long rally for Region 5 were held in the Listowel Memorial Arena auditorium, with region- al chairanan, Mrs. Jack Tait, Walkerton, in the chair, and George Jefferson, Clinton, ful- filling his secretarial duty. Reports were given by dele- gates to the recent annual con- verition of the O.A.R.C., who atrtend'ed •a variety of commit- tee and discussion groups there. Special school -teacher Mrs. P. Walmark, Goderich, re- ported on the education com- mittee workshop, and Listowel delegate Mrs. L. G. Vickers reported on the adult program workshop. Jack Tait, Walker- ton, outlined the panel discus- sions on "Clinical Assessment and Diagnostic Process" and "Co¢nintuiity Services for .the Retarded" The autumn meeting of Region 5 is planned tentatively for Wingham. atrtenrlion, or ignorance, or lazi- ness? Whatever the reason, it gave an illustration of the fact that the "little" :things are im- portant in good driving. The Ontario Safety League says that consistency is one of the marks of the better driver. He dbes the right t'hingse-and does them all the time. WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY SEE oUR Albums of Choice Design.

"Your men make fun of our aoeent, but my boss admits he woudn't hire anyone other than an English girl as his secre- tary. Canadian businessmen are demanding, but also ap. preeiative of work well done. Office routine is thoroughly organized but socially the aver- age Canadian man is a total loss, I imagine he is more at home in: a hunting and fishing lodge, or on a rugby field, than as a guest a4 a formal. dinner." She's Envious! "This all sounds as though I don't like Canadians. I do. In fact I envy them in many ways. They are uninhibited by centuries of social amenities; if they are blunt, at least you know haw you measure up to their expectations. Men accept working women on their own level, recognizing their ability without masculine prejudice." Well, anyway she adored the maple syrup and waffles! The last I saw of this frank young woman was the back of her well tailored suit as she made her way to the coach. section of the night train to Montreal. Another criticism she had made of Canadians— "They do not take advantage of this country's excellent trav- el facilities. Every weekend I go somewhere; I'd rather spend my money on fares than on furbelows." She made a claim I could not dispute. She said she was ready .to wager that she had visited and knew more about the museums, art galleries, theatres ,and scenic splendors of central Canada than any Canadian, male or female, of her age and means. On this same trip I had an- other revealing conversation. I was sitting in the lobby of the As Others See IUs The ONR coffee shop car was filled with smoking, eat - ing hod'ie$, all perched on stools and staring into space, Usually I indulge ina late coffee on the ;pool train for that is one service I, and dozens of execu- tive types riding between Canada's two largest cities, really ,appreciate, Birt this night I chose to be different, Iparked my train case at my feet and perched at the counter with the rest of the travelers. I don't know why I even looked at the menu, because my intention, was to order the usual "coffee, clear, please". Sitting beside me was a well built, clear skinned young girl. She wore no make-up over her peach bloom complexion, only a splash of vivid red lipstick. I noticed her hands particular- ly, because they seemed ,incon- gruous for a working girl, which I presumed she was. Long tap- ering fingers ended in colorless, yet beautifully groomed nails. "Pardon me, could you tell me what waffles are?" she asked in a voice and accent that sounded like water tina- ling musically over the sandy bed of a brook. When I had explained how waffles were tirade from a batter poured over a hat iron apparatusthat squeezed them into dents and hollows Invented for the ex- press purpose of holding soft butter and maple syrup, her English reserve melted into a friendly smile. "00, maple syrup, that is truly Canadian, isn't it?" She was so enthusiastic about the idea that, before I realized it, I had ordered waffles and maple syrup too. Newspaper people never oan leave well enough alonethey always have to ask questions. Sometimes they are inane such as "What do you think of Canadians?" Perhaps I never should have asked. Her reply wasn't exactly vituperative, but she didn't mince words. Her tassess neat of our population from her two month's residence here was re- vealing if not too •flattering. In her opinion aur men and boys are rude, undiplomatic, devoid of courtesy, ill mannered, virile, hatnldsome, completely un- romantic, and too obvious in their advances.
