Modern civilization, we' gather, sets an ex- hausting pace and demands a constant rush from all who wish to keep ahead of the pack, Somehow, this conception of a "tranquilizer era" with everyone under intense pressure doesn't seem to match all the facts. The average worker spends 40 hours on the job, leaving him time for a wide range of recreation. Modern facilities provide luxury and convenience in the home. In fact, life looks pretty good to most of us compared to the type of ,life we would lead had we lived 50 years ago. Yet this impression of pressure and hustle, whether it is an illusion or not, does exist and does affect us. And in no area is this more obvious , than in our driving behaviour. The sense of urgency that the average driver gets when he takes the ,wheel is often completely illogi- cal. When he starts out he may have no real reason for hurry, and is usual- ly travelling to do something he will enjoy far less, than driving his • car. Yet he tries to complete the journey in the shortest time possible. The irrational part of the urge. to hurry-drive is that it is largely in- effective. Trying to speed Saves very little time, particularly in con- gested areas. Tests have shown that only an inconsiderable amount of lime is saved by a "pushing" driver, com- pared with a man who drIves stead;ly, within the speed limit. The reasons for taking risks in traffic are often hard to understand. But the results are, too often, tragical- ly obvious. open door communism The labour and student unrest which, has crippled France may well signal the end of the ten- year-old Fifth Republic of Charles de Gaulle Although the 77-year-old president was not di- rectly involved in Wednesday's censure vote in the Assembly, the strength of the minority Gaullist coali- tion was clearly being brought into question. This, 'of course, is excellent grist for the mills of his many enemies within and outside France, who will jump to the conclusion that Ip'Grand Charles has been completely outfoxed in his bid to bring about a continental system in Europe with France as the kingpin.. Such is not exactly the case, no matter how fer- vently some would like to believe it. The troubles which are wracking France at the moment are largely domestically-oriented. What- ever criticism may be laid at de Gaulle's door for lack of reform internally, one could scarcely say • his in- fluence has not been to the benefit of Europe. A return to the chaos which was the trademark of France before de Gaulle .came to power would be an international tragedy, but it is questionable whether the General is the best person to return his country to the comparative stability which it has enjoyed for the past decade. What appears to be sorely needed at this time is a man flexible enough to appreciate the force of the left-right divergence, yet strong enough to keep the factions in line. Mitterand would be a disaster, but Pierre Mendes- France, who had an unfortunately brief stay in of- fice as president during the Fourth Republic, might well be the best choice. Not just France, but the entire world can little afford a European upheaval of the potential magni- tude of the present French disruption. It is situations such as this which present an open door to communism, and France would be an integral jewel in the crown of international communism. Europe and the free world should be alarmed. le setters TO THE EDITOR Sir: I would 'like to make a few comments regarding the editorial, "New Welfare Not , Necessary," in the May 9 issue of the News Record. Regarding pensions in general, I think it would be less 'expensive to the govern- ment, more practical, and more • beneficial to the pensioner, if the government would introduce *and sUbsidize "goodwill in- Ciatinty' for -i'thOSe:11wiio,- are ,abf6,,,to .vooir4(, 'either "full' For partr'tirne; ac- cording to their ability. This in the long run would be less costly for the governinent and promote the initiative of the pensioner. Also, at Present, our pensions are a set rate over an indefinite period of time which with the .constant rise of the cost of living proves inadequate from one year to the next. More adequate provision could be made if sliding scale benefits could be given from one year to the next to comply with the increased cost of living, Although I am 90 per cent blind, nothing would please me: more than: to be able to work at a job that would comply with my limited capabilities here in Clinton. Thank you very much for your time and consideration. Sincerely yours, Allan Reid, 360 Matilda St., Clinton, Ontario. Sir: I am just one of the per. sons who viewed Brigadoon, but I am sure that everyone (ex. cept the author of the "first column") thoroughly enjoyed the entire production. We do not expect perfection. We do not demand precision. If we want opera, we can buy tickets for that, instead. We bought tickets for Brigadoon. We liked it. As a student at CHSS I saw and heard much of the per- formance in the weeks of prace tice before it was presented to the public, The people behind the scenes who worked onstage sets and sound and lighting, effects carried out their job without mistakes. All the committees and per. formers strove to put on a good show for three consecutive nights. The audiences appreci. ated the 'work and effort, and most of all, the quality of the musical production. The harsh comments of the "first column" must have stung to the people who laboured to give the public three evenings' entertainment.
