The rapid approach of the
Labour Day Weekend means the
heightened use of Canadian and
American freeways, as millions
of citizens snatch at the last long
summer weekend of 1970.
"Increase in the amount of
traffic, speeds travelled and the
incidence of night driving,
combined with the special
demands made on the motorist
by freeway driving, sets the stage
for Labour, Day Driving
Disaster," stated R. N. Trollope,
President of Dominion
Automobile Association.
"Time-wise," says President
Trollope, "freeways are
extremely efficient, but the
advantages of freeway driving
can become dangerous if the
proper precautions are not
observed, for this type of driving
makes special demands on the
motorist."
Long, uninterrupted stretches
of straight road, engine drone
and :the '.general fatigue that
ebrne's With long
distances can dull the senses.
However, reactions must be
especially quick at freeway
speeds.
The Dominion Automobile
Association recommends that all
motorists be sure that they
themselves are in good physical
condition and that their motor
vehicles are in maximum,.
operating condition — brakes,
lights, tires, and windshield
wipers are especially important.
It is wise to enter a freeway with
a full gas tank and high oil level.
Common sense and alertness,
coupled with a knowledge of
safety rules reduces the
possibility of serious, high-speed
freeway accidents. For this
reason, the Dominion
Automobile Association stresses
that the motorist try to
remember the following aids to
safe freeway driving.
1. WHEN ENTERING A
FREEWAY: Stay to the right
and increase speed in this lane to
the speed of the vehicles already
on the freeway.
2. OBEY POSTED SPEED
LIMITS: Beyond these
maximum speed limits, it is not
possible to react and stop
quickly enough iii an emergency.
3. MAINTAIN STEADY
SPEED Consistent with the other
traffic. Sudden bursts of speed
can confuse other drivers.
Slow=pokes cause impatience,
and risky driving.
4. KEEP YOUR DISTANCE.
To avoid serious "chain
reaction" collisions allow one
ear length for each ten miles of
speed between two vehicles.
5. SIGNAL LANE
CHANGES — with lights or hand
signals and by flickering high
beams at night.
6. AVOID LANE-HOPPING:
Stay in the right hand lane
unless passing another vehicle,
Do not impede traffic by driving
in the passing lane or by
straddling two lanes.
1. PASS ON THE R iGHT
WITH CARE: The responsibility
fOr "this rests with the driver who
is actually doing the passing.
8. GUARD AGAINST
HIGHWAY FATIGUE: Steady
Speed, less activity, engine
drone, and fixed staring reduce
alertness. If the Motorist tires,
he should immediately pull into
a nest area or leave the freeway
entirely,
9. kESPONSII3ILITY TO
OTHER MOTORISTS
ENTERING THE PREEWAY
Each driver should adjust his
speed in Order to allow new
traffic 1.0 merge safely arid
smoothly with existing traffic.
10. IN AN EMERGENCY get
as far off the road CS possible: A

Dutch ,sdentist

Museum of Mao
A Dutch scientist has joined.
the National Museum of Man .as.
Plaids Ethnologist, 1t has been
announced by Dr, ..tiarrle
Reynolds, Op, Chief .1fanologist,
Ted J. Brasser, a cultural
Anf,hr9pologisf, from the
Rijksurtiverstteit of Leyden,
became so interested in the
culture of: the North. American
.Indf4ris while working as a
comnercial artist in his native
Holland that he switched
careers.
"As I learned more 41boot
primitive arts, I became more
and more interested in the work
of North Ameriegn Indians," Mr,
Brasser explained. "Look at this
woman's costume we've just
acquired. What could he more
beautiful?"
The Teton Sioux Co;41.1111e
consists of smoked leather dress,
a pair of moccasins, a pair of
short, leggings, a belt and
headband. The whole is richly
• decorated with beadwork,
covering even the soles of the
moccasins, and the belt studded
with nickel "conehos". Mr.
Brasser says that the costume,
which is in excellent condition,
probably dates from the turn of
the century.
Mr. Brasser began studying
cultural anthropology after
finishing his military service,
While curator of the AmeriCan
and Eurasian Arctic Department
at the Rijksmuseum voor
Volkenkunde from 1962 to 1969,
he conducted studies of the
ethnohistory of Indians of Long
Island, N.Y. and of Stockbridge,
Wisconsin. He has carried out
research among Crow,
Assiniboine, Plains Cree and
Black feet, as well as among
Scandinavian Laplanders. He has
published extensively, mainly in
Europe. Mr. Brasser also brings
to the National Museum
considerable experience of
exhibitions on North American
Indian cultures. This experience
will prove invaluable in the
preparation of the new
exhibitions in the refurbished
Victoria Memorial Museum.
"The arrival of Mr. Brasser",
Dr. Reynolds points out, "marks
a new advance ror the National
Museum. This is the l'irst time in
our sixty years of work that we
have been able to . appoint an
ethnologist solely for our plains-,
Indian programme: With" thetm
crying need Lb record as much as
possible of our fast-disappearing
traditional Indian and Eskimo
cultures. we have long been
conscious of the very little work
that has been done for the
people of the Plains. Mr. Brasser
will do much to correct this.
can easily become involved in an
accident.
11, LEAVE THE .ERENWAY
WITH CARE: Choose the
correct exit and move into the
right hand lane. Do NOT slow
down in the driving lane — signal
to turn, slow clown in the speed
change lane, and reduce speed to
a safe ramp speed.
12. CHECK RAMP SPEED:
Even .10 m.p.h. will feel like a
crawl after freeway speeds.
Dominion Automobile
Association statistics show that
the hour of cloy, and the light
conditions also affect the
number of accidents that occur.
"File possible combination of
reduced vision and freeway
fatigue should be viewed with
horror," the • President warned,
"and avoided at all costs."
"With the headlights on low
beam." said Mr. Trolloe, "the
driver first sights an unlighted
object at a maximum of only
`150 feet. Travelling at :50'mJi.h.,
it ti'ikes the driver a minimurn,a1'
250 feet to stop on 'drY
pavement after he first notices a
road hazard."
Add to this situation, the fact
'that the ability to see at night,
which is not good to begin with,
decreases with age. After an
individual reaches age 20, the
amount of light he will need to
see objects at night doubles
every 13 years. Thus, at age 60,
he will require 8 times as much
light as he would have at age 20
to see the same object clearly.
To begin with:light, hour of the
day and age factors combined
with a number of other variables
such as the condition ol' the
driver, and of the motor vehicle
make night driving hazardous.
However, many motorists fail to
realize that the following six
factors could reduce vision to
the point of extreme danger:
1. Heavy smoking, which can
temporarily cost a driver 1.0
percent of his vision.
2. Leaks of carbon monoxide
from the muffler or exhaust pipe
which effects vision to the same
extent as does alcohol.
Dirty windshield and dirty
spectacles.
4. Worn windshield wipers
which leave streaks of dirt and
water on glass, setting up a glare
which could blind the driver.
5. Dirty headlights which cut
down road lighting and render
the car less visible to oncoming
traffic.
Ii. Sunglasses, which when
went at night darken shadowed
areas to the dahger point?!
"If all drivers corn blue the
use of freeway driving safety tips
with an effort' at keeping night
vision at a peak, their chances of
enjoying many more Labour
Day Weekends are considerably
increased." emphasized the
President o f' D om in ion
Automobile Association.
The Labour Day Holiday is
the last long weekend of
Summer, 1.970. Don't let it
become the last weekend of
your lifetime! Use a little
caution and live to enjoy many
more Holiday Weekends.
