"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 ear parked on the road shoulder Dutch ,sdentist joins Notional 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. • If you're considering a career in filmmaking, this could be your chance.
