Cindy Datars of Dashwood and Cindy Thompson of T-A photo iBy ELAINE TOWNSHEND This week’s paper carries announcements of special events taking place in our community this week-end. If ' we want to travel farther afield, daily papers, tv and radio give additional infor mation. There is no end to the places we can go and the exciting things we can do to make this last holiday of the summers memorable one. Amid our happy anticipa tion, we will hear warnings. We will be urged to practice safety in whatever we do. Referring to the number of . fatalities recorded on previous holidays, predic tions will be made about how many Canadians will die on this Labor Day week end, and the estimates will probably turn tut to be low. But we won’t pay much attention. Who wants to think about such sombre things?Whyshould we worry, anyway? Things like that can’t happen to us. Unfortunately tragedy can strike any of us. Pretending danger doesn’t exist will not protect us from it and neither will staying at home, afraid to do anything. We can still have fun and keep safety in mind: taking safe ty precautions doesn’t mean being a ‘spoil sport.’ r Decorate your home with beautiful The most frequent causes of traffic accidents are drunk driving, fatigue, speeding, tailgating and general recklessness. How many of us are guilty of some or all of the above in fractions? How many of us have passed a slow-poke on the highway and fifteen minutes later, while waiting for a red light or following a string of cars, glaced into the rear view mirror and spotted the slow-poke on our tail? We didn’t gain much, did we0 How many times have we hurried someplace, when leaving fifteen minutes earlier could have avoided the rush or arriving fifteen minutes later wouldn't have mattered? Besides being fun. swim ming is one of the best ways we can exercise. Inex- perienced swimmers may under-estimate the danger of swimming alone or ven turing out too far in the water while experienced swimmers may become over-confident and ignore the safetv rules Overloading a boat or ig noring weather signs can cause boating accidents. To strong swimmers, wearihg life jackets may seem bothersome, but someday they may owe their lives to them. Camping is fun for the whole family, but all that 'Smokey the Bear’ talk is kids’ stuff. We know what we’re doing. Or. do we? Do we stop to consider the con sequences of carelessness in a forest? Do we always take a few extra minutes to make certain the fire is out0 Do we small children closely and try hard to impress upon the* older ones the importance of safe ty. whether they’re bicycl ing on the street, playing at the beach or swimming in a back yard pool? We all make mistakes and take needless chances, and sometimes we argue: “It’s my life: if I want to take a chance. that’s m y business." But innocent people can suffer because of our daring, stubbornness, stupidity or whatever you want to call it. Life, theirs and ours, is too precious to be gambled with. Let’s make sure the hap piness of this Labor Day week-end continues next week by keeping safety in mind and “bringin’ ’em back alive."
