the Canadian Safety Council it is an attempt
to alert Canadians to the traffic accident
problem. They tell us that if the present
accident rate continues, one out of every two
Canadians will be involved in a fatal or
injury-producing accident in their lifetime.
That is frightening! Here are some tips from
the Safety Council that will reduce your
chance of such an accident. Defensive
driving doubles your chance of avoiding an
accident. Recognize a hazard, understand
the defence and act in time. Wear seatbelts
as a defence against being thrown out of a
vehicle following a collision. Drinking is a
hazard. One out of every two drivers in a
fatal crash had been drinking. Observe the
two-second interval between your car and
the one ahead. The only thing a driver
controls in traffic, outside his own vehicle, is
his following distance. It is his space
cushion. Do not drive under the pressure of
stress such as physical or mental fatigue,
anger, anxiety or confusion from any cause.
Traffic accidents do not happen to vehicles -
they happen to people. It is not an unbelted
body that flies through a windshield to hit
the pavement, it is a human being. Take a
Tip - do not be an impaired, tense or
unbelted driver. Remember Safe Driving
Week all: year round. Drive defensively!

If you have your face, toes or fingers
nipped by Jack Frost inthe winter's frigid air
do not do what so many people have done.
Never rub snow on frost bite. St. John's
Ambulance tells us to warm the area with
your hands or put frost bitten hands under
your armpits inside your jacket. Protective
clothing is the best guard against frostbite.
