It is true that many Oar
dents are .caused dr4nk driving,
It is .also true that speed.
Here. is .an: important factor in
safe driving which you seldom
talk, or read about; and it Is
simply know where you, aro
gang and how to get there,
amine your road map and study
it before you. leave,
.One day last September Toni
Garnlss had to go to Hanover tor
a truck load of chain saws, and
Who should go along hut John
Clark and Hi Rutledge, While
TOM was working like the dickens
the two gents strolled down town,
met a farmer with two calves in
a truck and promptly bought
them, Tom put a partition be-
tween. the two little old calves and
the chain saws and they started
for home by way of Neustadt,
They were just opposite the stone
hotel when their truck, ran dry
and the motor heated and sizzled.
The 'lads were just as dry as the
the truck but they weren't
sizzling so they turned the corner
straight East. put the two old
calves in the hotel yard and went
in for dinner, etc. The dinner was
so good they decided to stay for
supper. About seven o'clock they
filled the truck with water, gas
and oil, loaded the calves, then
went back into the hotel to say
goodbye to the dining room, ,girls.
It must have been a long, sad
farewell because it was eleven
o'clock when they started 'looking
for their vehicle. Tom had sold a
couple of the saws, and was the
only one with his senses left. He
figured he would have a nice tale
to tell. if he just 'left the two lads
to their own devices. They didn't
know where to go, East, West,
North or South. in fact they could
only go one way, and that was
sideways. When they did find the
truck John .Clark was the driver.
The truck was not overloaded but
the lads were. John was not the
driver by choice but rather by
chance. He couldn't get into the
darn thing except by pulling him-
self in by the wheel and when he
flopped down he became wedged
Anyway he started the way the
car was faced and in a half hour
was as badly lost as the children
of Israel in the Bible days, but
these gents had no Moses to lead
them. They came to a dead end.
Rivers with no bridges. They got
onto roads there hadn't been a
vehicle on since the days of the
old ox cart, The two lads crawled
to the top of a tree at one time
to see if they could see the lights
of some village. 'The climb didn't
hurt them, they were used to
climbing, Bell Towers etc. Finally
they came to a village. Hi said it
is Ripley. while John swore it was
Wroxeter. It was Flesherton. The
milkman showed theM how to get
to "Walkerton. and there they ran
into some luck. Howie Alcock was
coming from a party. Led them to
the outskirts, and told them just
how to get to the Formosa road.
They were still in doubt but when
they spied the Brewery it was as
familiar as the American Hotel
in Brussels. The calves were bawl-
ing their heads of so they poured
a bottle of beer down their
throats. Changed drivers. Jan
played the mouth organ and them
darn calves tap danced all the
way to Jamestown.
When they got home they told
Stella and 'Kitty the calves had
jumped out in Fralick's swamp
and they had chased theM all
night,
Bye till next week.
Truthfully YOUrs,
T.
