ALEX
We would like to offer a brief
word of commendation to our good
neighbotu anct friend, Alex Corrigan.
of Turnherry, who last week was
honoured. by the officers and men of
the Twenty-first Regiment RCA(M).
The occasion was the annual inspec-
tion of the regiment, which this year
took place at Listowel.
.Taal; Alex it was the last inspec-
tion. He was retiring after 24 years'
service in The local militia and active
service feg•i tents and from One and
all he rec'ei•ed the farewell he so
richly dse'rved.'
His 24 years in the army include
not only the skillful' training of
thousands of recruits, but five years
in the F`u'r.opean theatre of war. Lt.. -
Col, E. 1); B'efl, Ms commanding of-
ficer, spitke With evident sincerity of
Alex's personal courage in the face
of the enemy.
During most of his years in the
service Alex was the Regimental
Sergeant Major. For those who are
unfamiliar With military offices, we
might acid that mans experts Con-
sider the R.S.N[ the most important
officer in the army. He is singularly
responsible for the discipline and
training of the men and many a
coinmissioned.officer has relied npon
the experience and good judgment of
his RSM when the squeezes were
tight.
Certainly the men who fill out the
ranks of the militia are fond of arms
life -=hut much more important, they
have a strong conviction that our nst
tier's defence rest's primarily with a
well-trained nucleus of peace tinge
soldiers who will be ready for any

buss and progressive farther, has
found time over all these years to
take a rrtost outstanding position 111

We would like to add our con-
gratulations to those of his fellow
soldiers.

DEFENSIVE DRIVING
... what makes a sate driver?
WHAT are the qualities of the ex-
pert driver? Here are some stand-
ards drawn up by the B.C. Automo-
hile Association for those who wish
to cultivate the qualities of the ex -
Pert :
The expert driver can park easily,
quickly.
Can change gears efficiently, up
or rrow'rr:
Can travel slowly, forwards or
backwards, smoothly, safely.
Does not accelerate sharply or
brake suddenly unless in an emer-
gency.
Handles his vehicle smoothy- at
all' times and under all conditions.
Keeps both hands on the wheel
except when signalling or changing
gear.
Is constantly aware of all that is
happening around him and keeps his
eyes moving across his driving range.
Knows and observes the traffic
regulations.
Knows, and applies, the rifles for
safe following distances.
Slows down at sundown.
Consults the rear-view mirror to
assist following fast drivers,
Toes not "hog" the centre line,
(lives hand signals correctly,
clearly.
Practises patience.
Does not use speed as a habit.
If he has any disability, knows it
and makes allowances for it.
Can handle a skid, a blowout, a
sudden braking emergency.
IP,xercises good judgment ---never
lakes a risk.
Appreciates the need to be especi-
ally alert where children are on or
near the road.
Has the right outlook on driving
because he respects the rights of
other road -users.
Is courteniis.
Keeps his car in first-class safety
condition,
r"
l
1 tion
Drives in harmony with his fel-
low motorists.
Defensive driving is also stemmed
up in this instance:.
A New York taxi driver, who had
driven a million miles without an ac-
cident, was asked to give a fifteen -
minute talk on safe driving as part
of the celebration of his record,
"Tt won't take me any 15 mit-nit-es
to tell how to avoid accidents," the
taxi driver. said, "Tt':s simple , , . ,just
drive on the theory that every other
driver you see is crazy." — Powel
