Though the urgency which the driver of such a vehicle feels can be `readily understood, complete dis- regard. of all normal safety pre- Cautions is simply not common skise. Virst, and most important there is the danger that the entire puipose of the trip, that of getting an ill or injured person to the hos- pital, is jeopardized; and secondly the safety of other persons must be taken into consideration as well as the Welfare of the patiertt. 'Even a fire truck is obliged to obey traffic signals ,unless ,there is police officer at an intersection to stop oncoming vehicles. No doubt the excitement of the moment tends to destroy good judgment when a driver is carrying a seriously injured person.

Recently we ran across one brand which has become increasingly ,cominon in Canada since the influx of so many immigrants has • taken place.. A young European mechanic was at work in our office, servicing one piece of equipment, and the conver- SatOn turned to the quality of work- manship which is prevalent • in Can- 44. The young fellow was right„to some degree, in his assertion that uropean technicians are better rained and much more conscientious than their Canadian counterparts. However, when we suggested that SUper-high quality has its place and :that on some occasions it can be un- necessary—like taking your cut- „glass to a picnic—we were scorned as Stupid. . . ignorant of the finer things in:life. Later the mechanic mentioned seine of his difficulties in reaching Wingham from. Toronto, a trip which had taken four and a half ,iours because he had chosen a ratite which took him through. Hamilton and several” Other off-course places to get here, Enquiring why-he had -come by such a round-about path we were informed that this was the firSt time he had travelled in-West- ern Ontario. Apparently reference ,to a road map was never thought of.: By thiS 'stage, of course, we are -feeling a bit snobbish about our ability to get from one place to another 'Without loss of time or waste of gasoline. BANDS IN PUBLIC Welcome, news a week or so ago Was the annduncernent that the Lions Boys' and Girls' Rand wotild' play a few concerts in public during the month of August. Many inter- ested people in this community will he eager to hear the youngsters per- form. Bands in all Ontario 'centres .stern to be finding themselves in diffi- culty, and no small part of the difficulty lies in the shortage of young people willing to learn 'a lnu- Sical instrument. Here the jun- ior band is providing such training, o that there will be continued hope for the future of music in years to come. The Walkerton town council this leek withheld its annual grant to the town band there until there was Some guarantee that the band would make a greater effort to serve the community more widely. In 'other words council felt the rtow.nspeople were not getting value for their tiol- lars—a, perfectly natural reaction When a band is heard in public 'billy two or three times a year.

If you don't believe it just take a look at yourself in the mirror on one of the blistering mid- summer days. • • When .the thermometer registers 70 degrees the most of us are pretty comfortable, but let the mercury &nib even.1$ points and we all break. .8utin a rash of discomfort. Or con- versely, Should the temperature drop 20 degrees then we shiver and Shake; and start thinking about our long underwear. Curious, too, is the way the hu- *man -body can adapt itself to ex- tremes of temperature when there is little .fluctuation. We can recall negroes in Bermuda completely en- joying an over-80 temperature 'and completely miserable- (in bush coats no less) when a cool breeze from the Atlantic dropped. the thermometer to':a *relatively warm 65.- We have read too, of the-complete exhaustion which overtakes the Eskimos in our own, Northland during the hot months of summer.. Actually ,the .average horse, .cat 'or: dog is much 'better .equiPped to put up with fluctuating temperatures than -their human masters. Perhaps some of our scientists should under- 'take ,a survey of the .animal world to determine what type of injections we could take to give us this resistance to -heat and • cold. Think of the money we could save by going around all winter in shorts and hOt6'r. • However; there is one consola- tion. The hot weather isn't too treat a prOblem in this country. 'here isn't enough of it. NO LEGAL LIMITS Any notion that the notorious boss of 'the Teamsters' International Union, James Hoffa, has abandoned ' his 'dream of a colossal labor monop- oly •of all transport workers, should be dispelled by word that the Team- stets plan to act as 'a "coordinator and neutral third party" between employers and dockworkers' unions on both the east and west coasts of the U.S. Vurther ,evidence that Hoffa's ambition to establish a vast labor combine is 'meeting with some .success comes from Hawaii, where the Teamsters and the West Coast Longshoremen's 'Union, run by Harry'Bridges, plan to "coordinate" their organizing activity. What makes Hoffa's ambitions frightening is the fact that in Can- ada as• well as in the U S obstacles stand in his way. Like other union bosses, Mr, Iloffa does- n't have to give a thought to the pOsSibility of being in trouble, for the. simple reason that unions enjoy complete immunity from the effect of tatisting anti-combines legislation. It Is a tragic paradox that union leaders of the AVL-CIO, who have seen fit to expel Hoffes Tearnsters from the respectable society of or- ganited labor in the U S, should 'themselves resist legislative changes aimed at curbing union monopoly power that makes it possible for men like Roth. to Move unimpeded in their sinister aims for power, In the. -cod we .-eleclare, roundly to each other that we're only young once, and take off inn great 'Bur,. ry of lastminute reservations and irritations.

I was going -to -paint the trim -on the -house, On -that -occa- sion I learned two things: 'that you can't get much trim painted when you knock off every 'half hour .for -refreshments; and -that I am constitutionally unable to -work with the Old Lady ;as straw boss. That year I got two and a half windows painted and they -sat like that -for about three years, un- til they faded back into the shab- biness of the rest of the trim, • * Each year, :during the Jail, min- ter and spring we have long, amic- able and reasOnable talks about our holidays. My wife agrees that it is only sensible that a man 'who has a mere week should -get Ed:vim, from his wife -and family, go 'on a fishing trip, or get off With some male friends. • * And each year, when my week's holiday looms, she stops being a logical human being and reverts to being a woman. She is not going, to be stuck at home with the kids While 'HER husband goes larking off -for a week with the .boys, %en- joying himself thoroughly. * * ' It's my firm belief, stated on many occasions, that a man should get away from his family once a year. And every hot, disgruntled, .irritated male tourist I see Walk- ing past my office window, herd- ing a horde of demanding young- sters and a cross, perspiring wife. merely confirms this opinion. • * Mind- you, I t hink -a woman Should get away from her family once in a while too. Every three or four years a wife should be al- lowed to go and visit her mother, or one of her sisters,. for two Or three days. As long as -she leaves plenty of baking lots of clean laun- dry, and ,doesn'f want to spend any money while she's away, • ** Seriously,, though, my Old Battle- axe agrees with me, about men getting away for a ehmige on their holidays.
