Editorial Drivers, especially trucks, must slow down With winter weather coming back with a vengeance on the area comes the challenge of driving on sometimes treacherous, snowcovered roods With all the stormy weather that's struck the area in the past few weeks, you'd be inclined to blame the weather for the high number of traffic accidents and troubles on the road. But the weather is only part of the problem. The bigger problem comes with sharing those storm troubled roads with other drivers. These are the drivers who forget to turn their headlights on so you can see them better in a whiteout. These are the drivers who forget to clean the snow off their headlights or tailights. They are also the drivers who won't slow down when the roads are slippery or icy. The proof of what speed does can be seen along the side of the roads during and after any snowstorm. Not only are there vehicles in the ditches but many have been travelling so quickly that their vehicles end up in fields well on the other side of the ditch. There's simply no sense blaming the weather when that happens; it's the driver's fault. But worse, many of these speeding vehicles are trucks who can plow through snowdrifts and surprise other drivers struggling through whiteout conditions. No matter how much weight they have, trucks can't stop any better on ice and are putting lives at stake as much or more than any other driver because of their size and power in an accident.

We appreciated the editorial for calling attention to the need for blood donation, on behalf of Canadian Blood Services and on behalf of the people who will be helped by your editorial. Giving blood is a generous and selfless act, but, as you point out in your editorial, only about three per cent of the people who are eligible to give blood actually do so. Recruiting and retaining donors is one of the biggest challenges we face - your column was an unexpected and invaluable contribution to that effort. You called attention to the fact that blood is needed for everything from regular surgeries to emergencies. helping people to understand that even those who never expect to need blood may someday require ir. Your commentary has no doubt helped to save lives by encouraging your readers to support the Seaforth clinic.
