I1 bad luck comes in threes; the way they say it does. then I'm behaving myself. You see. just last week I ran into two instances of bad luck. and I am not eager to experience a third. One evening. 1 had a friend- ly. visit Stith one of Ontario's finest in a black and white car. Then just two days later. I had another visit with another gentleman in a patrol car. So now you know why I ant behaving myself • or at least trying to It all started one evening when I had worked late, and then had some errands to run after I left the office. Finally 1 hit the open roads of highway 83 and I was anxious to get home. There was hard- ly any traffic on the highway. except one car coning towards me. We mel: and glanced in my rear view mir- ror. That's when I noticed hint making a fast turn- around behind 111e. and I look- ed down at my speedometer. I knew 1 was in trouble. Sure enough, the red lights flashed. Anyone who has ever ex- perienced it will know the sickening feeling that over- comes you when you see those red lights in your rear view mirror.

It's paying the fine that hurls. don't drive at dangerous- ly excessive speeds. On the other hand, I will admit that my car does riot travel com- fortably at 841 km/hr. Unless keep a close eye on my Bet- sy, she'll try to sneak up around the 83-, to 90 range. But even she complains if she is ever pushed to the 100 mark. This is my third speeding ticket in my 12 years of driv- ing. 'That's not a record to be proud of, hut when one con- siders the kilometers I've Mary's musings By Mary Alderson covered, it's not bad. I've done a lot of driving. My first speeding ticket was given me soon after I -bought my first car. A friend tells me that the two events often go hand in hand. Then a year and a half ago I had the dubious honour of being handed a speeding ticket by a Mountie in Manitoba. On that occasion 1 was hurrying to the Brandon airport in a rented car, anx- ious to catch my plane hone. The fact that I was catching an airplane. and 1 was an out - of -province visitor failed to impress the RCMP. 1 had to mail a cheque back to Win- nipeg when I got hone. Please turn to page 24 grow up. Pressure in Chris- tian homes was discussed, and some pressures are caus- ed by discouragement. We should not let trials get us down.
