first course offered by the Mount
Forest high school, which began
in October. The current course
started in April and will end in
Jut/.
Mr. Dukes lists the e main bene-
fits, aside from insurance rate
drops, as better driving skills,
proper driving attitudes and de-
fensive driving instincts.
The prime purpose of the
course is "to save lives", says
Mr. Dukes. "If we can save one
life through the training offered
in this course, it will be worth it."
He said it is best to start the
drivers when they are young be-
cause their reflexes are better
and they have not developed too
many bad driving habits that are
hard to break in adults.
The defensive driving course,
now offered in over 400 high
schools in Ontario, requires that
the student be 16 years of age and
have his or her 365 day beginner's
permit.
The Dominion Driving School
previously handled Mount Forest
high school's course but now the
course is operated directly by the
school. General Motors, through
the dealers, Wickham Motors of
Mount Forest, supply the ears for
the course free of charge.
Mr. Dukes, like Mr. Logan,
would not like to see the course
become compulsory in the school
curriculum, although some occu-
pational schools in Canada and
many schools in the United States
have made it compulsory.
Part of Mr. Dukes' course
includes exposure to city -driving
condiHi'ons. "We take at least one
tpOa Hamilton and one to Kit-
chener during each course to let
all of the students drive under
city conditions. They should be
able to drive under any condi-
tions once they graduate from
this course and that is what we
are trying to give them the
chance to do."
Personally, Mr. Dukes prefers
city driving conditions, espe-
cially larger cities such as To-
ronto. "It is safer to drive in
places -like Toronto . because 90
per cent of the drivers there are
used to it. They know what they
are doing and where they are
going, whereas, when you get into
smaller towns, especially in the
summer with the tourists, many
people are lost and don't ,know
how to drive under conditions
.that are :quite foreign to them,"
-He adds, "The drivers you
'sh'oUId be'warrietl'abb t ate :those
'i'Iio air'etr't'uted'Ed'`"thetiiarticular
driving situation they are in."
Mr. Dukes also cites "negligent
attitudes" as being the biggest
CHESS TIME
How does
a champ
act?
By JOSEPH MILL BROWN
Some years ago veteran
chess raconteur,. Irving Cher-
nev described a mob scene at
a club when the guest of honor
was the then reigning world
champion, the flamboyant
Jose Capablanca of Cuba -
the chess world's contribution
to the legend of the 1920s.
A youngster in the crowd
who had never seen the cham-
pion asked Chergev to point
him out when he came into the
room.
"I won't have to," replied
Chernev. "When Capablanca
comes in, you'll know he's the
champ."
A champion is a champion
for good reason. Even in de-
feat history's most famous
chess amateur, Napoleon
Bonaparte, possessed an in-
timidating presence. In his di-
ary, "Taking Napoleon to St.
Helena," John'R. Glover, who
accompanied Bonaparte,
noted the Corsican's tech-
nique in a game against Gen..
1VMontholdn.
"He (Napoleon) appeared
to play but badly, and certain-
ly very much inferior to his
antagonist, who nevertheless
was determined not to win the
game from his ex -majesty."
Perhaps because chess is
cerebral, a champion is often
brilliant in discussing the
game as well as playing it. No
cause of accidents. He says,
"More people were killed on
highways in the last five or Six
years than in the last two World
Wars."
Mount Forest's driving Coure
is listed as a night -class subject,
and is taught to students mainly
after school hours. Mr. Duke
also has adult students during the
evening hours. He says many
adults who have been driving for,
years With: a Mans . e Still take • the
course and he we eta this In
terest.
He gets all types of driver
young ones who have never
driven before; old ,ones who had
never driven before and those
who have driven all their lives.
"This is the way it should be'
because driving isn't something
you can just learn quickly and
then go ahead and do it all your

One of my Calgary readers has
sent me a very interesting docu-
ment recently, a document that
was placed on the notice board of
a business firm in the Midlands of
England back in 1852. It was a set
of new regulations for the white
collar workers of that firm and
advertises itself as being parti-
cularly lenient toward the staff in
compliance with the labour legis-
lation which had been enacted by
the British Parliament a few
years previously. My Britannica
tells me that the most significant
part of this 'legislation was a
regulation which prevented ,an
employer from demanding more
than ten hours a day from women
and children. `
For men, there seems to•.have
been no limits to the hours he
could be asked to work.
This notice would seem toindi-
cate that this Midland firm had
switched to an eleven hour day,
and it would indeed be interesting
to know whether it employed men
only, or whether it employed
women too and was cheating the
new law by an hour. Anyhow, for
those of you anti -union people
who are forever harking back to
the good old days, here are the
staff regulations as posted by this
English firm just 122 years ago:
1. Godliness, cleanliness and
punctuality are the necessities of
a good business.
2. This firm has reduced the
hours of work and the staff will
now only' have to be present be-
tween the hours of 7 a.m. and 6
p.m.
3. Daily prayers will be held -
each morning in the main office.
'"he' stu f'will lie_ present. ` z
.4. oth ng mtistbe o' a sober
nature. The staff will not disport '
itself in raiment of bright colours.
5. Overshoes and- -topcoats
one explained What chess is
all about better than ex -
champion Emanuel Tasker
' when he wrote that, "On the
chessboard lies and hypocrisy
do not survive • long. The cre-
ative conbination Tays bare. -
the presumption of a lie; the
merciless fact, culminating in
a checkmate, contradicts the
hypocrite."
Nothing too is as electric as -
a conflict of Wills between two
champions - especially if of
the opposite sex. At the 1970
. Olympiad in Siegen, Ger-
many, the big entertainment
was guessing whose personal-
ity would emerge triumphant
in the clash between Bobby
Fischer and the attractive
Brazilian women's champion,
Ruth Cardoso.
Twice they 'passed each oth-
er in a corridor. Apparently
aware of Fischer's allergy to
strangers, Miss Cardoso
pursed her lips, raised her
nese and walked by -hi7n as if
Bobby was swimming in in-
visible ink.
The third time it happened,
the startled Brazilian beauty
was brought to a halt by
Fischer's tall presence. "I
like you!" he told her abrupt-
ly. "You're a quiet person ! "
- and hurried away before
she could get her breath back.
A half century ago a good
night's sleep was considered
the best kind of training for a
championship match. To this
theory ..were grafted supple-
mental ideas • from diametri-
cally opposite poles. One
preached the necessity to re-
store burnt -up mental energy
with vigorous physical exer-
cise. (Fischer and Boris
Spassky are today's disci-
ples.) But another group be-
lieved that muscle -stretching
was less helpful thap seden-
tary relaxation. .
may not be worn in the office but
neck scarves and headwear may
be worn in inclement weather.
6. A stove is provided for the
benefit of the staff. Coal and wood
must be kept in the locker. It is
recommended that each member
of the staff bring four pounds of
coal each day during cold
weather.
7. No member of the staff
may leave the room without per-
mission. The calls of nature are
permitted and the staff may use
the garden below the second gate.
This area must be kept in good
order.
8. No talking allowed during
business hours.
9. The craving of tobacco,
wines or spirits is a human weak-
ness and as such is forbidden to
all »melnbers of the staff:
10. Now that the hours of
business haire been drastically
reduced the partaking of food is
allowed between 11.30 a.m. and,
noon, but work will not on any
account cease.
11. Members of the staff will
provide their own pens and pen-
cils.
12. A sehior clerk will be nomi-
nated to be responsible for the
cleanliness of the main office and
the private office. All boys and
juniors will report to him -40
minutes before prayers and will
remain after closing hours for
similar. work. Brushes, brooms,
scrubbers and soap are provided
by the owners. •
And to these generous regula-
tions the management adds this
plaintive note of inspiration:
The owners recognize the
g.etieroSity • new 'L bode
ws; :but will expect a great Hie
in the output of work to compen-
sate for these near Utopian con-
ditions .. .
• These theorieswere tested
in. one Scandinavian chess
championship. Finland's
Gunnar Book walked 15 miles
• every day. His opponent was
Gustav Stoltz of Sweden
( whose game, below, against
Rudolf Spielmann was a clas-
sic of :sacrificial chess).
Stoltz's favorite training rou-
tine was to sit with friends in a
hotel lobby drinking schnapps
until well aftei;\midnight. Both
men slept well, and long.
The match ended in a draw.

Again, the Bourse is per

in -class instruction and eight
hours of in -car 'training,
The late Earl Davis of Listovi
was course co-ordinator for some
time, operating both the class-
room and behind -the -wheel fac-
ets of the course. Now, however,
the in -class instruction, is con-
ducted by a London driving
school and the in -car instruction
is carried on by MurrayThomp-
son, who, aside from being a sea -
wined driver, also has a helicop-
ter license.
The school handles the course
itself, the same as Wingham and
Mount Forest, and operates a car
courtesy of Jackson Motors,
Listowel.
William Carmichael, principal
of the school, says,the course has
had "excellent success".
"The students get a really good
basic training in proPerdriving
procedures through this course.
Every student should take it," he
says.
He also would not like to see it
become compulsory in the school
curriculum because "we . get
most of the students who are in-
terested in driving anyway,"
Mr. Carmichael says it is not
bad training that causes » acci-
dents among young drivers. "I
think they get good training be-
cause of courses such as this one
and they have the potential to be
the best drivers on the roads. I
think it is drinking and driving
that causes the accidents, not so
much negligence, because, when
they are sober, most of them are
good, alert drivers. It's the
alcohol behind the wheel that
causes problems."
Whatever the problems, cars
are dangerous in the wrong
hands. And it is defensive driving
courses such as those conducted
in Wingham, Mount Forest and
Listowel that are helping to put
safety, skill and knowledge back
into driving.
