BELL
LINES

Canada's° annual Safe -Driving Week is over for another
year. By stressing defensive droving techniques during this week,
the Canadian Highway Safety Council, hoped to ,make„ motorists
aware of every :knbwn safe , driving' !procednure., so that they
will •beater remember and practise ,them for the, otther 51 weeks
of the year. We at Bell Canada -apt least all of us who drive our
0 own cars on business or the familiar green vehicles -weld know
the Impor'ta'nce of driving defensively. All of us who do any
driving as part of our work at Bell Canada must take and pass
a pretty rugged Company course even though we have provincial
driving permits. And; in recent-yearsthis course has stressed
defensive driving. Really, defensive ,driving is little more than
common sense. I't 'means learning how to recognize potentially
dangerous situations,.learning how to avoid them, then putting
' this knowledge to use. Since 42,'per cent of the people surveyed
. in connection 'with The Canadian Driver's' Test television pro-
gram smame 'time back failed the test, it seems that few people
know where danger .lurks. With winter setting in with its
snowstorms, sleet, ice and sub -zero temperatures, defensive driv-
ing becomes more dmportant than ever. Driver Improvement
counses have been held in many parts of the country' this year
and more are planned ,for the months to name. Driving condi-
tions have changed drastically since many of us received our
flirt permits, and a fresh look at our driving 'habits could make
motoring safer and more . enjoyable on our crowded streets and
highways. And, It could make for a hap'pier holiday season, when
so many people will be travelling to join families and friends for
dhristinas and New Year's celebrations.

ago about the mean in California 'who has collected 20,000 tele-

be just an .unusual hobby is really a "tool of this man's pro-
iession. He's a tracer Of lost persons, and his lifrary of tele-
