NVith the first long weekend of the 1967 summer only a
few days away, 'I'm taking a good look atiny driving habits.
If I find that I've , slipped unthinkiligInnto, unsafe driving
habits perhaps now is the time to mate a anid-year resolution
to tuth over a new leaf.This will likely be the most exciting
summer ever for most" Canadians. Visitors from other countries
anSi other provines will be joining • in our Centennial celebra-
j,jjSns and OUT highways will be busier than ever leading travel-
lers from one, community to another. For most visitors routes
will be unfamiliar ones. Roads which we use every day ars'weetk
and to us hold no "mysteries" may sometimes be confusing or
difficult to a stranger struggling to remember directions or
„becoming tired atter a long day's drive. Simple driving courtesy
and a strict "toeing of the line" on safe driving habiteould
make the trip easier and safer for OUT visitOTS . . . and ounselve&
A real way that every driver could put warmth in his :wel-

highways this summer.. Who knol,vs, if we all imactiee this for .
'six Months, it could become so automatic that the annual
slaughter on. our highways might lessen instead' a climb KWh-
year. Needless cutting in and out by drivers faniiliar- with a road

can lead to accident kf a Visitor is unsure of the way. And,
did belligerent horn -honking ever , move traffic any
quicker?

. It might be a wonderful way of welcoming visitonsk if we
made an efrt id keep track of the various happenings' in our
area during the summer and fall months. That way we'll be
able togive helpful direetions to viSitors . a small courtesy
appreciated by any traveIler:We. are hosts to the world this
year. Canadians are usually regarded as quietly 'friendly, usually
helpful and polite. This year we have a unique opportunity. a
proving to the wiirld just what we are. ,Often it's the very small
things that. a traveller remembers with pleasure or distaste.
Small things that will color his ,desire to return to a happy
holiday spot or to vow never to return again.- A pleasant smile,
a helping hand and the small Courtesies that we extended to
our friends will provide a store of happy 'memories for visitors
from other lands'or other parts of our eiVn country.
