A lot more folks, especially family groups will be taking -tithe highways in order to visit their grandparents or to make sure Uncle John receives that multi coloured necktie for Christmas again this year! At the risk of being tagged a pessimist, we all know that throughout 'the country our. old enemy the IMPAIRED DRIVER is going to be loose on ,our high- •,ways and that he's going to be responsible for an increase in accidents, injuries, and deaths. As I mentioned in my last column and at the risk of repeating myself, I want these Motorized Killers to know that police departments everywhere are' going to concentrate their efforts on removing the IMPAIRED DRIVER from our highways, especially at this time of the year. - So again,.I repeat, if you're going to drive, then DON'T DRINK. MOTORISTS If it's necessary for you to travel long distances this holiday season, then be doubly alert for hazards you might encounter during your trip. Be more alert for oncorriing drivers whose attention might he diverted by excited kids in the back seat, a wife interrogating her .husband to sec what he got' her for Christmas or any other' number of reasons that may cause the driver- to become a mite inattentive and wander over into your lane of traffic. SLOW DOWN ... Take your time while travelling to your destination. If you're a few minutes late, I'm sure Granny will keep the Lib er a1urge1 reinstate wolf bounty ,John' Eakins; Liberal M.P.,-P. ' for Victoria- Haliburton, ..l as urged the Government to consider reinstatement of the wolf bounty, at least for a short period. "Bush wolves are •creating serious problems in the Niagara area", said Mr. Eakins, "and people are being pain on an hourly basis to hunt down these predators. Surely the reinstatement of the wolf bounty would be a more practical and effective method of handling this problem. Throughout ..the Province wolves are being sighted'•more frequently than in recent years. Deer hunters have seen a great many of them, and there have been a number of sheep killed by wolves." "A system of paying hunters on a hourly :basis in only one specific area 'seems inefficient. and inequitable, since they could be paid a considerable amount , of money ,.or'' hours of work which are non -productive, - Mr, Eakins pointed cut. "I have, .therefore, urged the Minister to give, seriaus consideration to .the feasibility of reinstating the wolf bounty, at least for -a peri'l)d of approxfrmrteLy a year. in the hope that this action will prevent the situation getting out of hand. The wolf bounty would, I think, gener••ate more initiative for people to 'ac- tually go out and hunt these animals," he eo'ncludcd. Share the Joy Christmas dinner warm for you and your family. At least by slowing down and driving sensibly, you'll ensure that you get to eat that delicious meal. Also, if you are taking to the road at this time of the year, make absolutely , sure you check your vehicle over horoughly to ensure that all the components are working - properly. At this time of the year even a minor breakdown will probably result in, your being stuck on some lonely windswept highway for quite a period of time. Check' • tires, . gas ,oil, exhaust system, etc. so,,that you don't get stuck on the side of some cold and lonery high- way. Nobody wants to go through,a chilling experience of this type, Always carry spare blankets, flares, etc. in your trunk in order to ensure maximum "'comfort in the,• event of a breakdown oc- curring. PARENTS Traditionally, Christmas is a family time. A time when families get together to enjoy each other's company and exchange gifts purchased out of love for one another. Also, at this time of year, office parties; visits to old'"" friends and vice -versa are in " full swing. Please try to remember the family at tome and especially the little tots who are awaiting Santa's visit. Too often, police officers are called to family disputes at ' this time of the year. Usually the ole Demon Alcohol is to blame for the trouble, Don't drink ex- cessively and ruin Christmas for both you and your family. TEENAGERS AND KIDS Make 'a special effort to lie home with your parents and ,family also. This is one time,, `of the year when families should enjoy each other's company. So try and ease up ion partying with friends and ave fun at home. 4.wit bea`g�+1 time of the ;year for you to introduce your ,true love to the family. After all, at this time of -t.he year, dear old Dad might be more receptive to.mee,.ing the Long. Streak . of Misery his lovel daughter finds so wonderful. In closing fur this column'; I want "to take this opportunity cin. behalf _of all officers and staff at the Police Depart- ment in wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a safe and prosperous New Year.
