ATKEY - - - - - - Editor and Publisher THURSDAY, JULY 17, 1947 BE CAREFUL ON .THE HIGHWAYS! iltuate'd as the town tips at the intersection of two matin highways, Ivg''s' Highways 4 and 8, the vital) inter- ested of Clinton undoubtedly are y ested in the current safety campaign of •the' Ontario De- partment of Highways. Who caiuses the majority of accidents wild, reck- less, drunken drivers? Not accordiing to Arthur Rowan, tviho,is in charge of the accident recording division of the Depa>r+tmnent. "Motorists wino consider themselves good drivers' because they never have had an accident and as- sume they never will have one, contribute greatly to the volume' of highway traffic !accidents," stated Mr. Rowan. He pointed out that, fortunately, there were madly good drivers who had developed and re'gul'arly practised safe driving habits. Many of !these had never had an accident. But tthere.was a group of drivers who did not practise safe habits !and who 'inaptly credited their ability ,.rather titan luck for keeping them out of ,trouble. Referring to interviews he had had with hundreds df matorists involved in accidents, Mr. Rowan said that piadti'cally all considered. themselves 'good .drivers. 'Dhey told him their accidents happened when they Were driving in the 'name• manner as they had time and time again without mishap. But investigation proved that they were not ''Observing the rules of safe ,clawing. Sooner or later, said' Mr. Rowan, the motorist , who 'considered himself a good driver simply because he had never head 'an 'accident 'would have one unless he practised the ordinary rules of safe driving. Rather than "carelessness" which he •salid was a catch-all term, Mr. Rowan attributed tJhe basic cause of most ear 'accidents to inattention, poor judgment, and lack of underStandinfg of the requirements of safe driving and safe walking. Mr. Rowan thought that one df the most important rule's for safe driving was to anticipate danger in time to be prepared for it. For instance, It was a safe pradtise, • he explained, to slow down before reaching an • intemection, by taking the foot off the gas and placing it in position on the 'brake pedal. This reduced the "re- action time" in event Of an emergency. He also advised adopting the habit of slowing dawn 'when passing parked_ cams, as manly accidents were 'caused by pedestrians step- ping without warning into the path of a moving vehicle. Finally, all drivers should know thoroughly and should observe at all time's the traffic rules and regulations. The need for strict atten'ti'on to driving and walk- ing, impoaitant always, became More urgent in the sum- mer months, Mr. Rowan said. The great increase in vehicular traffic, the thousands of sehool children on holidays, plus the carefree 'attitude of holiday drivers, ad- ded to the accident hazards of our streets and highways. ;Since 'the formation of the accident recording divis- ion in 1930, some 300,000 m'oto'rists have been involved in tratffic accidents, Mr. Rowan said. The death toll in these 16 years has been roughly 10,000, while' about 165,000 Have been injured. Property loss in this period ranged from 16 million to aver $30 million to year, he stated. O 0 0 Q: I sent a wool dress to the dry cleaners and it has shrunk so that I cannot wear it. Shouldn't` they give me the value of the dress? A;—This is a matter outside the juiisidiction of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board, However, we have found that most reliable dealers will try to stretch materials, which; have shrunk if you report the matter' to thein.. - Q:—Now that butter is off the ration list Why do restaurants,, which have increased .the pains of their ideals, continue to give us such small servings of butter? Can't the Board force them to give decent. servings? A:—Because Mattel. is off the ra- tion listandthe price of meals has been decontrolled the Board does not control the size of servings. * * * EDITORIAL COMMENT Thought for Today—The answer to what makes shoe strings break seems to be being in a hurry.
