NOT IMPRESSIVE - Normal young people love to drive cars. But as a class, even without alcohol, their driving record is not impres- sive. Indeed, theirs is the worst record of all age groups. The "no-alcobol" rule uni- versally enforced in athletics transportation and industry, is based on sound scientific re- search into the actual effects of drinking. Fatigue is one very important effect, but only one. Alcohol blurs visions and interferes with skills involving split-second timing and good judgment. Reaction time is in- creased and gross errors are made in judging speeds and distance. Little wonder that alcohol is responsible for one out of five fatal traffic accidents in the United States, and that drink- ing drivers are involved in up- wards of 50 per cent of high- way crashes in Ontario.— (Advt.). resto TOWN & COUNTRY TIRES Here is the ideal winter tire...zips through slush and mud ... rolls quietly on bare pavement.
