A Letter on Driving
Here's an open letter to a young driv-
er, quoted by the Ontario Safety League
NO which has particular significance : as
.approaching' Spring attracts increased
htgltway traffic.
Dear Son
You are angry with me, and maybe
•fou' have a right to be. Each, time I
Ode with you we seem to endup argu-
ing about- your driving habits. Your
visits home shouldn't be like that, but
habits `are hard to break, and I've been'
telling you what you should and should:
n't do for a long time now.
When I tell you that you are driving
too fast or taking unnecessary chances
in crowded city streets, I am only re-
living days you have likely forgotten.
I'm remembering. the first time you
sped down our hill on your new roller
skates. You grinned at my warning to
be careful —and ended up with torn
clothes and-"bki&ly knees: You' were
lucky you broke only your skis when
you tried a jump the first time you wore
them. Riding a strange horse bareback
looked like danger to me, but you were,
enjoying the thrill until you ended up
in a ditch, badly bruised and cut.
You were always a leader, always
one of the most daring in the gang, and
you gave your mother and me many
anxious moments While you were grew--
ing up. Now that you are a • man in a
roan's world, it's hard for .us.to remem-
ber that you don't have to listen to us
any longer.
Strangely enough, our concern for
you is just as great now as it was the
day yen took your first. step. Perhai?a it
i'sn't'so sirango, because now we know
What a, great potential you have, and
.what a wonderful life-Iies ahead of you.
To risk snuffing out all this in a heed-
less .moment behind the wheel is un •
-
You are still the daring spirit, and
you havennt yet learned to be cautious,
to be a defensive driver. Only the
years will bring you wisdom to go
along with your good co-ordination
and reflexes. Your mother and I can't
help telling you what We have learned
in over twenty years of driving. We
can't watch you make the same mis-
takes we made and not cry out.
Try to understand, son, that we are
proud of you and your accomplishments.
When we criticize' your driving, it's
because we're still afraid that some-
where, somehow your luck will run
out.
• If you can be patient with us, we
will try to keep from treating you like
-• the little boy who once lived with us.
• Come home again soon:
Love
thinkable to us.

Defence Minister Hellyer may have
moved too fast in his • plan to unify the
armed services,- but we doubt it. There
was going to be trouble anyway. Mr.
Hellyer may have decided that it was
best just to, get it over with.
This argument occurs to us after hav-
ing read the evidence of the long pro-
cession of admirals and generals
through the parliamentary - defence
committee. Not one of them seems to.
have got it through his skull that the ,
government's decision to . proceed was
based on its conviction that there will
never be any repetition . of World War
II, any more, than that there will be . a
repetition of World,War I.
Their'arguments — the admirals and
generals, we mean — are based on
some deep-seated conviction that we
must retain the' skeletons of three sep-
'arate armed services,,nso that, they can
all be rapidly expanded into the mass
fighting forces which proved neces-
sary in 1,914 and 1939. From such a
conception there flows the consequence '
that we must have lots of brass about
so that this expansion will be effective-
ly carried out.
The government, on the other hand,
has a different view. Rightly or wrong-
ly, Prime Minister Pearson, Mr. Hell-
. yer and the rest, have come VS the
firm conclusion that the "big" war of
the future, if it ever comes, will be
fought by nuclear power. It will be a

ness. It will be decisively .over long be --

our sailors and our' airmen have, in two
past . wars, had virtually British uni-
forms.' The Canadian flash on the
shoulders marked them out, and that
was about all. If and when unification
is brought about, the Canadian fight-
ing man, for the first time in our his-
tory, will have a truly distinctive uni-
form, green instead of khaki, green in-
'stead of navy blue, green instead of air
force blue.
4 Their function,_ as Mr. Hellyer sees
it, will be to serve in the various small
wars, the various critical situations,
that have marked the years -since, 1945.
In that context, our armed men will be •
highly skilled and highly inter -change-
able. They will operate as a single unit
on land, on the sea and in the • air, and
"they will have their own traditions.
These, to be.sure, will lack the Nelson
touch, , or the Wellington touch (both
representing of course not a Canadian
but a British tradition). Their officers
will lack both swords • and horses, but
---will.,.,tltey be the worse for that?' We
doubt it. freaking traditions, either
good or bad, real or phoney, is always
a wrench for some people. But a good
hard look at the future is better than an
aching nostalgia for the past.
