Wed. & Fri. evenings till 9.30 p.m. and all day Saturday, 2,9,16,23b ONE FOR THE ROAD The origin of this veiled reference to drinking and driving is obscure. Probably it came down from Old Dob­ bin days in England. If this last one for the road topped off several prev­ ious drinks, it didn’t matter much in those days. Horse sense would very probably carry the maudlin driver safely home. How different today. The “one for the road’’ might so eas­ ily be on© for the ditch, the hospital or the morgue—perhaps all three. Conclusive scientific prdof has shown that a. driver having 1% pints of 6% beer will be affected as follows: 1. Selective reactions e. g- making decisions, slow down 10%. 2 Muscular reactions e.g. moving hands and feet, slow down 7%%. 3 Mental concentration e.g. Watch­ ing his driving, loss up to 35%, The problem fact is that the “one for the road’’ Is fraught with tragedy, —Advt. 9b United Church Young People Meet The meeting opened with a song led by Margaret Machan. | The worship service in charge of Lois Walker opened with a hymn.
