Haysom your telephone manager Bell Canada has always urged employees to use all possible safety precautions when working and in recent years has stressed safe driving habits. One of the safety groups in our Company recently circulated a report of an experiment made by a tire company and a precision in. strument maker. The astonishing results show that too fast, tense, erratic driving is not only dangerous but saves little time. Two identical cars were fitted with instruments which registered every driving detail during a 1,000.mile trip. The devices showed how often the driver braked, and how hard; how many cars he passed and how many overtook him, and the total driving time. One driver was told to do what we all do when we are in a hurry — overtake when it's safe and take bends at the maximum speed the car and our own ability will allow. The second driver made the trip in a relaxed style, avoiding any risk and moving as the traffic flow permitted. Results show that after 1,000 miles the speed.hog fin- ished only 31 minutes ahead of the easy-does-it driver. The speedster had almost 2I times as many swerves, stomps on the accelerator and "here-I-go-hope-I-make-it" bursts on the wrong side of the road. In the test the faster driver used about 10 gallons more gas than his competitor. The added wear and tear on the hard driver's brake linings, suspension and engine was obvious. During the drive the fast car had four emergency brakings and 1,335 other brakings as compared to no emer- gency brakings and 652 other brakings for the slow car. The fast car , overtook 2,004 cars as compared to 645 by the slow car and was overtaken by 13 autos while the slow car was passed by 142. It looks like we'd be doing ourselves and our cars a good turn by slowing down — especially when only a few minutes are lost in the process. What's a half-hour over 1,000 miles? Names make news as they say and if that's the case, one of the newsiest items of the year is on its way to area residents. It's your new telephone directory of course. Al. though the cover is outstanding from a design point of view — a real award-winner I'd say — it is really the new and changed list- ings that are most important to you. I find it is always a good idea to double check my personal list of frequently called numbers against the new directory listings. We have a handy per- sonal directory to help you make and keep a list of those you call most frequently. It has room for more than one hundred addresses and numbers; a section that lists area codes in Canada and the United States; a section with a four year calendar; plus a section that doesn't list anything at all. You can use it to keep track of birthdays, anniversaries and special events. What's more, it is free. Just call our business office and we'll send you one. It's a handy little book to have around.
