careful, courteous driving in holi-

they can express theireseasonal
spirit of generosity, good cheer and
consideration for others.
W. B. G. Reynolds, recently ap-

Efild-es these four special seasonal
pointers for Ontario motorists:
1. Trans_late your Christmas season
goodwill toward all men into
goodwill, patience, courtesy and
considerateness for all other
users of the roads;
2. Watch constantly for pedestrians,
especially children and old
3. Make it a habit to allow more
space than you think you.need:
between your car and the vehicle
ahead; for coming to a stop at
intersections; wherever You
might need to stop unexpectedly;
4. Take it easy—a holiday season
should be a time when hurry
(and with it the kinds of speeds
-that kill) is obviously of no profit
to anyone.
