Forrester - Edf tor and Manager Common SenseMust Prevail if you',re driving anywbere bhïs Civîc Holiday Week-end your f irst essential for a saf e and happy trip is plain common oeene, courtcsy and patience. This point was made by Ontario Transport Minister James Auid as lie suggesbed a four-point check-list for good divers in tlie bcavy holiday trafufic. Keep a safe distance bebinid the car ahead-- at leasb one car length for e'very.10 miles per hour of your speed. 1Ailow pien'ty of time for your brip, and shrug lb off if traffic slows you down more than you bad antïcipated. Watcli for "hig'hway hypnosis'": If your reactions are getting slow, turn off wliere you can park and strebeli your legs before going on. Move wi'bh the traýffic, at wliatever speed it is going. Anyone wlio persists in going ither faster or lower than, snost other cars on thc road is a creator of accidents. "Ail good drivers foilovv these ruies," Mn. Auld said. "They're only common sense. The person iVho tail-gabes, or deviates in some other way from these standards, is being dungerously careless. * "Good sensible dî-iving ican make Iis CivIe Holiday Weekenid safer and liapper, for evcrybody." Money Wasteld An editoriai appearing in thc Oshawa Times bas saved us f rom writing the same reaction when we first noted the ý1ew intersection slgns erected along- Highway 401. From bbc Times: "We Wonder What free-spending genlus in bhc Ontario Dcpartment of 1ighways tliouglit up the gimmic'k 0f thc nunthered exits on Higbuway 401. Another cause of wonder- ment us that bbc higbways minister approved tbe idea.

But mere tbousands of dollars'have become picyune items, VobbcheDepartment 0f 1Htghways. .Thc numnbercd exits are supposcd to be an improvement But are tbey? We thin'k not. Tic signs with place names werc adequate; they couid be casily read by motorists diving w1tlhin or atthe speed limit -- and there is no reason to make any sort 0f concession to bbc peopie wbo cxceed thc imit. Moreover,' they could bcecasily folowed, in conjunction witli ordinary road maps, by motorists not acquaintcd with-tlie arcaus blrougli whicb 401 passes, Now thc Dcpartmnent Of- Hgbways must.,produce 5pecial maps, to show bow bbc numbcred exits link with other roads and communities' the road maps produccd to date do flot permit tie additionai of sucli detailcd information, or if they do, bbc type must be seo smail as o be difficuit o decdpher. Techclange, states thc Times, is entrcly unnecessary ,and wastcful,"1 -ANew Univesity Thc Counties Council of Northumbcrland and Durhami bave been urged o support thc purchasing 0f a site for a Univcrsity in thc Trenton area. Tic brief put forth notes bbc Jack of University accommodation which is to cxist in bbc near future and points Vo bbc fact bliat no0 University serves ani area east from Toronto Vo Kingston, Thus here is'a necd for a University to serve this area. Vicwing bbc need 0f a University can oniy lbe donc bbrougb ompiied figures and it appears tbat those figures supplied Vo the United Counties are of a provincial nature and flot sufficient for hs arca for any real consderation. Also Vo say Vt bbcth area from Toronto Vo Kingston is noV or wiil noV lie scrved by an University is not prescnting a truc picture. Ib oniy presents a picture 0f a narrow band atong bbc lake- shore. Diurham Couiity iil ceitainiy lie scrved by tic ncw Linversiby at Peterboroughi, bbc Trent University. The city of Peterlborough lias tie facilîties Vo previde the needs and crtainly the majoeity of students in Durhami would find a 'iess o the UnIversuty in Peteriborough mixcb casier bban in thc Trenton area. IV would appear that if Durhiam Couniy is o support a University it could be of more licuafit Vo sup- port the Trent University than any sucli Unîversity' in Tren- ton. There is aiso a possuLbility et a University, in Oshawa sormetime un Vie future. Tiere is litUle douit of tic need for more Univerýites but planning of locatons should lie thc first obligation in or- dier that thcy may provida thc grcatcst convenicncei to thé, grclatcst number. The Provine can certanly lay bhc directuon fo-r sucl i moves and tVo turtiher empioy economy.
