Sate Driving Week December 1siTo 7th SAFE-DRIVING WEEK 1966 will begin at midnight, Wednesday, Novem- ber 30, and end at midnight, Wednes- day, December 7. SAFE-DRIVING WEEK is not a campaign to reduce or eliminate death .and destruction on the highway for one week of the year. to bring the actual number of deaths below the number anticipated. SAFE-DRIVING WEEK is designed to focus national and local public at- tention on the means to reduce high- way death and suffering throughout the year, to beseech the motoring and walking public to take advantage of - the week to practice safe driving and walking techniques, sincerely and atten- tively, so they may become more aware of them and use them instinctively at all times. SAFE-DRIVING WEEK will not con- vert many motorists or pedestrians into ideal drivers and walkers during its seven days, nor will it transform the highways and streets to traffic Utopias. With the participation of everyone, the campaign will advance the techni- ques of safe driving, instill them in men and women so they will know them and use them throughout the year. ~~ What you learn or dsicover during Safe-Drivng Week may prevent your 'death or injury in the months to come. "death with poise? Nor is it a contest - Cn bon ; £ yt od SER Ve > et & : 358 Senay \ CR ~ MARRIAGE: A TOUGH TASK What is the most difficult thing in the world to do? Climb a mountain? Swim Lake Ontario? Get through to a teenager? Face Be a real Christian? Nope. : All of these can be done, if you have trained long enough and hard enough to prepare yourself for them; or if you have certain qualities of character. y Hilary climbed Everest. Marilyn Bell swam the lgke. They began by climbing small mountains, swimming little lakes. There are a few recorded cases of adults with great patience and insight getting through to teenagers. But they probably practised on little teenagers, the 13-year-olds, not yet battle-hardened. One can face death with poise, if one has ~ learned to face with poise all the little deaths that make up life. One can even become a good Christain by starting on the little things like generosity and forgiveness and working up to the big hurdles, like humility and love. The most difficult thing in the world today ? To make and maintain a good marriage. 'There's no place to train, for one thing. How do- you-get in shape? You can't start having little marriages in preparation for the big one. At least not around these parts you can't. Although some people try. I know one bird who says he has been happily mar- ried three times. All his wives are alive, not to mention kicking. And it doesn't matter how many fine quali- ties you have. A veritable saint, of either sex, can have a rotten marriage; and a verit- able bum, of either sex, can have a good marriage. You might be better to read a good book ; : J a 2 REAR PIAL fe Nd AAD BE AY retreating in that blood-soaked no-man's-land between husband and wife, I think I have a right to be heard. There's nothing wrong with marriage itself. And some wag will interject here, of course, "So is Kingston Penitentiary." But let's not be eynical. It's a venerable institution. shares, And togetherness? You'll get total togetherness until you look in the mirror some day, when you're 65, and realize with a shock that you look more like your wife than she does. 4 But according to us old sweats, marriage is mostly a matter of staying power. Stay out of jail, stay on the job, stay away from other paper. T No it's our modern conception of marriage that's all wrong. We laugh at the Victorians. Prudish stuffed shirts. But they were on the right track. For them, marriage was a seri- ous business, evolved to meet specific needs in their society. For them, romantic love was usually tragic. There are no illusions about marriage in Hardy, Thackeray, Galsworthy, We are the ones with the illusions, And delusions. For us, marriage is like that cot- ton candy you buy on the midway. It's whip- ped together out of hot air and sugar. It's pink and fluffy and you can hardly wait to get your teeth into it. And the first mouth- ful is sweet, delicious. But pretty soon it's gone, and you're a little sick, and it's all over your face and in your hair, and you're left with a little roll of gooey 2 hats when marriage really begins. Well, Mr. Diefenbaker has a favorite say- ing: "When the going gets tough, the tough "get going." And that's what marriage is like. Those who just think they're tough get going and keep right on going. But we really tough ones rig in our heels and stay with it. And stay and stay and stay. According to all the propaganda from movies, television, and the Ladies Home Journal, marriage is one big, wonderful miasma of giving and taking, of sharing, of total togetherness. ~~ Oh, those things are there. You give and your wife takes. She's willing to share every- thing you have, from your bank account to your booze. Not necessarily equal shares, but "column, '¢ Authorized as second class 'mail by the Post ~ women, stay on the wagon, stay healthy until " your persion begins, and stay out of her way when the old lady gets steamed up.
