6 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday July 20, 1982 OPP plans show of force on highways for Aug. 1 Every available OPP unit will be on patrol for the Civic Holiday weekend, July 31 - Aug. 2, according to OPP Commissioner James Erskine. THE LIPIZZAN STALLIONS are coming! WATCH FOR DETAILS NEXT WEEK! The poor weather at the start of the summer discour- aged travellers, but the Civic Holiday is expected to be one of the most heavily travelled weekends of the year. "We constantly find that excessive speed is a major contributing factor in serious traffic accidents,' says Comm. Erskine, who is also chairman of the Ontario Traffic Safety Council. "A holiday weekend is a time to relax and take things easy. Your driving should be the same -- when you're not pushing yourself, you find you don't tailgate and can negotiate curves easily." OPP patrols, many using radar units, will be watching for the speeding motorist. Much of the enforcement Ladies' & Men's Jeans, Blouses, Shirts, Belts, Headbands.
