other age groups have shown a 50 per cent increase this is attrib uted to the diligent efforts of those members who have and are now serving in this move ment since the first parade was conducted with

denby your telephone manager how do you drive with the first long weekend of the 1967 summer only a few days away im taking a good look at my driving habits it i find that ive supped unthinkingly into unsafe driving habits perhaps now is the tune to make a mid year resolution to turn over a new leaf this will likely be the most exciting summer ever for most canadians visitors from other countries and other provinces will be joining in our centennial celebra tions and our highways will be busier than ever leading travellers from one community to another for most visitors routes will be unfamiliar ones roads which we use every day or week and to ua hold no mysteries may sometimes be confusing or difficult to n stranger struggling to remember directions or becoming tired after a long days drive simple driving courtesy and a strict toeing of the line on safe driving habits could make the trip easier and safer for our visitors and ourselves a real way that every driver could put warmth in his welcome to our visitors is to drive safely and courte ously on our highways this summer who knows if we all practice this for six months it could become so automatic that the annual slaughter on our highways might lessen instead of climb each year needless cutting in and out by drivers familiar with a road can confuse another driver searching for road signs tailgating can lead to an accident if a visitor is unsure of the way did belligerent hornhonking ever move traffic any quicker it might be a wonderful way of welcoming visitors if we all made an effort to keep track of the various local activities in our area during the summer and fall months that way well be able to give helpful directions to visitors a small courtesy appreciated by any traveller we are lttmsto the worurias weak canadians are usually regarded as quietly friendly usually helpful and polite this year we have a unique opportunity of proving to the world just what we are often its the very small things that a traveller remembers with pleasure or distaste small things that will color his desire to return to a happy holiday spot or to vow never to return again a pleasant smile a helping hand and the small courtesies that we extend to our friends will provide a store of happy memories for visitors from other lands or other parts of our own country if you are planning a trip yourself this summer now is the time to complete arrangements your telephone can help you complete this chore quickly and easily it can go shopping for the extra few things we always seem to need before a trip run
