Tru TOake Safety Campaign on the Road Already hundreds of trucks in Ontario are displaying eye-catching highway safety decals as part of a major Public Educational Campaign successfully launched at this year's Annual Convention of the Ontario Trucking Associa- tion. The campaign was'unveiled last week (November 21) by the Hon. James W. Snow, Minister of Transportation and Communications, who congratulated the trucking industry for its initiative and innovation in attempting to make our highways safer. He said that even the government could not afford to undertake such an impres- sive campaign, which will reach virtually all drivers in Ontario during the next year. Steve Andrunyk president and general manager of the Ontario Safety League, said that 90 per cent of highway accidents are caused by driver inattention. He noted that the Ontario Trucking Association campaign should have major impact in remind- ing all drivers to stay alert on the road. Within a few weeks, 37,000 trucks will be displaying one of four 24" x 14" decals bearing a highway safety message. George M. Hendrie, OTA President, said that research shows these decals will be seen 23 billion times by motorists in a single year. "No organization has been able to mount a compaign with such massive visibility and potent- ial positive impact on the public mind," he told the Association's Annual Conven- tion. A key issue discussed at the OTA Convention was the energy outlook and its impli- cation for the trucking industry. Ian Campbell, Executive Director, Research and Development Branch, the Ministry of Transportation and Communication, pre- dicted that gasoline and diesel fuel prices in Ontario will likely rise to $2 a gallon BOOK BEAT Provincial Honors certificates and pins were presented for completing 12 units to, from left to right, Bonnie Powell, Elizabethville; Katherine Penwardei, Tyrone and Tina Hiemstra, Solina, far right.

Education With Terry Hawkins There can be little question that we live in a youth oriented society. From every quarter we are, bombarded by mes- sages and advertisements tel- ling us about ways to retain our youth, or if we have already lost it, ways by which we can regain it. We hear of cars that nave that ' 'young spirit" and facial cremes which will deny people the knowledge that the user is a grandmother. On our tele- vision sets we watch young people sky dive, mountain climb and participate in a host of other exciting activities as part of the advertisine for certain products. The message comes through loud and clear that youth should be retainéd at all cost. It is a rather sharp contrast to the attitudes held several hundred years ago when people were respected for their age and young people attempted to look older by powdering their hair and wearing old style clothing. While there are many prob- lems with today's stress on youthfulness, there are many features as well. In an effort to provide our young people with benefits denied to previous generations. our society has provided more money, more resources, and more oppor- tunities for its youth than ever before in the history of man. These provisions have been given with almost unrestrict- ed generosity. As a result many good things have happened, but unfortunately not all the results have been good. One of the drawbacks has been that very little money has been left over to help other age grôups. People in the middle years and those in their senior years have needs too. Looking at eauca- tional aspects alone for a moment, it is now recognized that many people in these age groups require re education, re training, upgrading, updating and specific training to deal with the problems that evolve through the years. The need for the challenges, mental stimulation and the sense of worth necessary to all humans frequently can be met in the post youth years by involvement in some educa- tional process. As the years go by an even greater percentage of our population will be beyond the youth age group. We must never neglect the education of our young people, but we must also be realistic and develop a better balance in order that diere is continuous learning over a person's life time. Cut Use of Christmas Lighting As winter approaches, Ontario Hydro is asking cus- tomers to keep their Christ- mas displays modest to con- serve electricity. Winter months, with shorter daylight periods and colder In the midst of the rush before Christmas, a break with a relaxing novel may be just the thing. Here are a few of this season's best. The Night People When Lew can't sleep, he goes for middle-of-the-night walks but when his friends find out it turns from an exhilarating past-time to something much more sinister. The Immigrants Done in the style of Rich Man, Poor Man, this rags to riches to rags family saga is set in San Francisco in the early years of this century. Very entertaining. Lucifer Land The American Revolution often set neighbour against neighbour and one family member against another.

Read and find out. weather, result in a pro- nounced increase in daily electricity demands - as much as 2,000,000 to 3,000,000 kilo- watts over those experienced during the summer, according to H.K. Wright, Hydro's Director of Energy Conserva- tion. While not wanting to discourage the Christmas spirit, Hydro points out the need to moderate the size and use of lighting displays as part of Ontario's conservation pro- ,gram. Hydro is once again using the slogan "Off until 7 p.m., off again at bedtime" for the use of indoor and outdoor Christmas lighting displays for homes, stores and offices. Hydro does not anticipate problems in meeting power needs this winter. However, electric power consumption grows each year, and in order to keep these increases moderate, Hydro asks con- sumers to cut back on their use of electrical energy wherever they can, such as with Christmas displays.

He said he expects diesel power for automobiles will become increasingly, attractive to the general public as the price of fuel continues to escalate. Mr. Campbell noted the many actions taken by the trucking companies to con- serve energy - including the use of air deflectors, de-rated engines which use less power, dieselization which is becom- ing the norm for highway transportation, radial tires, driver education, improved FOR EVERY OCCASION 576m6465 5th maintenance practices, and more efficient route planning and servicing schedules. He commented that the savings achieved from these measures are largely additive and, therefore, "the scope for very considerable economies of operation are truly avail- able. We feel there is room for great optimism so far as the truck transportation industry in Ontario is concerned.' At another session on Management-labour re- lations, John F. Kennedy, President of the Motor Trans- port Industrial Relations Bureau of Ontario, said that the trucking industry has established a sound working relationship with unions. The industry has not had a legal strike since 1965 and few wildcat strikes because management and the unions set up internal machinery to settle grievances without having to wait months for arbitration boards. Mr. Kennedy suggested government seriously tackle its own labour problems instead of hassling t he private sector. He pointed out that a significant portion of the eleven million man-days lost due to work stoppages in Canada last year were in the public service or para-public service. Collective bargaining can work in the private sector without governmpent inter- vention. Mr. Kennedy recommnended the Ministry of Labour in the federal and provincial govern- ments be restructured and renamed as "Ministry of Productivity" with the emphasis on education and incentives to overconte the adversary industrial relation- ship. aorn STORE Anniversary Specials Here's what you can buy at Dairy Barn Stores: PURE ORANGE JUICE DELICIOUSCOTTAGE CHEESE EXTRA RICH ICE CREAM FRESH MILK RICH CREAMS NUTRITIOUS YOGURT CREAMERY BUTTER THICK SOUR CREAM FLAVOURFUL CHEESE FARM FRESH EGGS MAPLE LEAF BACON FLAVOUR PACKED MEATS " TASTY HAMBURG PATTI1ES " JUICYWIENERS " FLASH FROZEN FRIED CHICKEN " HOME STYLE BAKED GOODS • VITAMIN ENRICHED BREAD .
