It's wonderful what hardýAhi!pý dogs can endure -- and live. Scruffy, a rough-haired mongrfel terrier, was accicently locked in au South Wales gýarage.

M0illard W. Petersan "shald- oWs" accident-proof profeýssiana drivers in a belicaptcr and thon uses a rfiavie camnera that liter- ally catches themn in the act ai keeping out ai trouble. Det'roit automative iirm.i-s and several insurance conmpanies are, studlyiag Mr. Petersan's visujal- system ai teaching safe driving by demnonstrating andi adopting1 proved techniques under aIl raad conditions as practiced success- iully by truck driveýrs andi bus ope-ra-tors with years aiunntr ruptpd saiety records. MrU, Petersan's teachingmeh od reverses the negative Madi - son Aveniuecamaata "scare", motarists into s a f e driving throughi bilîboards that depict lurid highway crashe,- and by such grim roadside reminders as,. simyulated tombstanes and dis- plays oft wreckecl cars. "If you want ta teach ifnyone how 'ta play golf, there's no bet- trway than watchiag saine pro like Samniy Snead teeý off and bit a perfect drive stralght lown th-- riiddlpe ai the fairway," argues Mr. Petersoýn. "Y a ul wouilt waste tinie t aklingi mujvies of soin. duifer slicing Off Inothe rough." TheQ Sari Francisco safety ex- pert contends that prof essionals4 -who have been driving for years without an accident aren't Just lucky. "'Very aiten," he says, te seem to ora te their trucks or buses instinctiveiy, and their niethocIs ai succes are flot osl t-ranriltted ta others in spite of the great amount af literature on the subjee.t." If saine Greyhound pilot, with a row oai safety imodals an bis jacket ca't explain what makes hlmi a safe, an-time driver, norý saie grizzled driver ai a m-on- strous bighway trailer rig wbo drives nighit anid day inla ah iacl af weather withaut even dentiing a number plate, Mr. Peterson says the next beý,st thing ta sit- ting behind the windshield wiftb hlým is ta shadow hlm fromn the air, The expert bas produiced a 12- minuite documentary film, corn- plete with calor and expasitary souad track, which gives view,ersq a bird,'s-eye idea ai an aid pro's effortless saiety rhythm tbroughi the evening city traffic rush ai-d the open interurban highw-a, writes Harlan Trott in thie Chri- tian Science Manitor. The Peterson saiety filmn is *nitiled "O--n Target," and ap- propriateiy enaugha, the "watch- me" drlver's rig bas a target paintecl on the roof so that the. aerial camneraý canl keep visual contact with hlmi as ho threads his way smoathly and unevent- fully through the stt'eani o! traffue. It's fun ta watch the aid smaothie an Mr. Petersoni's 12- minute wha-dlunit-right vîsual train.r The safety engineer's ruLnniîng interpolation introduces, a nw safety terminology.

So you See there areý always twvo sides to Cevery probllern, even iu Two sides ta a problem why CDo we always Say "tw>ýo sidoes?" In my expeýrieicco most pblishave four o r six sides, especiaily in fairily au airs, so- cial or oiýganiizat(Il.i activîties. Why? Because evo-ryone is s0 busy. 111 spite ai shorter work- iag haurs and a f ive-day wcek mort people have far leSs time ta take on exira work than they bad a few years ago. What is the reason-? Is it tlia.-t we get iïivolvcl with toa many vinter- ests, Promise mvore than we Cali manage, or is it the naturail stes av maeý,ra ie? It is bard to find the rigihit answer b-ut T amn sure la many instances tiat have cam-e tarniy attention the paries unolvclare heading for trouble unless they somehow maniage ta curtail their activities. This bas been brought home to me. quite iaro-ibly cluring the lest few days as T h ave taken over the sewing convenerslhip ai an sarali section af aur caninunity to vwork for aur local baospital. 1 was given enouglh sewinig ta caccammoda te ab o ut twve ntL'y workers - it ýwas mostly babies' gowns and trianigular bandage. 1 acce-pteýd the ovnesi qluite WillingIly with',It anticipat- ing any trouble.

A, few con- f essed ta littie kniowledge af sewing - al! they could do was ordinary mnezding and caraing. Or the chilclren had been siok off and on~ for weeks, and they were away bebînd with their owin w'ork, Or what withi churcb work, Guides, oýr Hame and' Sdbool acivities, they had al they could hanche. Some also 3poat an evening or two every wecbowling, switrmiag, play- ing bridge or going ta evoning classes ay! sine kind.

"My eyesight isn't taGo good but I think I can miLïaage six gowns?" Stili aoter1aways busy with churoh work,. offered ta do a dazen. A f ew agr-ecd ta hem bandages - "thait's niýe, easy worký." Buti as I have 46 gowns and six çlozen bandages that leaves me with a lot ai un- placo>d work. Ye>sterdaýy in des- peration I qat clown and macle six gowns mys.ebt ana expect ba do more, l'Il neyer h a v e the nerve toa had t1ie sewing- back uiniin'ishecl.
