Students Emergency Vehicles As a driver do you know what to do when approached by an emergency vehicle with red lights flashing or siren sounding? sounding? Surprisingly, when making an emergency run, police, fire, or ambulance drivers will nearly always come across a motorist who does not respond in the proper manner and fails to pull over. If you hear a police, fire, ambulance or public utility emergency vehicle siren, or see a flashing red light on the vehicle, get out of the way. Bring your vehicle to a stop as near as possible to the right hand side of the road and clear of any intersection. This law applies when the emergency vehicle approaches you from any direction. Constantly check your rearview rearview mirrors, watching for approaching vehicles. Being aware of what is taking place all around your vehicle makes for good defensive driving. Good response from drivers would go a long way to preventing preventing the kind of tragic accident accident we sometimes read about, involving emergency vehicles. The Town of Newcastle's Newcastle's roads are more congested than ever these days, and compliance with this "rule of the road" will make our job easier, and maybe maybe even save a life (by allowing allowing the emergency vehicle to arrive sooner and preventing an accident en route). Also, don't rely on hearing a siren. Some police cars are not equipped with sirens and the officer has to rely on good response to the red flashing light only. This applies when a driver is being pulled over for a , traffic offence, the policeman policeman hopes that a siren blast isn't necessary to get the driver stopped and subsequently subsequently disturb the whole neighbourhood. At the emergency scene obey the police officer. When traffic is directed by a police officer his directions must be obeyed by all drivers, regardless of any traffic signs or signals that may be present. So let's all work together to help make emergency vehicle response more efficient.

Miss Shelly Wright of Harmony Harmony United Church, Oshawa, will be the guest speaker at both gatherings to share her experience of last June with nine other Canadian women, completing a Korean- Canadian exchange program between the United Church of Canada and the Presbyterian Church in the Republic of Korea. As told in the United Church Observer (September 1985), Audrey Beck, one of the 10 United Church Women members who made the trip, says that although the Korean trip was a non-political exchange, there were sharp reminders of the right-wing military dictatorship which rules South Korea. "One day we were out, and it seemed like the whole city stopped... We found out that as part of martial law, on the 15th day of every month the government orders all activity halted at a certain time. Cars stop on the street. People get out of buses. It was strange, and it certainly certainly came as a shock to us."
