-GAMBLING V WITH LIVES

One of the biggest’ sirigle | causes of traffic: accidents, injury and
death: each. year, is speed. It’s: amazing, and, tragic’ how many ‘motor-
ists gamble with their lives and those of others, to save. afew ‘paltry
minutes. All| “too: often’ their ‘speed. is:a, ‘shortcut’ to’ the. hospitat or

é time they save:is of no: benefit ‘whatso-
ever. ‘because ‘they’ re taken ‘out of time, violently and ‘quickly.

“We have ‘our speed ‘artists here. in. Castlegar. They zoom. thrugh

equal number -of) swallows are
whooping it up in the. shallow
part of the pool, then up slan-
twise onto a branch, only.a few
feet away to dry.

I don’t suppose these’ small be-
ings are more than six weeks old
and yet they are chattering away
like a group of women at a com-
munity wash while doing a sort

‘Speed is a relative thing. Even 20 miles per hour can be too
fast if the car can’t stop in time. Traffic laws ‘say one must not
at any time travel ata speed ‘susceptible of endangering life or
property. The motorist is endangering both life and property when
driving so quickly that he can't control his car in an emergency.

Ponder this tor’ @ moment—at 30 mph you require 27 yards to
stop on dry concrete. Does this figure.seem. high? Then don't forget‘
that your mental and. muscular reaction, if normal, _ takes, three
quarters of a second to apply your brake, That three quarters of
a second accounts:for 14’of the 27 yards. Qn a dry, icy surface at
the same speed, you require about, 60 yards to stop. If the | ice is wet,
the. distance jumps toa the amazing figure of over 100 yards.

WITH EVERY ADDITIONAL 10 MPH-OVER 30, YOUR TOTAL
STOPPING DISTANCE INCREASES BY OVER 50 PERCENT. Fi

Thus, fifty, mph-may be fine on a straight two lane’ highway
but it’s extremely dangerous-in town. And even 20 miles: per hour
in town can be fatal if your tires won’t geri . You'as a “motorist must

FAVOR TO CREEPING THINGS |

One of our readers came forth aubing the past week, ‘with a
possible reason. why some people appear to be content with the
service they are getting from the Castlegar. Ferry, as: compared

* to a.toll bridge for which a petition is now: being, circulated.

_ The reader, a, district the ferry |
lovers ibly deem it to ‘replace our ferry since, he
said, there is ‘a passage in the Bible where God. showed favor to
“creeping and crawling things of the earth.

Another reason why some might feel a bridge, toll or otherwise,
is not justified here is that traffic carried by the Castlegar Ferry
is down from that carried last year, Some say that much. traffic
is now going through Salmio to Nelson, rather than through Cast-
legar and this accounts for the somewhat lighter’ traffic here.

This is not entirely true, Undotibtedly there are some motorists
who now find it shorter to go ‘throwdgh Salmo’ but these account ‘for
only a percentage of the. traffic. drop - here. Much of the heavier

_ traffic last year resuted.from the. daily. passage of many residents
of Brilliant, Pass Creek,. Robson, Thrums and Shoreacres, to and
from the Waneéta Power Project-where they were employed.‘

Now that the Waneta ‘Dam ‘is completed and these: many dis-
trict residents no.longer, shuttle back.and:forh to employment ee
a drop in ferry traffic is bound to be noted.

Taking this into consideration, there is little or no ‘aren in norm-
al traffic over the ferry. ‘There are still thousands of.cars each
month who are. delayed anywhere from five minutes to as much
as half an hour or more, waiting to'make the ferry | ‘crossings.

A toll bridge, which seems to be the only alternative: td a ferry; a

would eliminate this delay, more than offsetting’ the toll’ charge.

will continue to do so—a pattern
without change and without end,
