Canada Preparés To
Deal, With Disaster

VI
The A.B.C. Of Modern War Weapons

Danger On Wheels ,

The mention of traffic hazards automatically brings to mind

Canada's for ‘defenc
on the home front ‘remind us
that the ABC. of modern “war
weapons is far from simple, Only
skilled’ at

out such safeguards, disease
would soon sweep our land and
all living things in it would
perish.

thoughts of hurtling i and 3 con
gested streets and precipitous mountain roads; narrow: bridges and
inebriated drivers, .

In this district, at least, thiere is another element of: traffic
safety that needs much corrective. attention and that is our large
number of dangerous young bicycle riders, ‘

We say they are dangerous, because so many of them are not

’ observing proper riding precautions, Perhaps.they feel a thrill in
the chances they take; maybe to them it's smart; or more likely,
they just aren't safety conscious and are. ignorant of the laws of
bicycling on the highway and in traffic,

They've been lucky-so far; none of them as far as we know has
been hurt or involved. in an ‘accident, but that’s not their fault
for through their bicycling mystemennors, they are flirting with
danger constantly.

One of their biggest faults is riding through hs streets and on|
on the highway at night without lights, They've been told this is
wrong. A: year ‘ago the head of the RCMP Detachment here issued
a warning to them and led for their and that of
their parents, in installing lights on their two wheeled conveyances
.88 soon as possible if they are to be used for night riding.

Then, too, many of our yotng cyclists seem to havea preference
for sidewalks, as their own exclusive highways, some of them re-
senting the fact that ° Pedestrians have the temerity to use them.
For their information, bicycles like cars have. no right to, the. use
of sidewalks, The roads. are always wide enough to accommodate
both ‘cars' and bicycles,

However, while riding on the streets and roads, bicyclists must
remember they too are to tfavel on the right side as‘ motorists
must, and not weave all over the road or steer down the’ ‘centre or
left side,

Another hazard presented by many of our bicyclists is their
tendency to ride four, or five abreast down the highway thus taking

‘up much more than their due share of the road, and slowing auto |*

traffic to a crawl.

It is to our cyclists? own advantage to observe these rules, By
not ‘observing them, they are endangering their own lives, not the
other fellow’s, Parents have a duty here of ensuring their cycling
youngsters are observing the rules of the road. It’s true that ex-
perience is a geod: teacher. But dangerous bicycle riders often don’t
live to profit from their lessons.

Vote’For Democracy

It is-unfortunate that the federal election, to be held ‘August 10,
comes during the. summer holiday season. The ‘election date. will
find’ many of us just returned from; preparing to leave for,-or in
the midst. of our annual vacations.

, though ii ‘h for some of us it may
be, the election date chosen was the most convenient for all. of
Canada if-a federal election were to be held this year Certainly, it
should not be cause for any large number of Beople staying away
trom the. polls.

Elections have been ‘held in the ‘past and ‘before every one of
them, we've urged that our readers not only cast: their ballot but
think before doing so. In order, to vote intelligently, the voter ‘shoul
have weighed in his own mind- the merits of what each party | and
candidate is offering him and make his decision accordingly,

But important thing of course, is ti vote, By marking his bal- |-
lot, the voter is striking another blow for denjiocratic principles.
He is upholding. the freedom for which some 100,000 of finest |-
young men, laid down. their lives..He is ensuring that the govérn-
ment elected is the will of the ‘majority,

Without elections, democracy would have" ‘no meaning. Without
as many voters exercising their rights as possible. at election time,
their is no democracy either since then it would be the beanie few
choosing a government for all of us. ba

We trust everyone of our readers will pay the. trivial price for
the democratic’ freedom -he. enjoys, by. first weighing | the, claims

of all the election campaign’ ‘and then marking his. ballot according :

to the ision his sf and sense“have. led -him ‘to. |

water colors or prints can give
