CAMPBELL Publisher nt was in court, (a barn) when he age are Canada’s most dangerous drivers. i from Ontario for 1956 show that drivers under 24 comprise only 17.6 per cent of all drivers but are re- sponsible for 30.8 per cent of all accidents according to All Canada Insurance Federation. The Federation, which represents more than 200 Canadian fire, automobile and casualty insurance companies, is helping to reduce this accident margin through sponsorship of the annual Teenage Safe Driv- ing Road-e-o. But young drivers ,can also help by fol- lowing ‘these rules of safer driving which are recom- mended by the Federation. 1) If you are just learning to drive have an older person or a driving school give you instructions. 2) Study your local ond Provincial driving rules until you know them thoroughly. 3) Use a car as means of transportation, not for entertainment on the road. ‘ 4) Do not drive with an overcrowded car, 5) Keep both hands on the wheel. 6) Don't race at stoplights or on the highway. Excessive speed wastes gas, is hard on your cor and jeads to accidents. 7) Don't allow yourself to be talked into playing “chicken” or other suicidal highway games. 8) Abide by traffic laws at all times. Don’t break the law just because other drivers may do so. 9) Drive with care, courtesy and common sense. ‘SEEMS NOT TO MATTER A man who has never made a secret of his poli- tical leanings reports that, as the second voter in the poll, he felt impelled to lecture the deputy returning officer. The DRO appeared to be about seventy-five ond on prime ministerial precedent should not have been too old for his day-long job. In the first instance, the ballot was about to be pushed into the ballot box with the numbered counter- foil still attached, which in fact as well as in theory would have made it possible to trace the vote to the voter. When this omission was pointed out to the DRO, he proceeded to unfold the ballot so that he could more conveniently detach the counterfoil. He admit- ted that he had read the instructions and possibly for the rest of the voting day would heed them. The political parties desiring an honest election - return (and, of course, all political parties and al! candidates want honest elections)would do well through. the years to constantly educate the voter on the voting. And, evenmore important, to make sure that election officials, including scrutineers, know their jobs. = , Taking a casual, if indifferent, peek at a ballot may seem to be a small offence, but in all the demo- cratic countries no one should forget that there were tong years of political agitation before adequate ma- chinery was set up and stringent laws enacted to pre- serve genuine secrecy.

A, Resker, who is spending the summer with his sister in England, the Archdeacon tells of their trip to France and some of the interest- ing places they visited while in that country. The letter reads: I have just returned from a two week's trip by car to north- west France, Brittany and the Loire Valley, We landed at Diep- pe and started off on the long straight Normandy roads wita théir avenues cf young poplar and other trees—the big old ones must have been destroyed in the war, We went along the Invasion Coast, through what are now Rourishing sea-side resorts, We saw Caen, so badly smashed up after D-Day, with its new fine buildings and wide streets. The sears of war in this area are fast being healed by much new buil- ding and town planning. ‘The traffic on these French ronds is much less dense than that in England, but most French pecple if they can’t afford a car, seem to have a motor-scooter or bicycle. Some of these little motorized cycles are very noisy, but they travel quite fast on the ‘good paved roads. * We hed a lazy trip along the North Ccast of Brittany, very much.like Cornwall in England. We stayed two or three days at out-of-the-way places along the coast and found the small ‘hotels clean and cheap—one cost 1000 frances ($3) per room and three meals. Gas, however, was very ex- pensive, sbout $1.10 a gallon: Twe days after we left the 5 was cut by half for tourists! ! (In Feelond gas is nearly 70 cants a gallon), . We went as far as the great port of Brest, with much re- building going on, and then alonz the South coast of ‘Brittany to Nantes and then up the lovely Loire River Valley with its won- “Favored dezful Chateaux. We were able to attend a service at one cf the world’s most woaderful cathedrals at Char- tres, with its glorious stained glass windows, and also saw the wonderfully rebuilt cathedral at Rouen where we stayed at a new hotel, “Hotel de Canada” which had been built on the war ruins of the old city. Our impression of France was one of new life and activity. Liv- ing and sanitary conditions seem to have vastly improved in the past seven. years. The cost of liv- ing seemed a little lower than that of Western Cannda, We had a very leisurely trip 1,500 miles in two weeks and found everyone most kind and helpful to two tourists who only knew enough French, to obtain bonrd and ftodging. Mr. Resker concludes his ac- count of the holiday with the observation, “The weather was very hot most of the time”, and a foot note tells of his meeting Bishcp Beattie when he was passing through to the troops in Germany, and of driving the Bishop part of the way to Can- terbury.
