Some time ago a well known mining
engineer who is employed by the pro
vinclal government, was travelling on
the Cariboo highway. He is a careful
driver and: when he was on 4 narrow
bit of the road he saw another car ‘ap
pronching at a pretty fair clip. The
careful engineer slowed up and finally
stopped, The other car came on, but
in due eourse realized that there was
no chance to pass. AL brakes were
applied, but not soon enough. The
fast car collided headon with the en
gineer’s car, Both drivers get out to
see what had happened. They looked
nt one another and grinned, Aa al
