FLASHING: RED LAMPS ON SCHOOL BUSES When you see these lamps flashing on oA, school buses, there is an obligation upon you, the motorist, to stop your vehicle and not +o proceed until! the lamps cease flash- ing. The obligation is the same whether you approuch the schoo] bus from the rear or from the front of the bus. The Police Departments throughout the Province are closely watching to be sure that this law receives full adherence from motorists. The law is designed to protect children who are getting inte or disembark- ing from schoof buses and, in some in- stances, to permit the children to cross the road whilst. the school bus remains stop- ped. Last school term there were several unfortunate incidents as a result of motor- ists’ failure to abide by this law. It is hoped that compliance will be at a higher level this year so that there will be no repeti- tion. feet.

Letting. air out increases the chance for skidding and increases stopping distances. 3. Dazzle from approaching head- lights: is one of the factors that makes night driving FOUR times more dangerous than driving in daylight. Smears inside the windshield and dirt outside accentuate the flare from oncoming headlights. Good driv- ers moke sure their windshields are spotless far night driving and they keep defrosters in good working condition, . FALL DAYS WISE and By MERV UNGER Reading other people's mail is often much more interesting than reading one’s own. In our three years with the Saskatchewan Government Tour- ist Branch we read a lot of let- ters from prospective tourists, and some of the questions which come up make for very interest. ing discussion during coffee breaks, The tourist branch sec- retaries, Flo and Irene can vouch for that. Fred Light of Battleford came up with something interesting the other day, The following are actual excerpts from letters re- ceived by the Oklahoma welfare office, There’s a chuckle or two here.
