Do you want your highway patrolmen to be a bunch of weak-kneed, jelly-spined apolo- gists who smile at a speeder know- ing that sooner or later he will cause an accident. Suppose we allowed everybody else to drive the way you were driving when the patrolman stopp- ed you. It wouldn’t be long until you and one of those others met— met head on. And that would be that. Look in the truck cab at the roasted body of a driver who over- turned while trying to let a hurry- boy pass without crashing into the oncoming automobile. Smell his hair burning, experience that nausea that comes from smelling burned flesh, and then tell me to let a reckless driver off easy. You do, and tell her that her man has been killed because a light-hearted bunch of fun seekers were in a hurry. Look the truck driver’s kids in the eye and try to explain why their dad won’t be home. You tell 'em Buster. I’m too mad and too busy! Organizing District Safety Director, John T. Atkinson left Van- couver recently for an extend- ed tour of operations in the Queen Charlotte Islands.
