LABOUR DAY’S traditional emphasis on
the role of the working man is taking a
back seat to the role of the driver in the
holiday picture.

Labour Day, an observance dating back
to the early days of the labour movement
in the United States, and adopted in
Canada in 1894, was meant to be a day of
relaxation, speech, making and parades.
Of late, the Labour Day weekend has be-_
come the top road killer of Canada’s seven
major holidays.

J. S, Peden, president of the British
Columbia Safety Council, urges all motor-
ists and pedestrians to use extra caution
over the coming Labour Day weekend.

People cause accidents. More than
80% of all road crashes are directly at-
tributable to driver error.

Watch out for the other guy! He may
be harbouring any one of a dozen attitudes
most likely to produce conflict on the high-
way,
SELFISHNESS—*'The me first attitude,”’
SELF-IMPORTANCE—"‘I'm too big for
the rules,”

OVERCONFIDENCE — "I’m good. |}

Bingo is the game...

the ghost and the politicians in Victoria’

were suddenly made aware of the import-

ance of our only main highway. .
Recently the Socreds partially attribut-

ed a $43 million liquor profit fast year to

booze consumption “by ‘‘tourists."" No
doubt most of this tourist tippling was
done In Terrace after our summer visit-
ors had made it safely over one of the
worst sections of highway on the North-
ern route. After an experience like that,
‘it's understandable they'd. need a couple of
stiff belts to restore sanity.

Weill now—we wonder what nice little
goodie will be taken off the top shelf next
week, Will it be a new Terrace Bridge? Will
it be an equalization of school costs? Will
it be more highway police patrols? Will it
be a chronic care hospital? Will it be an-
other hike in the Municipal per capita
grant? Will it be bunny girls in our stodgy
bars?

Maybe they'll eliminate stumpage rates
or even do away with the 5% sales tax
entirely,

Just remember — whatever the prizes
offered, you, the taxpayer, still have to
pay to play the game!

Labour Day or Death Day? |

CHANCE TAKING—"Live dangerous-
ly. It can't happen to me.”

FATALIST—“Here today, gone tomor-
row,” .

HOSTILITY —- “Anger, aggression to-
wards other drivers.”

SUPERIORITY—"You can’t push me
around,"

COMPETITION — “Beat everybody. |
must be first.” .

SELF-DESTRUCTION-—— “The need to

injure oneself,”””

EXHIBITION—‘The showoff.”

PLEASURE IN DESTRUCTION.

_ TRANSFER OF GUILT—'‘Blame others

and ease your own feelings of guilt.”

Every motorist will recognise these
characteristics. But will he recognise these
traits in himself, Don't blame it on the car,
the road, the weather, the other driver.
The car cannot drive itself, the road is
there, even with its faults. The weather—
well, no one can do much about it, |

Being in the right isn’t enough. You
could be dead right!
