SCHOOL IS STARTING, SO —

Watch those children!

Youngsters go back to school this
month and that occasion, says R..J.
Hastings, president of the B.C.

Automobile Association,

portant clue to motorists. They, too,
are probably ready for a do-it-yourself
refresher course that might be labelled:
“child-centered defensive driving.”

Hastings points out that each
summer it’s easy for motorists to be
lulled into relative laxness in this area
as children vanish from school zones

and school buses leave
lanes.

Now drivers must again be on
guard for thousands of youngsters on
their way to and from the nation's
classrooms, especially those tots who
are on their own for the first time.

Above all, drivers should keep in
mind that many children know next to
nothing about pedestrian safety rules.
And even those who do hardly will
remember them when in pursuit of a
rolling ball or a runaway pet.

Hastings advises motorists to
make note of these additional factors:

@ When in a school zone, watch
for reduced speed limit signs that. are
installed in many communities when
the summer months end.

e Remember the law about
stopping when you see a halted school
bus and at the same time, keep in mind
that this rule may condition children to
dart in front of a public bus.

@ Beon thelookout for youngsters
riding bicycles that may appear
suddenly from a blind spot near your
car.

e If you are a parent, help your
child by. mapping out his safest
walking route to school. If he takes a
school bus, let him walk to the stop —
traffic hazards near schools increase
when children are dropped off and
picked up by family cars.

‘“Children,’’ says Hastings, ‘are
our most precious pedestrians — let's
protect them!”

Age of ugly girl

They tell us this has been the
Age of Aquarius, But it's ‘really
been the Age of the Ugly Girl, Of
course there are a lol of lovely
ones-they stand out almost
incandescently, so fresh, so
natural, their hair shining, their
faces clean and unmade-up, Yet
they too are a trifle over-
exposed and inthis extreme,
minis.and long hair, xesembling,
nothing so much as a bevy of
lovely mermaids. —

Nonetheless, these attractive
ones only serve to emphasize
the generally unkempt,
unpressed, almost unwashed
look of the majority of girls who
stroll our streets. For them,
mini skirts and “‘hot pants’’ only
serve to emphasize their legs,
lean, kniock-kneed andscrawny,
or ugly fat. As girls, they seem

deliberately ta choose the styles
that ermphasize the bad points.

Where this passion for
ugliness will end,no one knows.
Are these supposedly ‘‘hip’’
youngsters governed by the
same herd instinct which
causes women to conform to
fashions which flatter no one.
Fashions for women for, the past,
three--years -have. resembled
something out of a horror
movie. Are the current styles
just a snide joke of the fashion
creators, a put-on, like the one
in the Tale of the Emperor's
Clothes, which proved that most
people will agree on almost
anything in order not to differ
from majority opinion? Only a
childhad the good sense to say -—-
“but the emperor has nothing
on.” on .

Disastrous fire

As one of our most disastrous
fire seasons draws to a close,
the British Columbia Forest
Service is reviewing the reasons

_ why some fires spread so

rapidly and were so hard to
contain,

Says Depty Minister John
Stokes, “‘It was again apparent
that unburned logging slash was
responsible for the explosive
spread of many fires,

“In particular,” he said, “the
potentially dangerous fires such
as the SUE, near Golden, the
WEST near Quesnel, and the
MATE near Merritt, were all
difficult to hold because they
were burning in unburned
logging slash, .

“As long as we are logging
decadent old-growth stands,
there is going to be a residue of-
broken rotten material on the
ground, Our Close-Utilization:
policy will make it possible to
use some of this material but
the remainder must be disposed
of to reduce the fire hazard and

to make it possible to quickly
and efficiently reforest the
area,”

He continued, “There is an
understandable objection to
smoke caused by slash burns,
The Forest Service doesn’t like
burning slash and neither does
the industry, but at present
there is no other alternative. It
is much safer to have relatively
minor amounts of smoke in the
fall, to having dangerous and
expensive fires in the hot
summer.” Co

Experts in the field of air
