If you are already a homeowner you can count on the Homeowner's Grant. If you are not already a homeowner, you can now start thinking about the Homeowner's Incentive Plan.

Motorists can throw their hats"in the air and jump for joy as Northern 8.C. highways suddenly become first priority projects. Lo

The big bingo game offers all kinds of new bridges, so many in fact that the Socreds would seem to have only one more river to cross——and that's the river of Jordan,

And this. week the announcement we've all been waiting for—they're octu- ally going to finish Highway 16. The final 31 miles of road is being put out to tender. Premier W. A. C, Bennett promised this ane several weeks ago when the bridge across the Bulkley at Smithers gave up

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.

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!

HALF.A MILLION DOLLARS worth of aircraft paid a brief visit to Terrace airport Tues-
