Wake up in the morning with a smile, they claim, and the chances of reaching the office with our car or physique in an equally agreeable condition are very much improved. But attitude is an elusive quality. There is no H'ay of guaranteeing that the necessary smile will lie at one's command when the alarm goes off. Even if the world is particularly bright on a certain morning, the car driver or pedestrian in question has often reached the office before he is sufficiently awake to realize it. . The experts concede the point and therefore go on to add that the most effective 'safety measure is education. The theory is that if the public is made He shows with crystal clarity Lhat the Social Credit school tax formula would mean $30 per year extra taxes for the average Vancouver home owner.

The Canadian Automobile Chamber of Commerce puts it this way: ' "Safety is a painstaking proposition of instilling in people the truth of the old maxim that 'an ounce of prevention is worth a p'ound of cure.'

It is a good suggestion and, for their own well-bingf, pedestrians and cyclists should be equally conscientious about taking precautions.
