STATIC}! FACTORY REQUIRE- MENTS — The three starch fac- tories in the Province will use a- bout 200,000 bushels of potatoes this year for their starch output which is approximately the same quantity as was used last season. it was learned yesterday. It is understood the price being paid for starch potatoes is from 50 to 60 cents per 100 pounds with fairly large scahby potatoes command- ing the highest price because of their greater starch content. The factories are located at Hunter River. Murray Harbour, and East Baltic.

Sunday. October 17th. 1B4! LEEBON lll iienlor) ALCOHOL AND THE PUBLIC HIGHWAYS

A swerving car! Brakes screeching! Smash! Bang! Shouts! Silence! Police cols!

Ambulance sirens! Inquest!

Newspaper report that, “the driver had been drinking."

D0 Y0“ want to know the story back of the news? Here it is. “light” or Loose?

In a Previous Izssc-n we learned that alcohol interferes with the 5605011! and motor nerves so that the intoxicated person does not see well. does nut hear clearly and “mm” Derform acts requiring ton- trol of his muscles. You have heard the expression. “he is tight", mean- "18 that a man is in a rather ad- vllmd mac or intoxication. Like 5o mflriy of our expressions, this one is inaccurate. Actually an in. wxicolfld person is loose. He i; loose (talkative) in his conversation and loc-se in his moral behaviour. Alcohol Is a, Depresgune.

For years alcohol was regarded as a stimulant to the nervous system Observations of intoxicated pe sons Indicated a release of energy; they became noisy, boisterous and over- active. However, modern scientific study has rovouied the true nature of alcohol and its true nature is as an anaeshetic or depressant. Alco- h°l “KENS ll“! higher faculties of the brain first, gradually reaches the mas associated with muscular control. and finally reaches the areas associated with vital life pm- cesses such a breathing and heart, heat. The hIZhBr faculties are those associated ‘with self-criticism, Judgment. reasnn. when these inc. tors are removed from human behaviour individuals are frcg to ac; flcffllilriii to the direction o1 the baser motives. Many cf you have (it'll/Ell a high spirited horse. If you keep it. under close rain the horse will perform in a pleasing wax giving you a sense or ldmfgflgn for the animal. If you drop the reins the_hcrse will sense the incl‘ 0i willful and will run at increasing speeds endangering lives. Alcohol “takes off the brakes" on human conduct and gives full rein to lower "F8435 0f Colldlibt. The individual Who has had a “couple of beers" Bflllalli! believes he is a 'be:ter driver tor at least as good» as ravhen he is sober. The explanation is that his self-criticism has been put to sleep and he is unaware or uri- ashemed of inferior performance.

slllfle the beginning of World War II the consumption of alcohol in Canada has Increased-tremend- ously and is still increasing. All indications point to g great intreas: in the number of automobiles dur- ing the next ten years. These two features of Canadian life combing to present a real problem, namely the drinking driver, , _

Hlghvvay Safety

The people cf Canada are for- tunate in that they have so many thousands of miles c-f scenic high- ‘Wilys- Few areas in Canada are far removed from some beauty spots which can be reached in a few hours by automobile. Thousanfl of Canadians use the automobie for pleasure only. The autclrno-bie and the truck have become r-n integral part of the business life of our country. so that everywhere vle see

with the trade sign of their crwners. It is clear that the highways should be as safe as it. is possible to make them. To this end the Departments of Highways oi’ the various provin- ces spend millions of dollars an- nually surfacing roadways, elimin- ating curves. improving visibility and erecting safety signs. The engineers are improving the brakes. headlights, steering of the auto- mobile. Tire manufactures have spent great sums in research work in order to procluc¢ a tire which will not skid and is resistant to blow-outs. We can be sure that engineering research will be con- tinued and that every effort. will be made to ensure safety on the highways. The Drinking Driver But how about the hULTl-B-II factor? Ara drivers improving? To drive a cin- is a prlvlfege and a responsibil- ity. Tns drunken driver is not cap able of operating a motor car, and many serious accidents, involving serious icss of life, have been caused by drivers who were intcx- ieafisd. But we should always re- member that a driver does not have to be drunk to be a danger to himself and othors. Our problem is not. so much the drunk driver as it. is the drinking driver. Dr. Haven Emerson. in his book. Alcohol and Man says. “Investigators have found that as little alcohol as ls found in one cocktail or a pint of beer will slow down reaction time by 6 to 10% for several hours after the alcohol has been consimiezl." Thus there is a loss of at least 6"; Ln the accuracy. speed or skill in the use of the hands. in the reiiabfiity of seeing and hearing signals such es lights, or bells, after n rel-son has drunk even a very small amount of alcohol. one can QiSlly see that a "ffuv beers" mag. 1cm‘. in a loss oi '20 to 25$‘- in accuracy and speed.

foot from the lcceleratnr to the brake pedal. On thg very best dry road surface, and with perfect four-wheel brakes the ca: will travel another 11.1 feet before stopping. Thus an excellent driver under ideal conditions will need 156 feet (ill car lengths) to stop. A "few beers" increase this dis- tance to such an extent that it results in many accidents Qtherwige avoidable.

Not Dfiullr But Drinking

The tact that of 6,904 Suspensions of drivers‘ licenses during the lagt Year by the Ontario Department Q! Highways 1.09s were for drunken driving indicates the seriousness of this problem. Dr. Munroe. Ingiitute of Government. University cf North Carolina. in an article on The Blinking Drivers says. "It is not the driver who is in an advanced stage of inebrtatlon who is the traffic hazard. The great. majority o; drivers in a drunken condition go to sleep or get off the highways bulore an accident occurs. Nor is the drunken pedestrian a prime trouble. maker in the traffic stream. Rather the problem is caused by those wine have had cite-ugh to drink so as to lnnpalr their Judgment, bu“, not enough to affect their appearance "l-Ukfidlil. These are the persons Who will take chances which they normally would avoid and who fail to exhibit that discretion rwhich they otherwise would have demon. striated."

Alcohol In the Blood According to the American Medi- cal Associations Committee on street and highway accidents any driver whose blood shows a cont-en. lrflllfln 0f 0.15"; by weight, or more of alcohol should be considered by the courts as "under the influence
