Page IS THE KEN COLL 19 S 4 ESSAYS DRIVERS INCORPORATED Most of us have learned to drive cars, are doing so, or plan to in the near future. We learn the mechanical movements of stopping and starting. But is that all there is to driving? Do we pay attention to such legal things as speed limits, or stop signs? Are we courteous to the other drivers, and pedestrians? As drivers, we ought to consider our position carefully. Consider for a moment the discourteous driver. Let’s call him Harry the Hog. All of us know his type, and maybe we are like him. Harry is the kind of man who, during office hours, is the most considerate man we know, but let him get behind the wheel of a car, and his personality changes instantly. He becomes the king of the road; it is his, and his alone. Unknown to him, he becomes the roaring, speeding, reckless man who drives for himself, and does not care for the rights of others. But on the other side of this driving picture, is the friendly fellow—Courteous Carl. He is the one who drives according to conditions and laws, and common sense. He ' does not lean on the horn because the man ahead does not start the second the light turns green. He signals before he turns a corner, and waits for pedestrians, if there are any, to cross before he does so. When he is out on the highway, he doesn’t drive on the middle of the road or dodge in and out of traffic. He drives safely, and sanely. He is the kind of man who knows, and obeys, the rules of the road. Driving is a hobby for some people, a living for some, and just transportation for others. In spite of its uses, however, driving is an art, and should be utilized by all who use the automobile. If we do, and apply our good manners to our driving, we should be the best, safest, and most courteous drivers in the world. 1st Prize —HARRY WALTER, 12B WINTER FANTASY Just as a cruel master beats his defenceless slaves, the cold wind viciously ripped through the gaunt limbs of the bare trees which loomed fear¬ lessly against the sullen sky. The dirty gray water of the lake was being lashed furiously by the savage. The snarling surf resounded thunderously as it pounded against the barren beach. A tiny, gray rabbit scurried across the bleak earth like a fugitive and disappeared over a hill. A dilapidated shed swayed perilously with every gust of the fierce wind. This bleak, desolate picture was com¬ pleted by a narrow ashen pathway which added to its dull harshness. Partly visible over another hill, a small cottage dotted the gloomy landscape with a bright blue roof. Smoke curled upward serenely as though the chimney was protected from the wind. As I looked from one dreary place to another, loneliness weighed in me. My thoughts were jumbled. Never before had I felt such melancholy. Slowly I retraced my steps. To-day I stand once more at the same place where I witnessed that depressing scene. To-day I marvel not at desolation but at beauty. Awe has captured me. I am in a fairy wonderland. Snow¬ flakes, like gleaming diamonds, gently fall on a delicate blanket of fluffy white. Each minute crystal glistens proudly as it decorates earth’s ma¬ jestic cloak. I am almost afraid to look at the trees, for I am certain the magic beauty of the falling snow cannot be excelled. Dubiously I look, to see another fairy¬ land. The trees look lordly in their new white capes. The branches are weighted down with glit- enng elegance. Over-night a lacy fairy-land has taken the place of the desolation. The broken-down shed seems almost upright, for it has not been forgotten. It too, is arrayed in gorgeous garb. My little rabbit friend sits on the top of the hill gazing at the new-fallen wonder. I have to smile, because I see that the change has reached him also. He has a new white coat of fur. Peace and quiet prevail as the smoke from the snow-covered cottage slowly spiral towards the heaven. As I stand and look at my winter wonderland, I feel very insignificant. Now, and only now, have I realized what had mystified me the day before. This is nature’s way to show man how unimportant he ready is. 2nd Prize —MARY RAPAWY, 12B THE CITIES BY THE RIVER How time does fly! It is hard to believe that about two hundred years have passed since a few stalwart pioneers led by Cadillac, first settled on the banks of the very little travelled Detroit River. What adventures they must have had and what hardships too! Riding in their bark canoes along the swiftly flowing river, they could not possibly have dreamed that two magnificent industrial cities would grow upon its banks in the years to come. But before this transformation of the land ccfuld take place, the forests had to be tamed and the many difficulties between two neighbouring coun¬ tries had to be ironed out. The settling of the latter involved a few wars, but since then a strong bond of friendship has been built up between the two nations. Detroit, the big brother, is twice as old and many times larger than Windsor, but this does not interfere with the friendliness and co¬ operation between them. When Detroit celebrated its two hundred and fiftieth anniversary, Windsor was on hand to take part in the activities. This year when Windsor celebrates its centennial, the city across the river will add extra features to the programme. Other actions of friendliness which will be enacted in the years to come can be left to the imagination, but one can be certain that every year will show a greater bond of common ideals and friendship between the border cities. 3rd Prize —SUSAN ROSS, 11A
