- When we go out with a bunch of teenagers, our folks usually say, “l ake it easy”; “Drive carefully”; “Don’t fool with the driver”; or give similar advice. All ol us as teenagers have heard similar remarks at one time or other, lint we think we know more than our parents that nothing can happen to us. Well, we are right some times; nothing does happen to us. Hut we are the lucky ones. Some day we may not be so lucky. Leatrice Farnum The driver should take safety into consideration before he does any hot rodding. Drivers should think of the people with them as well as other people on the highway. Wallace Hussey There are a lot of rules for us to follow, but here are a few suggestions to think about now, not after something has happened: S—Serve others as you would want to be served. A -Always pay attention to your driving. F—Follow all traffic rules. E—Examine or have regular check-ups on your car. T—Try to train others who are careless. Y Yell at yourself when you catch yourself doing something wrong or something careless. Gerry Cushman I he trouble with driving today is that there are so many cars on the road, and crazy and careless nuts holding the wheels. Seventy-five per cent of the American citizens today own cars or have licenses to operate an automobile. A large per cent of those drivers are between the ages of fifteen and twenty-five. More accidents are caused by drivers of that age group. Eddie Henderson Drive by the Golden Rule of the Highway, drive safely.” Drive as you would have others Herb Hatfield Yes, today we live in a fast and busy world. But what is going to happen to our teenage drivers? Are they still going on saying, This will never happen to me”, and drive just as fast? Or are they and we going .to do something about it? Kaye Ring I HE VALUE OF PESSIMISM Some people look upon pessimists as persons who worry all the time about little things. But I would disagree with such people. Of course predicting some terrible thing and worrying about it can lead to serious trouble, but to a certain extent there’s a value in pessimism. For instance if you owe monthly payments and you lose your job before the payments are due, it's better to be a little pessimistic, and look ahead and try to find a job, than to sit back and say, “Well, it will all come out in the wash.” The same thing applies to studies, as well as to much larger things. What il our government didn’t keep its eyes open to foreign situations, and perhaps worry about them a little? I'm afraid the U. S. wouldn’t come out on top if it took the optimistic trend that many individuals have. So I say it pays to be a little pessimistic. Remember that if you’re watching and worrying a little, you can block the punches; but if you’re too optimistic, you may get a foul blow when you’re not looking. Kent Martin (i
