A PLEA FOR MOTORING FREEMASONRY.
cars
Should a motoring novice bo stranded at the roadelda with a minor breakdown, how many will pass before 80130 generous-minded driver of on- porionco stops to offer hid"Assist- anco? asks a writer at Home. I foar mo it would bo'n goodly number.
Yot in the good old days of 15 or 20 years ago such a lttlo roadside difficulty would ensure the stoppage of the first driver who coneldered his monsuro of motor knowledge likely to provo usoful
Would it not be more pleasant if we could-ensure the return of a modicum of this Camaraderio of the Road? Surely it would oven though we recognise that the circumstances of to-day aro | quito different from those of early
motoring.
But the unpleasant fouling of the novice who is "en panno" and has no earthly knowledge of the reason for his difficulty. has not changed. He or she is in trouble. And it is highly probable that ho for sho) would appreciate the courteous ald of more ex- porjanced motor lore.
You see, it is ofton that tho tyro may soarch around for tho Bource of trouble-when to the Export Eye it is staring you in tho face.
And how often are'wo really in such a hurry that we canno spare five minutes to see whether we can help a follow motorist? There may be an odd occasion- but it is rare.
So we can ask ourselves whether this comparativo disap. pearance of Camaradoria is dúo to lack of courtesy and kindly foolings, or merely to the change of circumstances.
KINDLINESS ITS OWN REWARD. It is probablo that circums- tancos aro chiefly to blame. Roadside stoppages are no fow and motorists so many that it is! difficult to maintain the idea of ai Fellowship of Motorists, and to look on hundreds of thousands of other road users as a circle of kindred spirits.
But, personally, I keep to the old traditions of early motorists. In nearly 25 years a-car I have never passed a stranded motorist without slowing down and call- ing out, "Are you all right?".
And kindliness is its own re- ward. You may slow down ono time to find Princess Charining in troublo, and your courtesy bo comos a pleasure!
"Or you may do as a friend of mine did recently. Ho spont some three-quartors of an hour helping the chauffeur of a lordly car. Inside Was & fluancial magnato. He was duly grateful, and said at the end: Hore's my card. Iwould like you to have & momento of your kindness. If you have any loose money, invest it in the company I bave writton on the back."
My friend made the price of a Daw car in under three weeks. He is a firm bollover in the Camaraderio of tho Road. Bo am I.
