Need For Leadership

With our highway fatality figures going up alarmingly in this province, we can appreciate the, force of the ‘arguments advanced at a safety con- ference this week by Hon. Hees for making an early start on a nation-wide program of accident pre- vention. Addressing the Industrial

Accident Prevention Associations at ~ their 1966 Safety Conference at Tor-

onto, Mr: Hees dealt: particularly with what he termed “our biggest safe- ty problem,” namely the death toll on our streets: and highways, and he made some: arresting ead on the “subject:

The condition subsides gradually “iff twoto four weeks although mild. resi-' dual vertigo may remain. for several months thereafter:
