ind. What have the power! i-hit wdone to meet this problem?

The Ontario Minister of High- ways. Honorable George H. Dou- cett. has carried out a V1S0I0U! Highway safety programme. part of which was putting into the hands of every pupil in Ontario

ublic schools leaflets on Highway

afety to take home.

2. What advice did the Minister of Highways give?

"More than 800,000 vehicles are registered in Ontario. and 1.300.000 licensed drivers . . . The safety of persons using the road depends "W on 'the other fellow'. but on every one of us personally; we are each .responsible for the safe condition of our own car. and the safety of standards of our own driving. only I heightened and more widespread gangs of personal responsibility can keep our cars and our driving abili- ties in the condition required for safety.”

3. How numerous are the convic- tions for breaches of the Highway Traffic Act?

There were 75,000 breaches of the priminal 'Code "lraffic Provisions last year. an increase of 08 per cent Erom 1047.

4. How many of these were clue in the mechanically unsafe condi- tion of the vehicle driven?

Ten per cent of these convictions, or 7.500 of the 75.000 (seventy- ilve thousand) convictions were for driving a vehicle not in mechani- taliy safe condition.

5. How many were due to care- lessness or an accident on the part of drivers or pedestrians?

July fatalities included 3 pass angers 3) drivers. 10 pedestrians. of the pedestrians. seven were children under ten. and four were over 10 years of age. Thus as per cent were among the older and

ungar age groups-the more help- ass groups.

An analysis of Ontario's traffic toll shows this most tragic fact that more than twice as many children were killed as in September of 1040. Compared with ten child vic- tims. September ms. in 1940 the same month brought death to 21 children under in years oi age. Four of these were passengers in cars.

7. Are many of these highway ac- cidents due to drinking on the part of drivers or pedestrians?

Professor Joslyn Rogers. Ontar- io's official consultant on criminal cases. has set the standard of 45 per cent of the serious cases of traf- fic accidents that have come before him as being caused by intoxicating beverages. Thus of the 740 killed in motor accidents in Ontario in 1943. there were 333 drink caused, ac- cording to this estimate of averaga.

0. What is the record of highway fatalities for the first nine months of 1949?

A Canadian Press news item on October 8 tells this story; Ontario's death rate toll from highway acci- dents during the first nine months of this year is reported at 500 per- sons. an increase of 20 per cent over the same period of 1948. an indica- tive of -1940 establishing an all time high.

9. since in the words of Professor Joslyn Rogers we have Official re- cognition of drinking as a large factor in causing highway acci- dents. is not increased facility in securing liquor parallel with in- creased numbers of highway acci- dents?

It would seem so. The increase of licenses for the sale of liquor during the last five years is note- worthy. In 1944, there were 1,634 licenses. now there are 4.143 in 1,819 establishments. which means an increase of 280 licensed prem- ises since 1944. Since the Liquor

License Act of 1046 there have been” as

10. is public opinion indifferent to these facts? r

There are signs that the public mind is being aroused by these facts. as shown by local option contests.

The total populs vote registered in favor of additional liquor outlets was 35,200. Those opposing increas- ed sale outlets in their community

numbered 4i.434- a majority of over 8.000 votes.

11. What is the M1 duty of each christian as the Highway
