ONTARIO A Message from the Premier I Probably no single development in the history of our province has had more widespread influence upon the lives and habits of our citizens than the automobile. Ontario was one of the first provinces to recognize the importance of this modern means of transportation, and first, also to adopt a progres­ sive policy of road building and road maintenance. Today, of. Ontario’s 72,000 miles of roads, more than 38,000 miles are improved gravel, 7,000 miles are paved, and7 69 per cent of all roads are surfaced. These roads are not only a remarkable convenience, but, as well, they are a responsibility* The seriousness of the responsibility is evidenced by the fact that in Ontario last year, 524 persons lost their lives through automobile accidents. All available statistics would seem to indicate that most of these accidents were avoidable—and were caused by either thoughtlessness or wilful violations of the common-sense rules of the road. The Ontario Department of Highways is about to publish in the press of Ontario, a series of educational advertisements, in which an effort will be made to keep drivers and pedestrians alike, alive to the necessity for the continuous exercise of care, courtesy and common-sense’ in the use of our highways. Suggestions made in these announcements will be, in effect, a digest of all the information gathered from every section of the world which has been found to be of assistance to drivers and pedestrians in avoiding highway accidents and making these same high­ ways of inestimably greater value and benefit to every citizen. • The first of the announcements referred to will be published at an early date. Your attention is invited thereto, and your co-operation in Snaking our streets and highways safe is earnestly solicited. Do You- Know-— “While the financial responsibil­ ity law with its accident'reporting provision only has been in effect since September 1, 19 3 0, yon may be surprised to know that already 1,031 persons have brought themselves undei' its provisions and have had their licenses to drive and permits for their vehicles suspended. Of these 855 have apparently exper­ ienced difficulty in Securing insur­ ance or the necessary bond or secur­ ities to relieve the suspension and they are still off the road.” Then why take the chance when’ you can be protected for $15.00 for 12 long months by one of our com- panies. We make all small adjustments at our own office. We specialize in truck Insurance. B.
