TO KEEP MAY 24th WEEK-END
FREE OF ACCIDENTS
Holiday week-ends bring unusual traffic hazards to
Ontario. More drivers and pedestrians use the streets
and highways. More miles are travelled. More time is
spent out of doors, and thousands of children are re
leased from school. All these factors swell the normal
traffic volume and increase the danger of accidents;
I earnestly urge all citizens, and all leaders in com
munity and municipal life, to encourage widespread
awareness of the need for safer driving and safer
walking.
The traffic accident record can be kept down—if
each of us does his part.
The Department of Highways is conducting a planned
attack on accidents. Let us all work together to keep
the approaching holiday period free of accidents.
