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. t GEO. H. DOUCETT MINISTER k Hl s
