Mc- Highway Death Toll Higher in 1954 Preliminary figures for 1953 toll of highway traffic accidents indicate there were 1,050 fatalities, 25,000 injur ed, Highways Minister George H. Dou- cett states. By January 1, known deaths exceeded the 1952 1,010 resulting from crashes on streets and highways, and for the months of 1953, there was. cent increase in the number of deaths involving children between five and fourteen years. Mr. Doucett insisted the commence ment of the New Year called for "soberly reviewing past events and making plans for the future.” Every one is called on to give the matter most urgent attention throughout the year, with the Department of High ways pressing its programme of road development and improvement with extension of efforts toward safety. Increased fatalities to children he said emphasizes the need for greater supervision and stressing of safety training by parents and teachers. While there was a 10 per cent increase in vehicle registration, gasoline con sumption and tourist entries in 1953, the death toll might have been larger but for the help of newspapers, radio, police and other safety agencies, to gether with local safety council that came into operation. Energetic local safety groups who have intimate knowledge of the problems and con ditions in their own communities are an effective way of pressing safety.

Mrs. McMur ray' concluded her portion of the pro gram with the thought "Let us help to be teachers to ail the newcomers." The meeting closed with hymn 331 and repeating the Apostle’s Creed iri unison. The hostess assisted by^the The four-day open season on deer in the district of Lake Huron (the counties of Bruce, Grey, Huron, Qx- , ford, Perth, and Waterloo) was quite successful reports I. C. Marritt, dis trict forester. True, fewer deer were killed than many of us might have wished, and as a method of lessening complaints of property damage, or of adequately harvesting the deer Te- ■•source, the results were not spectacu lar,' but the season did show con clusively that the herd would not be; decimated, that there would be no frantic influx of non-resident hunters, and that little property damage would be done by hunters during such a season. * No figures for total kill of deer • are available, but the check of 1,239 hunters by officers for the depart ment provides a good basis for an alysis of the kill. These 1,239 hunt ers had killed 191 deer, for a success ratio of 15 percent. Tnis is a mini mal figure, since a. number of the unsuccessful hunters were checked during the early hours of the first: day of the season and they may later have been successful. This figure of 15 percent compares favourably with ~ the province-wide average of about 30 percent for deer hunting in nota- agricultural areas. As a basis for analysing the age class’' distribution of the herd, the ages of 170 deer were determined by the field staff. The information re ceived shows that the deer herd in the Lake Huron district is both healthy and prolific. Although there appear to be fewer 1% year-old deer of both sexes and 2% year-old bucks than would be expected in a thrifty, well-managed herd, this shortage is probably of no consequence. There is no reason why open sea sons similar to the one just closed, should not be established as regular, annual events. With a prospect of only about fifteen chances in one hundred of securing a deer in south ern Ontario there is small likelihood of large numbers of hunters passing upfcthe opportunity of hunting^in the better deer rahges of the north central parts of the province. At the present time, the opportun ity of securing a deer illegally as well as locally should act as a deterrent to some would-be poachers in South ern Ontario, and it should make land owners a little less resentful of crop losses due4to the activities of door. This year’s legal kill can hardly be expected to reduce appreciably the rate at which deer are being struck by automobiles in the district, but it should go a long way towards con vincing people in the rest of southern Ontario that the deer herd can and should stand a short open season each year.
