The death. toll on Ontario's
roads dropped in 1977 to the

people including 251 pedestrians,
died in motor vehicle related.

than the total of 1,511 in 1976.
The. 1977 total is the lowest since
1962.

munications Minister 'James
Snow said he shares the belief of
many police and safety officials

and lower speed limits arc having
"a noticeable effect on the death
statistics.".

Ontario has reformed its family laws.
We think you
and your family
should
know about
them.
The purpose of the new legislation is to
strengthen and encourage the role of
the family by bringing outmoded and
unfair laws into line with modern
family life. Among the subjects
covered are:
I Matrimonial property— the sharing
of family assets, including the family
home.
• Support— the mutual obligation of
spouses to support themselves and
their children,
• Domestic contracts — what they are
and how to make them.
• Abolition of the status of
illegitimacy—equal rights for all
children.
• Marriages—age of consent and civil
ceremonies.
• Succession tights— the rules fbr
making wills and rights of surviving
family' members.
The new laws substantially change the
rights and responsibilities of every
person in Ontario.
The e Ministry of the Attorney General
has prepared an easy-to-understand
pamphlet which summarizes the new
law. For your free copy, write to:
