July Accident Record
espite Bleavy Traffic
Hopeful Signs the Ontario is making progress in traf-
fic accident prevention are 'Seen by the Hon. George H.
Doucett, Minister Jf, Highways, who has' announced that in
the face of the heaviest traffic in the Province's history,
deatts from motor accidents were 22 fewer in July •this year
than in July. of last year* And 59 fewer .than in July •of 10
years ago, when the volume of traf-. ,
Those white lines on Ontario highways .are not put
there by the man who marks out tennis courts. They're
applied by a special truck that averages, as it works, 8 to 10
miles an hour; and carries a grew of three. The Ontario
Department of irghvays has, in fact, five of these trucks,
representing many tihousands of dollars of valuable equip-
ment. They are an Important fact-4s
or in keeping our highways safe.
So far this year, some 1,500 miles
of black highway have been "white-
lined," involving the use of about
11,000 gallons of paint, It is ex-
pected that 2,400 miles of Ontario
highways will be so marked this
year, according to a highways de-
partment engineer.
• Laying those White lines, with
which so many motorists are fam-
iliar,' requires the skill and perspir-
ation of a sizable crew..
The "Eager Beaver" driver can't take his foot oft the accelerator. Seconds only are
required to clear the road of the car on the right. Car on the left swinging wide in a
restricted area is a real hazard with a blind hill coming np.
Highways Minister
AtzU. Operator Bruce Duro is read.; to pull trigger of spray gun that paints white . markings on Ontario highways.
Ills helper, Prank Brewster, is prepared to drop line of red flags warning motorists to keep off the fresh paint.
Pointer in front of truck enables driver Ralph Lee to keep operator's gun in the exact centre of road. On-
tario Department of Highways operates live of these trucks and so far this year has "white-lined" about
1,500 miles of black highway.
DON'T DO IT:
Solid white lines on your side must NOT be crossed! Here are all the elements of a
fatal accident—a curve, a solid white line, an impatient driver, an approaching ear.
Before the line-niarking equip
ment• is brought into play, engin-
eers precede it and mark with sym.
bats just where the lines and bars are to be placed, There is no mar-
gin for error; symbols placed in
the exact centre of the road indi-
cate where and what type of mark-
ing is required. .
Also preceding the marking mar
chine is a supply truck with a crew
of two that carries an adequate
supply of little red flags mounted
. on wooden blooka. These flags are
dropped along the fresh markings
by a helper in a trailer attached to
themarking truck, warning motor-
ists to keep clear of the wet paint.
The supply truck precedes the
marking machine by a few miles
and leaves stock piles of the red
flags by the side of the road. Later,
It retrievesthe flags titter the paint
is dry.
To show up the white markings at night, glass bead paint is applied on

Warning that July's improvement
in the traffic death rate could be
quickly reversed, Mr. boucett de-
clared: "There is . certainly .no
ground for •complacency 'or for let-
ting up on our safety efforts
throlighout the Province because of
fewer fatal accidents in any single
month. Our motor vehicle traffic
is still increasing rapidly and our
worst period of the year for fatal
accidents is still ahead. In fact, .1:
am even hesitant about releasing
this encouraging news about the
July drop in fatalities when right
how the worst Week.end for sect.
dents, the Labor Day Week-end, is
just ahead of us.
"In the July, traffic toll figures,
one of the results which will gladden
the hearts of everybody IS the
provement in fatalities among
school age children. The prelion-,
nary figures, gathered .by the occi-
dent recording divisiOn of , the
Department of Highways, show live
children killed in the five to '14
Year Age group, m et:tapered with
14 death* DI July of last year. That
1
saving of nine children's lives in a
single month is an indication that
we can,reduce the tragedy of traffic
losses by a united and continuous
effort.
"Thankv are certainly,due to our
school teachers, the Department of
Education, the newspapers, radio
stations, and other groups includ.
big drivers, who:contributed to
this victory. In June, before the
school holidays, the Department of
Edtication and my own department
teamed up on a special child safety
drive. A 'four-page bulletin Was
sent to 25,000 school teachers asking
them to Close their classes with. a

papers throughout the Provinde, and
all the radio stations gave us mar,

Vellones itipioport."
tario's traffic seat, problem is not,
in Mr. boucettli opinion, rectified
by enough peOple. "Ontario now hits,
over :licensed dtiveit, and
our Matra, vehicle registration is
running 10 per tent over list yeet.!!
he Pointed out.. "Added to the
'noon 74000 °Merle vehicles, we
have in the summer months a, huge
influx of U.S. cars, amounting, to
more than our entire registration,
and creating on our what
is probably the world's largest non-
resident motor vehicle traffic. To
*keep the. accidents dOwn in the face
of the great increase in accident-
making conditions requires a con•
tiniml effort on the part of all of
us."
Mr. Doucett explained that in the
Spring of 1946, in anticipation .of tit
large increase in traffic, a detailed
study of the Province'S traffic safety
problems was made. Arising .from
this research work, a planned pro-
gram of public education. on safety
was put in oPeration. In the Spring
of this year, as a corrective to, the
still "greater increase in traffic; im-
portant 'amendments were Made to
the Ontarib Highway , Traffic Act,
and this new legislation was timed
to come into effect on July 1 when
the summer traffic was mounting
rapidly. ,
"The impact ot this no W legisla-
tion on the motoring public and ,the•
very fine support which the new
safety laws and the whole cause of
traffic safety is receiving from the
Ontario newspapers and radio sta-
tions hat probably contributed to
our lower fatality results in July,"
Mr. Daacett states. "Improvement
in a tingle month, howevert noth.
ing more than a hopeful sign. It is
no :proof, that we =have yet reversed
the uptrend of- traffic casualties. I
