Buckle up
Tokio a .drive some day with ono intention --to so* : who's Wearingr
seatbelts. The results ar. frightening. It's something. that some p.o
plo do all the thins, ,So do the •polic.. Results, however, differ deposit -
cling who you talk to;
In District b of Om OPP, it is estimateil that 62 per tint of drivers
and passong.rs bucki. up. 'That is' tow compar.d tothat provincial. •
averag of 70,3 per *ant.
But, for anyone who's couting, It Would app.ar the District 6
average, particularly Brut. County,,, is much lower. In fact, It would
be pushing it to say'50 per cent of drivers and passengers wear,
seatbolts.
It's not. easy 'to try and understand 'why most popple tofu** -to
wear seatbelts. Accidents 'In Bruce County .in theo post year prove
that some people may have survived their crashes hod they boon
buckled up.. Bruno County had a' total of 14 fatal accidents with" 17
people kill.d. Of that number 11 clod because they wool, thrown
from their vehicles. • • .
In Walkerton, the OPP. had 'sight fatal •occidonts that saw 1.1 pans -
plc, di.. four of those were .olther :completely : or: .partially thrown
from their vehicles.
The ejection rate for District 6 in fatal accidents ;is almost 40 per.
cent as compared to the provincial average of 35 .per cent.
Despite the warnings, despite the hard; sad facts, most p.opl.
don't wear seotbelts. It's about time we all did --for hsaith, hap-
piness and most of all, life.
March is seatbelt awareness month. Cars will be stopped in
seatbelt checks. Anyone not wearing a• bolt will be fined *53. Hors's

Not so now. While the younger sexes
may still enjoy this unbridled manner of
finding a mate, a recent article I read in --
formed me that a good number of the
more mature or established adults in
Canada, U.S. and Europe are not simply
responding to mutual attraction to base a
relationship on. By mature I mean the
older ones in the 24 - 50 age range and
established refers to those who have suc-
cessful businesses or amassed Barge
fortunes.
