The Goderich Signal-Star, 1982-05-19, Page 29P survey Huron -Bruce
The province -wide people
survey, staged by the
Ontario NDP for the month
of May, took off in Huron -
Bruce last week.
First results are showing
that the people of this riding
consider jobs, unem-
ployment, layoffs and high
interest rates as the moat
important.issues at hand.
From survey card results
and discussions with con-
evident that the residents of
Huron -Bruce see high in-
terest rates as the root of our
current economic problems.
Huron -Bruce NDP riding
president Tony McQuail,
reviewing first results,
points out: "It is obvious that
the people care about this
problem and, like the NDP
said, more than the. Tory
government in Queen's Park
or the Liberals in Ottawa are
willing to realize. High in-
, terest rate protests like the
one in Hanover have shown
that the people care. The
lack of response by both
levels of government is also
proof of the ignorance of the
pollticans in power for the
real concerns of the elec-
torate. When we talk to the
people, they are really in-
terested to find out what the
NDP would do."
People can indicate on the
survey card if they want
additional information on the
topic of their main concern.
This information will be

Motor vehicle
fatalities decrease
The number of motor vehi-
cle fatalities in 1981 was the
second lowest since 1964, On-
tario Minister • of
'Transportation. and Com-
munications James Snow
said recently.
In 1981,1,445 people died in
'highway -related accidents,
compared with 1,424 in .1964
and 1,508 in 1980. Pedestrian
fatalities declined 10.9 per
cent, from 266 to 237 in 1981.
And the number of injuries
also dropped slightly. to
100,321, down one per cent
from 1980, when 101,367 peo-
ple were treated or
hospitalized.
"While I'm pleased to note
these decreases," continued
Snow, "thestatistics statistics are still
sobering. They represent a
waste of human life which
must be considered unaccep-
table, especially in the case
of motorcycle accidents."
•
Last year, 107 motorcycle
drivers and passengers died
in accidents, up from 99 in
1980 while 5,189 were injured
as against 4,468 in 1980.
"With the popularity and
numbers of motorcycles in-
creasing every year, I'm
very concerned about this
trend," said Snow.. "My
ministry has always recom-
mended completion . of a
recognized motorcyele
driver -training . course for
.those purchasing these
Machines. And I'm still con-
vinced such training. can
contribute greatly to motor-
cycle safety.
"Part of the blame for
motorcycle accidents,
however, must rest with
drivers of other vehicles who
too often aren't as alert to
motorcyclists as they should
be. A motorcycle is much
smaller than a car or truck
and more difficult to see, so
special care must be taken
when sharing a road with
one.
"Thankfully, motor vehi-
cle fatalities declined," said
Snow,' "and preliminary
figures for this year indicate
it could be a promising
trend."
Through 1981, 657 drivers
and 393 passengers died in
accidents compared to 682
and 413, respectively, the
previous year. That's a drop
of almost 4.1 percent.
"We are approaching the
summer season, which is
traditionally our worst when
it comes to fatal motor vehi-
cle accidents," added Snow.
"And it certainly doesn't
have to be that way.
"With every driver's care
and co-operation, I know I
could report a major
decrease in accidents, not as
an • event worthy of special
note, but as a common oc-
currence, every month of
every year."
with difficulty, small
businesses move on the
verge of bankruptcy and
some farmers can't afford to
buy spring seed."
"We are out conducting
this survey, so people can
tell us what is important for
them. We're also telling the
small businessmen, farmers
and homeowners as well as
the unemployed that the
NDP can do something to
stop layoffs, foreclosurers
and bankruptcies and turn
the economy around," says
McQuail.
