Arch Bryce, Council ex- ecutive director. in a year-end statement, .said, "The motor car served Canadians well in 1964. More than seven million licensed delvers could so testiry. of those, 6,000,000 drove with credit to themselves and with consider- ation for ethers.' Mr. Bryce believes the price paid on our roads and streets was high, much higher than necessary. "As we enter 1965 we can be sure that greater use than ever will be made of the motor vehicle. More than 300,000 new teen-age drivers will seek licens- ees and mingle with the stream. of seasoned drivers. Senior drivers past 6.5 years of age, pen- sioned and with leisure, will re- main on our roads in increasing numbers." Mr. Bryce termed death and injury in road traffic "a tragic waste". Ile indicated nation- wide plans to slash Canada's road toll. In co-operation with provincial and local safety organizations, CHCS intends to take drastic steps to stem the steady, appar- ently inevitable sapping of the life blood of the nation, he reported. "'The objective is to reduce the rising death toll by 600 lives, not only to hold the accident rate at its present frightening level, but to reduce it." nl iclent handling of the problem, like any other practical business, industrial or socias problem, depended on education — the young, the old, the pedest- rian; enforcement - - control and direction of the driver and pedest- rian; engineering - - safer vehi- cles, safer roads, satisfactory, signing and signalling. Mr. Bryce said, "Indus'try has proven that great factories can Complete millions of hours with- out a single lose -time accident Must society, with. the individual responsible for his own safety, prove less reasonable? Perhaps we don't really care, some Of us, whether we live or die. Perhaps we stilt think that ours is a charmed life. The accident will happen to someone oleo! "B, in 1965, we can strive to remain alive and to prevent harm coming to others because of our carelessness, the goal of the Council in saving lives will be assured." • FOR BALE Iv. 2 storey 13rick House, in vu loge of Brussels.
