LEVEL CROSSING ACCIDENTS .. s. 2i.'EAVY increase in level crossing accidents during 19'4T is' ish:own tin preliminary figures issued by the Board' of Ti'ansport CommisSioners at Ottawa. The. stark fgures are: No. of Accidents Killed Injured 1947' 442 160 637 1946',,', 352 120 487 ^ Befliiiid'the statistics lies a frightful picture of grief a!nd !agony, waste and destruction, as all those who have lost reratives or been unfortunate enough to witness these reTaitiv�}crrs'well know. ' • Tlie• molrting level crossing tol!f Is difficult to ex- plain. x•plaiin. Each year brings improvements in the guarding and marking' of crossings. The railways religiously observe the regulations governing their approach to the crossings by Mowing !their whistles and ringing their bells. Yet,- it is, a curious fact that a large number of the -accd'ents• occurred on crossings where vision was llnob- structed" and the train could be seen approaching from a long, distance. Was the 'driver racing the train, taking a chance on getting'over? Did he not know it is impossible to judge the speed of a train, or any other object, approaching frorxt such an angle? If you ever have the inclination to race a train to a Crossing, don't forget that it is confined 'to two rails- a'nd' can't swerve to avoid you. And don't forget that • its speed; weight and momentum eliminate the possibility of''its'stopping to protect you. .. Another large proportion of level crossing .accidents oice'urred when automobiles ran into trains. In one case, it was- the 40th car of an 80 -car train that was hit. It's Bard' to- believe 'that this can happen, but statistics Show 'tIliatabout 24 per cent of the crossing accidents come about way:. • • , ! +.:r 4,,vzi If. ()gristle's frightful crossing toll is to be reduced. the .automobile drivers of the nation should take greater heed of the railway's ehortation: "St'op, Look and Listen", 0 0 0 EDITORIAI,, COMMENT Thought for Today — The high cost of urban loaf- ing has-liecnm.e the high cost of living. 0 0 A ' It' .i's- apparent that residential rent controls will continue' for some time to come, but commercial rent re-- strietlons- will .expire at the end of March, according to a. statement in the House of Commons by,Finanee Minister' Abbott'.
