Last Chance to Avoid Child
Fatalities. Remains with Motorists
• Eight -Year -Old Girl Killed 'By
Truck! Child Killed Instantly in
:Front of Home! I{nocked from
Bike, Boy Dies in Hospital! Such
headlines appeared in Ontario pa-
pers more often last year than per
.before,
Official Ontario statistics show
that "132 children under 15 years
^01 age were killed in the Province
by traffic accidents in 1947. Ontario
had fewer traffic fatalities last year
than in 1941, but more of them
were children.
True, everyyear1 •
e are more
+oars on the her
ods and more child_
:ren to be hit by them, but we can't
afford to be discouraged in our ef-
forts to reduce childaccidents,
Safety experts point to the fact that
traffic deaths among school chil-
dren (aged 5-14) actually went
rlos'i. in the last quarter of 1947
compared with the same' months
of pr-vious year's.

Last June and

Who's Responsible?
Child. psychologists say there
are definite limits to the training
of children in avoidance of acci-
dent hazards, The best children,
they say, are the greatest hazards
because they concentrate on doing
well whatever happens to be their
immediate job whether it is a game
or a task. This keeps accident pos-
sibilities out of their minds; The
busier they are the less likely they
are to stop at a
curb or other
traffic dang e r
area, and they
cannot, until they
grow older, be ex-
pected to fee t
much sense of re-
s p o nsibility to -
other users of this
road such as mo-
torists. Children
are carefree rath-
er than careless.
But motorists,
are supposed to be responsible,
people of mature judgment.
They are supposed to know.
that they should be extra cautious:
and vigilant when driving anywhere,
near children; to assume that child-

If you accept the safety experts'

last of children themselves, you can
