This photo, taken from HEALTH TIPS TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS If the word epidemic is taken to mean "a wide -spread dis- order seriously affecting the lives and well-being of many thousands of people", it is cor- rectly applied to the increasing number of traffic injuries and fatalities, the Canadian. Medical Association says. In five years non-fatal traffic casualties have increased 56 per cent and fatal casualties 35 per cent. If these figures were re- lated to diphtheria or smallpox the situation would be consid- ered a national emergency. There are many causes of traffic accidents: careless driv- ing, often combined with alco- holic impairment; disregard of the rules of the road; failure .to maintain one's car in proper operating condition; failure to make use of approved safety devices such as safety belts and head rests, and many others. The CMA asserts that if every driver could be persuaded to criticize his own driving per- formance under these categor- ies and then take the necessary corrective action, a reduction in the number of serious traffic accidents almost c e r t a i n 1 y would result. Indifference, immaturity and lack of sense of personal re- sponsibility, are invariably dem- onstrated by those individuals who drink to the point of im- pairment, then take to the high- 4 Rom& SALAD -32 OZ.

I think they will and the legal date will be the week of September 11th. Some months ago, July ist was the date announced as the start of experimental colour - casting after sign -off and before sign -on. For those who had col- our sets last Tuesday and re- mained up until the midnight hour, the colour experiments were interesting to watch. CFTO-TV in Toronto produc- ed a short 'live' formal opening and then ran four full-length motion pictures with a break in the middle for the news, weather and sports 'live' i n colour. The movies finished around 8 .a.m., in time for reg- ular daytime black and white progamming. Hamilton's Channel 11 had a "colour burst" at midnight as station manager, Al Bruner. de- scribed it. One movie was shown, along with other colour tests. Kitchener's CKCO—TV had a brief colour announcement and demonstration at midnight. Channel 10 in London had most of its equipment. hut wasn't checked out in time for the July lst experiment. Remember that date - the week of September llth. I pre- dicted the date of the last fed- eral election two weeks before Prime Minister Pearson ann- ounced it. I haven't got a hot line to his office, it was just luck and I hope I'm right this time too. It will be good for the broad- casting industry.
