GUI President
Stresses Safety
Some firms are very conscious of
the importance of traffic safety,
but the Ontario Safety League
believes that far more could and
should be done by industry as a
whole to improve the driving
performance of salesmen and
others who drive company cars.
Mr. R. S. Withers, President of
General Motors of Canada, stresses
the importance of safety program-
mes in a recent address to the
National Association of Fleet
Administrators. He said: "May I
suggest you do as little missionary
work here and there within your
own organizations, It happens
sometimes that the people who
hire employees, check their cred-
entials in every way except tl}e
vital area of driving records."

licence to take fish with a dip net
for personal use, where this is
legal, ¢will cost $2.00. So, if a
fisherman wants to be fully licenc-
ed to do all those things that
fishermen are wont to do when
they are pursuing their favourite
sport, it will cost a total of $7.00.
By the way, wives do not need
fishing licences. This is impossi-
ble to understand as frequently
they catch most of the fish.
The Ontario Safety League is
not too concerned about how much
the residents of Ontario have to
pay for the privilege of fishing,
but they are keenly concerned
about whether or not they con-
duct their fishing in a safe and
sensible manner. From statistics
and actual incidents of drowning
last year during the early fishing
season, there was a high percentag
THURSDAY, APRIL 17, 1969
of fishermen who did not follow
this advice which resulted in as
many drownings during the cold
water months of spring as in some
of the prime boating months in
the summer.
The favourite method employed
by fishermen to get themselves
into trouble was standing up in
small car -top boats in open water„
A fisherman would do this to
change places with his fishing pal
of just to stretch his legs. What-
ever the reason, the results were
the same; cold water that soon
left its victim immobilized and
helpless, in many cases dead of
shock, not even drowned..
The Ontario Safety League hopes
every early season fishermen who
goes out on Ontario waters this
spring has a healthy respect for
cold water and stays alive.
