Report Indicates Farm Accident Rate Declines Transport Minister H. L. Rown- tree in tabling the Ontario Motor Vehicle Accident Statistics for 1960 in the Legislature this week said,' "It is pleasing to be able to report that. the fatal accident picture showed an improvement over 1959." The Minister said that fatal ac- cidents had shown a decline of 1.9 per cent. At the same time the number of deaths fell by 1.8 per cent to 1,166. This is particularly significant in view of an increase of 4.4 per cent in motor vehicle registration. Mr. Rowntree continued: "The total number of accidents of all types reported increased from 81,- 518 in 1959, to 87,186 in 1960. The Minister added that, to curb the unnecessary loss of life, injuries and property damage, every effort must be made to improve the driv- ing and walking habits of our citi- zens. This,' he said, was not some- thing that could be done by the government alone, but needed the active support of every citizen. With better highways and safer ve- hicles than ever before, the acci- dent problem is to a great extent one of attitude of the driver and the pedestrian. He went on to say that in 1960 there had been some 400,000 con- victions registered for offences in- volving a motor vehicle. As a result of these convictions and 'for other reasons 28,691 drivers were suspended in 1960, an increase of 26.8 per cent over the previous year. These comprised suspen- sions applied by the courts at the time of conviction, suspensions un- der the demerit point' system, sus- pensions for failure to pay judg- ments. The majority were, how- ever, only effective until proof of financial responsibility for the fu- ture was filed. In conclusion the Minister said, "These suspension figures should clearly demonstrate to every mo- torist that the operation of a mo- tor vehicle on the highway is a privilege which should be careful- ly guarded. Because if it is abus- ed it must, in the interests of safety and to protect other users of the highway, be taken away. • TH>�r ARAN gXPQ$I't'ORr $,L�.AFAR i-010 ,. 104-4, YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO ATTEND THE of our NEWLY DESIGNED READY-TO-WEAR AND MILLINERY DEPARTMENTS Saturday, March 25 from .9 o'clock to 6 o'clock We invite our visitors on Open.. ing day to take 'part in a drawing for a number of prizes.
