"With traffic deaths standing third only to heart disease and cancer as cause of death in Canada, the high­ way accident outlook for the Domin­ ion Day week-end is causing great concern, Whether Canada’s 88th birth­ day is a safe holiday or a disas­ trous one rests with the motoring public.’’ In those words W. B, G, Reynolds, general manager, Ontario Safety League today squarely pinned respon­ sibility in advance for the toll of vaca­ tion traffic deaths. "It is my firm belief that the great­ er number of holiday auto accidents .can be laid at the door of impatient and discourteous drivers," said Col­ onel Reynolds. "These Hurry Bugs are so intent on cramming their July first holiday full of activity and pleasure that they don’t take time to drive safely.” He strongly recommended a more relaxed attitude as a safeguard for the driver on Ontario’s highways. "There’s very little fun in making an over-ambitious schedule and trying to keep up with it no matter what hap­ pens.” LLASHMAR THEATRE V CLINTON, ONTARIO Next to Clinton Community Park — Open at 7.30 Iprst show at dusk.
