The Brussels Post, 1975-03-12, Page 6Seat belts mean greater safe This is what Ontario is doing to make sure people know it •IF and wear them! In 1973, 2000 people were killed and nearly 100,000 injured in car accidents here in Ontario! Tragic? Sure. But even more tragic when you consider that many of these people could have been saved by one simple action. Buckling a seat belt. Scientific evidence proves that seat beltS reduce the chance of death or injury in a car accident by 50%! So your Ontario Government is spon- soring an intensive educational program to persuade drivers and passengers—and children, too—to wear a seat belt even on short drives. The symbol of this program is the sign shown. It's a reminder to "Buckle up 'for safety." 'You'll be seeing it often along Ontario streets and highways. It's part of a plan to help protect you, your family, and everyone in the province—to help Ontario residents live better, longer. And to make doubly-sure of it, the govern- ment has prepared interesting, informative booklets, a film, and a special school pro- gram on the importance of wearing a seat belt.
