TRAGIC BUSINESS OF HIGHWAY ACCIDENT
working team cannot fail to benefit
the community.
So nmeh for the role of the in-
dividual doctor in treating traffic
casualties. There are several other
important area , in which the med-
ical profession is playing a key role.
This is done through the Canadian
Medical Association and its provin-
cial divisions. Each provinicial med-
ical association has a committee stu-
dying highway safety.
Composed of 10 provincial re-
presentatives and an equal number
of doctors in selected specialties, the
Canadian Medical Association Com-
mittee on the Medical Aspects of
Traffic Accidents can speak from a
broad geographic and scientific back-
ground. At a recent two-day meet-
ing of this committee recommend-
ations were made concerning stan-
dards of physical and mental fitness
for drivers, visual standards, use
of sear belts, ambulance services,
hospital equipment and the effects
of alcohol on driving.
The medical committees in all
provinces are now engaged in pre-
paring standards of medical fitness
for drivers which it is hoped will be
acceptable to all provincial author-
ities.
The medical profession also pro-
vides competent advice to those
responsible for issuing driver li-
cences, law enforcement, highway
safety and public education.
One more area remains — per-.
haps the most important of all —in
which organized medicine can play
a vital role. This is the field of -re-
search, primarily into the cause or
causes of accidents. Obviously the
provincial factors are 'exploding
gasoline and abnormal human be-
havior, with alcohol involved in
many cases. Conclusions cannot be
reached or remedial measures deter-
mined without accurate knowledge.
There is no lack of raw material. for
study (182,000 traffic accidents in
Canada in 1959) but trained research
personnel and funds are lacking.
Keenly aware of the need for all
kinds of research, the Ca.nadia.n Ned e
ical Association was:one of the spon-
sors in 1955 of the Canadian Traffic
Accident Medical Research Founda-
tion. The CMA also co-operates ac-
tively with the Canadian Highway
Safety Council.
The automobile was never in-
tended to be the lethal weapon it
is .today. Progress in fighting this
national problem must depend on
aroused public opinion and Support.
The strong plea in Parliament by a
Toronto physician, Dr. J. W. Kttch-
erepa, for a Royal commission on
traffic accidents should receive the •
attention it deserves both ire and out
of the House of Commons.
The Canadian doctor is anxious
to do his full duty in all the medical
aspects of traffic accidents.
HAVING OUR CAKE
According to an editorial in "The
Courier" of Canora, Saskatchewan,
the liquidation of all Federal corpor-
ate activities in the United States
would yield a saving of about $44
billion a year.
Since individual income tax pro-
duced a revenue of about $37 billion
in 1959, it is calculated that it would
be possible for the Government to
stop levying taxes on personal in-
comes, estate and gifts, and still have
a saving of more than $7 billion a
year. Moreover the enterprises thus
sold would yield in private operation
an additional 15 percent corporate
and excise taxes. There would be a
total saving of over $15 million a
year,
It is not surprising, therefore,
that there is growing interest in the
proposed 23rd Amendment to the
U.S. Constitution which would force
the Federal Government to sell its
commercial enterprises and stop it
from taxing personal incomes and
estates.
Such a measure has already won
The Winghaln Advance:ritlies the approval of the law-making
bodies of the States of Nevada, Wy-
oming ,and Texas. Michigan, Mis-
sissippi and Louisiana are to decide
this year. Concluding its comment
on these developments "The Cour-
ier" Canora says, — "of course we
can't have our cake and eat it!
But, perhaps, we could, at least, have
our cake'

That's the 'way I've been frus-

I have thought it must be heaven

Let us imagine that tomorrow's
newspapers describe an enormous.
disaster, which has befallen Kitchener
or some other city with a population
of around 88000, We are told that
the economic damage amounted to
-$400,000,000 and that every man,
woman and child had been injured,
many completely disabled for life.
Worse still, 3,000 persons have been
killed, half of them in the prime of
life, from 15 to 40 years old.
These figures actually coincide
with those in the 1959 report of
traffic accidents published by the
Canadian Highway Safety Coun-
cil. To dramatize the magnitude
of these losses, the period of 12
months has been condensed into
One night and the area from 10
provinces to one city. These acci-
dents, as we know to our sorrow,
happen anywhere and anytime,
Canadians have been absorbing this
deadly poison in minute doses for
so many years that they have de-
veloped a high degree of immunity,
with resulting apathy and fatalism
toward the frightful carnage.
If all these traffic accidents had
happened with one fell swoop in a
large city, we know from past ex-
perience how the entire country
would react, We remember the
Halifax explosion, the Noronic, fire
and, in 1950 the Winnipeg flood.
Doctors, nurses, ambulances, med-
ical supplies and food are rushed to
the scene and millions of dollars are
contributed, to relief funds. MillionS
more would be spent to determine
the cause and to prevent a recur-
rence. Compared with the $400,000,-
000 damage front traffic accidents,
the cause of damages and new
dikes following the Winnipeg flood
amounted to only $24,000,000 and
the .Manitoba Relief Fund exceeded
$7,500,000. Not a single life was lost
in the flood.
. From the beginning of this whole
tragic business of highway accidents,
the medical profession has been not
Only interested but -vie ally, cone erned,
Here the doctOr has a dual respon-
sibility. As an individual physician
he must treat traffic victims. From
his training and firsthand experience
he must also play his full part in
helping to prevent these accidents
or' at least to reduce the damages.
In the treatment of traffic ac-
cident casualties the Canadian doctor
is ready to answer emergency calls
at all hours and in all kinds of,
weather. To do his best work, how-
ever,. he needs the help and team-
ivoiie of other groups. These are the
police and telephone. companies for
communication; ambulance oper-
ators for first-aid and transportation
and adequately equipped and staffed
hospital emergency departments.
Where these services are not satis-
factory the doctor is handicapped in
his work of resuscitation and re-
habilitation. Public interest, to say
nothing of self-preservation, de-
mands serious attention to medical
recommendations to improve emer-
gency services in every locality.
As an example of what a com-
munity can do, a pilot study of come
munications, first-aid, transportation
and emergency treatment is being
conducted in Ontario around Corn-
wall.. Beginning last December, un-
der the auspices of the Ontario Med-
ical Association ,a group headed by
a general practitioner and embrac-
ing police, telephone company staff,
ambulance operators, hospitals and
doctors is teaming to handle traffic
casualties. Complete records of each
accident, including the exact time
(in minutes) are being prepared for
a 12-month period. With three
months' experience it is clear that
the results will be of real value,
Similar studies might well be car-
ried out in other localities from coast
to coast, and the mere bringing to-
gether of responsible groups as a
