safe actions
TORONTO - The Ontario Pro-

to think and act safely on this up-
coming last weekend of summer.
Already this year, the OPP has
investigated more than 500 traffic
deaths - a seven percent increase
over the same period last year.
"I have instructed our officers to
utilize everything at their disposal,
including radar and radar detector de-
tectors, as well as RIDE Program
initiatives," OPP Commissioner
Tom O'Grady said.
Personnel will also be checking
for scat belt use. Statistics reveal
that in the first eight months of
this year, in accidents investigated
by the OPP, 35 percent of the vic-
tims were thrown from their vehi-
cles.
During Labour Day weekend last
year, 19 persons were killed in 11,
accidents. This is an increase from
the same weekend in 1987 when 11
persons died.
Provincial Police arc also remind-
ing vacationers that disaster can oc-
cur on the water as well as on the
roads. In 1988, the OPP investigat-
ed 64 boating deaths. So far this
year, there have been 38 deaths on
Ontario waterways. '
.'The OPP will be out in full
force this Labour Day holiday
we';kend," said Commissioner
O'Grady. "We want everyone to
end the summer of a safe note."
