This column is a regular weekly feature prepared by the
Ontario Provincial Police. You may direct your questions to your
nearest O.P.P. Detachment office or to this newspaper Names will
not be used. in .print; however, all questions should- be accompanied
ybyr a complete name and address of the, person submitting the
question.
Did you know that in 1968
the 10 Accident Prevention
, 'Officers located in No; 6 District
of the. Ontario Provincial Police,
consisting of the: Comities of
Grey, Bruce, Huron, Perth,
'Wellington and Waterloo,
;`travelled over 37,000 miles and.
spoke to over 76,000 men,
wonien.and children. Their talks
covered many facets of safety,
such as school bus safety,
pedestrian safety, bicycle safety
and the Highway, Traffic Act
which contains the rules and
regulations for the °operation of
vehicles on our highways, along
with • registration and permits
and' the financial responsibility
of owners and drivers. The
officers also spoke about the
Ontario Provincial Police. "----- --
During these talks many
thousands of sesestions were
asked and answered. We are all
aware that ignorance of the law
is no excuse for breaking it, so
.'because of this and the many
thousand of questions asked
during our speaking
,-engagements, we feel that there
may be many more questions to,
be answered. During the year
1969 we hope to surpass the
figure spoken to in 1968, but we
are quite sure that- we still will
' . not , get ..a __chance to answer all
the questions. '
• In order to assist you in
knowing the laws, .safety rules
and the Ontario Provincial
Police, ' the Signal -Star, as a
pudic`' servicein co-operation'
with the O.P.P.,` wid run as. a
weekly feature, a question and
answer column. .If you have a
'question you would . like
answered, just .jot it down, with
° your name and address and send
it to your nearest O.P.P. office,
or this newspaper.
O.P.P. REPLIES
QUESTION: I own -a 1964
model car and I will . soon be
applying for my new 1969_.._
licence plates. Will I need a
° certificate of mechanical fitness
from a inectianiic to,o ,thin.° ,ase
new plates?
ANSWER: No. The only time
you need a certificate of
mechanical fitness for a motor
vehicle is, when the ownership of
the vehicle is transferred from
one person to another, in other
words, when you sell.your car.
In your case .you will only be
registering your car in your
name for another year and this is
done in the same .manner as
before. .
Dear Sir:
Just heard the O.P:P. report. I
was wondering why horse and
buggy slow moving outfits do
not have to have a slow moving
sign on. In our township there -
are about 90 families who drive
horses only and they have no
sign. They are dangerous,
especially at night.
ANSWER:'' Section 42a (1)
states, "Every farm tractor and
self-propelled implement of
husbandry when operated on a
highway or any vehicle towed by
eider of them, shall have a slow
,moving 'vehicle sign attached to
the rear thereof in accordance
with the regulations.". They....alre
required by law under Section
33 Subsection •24 to have lights.
Section 33 Subsection 24
states, . "Every vehicle, other
than a motor vehicle, bicycle,
tricycle or a vehicle referred;, to
in subsection 21, 22 or 25, when
on a highway at any time from
one .half hour after sunset to one
half hour before sunrise and at
any other time,' when, due to
insufficient light or unfavourable
atmospheric conditions, persons
and vehicles on the highway are
not clearly discernible at a
distance of 500 feet or less, shall
carry in a conspicuous position
on the left side thereof a lighted
lamp which shall display a white
light to the front and a red light
to the rear or a lighted lamp
whi h shall display a white light
to the front and a lighted lamp.->
which shall display a red light to
the rear, and any lamp so used
shall be clearly visible at a..
distance bf at least 500 feet
from, the front and the rear of
the vehicle, as the Mase may be."
This might be a good time to
mention that the police do not
make the laws, they only
enforce them." If people don't
like the laws they should write
their M.P. ,.
Parent Teacher federation S�ys
Smoking- Means Life Or Death
The Canadian Home and
School .and Pa 'ent-Teacher
Federation, in co-operation with -
the Department of National
Health and Welfare, this month
launched....a long-term campaign,
Complete with a"handbook 'of -
instruction, to stop children
from smoking before they start.
It is the goal of the Canadian
Federation to bring up a new
generation of people who do not
smoke, andwho will therefore
be spared the sickness, disability
and death that may result from
cigarette smoking..
This campaign could be the
greatest life-saving venture of all
time. It is in reality a "Crusade
Against Children Smoking".
Parents do not lealize that today
the average child starts tosmoke
at age twelve, and some have
been known to, start as early as
age six. It is also a well known
--fact that the younger a child,
starts, the • greater the danger .of
lung eaneer, heart disease and..
,er nohysema,
Everyday in Canada, 300
school age children have their
first -cigarette. By the time they
graduate from school, half of the
nation's teenagers are .smoking.
G
Could this not be classified as a
cigarette epidemic'? Should
parents" not get upset? In fact,
should they not get really upset
and do something about it?
Parents should ask: — is the
corner' Store turing it's back on,
the law and selling, cigarettes to
under -age children? Should
childrel:S be, able to pick up
cigarettes with a note fearer a
parent, and' should we waive the
law for a lazy parent? Should
cigarette advertising on radio
and ,TV continue? Or •has the
time come for parents to ,help
the government make up its
,rnind on cigarette advertising?
Cigarette addiction among
children is a social problem
involving the entire community..
To combat this addiction, it will
requilre the, total effort of the
complete community, such as
' the news media, theatres
especially for children's matinees
youth groups, schools,
churches and adult groups.
The .Canadian Home and
.School and;; Parerlt:Teacher
Federation's handbook will
include guidelines ,. -for
conducting an open meeting,
sources for speakers, guidance
for parents who are "hooked"
by the habit and hope that their
children don't get the habit,
ideas for involvement of
school-age , children," and
'suggestions for attacking this
social problem in the
community. The Federation
h'opes to reach a half million
parents with this life-saving
campaign.
