The Ontario Provincial Police
air patrol' was responsible for
a marked reduction in fatalities,.
injuries and total motor vehicle
accidents on highways now un-
der' air surveillance, Commis-
sioner Silk announced today. In
addition to its regular duties the
air patrol was involved in 26
other special police investiga-
tions that ' included bank rob-
beries, murders, miss and want -
'ed persons.
"This is a good indication that
air traffic enforcement is an
effective method of reducing
motor vehicle accidents, deaths
and injuries on our highways.,"
Comimissioner Silk stated, " es-
pecially when one considers
that in-.thg,first nine months of
1966, there was a 5.4% increase
of motor vehicle accidents over
the same period in 1965 and a
7% increase. of 'foreign motor
vehicle entries into Canada."
"I would like to 'mention that
the general accident rate across
the Province of Ontario for the
first nine months of 1966, has
increased 10%, but, in the 822
miles of marked air patrol. test
areas on 15 provincial highways,
accidents haye decreased con-
siderably."

It

primarily due to the spirit of
