'^'' ONTARIO i ONTARIO MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT TOLL RECORDED ALL-TIME HIGH IN 1949 URGENT APPEAL IS MADE FOR WHOLE-HEARTED PUBLIC AND ^ PERSONAL CO-OPERATION TO CUT TRAFFIC LOSSES IN 1950 * In deaths and injuries on Ontario streets and highways, 1949 proved to be the worst year in the history of the Province. Despite the fact that the intensive and maintained campaign for safety by the Department received generous support and co-operation of the press, the radio, the schools, the police, many service clubs, safety organizations, the operators and drivers of commercial vehicles and many thousands of citizens, the toll of tragedy reached an all-time high. HERE IS THE 1949 RECORD Motor vehicles registered in Ontario 9*9,9*S Tourist vehicles recorded 4,S00,000 Persons killed ISO Persons injured 17,469 Property damage $9,S31,6S9 THE PICTURE IN 1950 In 1950 (here will be in operation on Ontario highways one millioa motor vehicles owned by Ontario residents. There will be mare tourist vehicles in the Province than ever before. Traf&c will be much heavier, and mure chances of accidents will exist. Kstiniaced motor vehicles ii) 1910, 1,OSQ,000 Kjiimated drivers licenses in 1950, 1, 330,000 Kstimated tourist vehicles in 19J0, s,ooo,000 Unless the Ontario public rakes this problctn of highway safety seriously to heart and everyone sets out to cm down this mountini; stale of accidents, it i.s possible that in 19)0 the death toll may reach a new shocKing figure, with the number of persons injured keeping pace. With these facts in view, it behooves every man and woman, young and old, to make it a personal objective to establish and maintain safety, and to preach it at all times to schools, families, drivers and accjuainlances. The Department of Highways is devoting alt its energies to a continuous planned attack on accidents. 'I lie earnest teamw<irk of all citizens and organizations is re> quested. It is a common cause that all of us can aid for the general good. OEO. H. DOUCEH MInliter of Highway* Mrs. Anna McMillan is visiting friends in Toronto.
