MANNING MEWS The Manning Mews project was rejected by the Administra- tive Committee last Monday night. The decision was a difficuit une for the comnmittee.. Somany pros and cons. On the credit sîde, accomodations;are needed, the church would acquire a paved pêrking. lot, water, sewer, sidewalks etc', stili own the land while providing senior accomodations. Ail, this would be taken care of by a Fedéral Government LIoan to be paid backý over 50 years' froin the; rentai accomodations. On the debit side, the land is designated as a protected 10w density area in the Whitby OfficiaI Plan. This was a hard fought concession -won by the people at the time the Officiai Plan was drafted. Tb build anything other than single family dweilings would require an amendment to the Officiai Plan.

CORRIDOR AREA RATEPAYERS ASSOCIATION The next executive meeting of the Corridor Ares Ratepayers Association wfil be at the Whitby municipal Building on Reprtfror Queen's Park-' Good news for Ontario residents. Trafiic-reiatea deaths on Ontario jýoads% have dropped' to- the lowqest, level since 1962, according to Iecent statistics released by my coileague, the Honourable James 'Snow, Minister of Transportation& Communications. In the two-year period since the introduction of the seat beit legislation 1 i January 1976,1I am pleased to announce that ,there have, been 313 fewe.driver and passenger deaths. In 1975, 1,314, deivers and 'passengers were killed. In 1976, 11109 ... or 205 fewer. In 1977, 1,001 drivers and passengers were killed. That's an even further reduction of 108. I am disappointed to inforin you that personal traffic-related injuries went up by 14.2%. However, this is stili the second iowest injury total since 1972. The total number of accidents increased 3.1%, from 211,865 in 1976 to 218,428 in 1977. We must remember and take into consideration that even 11fender benders" without personal injuries are'included in that total. And I'm sure that our worse-than-usual snowfails in 1977 certainly brought about a lot of those. I share the belief of many police and safety officiais that the seat-beit legisiation, plus the lower speed limits are having a noticeable -effeet on the death statistics. Let's look. at some figures. My colleague, James Snow, reports that in accidents where- drivers were flot wearing seat beits, 377 were killed, 11,090 injured and 46,243 escaped injury. In -accidents Where the seat belts 'were installed and in use Sthere is a, striking^ comparison which should, be made ... 114 -dvers were kilied, 32,683 injured and 254,499 escaped injury. In the case of passengers, 264 were killed in cars, where.seat boîta were hot in use, and 57 were killed while wearing seat boîtà. Unfortunately,'lI mustý express some concern about the upsurge in motorcycle driver and passenger deaths and injuries. At the risk of souihding like-7, statisician, I ywouid like to quote to you.some figures. In 1977, 89 motorcycle 'drivers were killed, 3,590 injured, incèreases of 14.1% and 27.4% respectively. Sixteen motorcycële passengers, four more than in 1976, were' killed and 814 (an Thrday May 25 at 7:*30 p-.. sharp. Congratulations to Pat Patterson and his bride on their recent marriage. Have a good week, hope you enjoyed the long week-end. M. McEachern 725-896 increase of 25.6%) were injured. My coileagues 'and I had hoped'that legisiationrequling mnotorcydlists to operate with their front and rear lights on at ail times would make themn more conspciuous to motorists and truckers. Mr. Snow bolieves that it is up to the motorcyclista luo be doubly alert and drivers of other larger vehicles must in turn be more aware of motorcyclists and I agree. While it is encouraging that there were fewèr deaths on Ontarlo roads during 1977, it doesn't change the reality and traigedy of t)e total accident picture. Any numnbor of traffic desths is toomany. I1 velieve that there is stlI much room for improvement in our driving habits...from the use of seat belta. to the act of boing alert at the wheel. Let's take this,"stay alert" and "«buckle upt approach 80 that when* we look at the records fôr 1978, we, might al sSe fe-wer accidentý.
