congratulated for their allout drive dur ing the Labor Day weekend to curb the senseless traffic slaughter on the high ways The Canadian Highway Safety Con ference hadpredicted that 42 would die as result of traffic accidents in this country during the holiday week end Canadian Press survey showed that from pm Friday until midnight Monday traffic accidents accounted for 32 deathsfliless than the same week last year While Ontario led thelist with violent deaths from all sourcebnine of them due to trafficit is significant that in the whole of Southwestern 0n tario road were recorded Only one more long weekend remains this yearJrhanksgiving Oct through iband it is to be hoped the police efforts will be even more rewarding Because of Ontarios density of popuial tion and the large number of motor vehicles registered by resldents as well as driven by visitors one might expect that the traffic hazard would possibly be higher than some other parts of the country But dense as traffic is it is still no excuse for the driver who through speed or some other factor gets involved in some kind of accident There must be something to bring home to motorists at all times that they are marked people while behind the wheel The demerit system is one way of doing this The get tough ellout effort as demonstrat edduring the past weekend is another the most densely populatedvsree of the provinceonly two deaths on the When he conferred with police over the proposed Labor Day drivoVOnterio At torneyGeneral Kellova is said to have commented that he did not want the people to feel officials deliberately aoughtto penalize the public this may have grain of truth in it we feel it is closer to the truth to say officials were definitely out to penaiise those who did not keep within the limits of tho lawboth the law of the land and the law of common sense It iswhen driver feels he has an eye on himthot if he gets out of line he will pay for it that he keeps withinthe bounds of caution To date too many drivers havent had that feeling im pressed on them They have become careless and paid for it in death injury or property damage Following the Labor Day weekend there are others who have found that even though they were not involved in accidents they were marked men and women western Ontario alone police laid as many as 800 charges for some breech of the low This dramatic approach to serious problem should serve valuable purpose in jerking people out of their complac ency There has been talk of extending this get tough policy To duplicate continuously the effort of the past weekend would place great strain on the resources of the police and this would mean less efficiency or greatly increased force at much greater cost to the taxpayer We would suggest that such drives be held periodically through the year particuhriy in the summer season and that they be unannounced Opinionsoil Other Newspapers KEEP TRISVOUI Financial Post AWiscoasinfnrrner will
