Recent moves have been aimed at halting the slaughter, and the Canadian Safety Council appar- ently is optimistic about the re- sults. However, it predicted that 35 persons will likely be killed in weekend road accidents com- pared to 37 for the same holiday weekend a year ago "In the first four months of this year the toll reached 469, one more than for the same period a year ago. In 1957 there were 753 deaths in the first quarter. The annual highway toll has been bouncing up and down in the last four years. In 1956 there were 3,164 deaths. In 1957 a rec- ord 3216 were counted and 1958, the total fell again to 3,134 The safety council said it takes heart from the decrease last year because 82 fewer deaths were recorded despite a four-to five-per-cent increase in road mil- eage.

Christine Thomas to a meeting of the Oshawa and District Labor Council last Tuesday. "It would appear Mrs. Thomas was either mis- quoted or completely unpre- pared to adequately explain the propozed bus franchise agreement," he declared. On Page Three of today's Oshawa Times, Ald.
