now getting onough it hardly seems right for the on tario government to hand out back salary cheques to civil service em ployees who have suffered no more if as much as citizens throughout the

legally be in stalled as trustee do the taxes for nominating purposes include all tax es or that pertaining only to school taxes answer at the session of the leg islature for 1933 section 135 of the public schools act was amended by adding the following subsection la a person whose taxes for school purposes at the time of elec tion or at any time during his term of office as trustee are overdue

an open letter to every motorist in ontario we have learned to think of christmas as the childrens festival the time when childhopes and happiness are lifted high in every home in city town and village but christmastide is very often a season of icy roads and slippery streets when driving becomes difficult and dangerous and cars slide and slip over the treacherous surface it is the time when accidents and fatalities can happen without warning unless drivers realize the imperative need for added care and extra caution throughout the province today thousands of children are eagerly anticipating the coming of christmas and the joy of the days to follow when the presents and pleasures of that day will bring renewed happiness and enjoyment if by any fault of driving or from any neglect of some simple rule of safety you were to deprive one- of these children of health and strength even of life itself what a responsibility would be yours for the childrens sake this appeal is made to you and to every motorist in ontario that throughout this winter you undertake to drive carefully cautiously sanely and safely lest one childs life be lost or one little form crippled or torn dont let any home in ontario be darkened by sorrow and sadness this christmastide because you did not drive carefully enough this is an objective worth the effort and its cost is only a little more care as you drive more and more the considerate motorists of ontario are realizing how much depends upon them in the campaign for safety driving on our roads it is a matter of deep gratification to know that fatalities in which automobiles are concerned are decreasing in this province from january 1st to october 31st 1933 there were 71 less fatalities of that character than in the same period last year for this marked improvement in safetydriving the government of ontario offers its thanks and congratulations to the motorists of the province it is a definite indication that the majority of drivers of automobiles in ontario are cooperating in a real endeavour to reduce the deathtoll of the open road to ensure that this gratifying improvement is maintained during the dangerous days of winter as well as throughout the coming year will you not make this resolution if for no other reason than for the childrens sake to protect life and health by driving with care and caution by observing the simple rules of the road and by making safety your motto as you drive along the highways and the byways of the province toronto december 19th 1933 minister 6f highways
