Council were not inclined to endorse the new scheme until they had received more information on the matter. None of the council including Reeve Price who has heard the question discussed in County Council, just seemed to know what the whole idea was. In fact some of the council had not the least conception as to what the question meant or what position Grimsby would be placed in if the idea was adopted or not adopted. Finally the council passed the followâ€" MINISTER ASKS FOR EASTER DRIVING CARE With 700,000 Children Releasâ€" ed From School Motorists Should Take Extra Preâ€" cautions To Prevent Acciâ€" dents. A recornd number of child acciâ€" dents over the Easter holiday perâ€" lod this year may be expected unâ€" less motorists are prepared to obâ€" serve the traffic laws and "take it easy," warns the Hon. Geo. H. Doucett,. Minister of Mighways, in a message to drlv‘r‘rl released on Tuesday. "With 700,000 children released from ‘school supervision at a time when the seasonal increase in motâ€" or traffic has already started, there is an urgent need for motorists to take it easy," stated the Minister. Last year, in Ontario, there were 68 children between 5 and 14 years of age killed, as compared with 93 in 1947 and 102 in 1941. The im« provement in the record is attriâ€" buted to the help and coâ€"operation given by teachers, the police and safety organizations. "Drivers must realize that a child on the sidewalk or on the roadway is a human danger signal calling for increased caution and reduced speed. Children are careâ€" free rather than careless, and too much reliance cannot be placed on the child. "If we are to avold a record "If we are to avold a record number of child accidents, parents must also assume greater responâ€" wibility for the safety of their children," stated Mr. Doucett, urgâ€" ing that children be warned of the dangers of traffic and the necesâ€" sity for playing in safe places.
