The belts, which are shoulder | harness type with a magnetic | buckle, are considered the best | life pretector fer car drivers by | the British Traffic Safety Coun- | cil, who also state "any type of | belt helps reduce the chance of | injuries". Statistics on the sales were | compiled by BMC.

Pocock, | BMC's chief executive, said "our sales in belts here have shown a significant increase this year. I don't think I'm being over optimistic when I say I) think the public is becoming aware of the benefits of a seat belt." He also said BMC had seat belts on its sales staff sell- ing guide. "We lead all the auto importers in Canada with our contribution to traffic safety," he declared. "We have children's safety vil- lages running in Ontario, Que- | bec, and British Columbia. ' This is where children are taught about traffic by driving Austin} pedal cars in toy villages. It's | controlled by jecal police and safety departments in conjunc- tion with school boards and last | year we estimate close to 700,-| 000 children went through the training course. | "We also support Safety leagues on driver education, and | we tell our salesmen to urge | people to use a seat belt. It's just good common sense," Po- cock said Car Shipments | Hit 72,390 Units | OTTAWA (CP) -- October} Shipments of Canadian - made! moter vehicles totalled 72,990} units, a gain of 52 per cent! from the 47,989 units shipped in | October of 1964, the Dominion Bureau of Statistics reported to- | day.
