Bowmanville, June 21.1980 Grade Four Student Leads Kidney Fund The Dangers of Summer Driving Dialysis, Allen explained, cleans his blood. Understanding the medical medical jargon seems like a lot to expect of an 11-year-old but Alien seems to take it all in stride. He says that having problems problems with his kidneys doesn't stop him from doing things with his friends.

"I get scared sometimes," he said. Allen has already had two kidney transplants that, for various reasons, weren't successful. He's currently on the June transplant list. He said after he has a transplant there will be one limitation on his physical activities: activities: He won't be able to play contact sports.

Dear Editor: The onset of warmer weather means more and more Ontario residents will be taking to.the roads as another another cottage season begins. An increase in traffic volume volume means an increased risk of accident involvement and injury or death. Figures released by the Ministry of Transport show that, provin- cially, the number of people injured in accidents is at the highest level ever, and the number of fatalities in increasing. increasing. A study of fatal accidents since January 1,1988 in the Peterborough OPP District has given rise to some alarming figures. In 1988, 56 people died in 49 accidents on Fp< roads. Nearly half (48.9%) of those killed were not wearing seatbelts, even though seatbelts were available available in the vehicles they occupied. occupied. One third of those killed were thrown out of their vehicles on impact. This disturbing trend continues in 1989. To June 1,1989, this District has experienced experienced 14 fatalities resulting resulting in 16 deaths. Half of those killed were not seat- belted and were thrown out of their vehicles. Beginning in 1987, the OPP stepped up seatbelt enforcement enforcement in an effort to reduce reduce injuries on our highways. highways. In 1988 the Peterborough OPP District led the Province in seatbelt enforcement with than 10,000 charges, or warnings given out. Al- ready in i989 more than. 6000 seatbelt violations have resulted in charges or warnings from Peterborough area officers. This level of enforcement will continue. In spite of this, people will be needlessly killed or injured on our roadways this summer. While we cannot say that twenty-one people would be alive today if they had been wearing their seat- belts, their chances of survival survival would have increased by remaining in the passenger compartment. It was been proven over and over that seatbelts DO save lives. Enforcement alone will not reduce the numbers of unused seatbelts. We need the co-operation and commitment commitment of the motoring public to help us increase seatbelt usage and thus reduce reduce these tragic statistics.
