Toronto, Dec. 12th--If you sloppy or "smart-Alec" driver, dreaming jay walker, a non-believer in traffic and highway signs, or ratic bicyclist, you are now in the movies--or at lest your prototype is Hon, T. B. McQuesten, Ontario' Minister of Highways, to day announc ed that a series of moving picture "shorts" demonstrating the good and bad in motoring, cycling and walking will soon be released There will be six films in the series: "Jay Wlalkers," "Signs and Passwords," "Tomorrow's Rulers," "Right or Wrong?," "Holiday Drivers," and "Beware the Bikes." The two-minute films will be shown in every one of Ontario's 225 movie theatres over a period of six months. According to Mir. McQuesten, the first picture in the series, "Jay Walkers," will be released this week and during December will appear in nearly evtiry moving picture house through- oue the province. Said Mr. McQuesten: "WTe have not tried to make these films into the proverbial 'stupendous, colossal, gigantic, super-extra' productions of Hollywood fame. We have just tried to show how the ordinary, every-day mistakes of drivers and pedestrians create accident hazards and often result in injuries and death. The films demonstrate the common, simple rules of safe driving and safe walking; how keeping them keeps safe and healthy and how breaking them lands careless people in a hospital and sometimes in a morgue." Mr. McQuesten praised Ontario's theatre managers for co-operating with the Department of Highways in its campaign. 'Live and healthy motorists and pedestrians are the only ones who can go to movies," he remarked. "Injured and dead people are mighty poor movie theatre partons." Provincial Police Officers, the Highways Minister stated, were used throughout the filming of the shorts to drive the automobiles which participate in the staged episodes of good and bad highway conduct illustrated in the films. This was done, I he commented, because no one knows Human nature is what makes a better how to drive a car badly than man laugh louder at his funny story a motorcycle officer, since he sees it j than when the other fellow tells one. happen dozens of times every day. !----~ Highway officers, Mr. McQuesten! officer who can hand out the most pointed out, are stationed on the "tickets." ropds not to trap unwary motorists, 1 When the films have been shown but to make the highways safe.
