"HELL BELOW'? C2 Cx: ONTARIO DEPARTMENT OF HIGHWAYS MOTOR VEHICLES BRANCH "For the Children's Sake' An open letter to every motorist in Ontario We have learned to think of Christmas as the children's festival --the time when child-hopes and happiness are lifted high in every home in city, town, and village. But Christmas-tide 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 to-day, 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 children's 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 child's life be lost, or one little form crippled or torn? Don't let any home in Ontario be darkened by sorrow 4nd sadness this Christmas-tide 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 Ist to October 31st, 1933, there were 71 less fatalities » of that character than in the same period last year. For this marked improvement in safety-driving 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 co-operating in a real endeavour to reduce the death-toll 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 children's 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 by-ways of the Province? 5 \ ! ®.
