No one can live unto himself, es- pecially in thisday and age. Your a responsibiity to everyone else as you wheel your vehicle around is almost a full-time job. Too few drivers appreciate this fact, or at least they do not appear to appre- ciate it. In past issues we have dealt at length with the subject of the driver's responsibility to other drivers, and it has recently occurred to us that we have not considered the plight of the pedes- trian. The motorist's responsibility has always been greater than that of the pedestrian. We have watched as drivers have scooted by children on bicycles, children en foot and children at play. Children invariably act like sheep. They follow the leader, never caring much where the leader goes, and yet there are those motorists who do not seemingly recognize these facts. It is always too late to be careful after you have struck down, and perhaps, killed, one of our little . ones. This goes for the adult too. It is too mucht to expect any pedestrian to have to suffer the penalty of death for jaywalking. The motorist may very well have the right-of-way but that does not give him license to strike any pedestrian. It is an estab- lished fact that of every five per- sons killed in motor accidents in Ontario, two are pedestrians. Motorist may be well advised to observe these driving rules to prevent their being involved in an accident themselves and a pedestrian : ; Slow down whon pasing stand- ing vehicles; watch for children and aged persons; observe school zone signs; give the pedestrian an opportunity to cross at an 1n- tersection--this may prevent him what- Ontario has not ony too many pedestrians Practice Care, Courtesy and Common Sense! eso } The LETTER BOX } oO o Dear Madam: Onbehalfan ietBoardiee Pda. cation of North Cobalt, the prin- cipal D.
