Page Four THE HATLEYBURIAN THURSBAY, MAY 19th, 1955 Holiday Week-End Starts Campaign for Public Safety Canadians have been called upon by His Excellency the Gov- ernor-General to observe the Victoria Day holiday, May 21-22- 23, as Highway Safety week-end. In an appeal to the nation Mt Massey said: "Over the holiday week-end just before the National Highway Safety Conference--the first long summer week-end--the traffic on 1oads will be heavy. Let us all in every part of Canada now plan to observe this holiday by pre- venting accidents of every kind on streets and highways Let us see if we can reduce the™ to the lowest figure in Canada's luistory for these three days. "We can do this, and I believe will do so, if we realize such accidents mean loss in life, in suffering and material damage. Let us then take care to see that none of us is the cause of such loss or injury anywhere in our great country." In all ten provinces a_ similar appeal has been made by the Lieutenant-Governors and pro- vincial governments to drive carefully during the busy holiday week-end. During the Victoria Day week-end of last yeor, 54 Canadians were killed in road ac- cidents; on the same holiday in 1953 highway dead were 65; and in 1952 the total was 33. Highway Safety week-end im- mediately iprecedes the opening of the National Highway Confer- ence in Ottawa on May 24th The first national conference on highway safety, convened by the Canadian Good Roads Associa- tion, will attract delegates fron every province.
