A SAFE AND HAPPY EASTER FOR OUR CHILDREN The Hon, George H. Doucett. Saturday is the worst day of the weak for traffic necidents our records show, and the Easter holiday which 'start when school closes this week are like a whole week of Saturdays to the children themselves, Not only is every holiday like Sat- urday, but Easter is a partic ularly bad time for traffic sccidents because all of us use our cars more and more as winter relaxes its grip. The year 1947 saw a record number of child fatalities, 182, despite the fact that there were actually fewer child injuries than in 1946, There "was no improvement in the child ag- cident picture until after the children went back to school in the fall, when the number from traffic accidents among school- the same period 'of 1946. "The continuing work both in schools and among adults appears to be having some good re- sults. Teachers in Ontario schools aire to be commended for their con- . tinuing efforts to develop safe habits among children. Newspaper editors, radio stations and all who demonstrate an interest in traffic safety can feel]. that their efforts to promote safer driving and walking practices have not been in-vain. Our '1947 unceident records show 345 accidents occurred when crossing streets at other than intersections; 310 children playing in the street were ne- cident victims; 269 accide nts happened to, children running out from behind parked cars or other objects; 147 uc- cidents involved children crossing higwhays and 111 were cases where children were crossing at intersections - that had no signals. These figures must warn every motbdrist; they tell him what to watch out for. When children are about, ex- pect the unexpected. No matter how well a youngster has béen taught, there are times when he 'is completely absorbed .with his games or thoughts and forgets his safety lessons. Every motorist must take this into account and drive cautiously whenever wherever children are present. is especially applicable ' coming Easter holiday. . - Figures are cold things. and grief that follows when 'child is killed or injured. Accidents that do not kill can still maim} and cripple, Fractured skulls, brain concussions, broken backs and limbs, internal -in- 'juries are only a few of the horrible results when a motor vehicle strikes. The grief of parents and the drivers involved, the hospital and medical ex- penses, long absences from school, all -contribute to the frightfulness of our 3 "accident facts. Easter cannot be APIY unless we are free of accidents. Will you please "do everything you can. to keep our roads and highways safe?
