Ontario Housing Talk Delayed In a letter received from the Regional Commissioner of Planning and Develop- ment with regard to the Ontario Housing Action Program, local Municipalities are asked to indicate whether they are interested in this program, and in what way the Region could assist them. The Pickering Executive Committee this week recommended that Council should defer responding to this letter for one month. Mayor George Ashe pointed out that there are two meetings coming up shortly, and that it would be 4320 Kingston Rd. west of Lawrence • 4-4721 Pll. 43 premature to respond to the letter until these meetings have taken place. Mayor Ashe said that "the Housing Action people have asked for a date to be set for a meeting.' "Also," he said, "Oshawa is sponsoring a meeting of heads of Municipalities that have been offered this program. This meeting will come up in two week's time, and the intention is to discuss the cost implications in given municipalities."

Councillor Des Newman of Whitby, attacking the Finance Committee for its $36 million budget, which during the course of debate bad another $110,000 added to it, said that it was the duty of Council to cut down on spending in a time or rising costs. In an outline of where the money will come from it was Batory 8 Lynx Ave Dangerous In a recent letter to the Executive Committee of Pickering's Council, Mr. Allan Seamans raised the _slue of a dangerous in- :ersection at the corner of Batory and Lynx Avenues in �Pe West Shore area. Ac- cording to Mr. Seamans dere have been many cases u near accidents at dills .orner and, in his opinion, --it :s Inevitable that someday vorneone, or possibly several people will be injured'. Mr. -eamons recommended that a Stop Sign, or at least a field Sign should be in- stalled at this location. The Executive Committee, after discussion, decided to recommend to Council that a Yield Sign should be in- stalled at this intersection and asked for a report from the TownEngineering Department on how this should be implemented. Use Privies For A While In a recent report from Dave Bass, Pickering Director of Recreation and Transportation, it was recommended that the sewer line connection from the Bay Ridges Kinsmen Park Field should be postponed until such time as the system can be connected to the proposed Sandy Beach Trunk Sewer. Mayor George Asbe, concurring with Dave Bass, said that this would represent a saving of several thousands of dollars. It would involve, he said, the temporary use of Vnvvies' until some time later on in the summer.

For the homeowner in Durham this will mean an average increase of 28 percent in taxes. However, Finance Committee Chairman George Ashe of Pickering said that it would be more fair to view this as an increase since 1972, as in 1973 taxes were down pen- ding Regional Government. In addition to the Regional Levy, it was shown that the total of $36 million will be made up of $5,023,000 in CaDifal Budae A Provincial Grants; $11,473,000 in Provincial Subsidies; $8,067,000 in User Service Charges and $146,000 from miscellaneous sources. It was also shown bow the money will be spent. $3,485,000 will be spent on Genral Government ex - ileuses; Planning and Development will spend $1,013,000; Social Services $10,447,000; Board of Health $1,455,000; Police $6,005,000; And the largest chunk of $13,660,000, or 38 percent, will bes spent on Public Works. Is S14,7e9,000 For ie For 1974 the Regional Durham Council has ap- proved a Capital Budget of $14,749,000. This amount includes $1.564,000 for projects proposed before the inception of Regional Government. The net Capita Budget approved was $12,072,000. A summary of expenditures was given as $10,082,000 for Sewer Ser- vices; $2,409,000 for Water Services; $710,000 for Conservation Authorities; $100,000 for Homes for the Aged; and $W,000 for Police. The total debenture requirement of the budget will be $11.1 million, of which $3.6 million will be tax supported. the balanee of the debenture debt will be financed from such sources as local improvements, reserves and charges to service users. Before the Capital Budget was approved by a majority in Council, Councillor John Goodwin of Whitby suc- cessfully moved $166,600 from the Current Budget to the Capita Budget. This amount was for Whitby projects including $34,000 for the Victoria Creek Pumping Station, $26,000 for a new low lift pump at the Water Plant, $64,000 for municipal water projects, and $61,000 for municipal sanitary sewer projects. Council Rejects Move To Cut Back Four times Councillors Des Newman and Gerry Emm tried to cut the Regional Public Works Department Staff when considering the budget last week. And four times they went down to defeat. A successful motion, not to allow any further manpower cut proposals and to pass the works budget as presented, was finally introduced by Councillor Jim Pot- ticary of Oshawa. Coiaciuor Newman's fust motion was to reduce the staff by 60 people. He explained that this was not a cut in present employees but only in proposed hirings. The Department currently employs 283 people and proposes to hire another 120, bringing the total to 403. Councillor Newman's first proposal was to cut the increase by 50 percent and save the Region " million. However, Councillor Alan Dewar, Chairman of the Public Works Committee, explained that the hirings had already been approved and were the absolute minimum required. When Council did not support the cut of W people, Coun- cillor Newman proposed a cut of only 10 percent, or 40 em- ployees of the total proposed staff. Councillor Garnet Rickard of Newcastle said 'If we do not take staff on here, we will have to ask some of the local people to do Regional work. This takes away from the Regional idea. Also, we must remember that if we want to provide services then we must have staff". This amendment was lost, as also was a further proposed amendment to cut the staff by 37 — being deferred vacancies pending budget approval. Councillor Rickard also warned "We can gain public support by cutting, but by doing so we are admitting we were not responsible before." After the last unsuccessful motion to cut the staff by 25 employees, Councillor George Ashe of Pickering said '"Ibere will be more of a crunch facing Council in 1975. Let's take our lumps now and not postpone the inevitable." BETTER SERVICE LOWEST PRICES Paint& Wallpaper 4520 Kingston Rd.

A Profession Or Union by Robert Nixon, Ontario Liberal Leader The teaching profession faces the most momentous decision in its history - whether to emphasize the professional aspects Early Morning Taxi Four o'clock in the morning. Tuesday, early October. And raining. I t has been raining for three days, a drizzle punc- tuated only be brief surges of drumming on the roof of the car. You've long since ceased to notice that your headlights illuminate nothing. You drive now by some mental radar, moresubtlethansight Becauseyoucan'treallysee. The drunks, indignant a nd reluctant, have all been ferried home. The night people have completed their dark and urgent errands, and it's quiet Because it's Tuesday, and silent you thick. Along with the silence, there's something about the rain. Maybe most suicides happen at four o'clock on rainy Tuesday morning. (In a quiet rain, of course; a thunderstorm is too threatening to die in. an fear keep a person a Ave?) The thought is broken by the crackle of the radia. The dispatcher is talking to one of the cars downtown. I t must be thef irst real soundyou've heard in twenty minutes. Sudde* ,the dispatcher erupts in a sharp burst of laughter, and you e. wish you'd heard the joke. At least he's alivThere'a dim of teaching or to move toward certification under the Ontario Labour Relations legislation and carry on its negotiations with its employers, the various school boards, as a union. It is obvious that both alternatives offer cocain advantages, particularly when a militant response to unacceptable government policies in the last few months have shown that the government was forced to withdraw from those policies since the 100,000 teaches in the province were wholly committed and unified in their stand. My own opinion is that the students, the teaches, and the community at large would be best served if the teacher moved to strengthen the professional aspects of their responsibilities. This would require two specific decisions; the first with the teachers, and the sexoed with the govern- ment of the province. To begin with, I fed that is is necessary for the various affiliates representing secondary teachers, elementary teachers. athdic teachers, the women public school teachers and the men public school teachers to reinforce even more than w the past their cooperative strength through a single organization, the Ontario Teaches Federa tion. This would not require the abandonment of the .affiliates, but the recognition of a strengthened professional aspect of teaching would corse about more quickly as far as the community is cancerned. with the emphasis on the teachers acting collectively and accepting the regulation and control of their own overall organization, the Ontario ?adieus Federation. The second change will require the Ministry of Education to establish by statute an organization which will have the power to regulate and discipline the tear' P a, and also have the power to certificate them under the general structure of the education statutes of the province. John Johnson 56 Church St. S. Pickering, Ontario rush of static, then silence again. As if motion would bring theworid back to life, you pull out into the street going somewhere. A forgotten tune plays in your mind to the rhythm of the wipers. Another sound, cool a nd hypnotic; the sound of your tires on the wet pavement, like a distant surf. The sounds of solitude. When you start thinking like this, it's time for a coffee, and thedonut shop is on the next corner. The sudden rush to your bladder, of all the coffee you've drunk this night, assassinates the thought with a sharp finality, and you drive past the oasis of light and noise. The agony will pass because it always has, and with an odd perversity you know you won't get out of the car for a while yet But you're certainly awake now. Asifheknew, the dispatcher calls your car number. "Get the emergency door." •'Right" J Your thoughts change direction with the car as you thread your way through the back streets to the next little in- stalment on your destiny. The hospital. Obviously a bigger instalment on someone else's destiny. You wonder what this one is a Il a bout_ There is a pattern to hospital fares in the small hours. Your passengers have usually done something very foolish and they seem, more often than not, to live in low -rents I housing. It's as if the more affluent arranged to do their dying or break their bones, or take their overdoses during proper business hours. Sure enough, there's the police cruiser at the emergency door, lights and engine off. It's a good bet that your fare arrived in the cruiser. Whatwillitbethstime? You reach over to open the back door, and the four of them get into the cab; a boy and a girl about f if teen, and two adults who must be the parents. The gir: is pale as death, and al four seam to be in shock_ Thesilence hangs in the car like a heavy curtain, and it's no time for conversation. A few seconds' pause at the next stop- light, and you catch a glimpse of the girl in the rear-view mirror. The pallor of her thin face is almost luminous, and you wonder if you have everseen anyone so vulnerable. A ten-minute ride, and you pull into the driveway of a solid middle-class home in a neighbourhood that is just beginning to show its age. Respectable, and somehow dusty -baking, even in the rain. "A dollar eighty, please". You wish you didn't have to break the silence. As they start up the walk, the girl steadies herself hand- over -hand against the side of the car. Then you notice that both of her wrists are heavily bandaged. There can be only one reason for that You back out of the driveway slowly, as if any sudden movement would shatter this fragile life the doctors have refused to let her leave. What awful despair can drive a fifteen -year-old kid to a thing like this? And why were you wondering about suicide a half-hour ago? The Albert M.

He prepared the easily followed guide for Canadian In- dustries Limited and this year-round guide is a vailable f ree from CIL lawn and garden products dealers. Plants have six basic needs, light, soil, water, food, proper temperature, and air. If you can supply them, your plants will flourish, but ignore any one, and the results can be disastrous. "All garden plants need light. But begonia will burn up in direct sun, and a tomato will refuse to fruit in the shade," Mr. Bradshaw says. The shade chart in the Lawn and Garden Guide shows where to put the various plants. "Your soil may be sand and dry too fast Or heavy clay, which gets waterlogged. Now can you fix it?" Mr. Bradshaw asks in the guide. "Any sail can be improved at once by adding humus (the scientific name for rotted organic matter). Humus can be added as compost, peat - moss, leaf -mold, composted manure, discarded mushroom manure. It opens up clay soils, makes sandy soil hold water. "Compost is cheapest and best You can make your own. "You should put a 2 -inch thick layer of compost on ail flower and vegetable beds every spring without fail. Mix it into the soil to a depth of six inches Aeration and drainage can be improved immediately in heavy clay soils by working in 'Turface' soil conditioner at 10 lb./ 100 sq. ft "Your garden and lawn should get a good thorough soak once a week. Dant give a daily sprinkle! Sprinkling each day keeps roots near the surface, and they quickly get dried up or burned. Water until the sod is moist to a depth of 6". Check by digging into soil with trowel. "Most garden plants look terrible in poor soil. Many will die. The truth is, they were bred to be fed'. Just as farmers fertilize their crops frequently, you should feed your garden. Because - it must be obvious - the food in the soil gets used up. This applied to vegetables, trees, shrubs, flowers and lawns. They all need feeding every year. "For vegetable gardens, I recommend 'CIL Flower & Vegetable Food' or `CIL Grow -All'. 'CIL Flower & Vegetable Food' is designed for those who want a general purpose fertilizer for flowers and vegetables and 'CIL Grow -All' is designed as a general purpose fertilizer for new lawns, as well as flower and vegetable gardens.

Then sit back and watch them grow! "Lettuce hates the heat. Corn hates the cold. So plant lettuce and other cool -season crops early so they grown during the cooler weather. Corn, melon and other warm -season crops should be planted when continuous warm weather is in sight. "Plants, like people, hate stuffy stagnant air. So don't crowd them together. Ask your nurseryman how far to space your plants apart. Soil must be dug over so that air mixes with it. Roots need air too! By adding compost to your soil, you help keep the soil" open. Balcony Gardeners . .1 6et Ready Although apartment dwellers are limited to the size of their balconies for flower and vegetable gar- dens, with careful planning, the right purchases and the correct materials, these small open spaces can be turned into havens for flowers and vegetables, said John Hughes, horticulturist with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. A wide variety of hanging baskets is available at garden centers and garden supply stores. These are quite acceptable to grow flowers or vegetables. Patio pots make excellent con- tainers for stake tomatoes, beans and peppers. If you are a handyman, you might consider making wooden window and porch boxes to increase the amount of space. "One aspect of container planting that gardeners should keep in mind is the im- portance of a proper soil mix," says Hughes. "Since these containers hold only a small amount of soil to support the plants' growth during the gardening seasom it should be fertile and well - drained." A coarse soil mix with lots of peat moss is ideal Fertilizer will have to be applied on a more regular basis. Liquid fertilizers can be mixed with the water and applied every other time when the plants arewatered. Garden fertilizer should be side -dressed or sprinkled around plants and raked lightly into the soil. Because of the relatively small volume of sort that is used containers can dry out quickly. Crushed stone or inverted pot shards should cover the drainage holes in hanging baskets and patio pots. A new product called Hydrogel can be in - corpora ted into the soil mix to reduce the need for watering to about one-third norma I requirements. Checks should be made frequently for insect and disease problems, and plants treated at once if necessary. With a dva nee pla nning a nd careful selection from the wide variety of suitable vegetables and flowering plants, apartment dwellers can turn their balconies into relaxing, green areas this summer. Planting Time For Gladioli "Mid -May until early June is the ideal time for gladiolus planting," says Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food horticulturist, Burke McNeill. With proper timing and correct planting procedures, gladiolus blooms will be ready :o decorate your living room by July. Before planting, the gladiolus corms should be cleaned and dusted with Sevinforthripcontrol Glads grow well in most soils - even heavy clay - but prefer a sunny location. For best results, the soil should be worked to at least eight inches prior to planting. While glads may be grown in borders, the most satisfactory way to grow them is in rows in the gar- den. The corms should be planted at row spacings of 12 to 18 inches apart and spaced from tour to six incloes within the rows. "Dig trenches six inches deep and cover the corms with two to three inches of soil," advises McNeill. "As the shoots grow, the balance of the soil can be pulled into the trench..' Fertilizer is not required in most soils at the time of planting, but a complete fertilizer such as 7-7-7 could be applied when the shoots reach the fifth leaf stage. Apply about one-half cupful to every five feet of row. Very easy to grow, the only care glads usually require during the summer months is weeding. House Sales Reach Record House sales in Metropolitan Toronto reached a record in the first five months of this year, according to a survey by A.E. LePage Limited. The Company reports that 20,125 properties were sold for $848,334,853 in the January -May period of this year compared to 16,20B residential transactions for $547,849,290 in the similar five months of 1973. May was a record month with 5,198 sales for $234,404,611 against 3,942 residential deals for $145,055,312 in May, 1973. The average price of properties sold in May this year was $45,095 compared to $36,797 in the similar month of last year. In the first five months of this year. the avrage price was $42,153 compared to $33,801 in the January -May period of 1973, the A. E. LePage Limited survey revealed. The total number of properties listed for sale last month increased by ap- proximately 20 percent, which presents a better balance between supply and demand which may be reflected in a levelling in average prices. It should be noted that the number of newly completed and unoccupied dwellings across Canada is at the lowest level in history, with only 2,617 single, semi- detached and duplex units availabein March this year compared to 4,239 vacant new units in March 1913. In the Toronto Metropolitan Area there were only 138 newly completed unoccupied dwellings in March this year compared to 182 in March, 1973. The apartment vacancy rate is virtually nil. w1i • I i&A,.off � � • U for example 175 x 13 RADIAL Tubeless Whitewall Man. Sug.

Royals history dates back to the 1920's when the original band was established in Scarborough By the 19Ws there had been many changes in name and uniform. In 1967 the Optimist Club of Scarborough adopted the group and assumed spon- sorship of the band. It was decided to include girls to expand the membership. In 1968 band director, Douglas C. Ferguson became director of the Scarborough Optimist Brass Ba nd. The group consisted of some 20 youngsters, a few miscellaneous instruments and other rela bed equipment The band participated in several small local parades, school fun fairs, little league openings and travelled on occasion to Woodbridge and Uxbridge. Frain 1968 to early 1973 the organization went through a period of adjustment. Membership began to ex- pand so rapidly that the practice facilities were inadequate. In 1973, after consultation with band parents, the Optimist Club of Scar- borough, the board of directors a nd the principal of Valley Park Junior High School, the band moved its June Concerts Sunday Concerts during June at the Scarborough Civic Centre from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. include: on June 2, Red Herring - Folk Rock and Daybreak - Rock: On June 9, - Jim O'Driscoll, Nice and Easy, Big Band Sound; on June 16, - Doctor McJazz, - Traditional Jazz; on June 23, Scarborough Concert Band; on June 30, Canada Day Weekend Celebration, Variety of Entertainment.

And left to our own resources, serious illness could often cripple us financially. So the government here in Ontario has developed a plan to provide health care for everybody, any time it's needed. That plan is called Ontario Health Insurance Plan— OHIP. (The "H" stands for "Health, " not "Hospital.") The Plan is administered by your Ontario government for us, the people of the province, who pay into it regularly so we can benefit when we need it. How does the Ontario Health Insurance Plan work? Like this: First, you apply for coverage —on a "Group" basis where you work, or you can pick up an application form at any bank, hospital, or OHIP district office. Next, you'll pay modest premiums to cover yourself and your family towards the time when health care is needed. People on welfare, students, and others whose incomes fall below a certain level, are eligible for assistance in paying their OHIP premiums. No one is excluded for lack of money, but you must apply for such premium assistance. Benefits include: physicians' services - standard ward hospital accommoda- tion • X-rays - laboratory tests - drugs required in hospital a operating and delivery rooms a radiotherapy - chiropractic, osteopathic, and chiropo- dist services - eye examinations - occupational therapy a physiotherapy speech therapy • nursing and medical care in nursing homes and homes for the aged - Home Care service - ambulance • certain dental surgery. Payments may cover costs entirely or only in part, depending on the nature of the claim. But remember: Membership in the Ontario Health Insurance Pian is not automatic — you have to apply for it. And be sure to carry your identification card or OHIP number at all times. If you would like more information, visit any OHIP district office.

My inunefttre reaction was "So What Else is New." I con- sider oo-sider the statment to be a partisan opinion rather than a position taken after careful consideration of the issues as they affect the needs of the Canadian people. A newspaper has in its handsan influential tool that requires it to be most vigilant about expression of opinion I have serious doubts about the intellectual integrity governing the statement 1 fed compelled therefore to change this newspaper. I would like to have the newspaper's reasons for supporting the Conservative party more specifically. I would like to enter into a debate with you in the following manner. We would each prepare statements, apps^tlecimately 500 words, on the following issues. 1. - Inflation, cost of living and housing 2. - Management and labour dispute and the strike weapon 3. - Foreign ova ership 4. - Unemployment insurance and welfare 5. - rebutta 1 Your statement and mine could be carried simultaneously in consecutive issues of the paper. Readers could be invited to submit opinions. I feel this debate could lead to some stimulating political discussion. I await with interest tosee if you are willing to present your reasoning to public scrutiny. Yours s incerely, Alban C. Ward, Vice -President On tarioSouth Riding, New Democratic Pa rty.

TODAY'S HEALTH Lice an for that lousy feeling! by David Woods Next time you tell your doctor you feel lorry he may take you at your word, and start examining your scalp. Health workers are encountering Increasing numbers of people with head lice infestation — a condition they call pediculosis. Durham Re- gional Health Unit dealt with 1,300 cases in the past year, mainly among School -children. Children are especially suscep- tible to pediculosis because they're herded together more than adults, and it's a highly contagious prob- lem. But it doesn't tarry the threat of disease — and it has nothing to do with dirt. If you're in contact with pediculosis, chances are you'll get it. Unless you're bald. Parents of the child with lice often react indignantly. Somehow they think the condition is a reflec- tion of standards of hygiene in the home. In fact, there's very little they an contribute to cause or cure. But they can learn to recognize the condition, to report it — and to co-operate with the health team. The nits (eggs) are whitish, oval- shaped and tiny. They cling to the hair shafts; unlike dandruff, they keep on clinging. That's why the person with lice needs medical help. The nit iatcbes in about a week, and the resulting louse lives for about a mondL He (or she) is about one sixth of as inch long. Obviously, it's important not to delay treatment. This consists of applying special shampoos, us -s a very fine-toothed comb, and rinsing the hair in a water and vinegar solation. Thurs. May 30th, 1974 THE POST Page 9 Treatment must be thorough to avoid the possibility of reinfesta- tion. If someone in the family is found to have pediculosis, all bedding, brushes and combs, mat- tresses, pillows, and clothing (par- ticularly headgear) should be care- fully cleaned for family protection. Nobody knows why the incidence of head lice is increasing, although some researchers suggest that pedi- culosis occurs in cycles — once every few years. The louse is more an irritation than a health hazard. Not only does it take an hour br so to treat an affected person, but the risk of con- tagion to health workers or family is very high. So while the lice do no actual harm, they're a nuisance, a source of embarrassment — and they're socially unacceptable. Or, at least, the people who have them are. The important thing is to recog- nize them, and this takes careful scrutiny because of the similarity of the nits to dandruff. But if you see or suspect their presence, accept that this is a curable health prob- lem that should receive immediate professional attention — not least because the longer you wait, the more likely it is that the problem will be passed on to others. Pediculosis is one condition where you really do have to start from scratch. David Roods is a former editor of Canadian Family lahysicdan mag - zbw.

The control ingredient has an effectiveness of nearly 100 per- cent. but apply the pre -emer- gent material as directed. 1 find the best preventer is the appli- cation of a 20 pound bag of a proven product like Vigoro Crabgrass Control applied over a 2,000 square foot area, and 1 like to apply half of the bag in one direction and the other half in the opposite di- rection. The time to do this? From mid April to May lis at the latest. I use a rule of thumb expression. When the lilacs are to bloom, apply the pre -emergent crabgrass con- trol because the soil has warm. ed and seeds are going to ter- minate. The reason you use 'his product is to control those zeds that arc dust waiting for warm soil. The crabgrass con. trol knocks them deader than a mackcral! They can't germi- nate when the control is there. and the good grasses will have a chance to grow—to fatten out and make a beautiful lawn. You'll have to fertilize as the crahgram control does only ONE lob --that of preventing seeds from germinating. You could, by the combination of products, fertilizer and crah- grass control, do two johs in anc. You'd need 30 pounds of :his combination, but you #ill cover 3.(nx) squire feet of area. In the long run, you arc getting the best control with the least amount of effort. It can he applied with your sprcader. Potato Eyes Many gardeners will depend on potato eyes to give them a fresh start in potato growing again this spring. Others will use potato eyes for the first time this year, and they will have the surprise of favourable results. - For the gardener wishing to grow a few rows of potatoes for home use or to compare a few varieties, potato eyes are a practical source of seeds. Potatoes fresh from one's own soil always seem to taste bet- ter, besides which. fresh. early potatoes are relatively high in ascorbic acid (Vitamin C). Freshly harvested new pota- toes are the gourmets delight —they have a flavour all their own. I like the taste of fresh, home grown new potatoes. They do taste better. Potato eyes are supplied only by approved seed firms whose chief business is selling seeds. The shipper certifies the quality of the product and each package has the official label of the Department of Agriculture attached. Potato eyes do better when they are planted in rows about 20 feet long and to a depth of three inches (hilled). A sandy soil produces the best results —and a side dressing with Pink Vigoro will feed them well when tops appear. They'll have to be sprayed for insect control, but there are many good potato dusts available at the seed house where you pur- chased the "eyes". If you have any gardening questions, please write to me at the Garden Information Centre, 165 University Avenue, Toronto, Ontario, M51-1 3118 enclosing a stamped and self- addressed envelope. COMING!

In 1972, according to statistics, 97,000 people were involved in traffic accidents in Ontario. Of these, 2,000 men, women and children have died. That is equivalent to the population of Cannington, Rama and almost half the papulation of the Village of Pickering — being completely wiped out. Research studies have found that token usage of lap and shoulder belts would reduce traffic fatalities by half. Think of it! One thousands people would be alive today in this province had they been wearing their seatbelts. Legislation is being considered to make the wearing of seat belts compulsory by law. It is a controversial proposal. One that some people say involves invasion of privacy and in- terference with personal freedoms. They feel it should be their option to gamble injuries in a crash. The logic behind this argument is simply faulty. Highways built with the taxpayers' money are public property. The government, to protect the best interests of the people has the authority and duty to see that these public highways are safe for everyone. Once a person sits behind the wheel of a car he has the responsibility of driving with due regard for the safety of others. If he is wearing a seat belt during emergency maneuvers he will remain behind the wheel and thus, have some control over the car. Therefore, being less of a danger to pedestrians and other road users. Most importantly though, is that people needlessly killed or injured impose unnecessary burdens on many public institutions — hospitals, police and rue departments to name a few. In many cases extra burdens are placed on the family, in some cases per- manent burdens. Being absent from work for any period of time imposes additional burdens to your fellow employees. All car owners share the cost through higher insurance rates. Welfare costs increase. The point is that it is simply untrue to say non -weaning of a seat belt is an individual's right affecting no one but himself. Mather argument concerning seat belts is that they can trap the occupant in a burning or submerged car. The statistics show no basis for this fear. Less than one percent of all serious accidents are followed by fire or submersion. Furthermore, the risk of entrapment inside a burning car is directly related to the degree of injury suffered by the oc- cupant. A belted occupant is far more likely to remain conscious and thus able to make a speedy escape from the car. The sa me case can be made for submersion. I n Ontario during 1972 not one belted driver died as a result of being tapped in a burning car. And with the seat belt legislation there is at least one very important precedent — Australia. If we achieved a similar level of safety belt usage in Ontario to that existing in Australia, vehicle occupant fatalities and injuries would decrease by 59%. The direct annual savings in medical and death casts that would result from this decrease would be approximately $59 million. Many countries have followed Australia's example. New Zealand, France, Spam, Israel, Czechoslovakia and many other western European countries now have laws enforcing the wearing of seat belts. At least 22 U.S. States are currently considering similar legislation. All of these countries have indicated that enforcement of the law has not been a problem. Most people are, by nature, law- abiding. Of a random sample of roughly 950 Ontario drivers, 82 percent said they would obey a law requiring the wearing of lap and shoulder belts. If such a law were to be enforced in Ontario, I feel programs providing public information should be mounted with the aim of making people aware of the traffic safety problem. There are 3 million passenger cars in Ontario and in 1972 the death rate increased by 9.3 percent. Please fasten your safety belts. It is a small price to pay for your life.
