DEPENDABLE Toronto Evening SERVICE LIMITED P.0. Box 119 Phone AD. 0467 In the 366 days of leap year 1948. motor vehicle acc1dentsl killed an average of two persons every day in Ontario. This has happened now for two consecutive years. although. despite 1948's traffic growth, the preliminary count of 729 known dead is J'Uh‘l one percent lower than 1947‘s toll of 734 and about nine percent lower then 1941’s all-time record of 801 lives lost. In view of the long odds against improvement in traffic safe- ty -â€" more drivers. vehicles and visitors to the province, much greater mileage driven and even a larger total number of accidents reported â€" last year’s slight drop in the actual number of deaths represents a greater proportionate drop in death-rates on a basis of either mileage or registration. ,The first six months of the year accounted for the greater portion of last year’s improvement, with the half-year death-toll 10 per cent below that of 1947’s first half. However, this was all but cancelled by increases during heavy July and August traffic, and later by November’s record of multiple-death aCcidents includ- ing a single'bus crash that resulted in the death of seven persons. Once again pedestrians were the greatest sufferers in fatal accidents; passengers made up the next largest group, while dri- vers were the least affected. The vast majority of accidents hap- pened in cleared weather, on good, dry road surfaces, and they involved cars and drivers with no apparent mechanical or physical efects. “Speed too fast for road or traffic conditions” contributed to more accidents than any other driver action reported. In the 1947 municipal elections in Bowmanville, Ontario, 30 "2' of the voters went to the polls. Over the years the turn-out of electors averaged 25%. So when 805; of those eligible to vote came out to cast their ballots in the municipal election held last December 6th, it was obvious that something new had been added. That “something new” was the “Get-Out-the-Vote" campaign put on by the Bowmanville Chamber of Commerce. The Canadian Statesman of Bowmanville, commenting on what is believed t‘o be “the greatest municipal vote in the history of the town," gives chief credit to the Chamber. which “carried the thing through by providing a fleet of cars to haul voters to the polls and really gets credit for the mass voting." 7» _ Though 1948 was a record breaking year which saw the installation of M; er 12,000 new telephones a month, the demand for more telephones and more telephone service continues un- abated. Again, during 1949, we will direct all our efforts to provide the buildings, equipment and personnel required to meet the expressed de- mand for local, long distance and tel- etype service. Today,’with our costs at an all time high, just as they are in,the newsâ€" paper business, we are rather proud that it has not yet been necessary to change the basic telephone rates es- tablished 22 years ago, even though the number of telephones has more than doubled, ' LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE BELL PLANS FOR FUTURE MI. J. E. Smith, Publisher The Liberal, Richmond Hi1], Ont. Dear Mr. Smith: The plans for our 1949 have just been completed We remain convinced that news- paper advertising deserves a large share of the credit for the public un- derstanding of what is being done to provide more telephone service. We plan to continue to advertise in reg- ular daily and weekly newspapers usâ€" ing even more “localized” advertise- ments than in the past to tell our story. ‘ May I thank you for the excellent reproduction of Bell ‘advertisements and for the good position they reg- ularly receive. Your co-operation is greatly appreciated and our agency will be forwarding the 1949 contract to you shortly. POST OFFICE APPRECIATES (‘O-OI‘ERATION OF THE PEOPLE . R. C. Scrivener, Advertising Manager Bell Telephone The Editor, The Liberal. Dear Mr. Smith In reviewing reports from our Postmasters in all parts of Canada on the handling of the "Christmas mails this year, 'I have been deeply impressed by the co-operation exten- ded to the Post Office by the public in mailing early. The Christmas ‘mlail volume was unprecedented in most Offices, ex- ceeding- greatly last year’s record totals Despite this, the fact that the great bulk of this huge quantity of mail was posted before December 20 assured orderly and expeditions hand- lin-g by the augmented staffs we had at work.
