its

to

charged
that

would

said
today
he
received
a
telegram
from
the

asking
for
the
meeting
The

seeking

hike
to

rates

NEVER

Road
Commandments
Given
by
Flying
Phil
VICTORIA
CP
Highways
Minister
Gaglardi
who
has
been
convicted
of
traffic
offences
six
times
Thursday
gave
the
legislature
the
following
10
com
commandments
¬
mandments
for
good
driving
1
Every
person
on
this
high-
way
has
the
same
rights
and
privileges
as
I
have
and
may
I
constantly
grant
to
other
driv
drivers
¬
ers
what
I
wish
to
have
granted
to
me
2
If
I
do
not
wish
to
drive
the
posted
safe
speed
limits
may
I
never
in
any
way
restrict
those
who
do
3
Legally
I
may
have
the
right
of
way
but
neither
the
law
nor
being
right
gives
me
any
less
reason
to
do
all
in
my
power
to
avoid
accidents
4
As
a
driver
of
a
larger
vehicle
may
I
never
be
guilty
of
taking
advantage
of
a
driver
of
a
smaller
vehicle
5
May
I
never
exceed
the
abdity
of
the
highway
or
the
capabilities
of
my
vehicle
or
my
own
skill
as
a
driver
6
May
I
never
make
like
the
Lone
Ranger
and
drive
aimless
aimlessly
¬
ly
as
a
lane
changer
7
Never
be
a
tail
gater
this
is
a
prelude
to
an
accident
maker
8
Never
accelerate
a
vehicle
when
being
passed
accidents
come
easy
enough
without
in
creasing
the
ppssibility
9
A
drinking
driver
is
the
highways
most
dangerous
haz
hazard
¬
ard
May
the
value
of
a
human
life
mean
more
to
me
than
a
drink
10
May
courtesy
be
my
high
highest
¬
est
objective
when
I
take
the
wheel
of
my
vehicle
The
minister
said
something
along
these
lines
might

tion
among
drivers
as

of
an
education
program

the
number
of

acci
accidents

Mr
Gaglardi
used
a
number
of
statistics
to
back
up
argu
arguments

ments
for
more
education
of
the
driving
public

said
The

A

natural

pulation
increase
was
record
recorded
¬
ed
in
the
Cariboo
Health
Unit
area
in
1961
The
figure
determined
by
subtracting
the
number
of
deaths
from
the
births
was
disclosed
in
a
portion
of
the
health
units
annual
report
re
released
¬
leased
today
by
Assistant
Director
Dr
Vivian
Baker
297
DEATHS
There
were
2261
births
and
297
deaths
in
the
health
unit
aica
which
takes
In
a
large
portion
of
Central
BC
rough
roughly
¬
ly
from
the
Pino
Pass
to
Williams
Lake
and
from
Mc
Bride
to
Burns
Lake
While
the
birth
rate
for
BC
and
Canada
dropped
in
1961
said
Dr
Baker
it
is
up
in
this
area
The
2264
births
of
which
1130
were
in
Prince
George
were
up
58
from
I960
The
natural
population
in
increase
¬
crease
In
19C0
was
289
per
thousand
nearly
double
the
average
provincial
figure
of
16
per
thousand
but
this
years
per
thousand
increase
had
not
been
determined
since
population
figures
were
not
yet
available
It
was
expected
that
con
consistent
¬
sistent
with
recent
years
the
natural
population
increase
hero
would
exceed
duy
area
in
North
Amciicu
and
most
in
the
world
Once
again
the
number
of
male
deaths
was
almost
double
that
of
females
with
196
males
and
101
females
consistent
with
the
experience
of
past
years
There
are
two
main
teasuns
stated
Dr
Baker
a
higher
incidence
of
accidents
among
males
and
the
much
higher
proportion
of
elderly
males
lesident
in
the
area
Leaning
causes
of
death
of
those
over
one
year
old
were
heart
and
blood
vessels
dis

23
others

The
balance
of
52
made
up
of
infants
under
one
year
showed
an
infant
mortality
rate
in
1961
of
23
per
1000
live
births
compared
to
231
in
I960
41
ACCIDENTS
Car
mishaps
and
drownings
accounted
for
22
of
the
41
deaths
attributed
to
accidental
causes
Others
included
five
suicides
five
killed
in
plane
crashes
and
nine
attributed
to
homicide
fire
alcohol
and
firearms
Seven
of
the
41
accidental
deaths
were
females
Aver
Average
¬
age
age
of
those
dying
by
accident
was
31
ranging
from
an
average
age
of
15
by
drowning
to
58
by
suicide
Its
noteworthy
that
all
five
suicides
were
by
men
the
report
stated
and
four
of
these
were
over
60
Six
of
the
seven
suicides
in
1960
were
men
Only
one
death
was
directly
ascribed
to
alcohol
in
1961
said
Dr
Baker
but
there
is
little
doubt
It
was
a
contribu
contributory
¬
tory
factor
in
a
number
of
others
Eight
cases
of
accidental
poisonings
were
reported
to
health
officials
in
1961
com
pared
to
23
the
previous
jcar
This
apparent
decrease
is
al
almost
¬
most
certainly
due
in
part
to
a
smaller
proportion
being
reported
he
added
All
the
poisonings
involved
children
from
nine
months
to
three
years
of
age
None
was
fatal
All
but
one
of
the

accidents

other
