WITH WARMER weather keeping roads wet,
and colder nights freezing the water to black
ice, car accidents have risen dramatically. In-
quiring reporter asks people if they think
drivers should take responsibility for accidents
or if the municipalities or highway pzivols
should take the responsibility, due to the
dangerous conditions. Today's question is:

Who should take blame
for black ice accidents?

Dorothy Dixon
North Vancouver

I'd say it should be 50-50.
I think the city could put
more salt on streets and
some drivers are careless
— they should be more
prepared.

Dan Storms
North Vancouver

I'd say a little bit of both.
They should salt street
and drivers should drive a
little slower for the con-
ditions.

Peggy Yelland
North Vancouver

I think to some exten: it's
the drivers responsibility
to go more slowly. It
would be nice if the city
knows in advance and
can salt the streets. But
snow tires don't help.

June Johnstone
West Vancouver

It’s the responsibility of
the driver. It’s extremely
hard for municipality to
keep up on things.

Maral Minassian
Bowen Island

The municipality should
be responsible because
they’re supposed to take
care of the maintenance
of the roads.

Today,
We're Investing

In A Real
_ Growth Industry!

The governments of Canada and British Columbia have signed a 5-year
forest partnership agreement that will see an additional $300 million
invested in intensive management and reforestation programs for B.C.’s
number one resource.

This unique partnership recognizes that our forests are a multiple-use
resource, one providing ever increasing recreational potential and a sound
and competitive base for B.C.’s forest products industry.

And, with this additional federal-provincial commitment to enhancing
our forests and economic potential, a record 200 million seedlings will be
planted annually by 1987. Throughout British Columbia, this agreement
means jobs now, and a healthy productive future for a real growth industry.

Minister of Forests Minister of State, (Forestry)
