A spokesman for the Council voiced disagreement with the recently reported statement by Dr, Robertson of the U.S. based Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Robertson had said, after curb-side visual surveys, thal the seat belts were “not -a_ long-term panacea’’.. Philip J. Farmer, Executive Director of the Safely Council said ‘“‘Any curb-side survey of seat belt use must invariably be inferior to proper checks conducted by the govern- ment. Air bags are costly, to the extent of several hun- dred dollars, yet tests have indicated they still require the: supplementary use of lap belts for protection against side, corner, or roll- over crashes." He also noled that the Insurance Institute had long been aggressively promoting the use of air bags m the United States. The Council drew at- tention to a quote from another U.S. _ safety organization, (The Highway Safely Research Institute) which stated “‘On the basis of’ existing evidence, it would he unwise to require the Installation of air-bag systems in new vehicles...(which) could not scientific m hope to achieve more than could be achieved through the use of the existing lap- kh} system.” Rag torso belt “The fact that in Ontario alone, one life per day is being saved over last year's figures for the first quarter speaks for itself, ‘says Phil Farmer, “and the latest usage figures coming of- ficially from the Ontario ff Government show a rate of 66 per cent with virtually no & remaining opposition.” - Pacific Rim consultant appointed The Department of- Econonie Development announced recently one in a series of steps to enhance British Columbia's trade position on the Pacific Rim.
