REDUCE ACCIDENTS
A Vigilance Committee to Pre-
vent Death and Injury
5000 DEATHS LAST YEAR

A movement has, been launched in
this State for the purpose of reducing
the toll of death and injury from pre-
ventable accide ITS. A number of inn
portant committees have been formed
and are now at work in the city of Will
mington. and steps are being taken to
extend the movement into Kent and
Sussex Counties. and rural New Castle.
1t is planned to enter into a campaign
of education that will include lodges,
societies and the schools. Public spirit
ed men and women will be appointed
members of q Vigilance Committee
TO report reckless motor car drivers.
Such . acommittee has been 4appeistsd
and is already at work in the city Of
Wilmington. where there was pressing
need for such activity. No member Of
the Vigilance Committee knows any
other member. Each reports by num-
Der. In this way violators Of traffic
rules are under surveillance all hours Of
the day and night, and already good
work has been accomplished by these
means. In Wilmington School Com
mittee. a Committee for Drafting Or
dinances, a'Trafic Committee, Sta
tistics Committee and other committees
are at work.
There is to-day q countrywide de-
mand for saving the lives and limbs of
American men, women and children.
According to statistics there were 5s,-
600 accidental deaths on the streets and
highways, and in the homes of this
country last year. Fifteen thousand
children of school age were among this
number. There were approximately
10000 persons killed by automobiles
and motor trucks. Although there are
no exact figures in hand to show \ell the
fatalities due to preventable accidents
that occur in Delaware each year, the
investigation has gone far enough to
make it certain that this State suffers
its full pro rata loss. Therefore, in \re-
sponse to the public need and in lime
