I see II is the high ambition OF
the National Safety Council to pre-
vent the large number Of deaths
which occur each day in this coun-
Try through automobile accidents.
Statistics now place auto deaths at
one every IS minutes. Think OF IT,
Twice an hour we have death.
Start this morning. While you
were eating breakfast some one
t6RRs killed. probably in a horrible
tnanner, either crushed to death
instantly or injured so badly the
u tim fingered in the direst OF
pain for several hours. Then you
started strengthening up the house
and before you had the beds made
somebody else vas killed An auto
ran over a steep bank onto sharp
rocks below. or fell into the river
or smashed into a tree. You're beg
cling me to desIst, know. shant
do It. Eight times in the morning
a man, woman or child suffered
sudden and thoroughly inexcusable
death through auto accident. Can
yoA realize this? Then the after
noon begins and you have scarce
" washed the lunch dishes until
another human goes to the scrap
pile. You try to read. Two more
have died. Before you have pre-
pared dinner, eight more have gone
the way of the dead into unknown
lands suddenly hurled without time
ko3think it out. r here remains SeF
eral hours after dinner. And c4Ch
hour sees some home in this D!g
country robbed OF an Important
member--a father. mother or 1T
tie child Have 20: had enough !
Well, then, doesn't it seem rs
though SO much wrrtChed disastet
could be avoided if every automo-
bile owner were superlativcly care
full every moment his car was on
the highway. Don't we have ac-
ctdents by the hundred which are
cAuBed by carelessncss. DO we
have TO permit young boys with
scant. experience to drive our cars
Shall young girls, giddy and
thoughtIess drive recklessly? Mast

so many years ago We had a ter
rible accident near tairmont due
entirely to the fact that a new
driver gloried in turning sharp
curve around a pretty hill like this
bang! -boom!--whiZL! 1t was
lots Of fun and he'd done it before.
Just once beforehand there was
difference in curves. This one was
plain right ankle without frills
though it had plenty Of thrills. We
don't know how enjoyable that
whiEs-bang was because the fellow
who tried it, along with several
others, isn't in this fair land OF
ours any more. I wonder II we all
couldn't help bring down that one
every-35-minute record.
