NOVEMBER ACCIDENTS
State Highway Commission
Tell of Number Killed and
Injured During Past Month
on Roads.

During the month of Novem-
her there was a total of 1872 acct
dents on the State Trunk High
ways. There were approximately
444 people involved. The num-
Der of people killed was II; num-
Der seriously injured 30; number
slightly injured 123; number es-
Gaping without injury approx
mately 279.
As reported in previous reports,
the large majority of the acct
dents occur on straight roads.
The railroad crossings, curves,
corners and cross roads kept up
the usual average.
One of the interesting things
noted in this months records is
the fact that IL accidents were
caused by binding lights or no
lights. No doubt the shortening
of the days has made some diff
ference in the number of acct
dents occurring, due TO the fact
that a large number of people
use cars going to and coming
from work and the darkness falls
before they reach home. In many
cases they either fail to turn on
their lights or are not prepared
for the darkness.
In five cases the accidents were
due to the weather conditions
and in five cases the drivers were
reported to be intoxicated.

SEEK TO CHANGE NAME
Organizers of New Resort
Mems Association Claim
Name Chosen is Mislead-
ing-Prize Given.

The following article is being
sent. out from the campaign head
quarters of the Northern WiscOn-
sin Resort Association, whose
headquarters is at Rhinelander,
to all the newspapers in the state,
asking its publication in order to
further the scheme of changing
the name to something more des-
criptive Of the organization. The
article follows:
Rhinelander officials of the
Northern Wisconsin Resort As
ISOLATION want better name for
that organization. Something
broader and more descriptive is
desired. To this end the presi-
dent, William ID. Connor, Jr., of
Laona, has authorized a contest
for a name, and a prize of SIS
viii be given to the person max
ing the best suggestion. Prizes of
SIS and SO will be given for the
second and third best sugges-
lions. Everybody in Northern
Wisconsin is eligible and there
are no conditions attached.
Rules for the contest are now
being prepared and printed. Cop
les will be sent to every newspa-
per in Northern Wisconsin for
free distribution to those inter
ested.
The reason for getting a more
suitable name is due TO the fact
the name Resort Association"
has caused a general misunder-
standing as to its scope. 1t Is
not, as President Connor, himself
lumberman, points out, an or
ganization of resort owners, bpt
one planned to be made up of ev-
cry citizen in Northern Wisconsin
who desires to see this section de
velope in every way through mod
ern methods of organized effort.
The tourist business affords the
greatest opportunity for acquir-
ing new wealth and interesting
new citizens in this section of the
state, but the association will not
stop there. And activity that Is
for the general welfare of the
northern half of the state will be
included in the work of the orga-
nization.
The name of the Minnesota or
ganization, the Ten Thousand
Lakes of Minnesota association,
is a splendid one and Immediately
gives a pleasant picture to the
citizen of another state. A name
is wanted for the Northern Wis
consin association that will be
descriptive of this section or one
that will best state the purposes
of the association.
