STATE SAFETY
COUNCIL NEWS
Drunken Drivers Menace To
Highway Traffic; Officers
Arrest Them
NUMBER LOSE LICENSE

About a year ago the drinking
driver emerged as prominent fig
ure in what has been for many
years an appalling picture of
death, injury and suffering on our
according to the Della
ware Safety Council. True, he was
there before but repeal has
brought him out in sharp relief and
a Nation that stands aghast at the
rapidly rising death toll is asking
why he cannot be eliminated from
the scene. The question is more
easily asked than answered. To
keep the proper perspective the
National Safety Council reminds
the reader that despite the increase
in earlier articles and
despite the spotlight of public at
tention that is thrown on them,
drinking drivers and drunken pc
destrians constitute but one of the
several factors that must be con-
sidered. Speed, inattention, me-
chanical defects and other things
are still major problems which yet
remain unsolved. However, the
fact that drunken driving has been
increasing sharply all over the
country, that incomplete statistics
show that alcohol is a factor in
some z to 10 per cent of all driver
and pedestrian accidents and that
there is strong evidence that the
actual percentage is considerably
higher, it certainly justifies some
anxiety about its place in the traf-
fic accident picture.
Education will undoubtedly play
a big part in the ultimate control
of the problem. But education is
a long, slow process. The reader
weapon is enforcement. AS this
means of attack is at present far
from perfect it is along this line
that the biggest fight is being
waged.
What we need is a more depend
able enforcement program. A pro-
gram that is impartial with no
"fix". We need enforcement that
will command public respect so
that the drivers will know in ad-
vance if he drinks alcohol and be-
comes involved in a motor vehicle
crash while at the wheel there will
be no escape from fitting punish
ment, with strong likelihood of a
jail sentence and the loss of the
use of his automobile. The best
enforcement weapon is revocation
or suspension of the drivers lie
ense. This can be applied with lit
tie formality on reasonable evil
dence of improper driving, without
the social stigma of Jail sentence
or the economic burden of a heavy
fine, yet it means real punishment
for the offender and complete pro-
lection for society. Legislation
and educational efforts must be re-
doubled, for in the final analysis
good enforcement must be sup
ported by good laws and must be
backed by public opinion.

"No, thanks, I must fly home

"Good-by Irene, and thanks

Helen stumbled out Of the
car. Not until she was in her
own suite, hidden from every
one, did she sink trembling
into a chair.
She was in a panic. Oh,
what a frost she was! She
was tongue-tied, stupid. Every

Tears of misery and fright

could hide away somewhere.
She felt so miserable that she
undressed and crawled under
the covers in their big double
bed. She cried softly into the
pillow until, weary and ex-
hauSted, she fell asleep.
When she awoke it was six
o'clock and with a bound she
was out of bed. Walter would
be home in half an hour. He
must never know she was a
social failure-at least she
wouldn't tell him. He'd find
out soon enough from them.
But she wouldn't SWIVEL. She'd
say she enjoyed it.

DRY of that awful night when he

Mrs. Tyrrell, and it wasn't five
minutes before Helen perceived
that her outfit was all wrong.
Irene wore a startling dress of
black and white and a small

one eye. She looked exotic, ar.
