 VIII To Safety
 Tt Is proof of one thing chiefly" Mfr. Steele said, "that safety Is . matter of mind, of education, and not of compulsion.

ty-FOur In Delaware.
SEASONAL HAZARDS

Murder on our Delaware high
ways is reaching such alarming pro-
portions that It constitutes one Of
the most serious problems confront
ing our citizenry today, according to
the Delaware Safety Council. For
the first ten months of this year no
less than an average Of IA persons
have met untimely deaths due to un-
safe practices on our streets and
highways. The total number Of au-
tocides for the year to date is "a.
This compares with 55 for the cor
responding period Of last year, leav-
ing a fatality increase Of I9. Even
the increased automobile registra-
ton and greatly increased gasoline
tax receipts fail to provide an AIDE
quate explanation for the increase.
If the present fatality trend contin-
ues to the end Of the year a conser-
vative estimate of Delaware auto
cides win be beyond the 100 mark
which will establish an all-time
high. In view of this estimate it is
interesting to note the fatality fig
ures for the past years: 1931-77;
1925; I933-79; 1885; 1885,
