A letter to The Midland Journal
from Enoch B. Carey, Superintend-
emit of Md. State Police, relative to
the Inauguration of safety cam
paign," says in part:
This reckless vicious driving
that's going on in the streets and
highways of the State we must con-
stantly keep hammering at. 1t must
not be a sporadic effort, but sus-
tanned one.
you of the press, 1 think, have
done more than your share. We
need your continued helpfulness
You are showing the way to others
likewise, to be helpful, and the thing
will never be licked until all of the
civilian agencies are cooperating
with enforcement, judicial, and other
agencies.

marks made Aug. IL, at our little

per cent of these accidents were
caused by carelessness and inatten-

highways. Their helpfulness in
curbing this slaughter on our Mary
land roads is greatly appreciated,
and am most hopeful they will con-
tinue their splendid activities and
cooperation.
So, with this thought in mind, to
correct this inattention and careless
ness, this needless waste of human
lives, / called upon Mr.. Paul Hoff-
man, the chairman of the Highway
Safety Committee of the Automobile
Manufacturers Association, for sug-
gestions and recommendations.
You see here his response. These
three safety cars, loaned by him to
our State Police, will tour Maryland
in an educational safety campaign
a campaign designed solely to jar
the thoughtless motorist out of his
lethargy-to make him realize hui
man lives depend upon his alertness
and courtesy. l say courtesy be-
cause a courteous driver is good
driver and is paying attention to the
fact that he is operating two-ton
vehicle, that, in an instant, can be-
come an engine of destruction.
Mr.. Hoffman has also loaned us
Mr.. Cliff Bergere, famous Indianapo-
lis Race Driver, who, though one of
the safest drivers in the country, will
demonstrate the mistakes committed
by the careless and thoughtless
driver that are the causes of most
fatal accidents.
These same demonstrations that
our State Police will enact over the
whole State of Maryland, are the
same ones that have proven such a
marked success in New York, Phila-
delphia, Richmond, Norfolk, and
other cities.
l am confident that these demon
strations Of the wrong" way to
drive will impress our motorists to
such an extent that the accident rate
and fatalities will show a drastic
decrease.
