MAKE OUR TOWN sAFEl

During 1886. traffic deaths and ac.
ciGents reached new highs. Yet g
| number of cities and towns manag-
ed to lower casualties in spite of the
general trend. Six of these cities, in
different population brackets, were
the winners of the Fifth National
Traffic Safety Contest conducted by
the National Safety Council.
The Council has now published
outlines of the programs pursued by
these communities. The. program of
the smallest town receiving a prize,
Wilmette, Illinois. is of exceptional
interest, in that 1t could be pursued,
in a modified or enlarged manner,
by practically every community in
America.
Wilmette reduced its accident
deaths exactly 100 per cent-from
three in 1885 to none in 1936-and
its injuries 81 per cent. II adopted
the following plan:
Law enforcement was strict-ar-
rests tOtaled l52 in 1896 as against
81 the preceding year. Magistrate
ana prosecutor coOpefated vigorous
ly. High school students convicted of
dangerous driving were fined" by
making them write theses ON safe
ty.
Traffic checks were made periOdi-
cally, and when necessary streets
were widened and resurfaced. All
members of the police force attend
ed classes in accidetn prevention.
The village conducted a drivers
safety school in cooperation with
three other nearby villages. The po-
lice department was kept free from
one had pull"
Extensive accident prevention
work was carried on consistently in
schools.
Here is a synopsis of the kind of
safety program that produces re-
suits. No community is too small TO
follow the principles laid down, in
an effective manner. Let's make Onr
