SIX CASES. HEARRIN 20 IL
CIRCUIT COURB IN WEIGH
Emory Firestine Sues A. NJ. Tay-
lOr, Driver Of Truck, for In
juries Suffered in Highway
Accident ~

Six cases were brought up for
disposal at Mondays session of
Circuit court in Mcdowell co.,
Judge Thomas HE'S. Curd pref
siding with two cases being con-
tinued, one declared nonsuit,
and damages awarded to the
plaintiffs in three eases.
The case of Jessie Twitty VS..
the Consolidated Bus Lines was
continued. The case of Arthur
c. Cridelle vs.. the Walton Sud-
duth company. ct al, was set for
Wednesday. Non-suit was de-
clared in the case of Jacob
Shore VS.. Ruth Runyon. In this
case the plaintiff sought to
collect damages for notes, which
he endorsed for the defendant.
After the evidence was heard,
the defense took non-suit on the
grounds that tn action had been
entered prematurely.
Emory Pristine, WPA worker
who was injured last spring in
truck wreck between Welch
and Jaeger, was awarded $4,000
damages from A. M. Taylor,
driver of the truck. The accident
occurred on a slippery road, the
truck sliding into a large boulder
and throwing the group of
workers into the air and over
the river bank. Two weee killed
and several others were injured
including Firestine, who sought
damages for these injuries.
Alex Mayhem was awarded
damages of $472.96 from J. Ed
Blakely in a suit which grew out
of the plaintiffs seeking to col
lect damages on a note endorsed
for the defendant. Damages of
81 ,098.02 were awarded to Sam
Solins assignee, in a suit against
Sam Coins.

and winter, motoring presents
new and difficult hazards. There
will be no time for standing
still, until December 81 has pass
ed and the figures are all in.
A saving of 3,670 lives is a
magnificent thing. And it shows
that traffic accdets, the pessi-
mists to the contrary, can be
sharply reduced. During the
first half of this year, there was
more and better organized COM
munity and state safety work
than ever before. We have
gradually learned that sporadic
safety campaigns solve no prob
lem, and that permanence and
continuity of effort are vital.
We are learning what courteous,
"fixless law enforcement can
do. And we are also learning the
excellent results that follow
better traffic engineering and
scientific traffic control.
You're one of the soldiers in
this fight against death. The
country needs your help. Keep
up the good work-and make it
still better.

GAINING ON DEATH

During the first six months Of
this year, $3.50 automobile
deaths were prevented in this
country! That was based on a
comparison of motor vehicle
deaths in the first half of 1888
as against the same period of
1887. The decline in fatalities
that began last November car
ried through encouragingly in
to July.
SO far so good. But, as the Ma
tional Safety Council points out,
This is no time to quit in onr
fight for safety. This is Just the
beginning" We have won a
par a victory. Unremitting
effort on the part of every
m o t orr $ t, pedestrian traffic
Judge and law enforcement ofFic-
or is needed if the victory is to
ultimately complete.
Some Of the most dangerous
driving months lie ahead. Traffic
during September is always
heavy. And with the coming of
