ern safety highway which would pro-
vide basis of experience and fact in
developing sound legislation and more
uniform and efficient practice thru
out the nation. At the same time,
such highway would aid in crystall-
izing an informed public opinion and
would set up a reasonable standard
of safety with which the American
motorist should expect to be provided.
This was my purpose in developing
the Maryland Highway Safety Plan
ming Council with it's proposal of US
ing this same highway as Safety
Educational Highway incorporating
all practical aids to safety through
construction as well as proper patrol
and point of hazard education of
both motorists and pedestrians.
II am deeply interested in this
problem and am, in the main, in
hearty endorsement of your resolu-
ton. 1 also personally and as Gov
ernor of Maryland, welcome the A
merican Legion as a most valuable
and effective agency to join with US
in accomplishing protection of life
and property upon our highways"

step in obtaining positive action. We
believe that the proposal not only
merits the endorsement Of our neigh
bors, the Department of the District
of Columbia of the American Legion,
but also, because the project is of real
national interest, that it might well
receive the support of cher Depart
ments of the Legion. The idea is so
fundamental that similar model light
ed highways could be developed in
every state"

eve feel that a detailed study of
the fine existing accident records kept
by Sgt. Brubaker should be made
prior to the modernization of the
highway, and that following modern
izatioh, a detailed accident survey
should be continued and publicized. In
this way, it will be possible for driv
ers and pedestrians to learn the ex-
tent to which a modern thoroughfare

NATIONAL MODEL
OF TRAFFIC SAFETY
FOR BOULEVARD

Bruce T. Bair, Commander of the
Department of Maryland OF the A
merican Legion, announced today that
supplementing its recent proposal, the
Department of Maryland has passed
a formal resolution recommending
the development of the Baltimore
washington Highway as National
Model of Traffic Safety"
Regarding the proposal, which
would modernize the boulevard ex-
tending from Baltimore to the nation
al capital, Commander Bair said' The
Legion in Maryland has long recog-
nized the seriousness OF the tra11lc
accident problem, not only within the
confines of our own district, but also
in relation to the nation as whole.
We are convinced that our proposal
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1938-07-01

Commander Bair, in explaining the
choice of highway, said Aside from
the very natural local interest we
have in it, the Baltimore Washington
Highway, because it leads to and from
the national capital, transcends pure
ly local significapce. 1t is the one
major highway in the country that
would attract the attention and inter-
est of people in every state and town
in the land. In addition to this i'm
portant advantage, it is a typical
main artery, carrying very heavy
traffic and having an unusually high
accident experience. For years, the
many improvements of which it is in
need have been recommended. On the
81 miles of the boulevard from Balti-
more County Line to the District of
Columbia line, just 81 people were
killed in 1887, or one person for every
mile.
"At the present time there exist a.
mong the states different practices
and different recommendations for
promoting greater safety on the high
way, yet there exists nowhere in the
country any one highway to which
the public or their representatives
can turn, or upon which their atten-
ton can be focused, as representing
the consensus of scientific opinion and
the most advanced practice in provid-
ing maximum safety, comfort and
convenience for present day motor
travel.
eff our recommendation is carried
out, this great need will have been
met in practical way. The Balti-
more Washington Highway will in
corporate, as far as practical, the
most modern methods in road design
and construction, traffic planning and
control, and will be provided with
personnel for adequate patrol and en-
forcement. We are aware that due to
the limitations of right-of-way and
finances that it is impossible to en-
vision divided highway with clover
leaf underpasses, etc., at every cross
ing. However, much can be done econ
omically to stop the horrible accident
experience that exists on the highway
today.
Because 26 of the 81 fatalities on
the Baltimore Washington Boulevard
happened after dark, we believe that
one of the most important and abso-
lutely essential improvements will be
the installation of modern safety
lighting along its entire course. We
have at the present time adequate sta
tistics to prove the need for lighting,
no further study is necessary, and
such worthwhile move towards mod
ernization could be made immediate

He doesn't believe In scrimmage
