Rose Urges That

Chapel Hill, Aug. 5.-(AP)-
"Today we find that Gin the name

Gated and surrendered their rights

of the GreenvlIc school and former

address before the opening session OF
the annual Parent-Teachcr institute.
THAT is why there is so much
confusion and lack Of purpose IN

Traffic Toll TO
Be 500 Deaths If
History Repeats

Raleigh, Aug. 6.-UnleSS history
fails to repeat itselG-Or, unless North
CarOlnianS take steps 10 see that 1t
fails to do Su-nearly 500 more men,
women and children are marked Tor
death OH North Carolina streets and
highways before the end OF l94O,
Ronald HUcutt, director Of the High
way Safety Division, declared today.
HocutL based his peSSmiStic pre-
diction on records which show that
for several years past there have
been approximately so per cent more
traffic fatalities in this state the las,
six months Of the year than during
the first six months.
In 1897, for instance, AGA persons
were killed in Ala fatal accidents the
first six months Of the year, and 66l
were killed in SIP fatal acct
dents the iaSt half of the year In
1893, records for the first six months
show 383 killed in 349 fatal accidents,
while 554 were killed in 500 fatal &C
cdents the last halI-year. Last year,
1876 persons were killed in 35l Fatal
accidents during the first six months,
and SAT were killed in 522 fatal &C
cidentS the second six months Of the
year.
During the first six months OF this
year, 1853 persons were killed IN 3li
fatal accidents in North Carolina. On
the basis of past records, fatalities
for the last half Of this year may
exceed those for the first six months
by as much as 80 per cent, which
would mean total approximately
459 street and highway deaths from
July through December 81.
The upward trend has already
started, Hucutt said, accident reports
received by the Safety Division midi
eating that the July traffic death toll
is gong to be the largest Of the year.

BY LYNN NISREI

Raleigh. Aug. 6.-Ihc current de-
tour bulletin. issued by the State
Highway and Public Works Commits
sion. lists 93 construction projects
which to some extent effect traffic.
These 93 projects represent STAB
miles OF construction on improve
mcnt. and five major bridge pro-
iectS. OF course there arc many more
repair and construction Jobs under
way on the states more than ten
thousand miles Of improved high
ways, but those listed in the semi
detuur bulletin are those
which occasion trouble to travellers.
ON nearly half of the 574 miles, or
to be exact ON 279.7 miles of it, tar-
Iic is maintained over the project.
In some instances il is onC-Way traf-
flee. and in others the requirement Is
Ton slow speed and careful driving.
There are 427.2 miles Of detourS
around construction Jobs, 3O2.4 miles
of it over paved roads and l24.8
miles over top soil or dirt roads. 1t
will be noted that if the tour mile
age is added to the mileage over
which traffic is maintained. the re-
suit will be to show 1863, as against
374 miles of main highways under
construction. Tn" difference is eN-
planned by the Tact that frequently

The long time policy Of the high
way commission of dctoul1mg lhro-
ugh traffic over roads as nearly as
possible Ur equal grade with the road
under repair. occasions longer de-
tours than would be necessary. On
the other hand. travellers have found
from experience that they cuncount-
cr less grief by following dcsIgnat-
cd dctulu' routes rather than to seek
some short cut across dirt roads.
