Sc Die in July Accidents
as Traffic Toll Increases

Traffic death struck with unusual
ferocity among the ranks of Mime
sofa motorists during July.
Fifty-siX fatalities, an increase of
exactly 33 1-3 per cent over the AZ
recorded in the same month of 1910,
have already been reported to the
State Highway department. And the
months toll almost certainly will be
still further increased as other VIC
tins, now MANNED and fighting for
life in hospital beds, succumb to their
injuries.
Only six of the reported deaths were
pedestrians. But motor vehicle drivers
and their helpless passengers wrote in
red with their own blood an accident
record which was as grim as the ped
estrian record was encouraging.
The wave of slaughter started with
II killed over the July 4th weekend
and, as if carried on by it's momentum
recklessly swept the highways of the
state, leaving misery and sorrow in its
wake.
The Sc July fatalities resulted from
only AZ traffic accidents, six of which
caused multiple deaths. Fifty-four
drivers were involved, and 80 of these,
or more than $50, were in violation of
the traffic laws at the time the acct
dents occurred. Of the six pedestrians
killed, four were violating traffic regu-
lations.
Speed too great for conditions and
riding the center-line or trying to pass
without a clear sght-distance ahead
were the principal causes of motor
vehicle collisions between two or more
motor vehicles. Sixteen of them were
non-collision accidents, generally due
to the driver of the car running off the
road.
Twelve drivers whose recklessness
contributed to the months loss of
human life were definitely known to
have been travelling at excessive speeds.
Eight more were on the wrong side of
the road. The other 10 whose disre-
gard for law contributed to the score
card of July fatalities were committing
such offenses as running through stop
signs, disobeying signals, failing to
make proper turns, driving with i'm
proper and unsafe equipment, etc.
Twenty of the so motorists killed
during July met death at the steering
wheel-in other words guided their
own destinies into tragedy. But 80 of
the victims were passengers who had
placed their lives and safety in the
hands of others, and were themselves
helpless to avert the tragedy.
Thrty-five of the drivers who
brought death to themselves or to
passengers accompanying them, met
tragedy in their own home counties,
on roads with which they were fam
liar. Only IL involved in fatal ac-
cidents were outside their home coun-
ties, and seven were from outside the
state

SAFE DRIVING
BY Douglas Nankervis
Chief Of Police.
SAVE LIVES
PLEA FOR AUGUST

FLEA FUN ADJUST
This week an emergency call went to
all citizens Of the state to cooperate
in curbing motor vehicle accidents
during the month of August.
Last year August was one of the
worst months in the states history
from the standpoint of traffic
deaths. This August may be
equally as terrifying in deaths and
injuries-unless something is done.
During the first six months of 1871
the state was setting a national record
in saving lives on the highways, Basil
L. Walters, chairman of the Mime
sofa Editorial associations Save 100
Lives Committee, states.
Then something happened. The
slaughter on the states roads became
terrific, death and injury.
Motorists too often view catapulting
cars, head-On collisions, and crack ups
of various kinds from an impersOnaI
standpoint. They feel secure in the
belief that "this can't happen to me-"
Such an attitude is responsible for
many accidents, because it robs the
driver of the very elements that may
keep him out of mishaps.
Let me tell you that it definitely
"can happen to you" Only you may
not be alive afterward to realize the
folly of your ways.
