SOME SAFETY RECORDS

In a nationwide traffic safety contest
for 1910, in which all 48 states and 1921
cities participated, awards were announced
a few days ago by the National Safety
Council The board of judges was headed
by Thomas H. Macdonald, commissioner
of the u s. public roads administration.
Connecticut had the best safety record
among the states, while Kansas City, Mo-,
and Dallas, Tex, tied for safety honors
among the cities. Other states winning
highest awards in their respective geo.
graphical groups were Oklahoma, Mime
sofa and Oregon. Other cities standing
highest in their respective population
groups were Washington, ID. c., Chatta-
nooga, Tenn, Lakewood, o., WATERFOWL,
NJ. Y, and La Grange, I'll.
An exceptional achievement, to which
the judges called particular attention, was
that of La Grange, Ill.,. 10,416 population,
which went through both 1889 and 1910
without single motor vehicle traffic death.
AS the judges pointed out, this record IS all
the more remarkable because La Grange Is
suburb of Chicago and has to contend
with heavy metropolitan traffic in addition
TO that which would ordinarily be en-
countered in a city of its size.
Among the towns safety efforts COM
mended by the judges were the mainten-
ance of IL policemen devoting full time to
traffio duty, safety patrols in every school
ard safety material supplied to all teach
ers. and the whole-hearted cooperation of
the local weekly newspaper, the La Grange
Citizen. of which W. w. LOOMS, former
president of the National Editorial Associa-
ton. is editor.

HOW MANY TOURISTS?

Now that Florida's tourists are fairly
ming at least to pack their bags, it's about
time for the annual crop of returns from
the states resorts on how many visitors
were there, how long they stayed and what
they spent.
For the statisticians. it's game where
4 good bit of skill and about an equal
mount of guesswork have to be considered
before anyone puts the numbers in his book
as official Nevertheless, it's good game,
and since the Florida Hotel Mems associa-
ton has started it it is interesting to make
a stab at seeing how Key West came out.
The hotel men, in a report published
from Tallahassee, estimated that about g.
100000 tourists visited Florida during the
tourist season of 1940-41. At the rate of
SIS per day. per person, the hotel report IN
dcates that the state was enriched by
tourist trade of about $445, 100000, the
figure based on an average stay OF little
more than 80 days, per tourist.
Based on the usual conception of the
Florida season, which includes the latter
half Of December, all of January and Feb
ruary, and the first part of March Overseas
Highway figures reveal that about $4,000
persons visited Key West during the
period.
Excluding local travel and the arrival
of army and navy personnel, it should be
cafe 10 say that two-thirds of the persons
coming here over the highway are tourists
Probably the percentage of tourists is a lit
e higher than that, but to be safe, call it
two-thrds and you get total of about 49,,
500 visitors, exclusive of the armed forces
No accurate figures are available on
how long visitors remain in Key West, but
balancing the one-day sightseers against
those who stay for periods up to the entire
season. it should be safe to say that the
average is at leest two days, which would
mean that this city gets about $435,000 or
not much less than half million dollars out
CT it's tourist season.
To Key Vests problem of increasing
the size of the jackpot, the answers are
more tourists, longer stay. or a combination
of the two Before next season rolls
around it would be good idea for someone
TO give little thought to the easier of the
answers, which is to provide reasons fora
longer stay, with a consequent increase in
the number of five-dollar bills.
