RICHMOND, Va, Mar. 26.-Men
have more accidents than women,
but there are more men drivers and
they probably drive more miles than
women. Which is safer7 That's
debatable.
A report released today by Capt.
w. L. Groth, State police safety
engineer, shows approximately IL
times as many men as women were
involved in accidents during 1947.
While these figures are signifi-
cant, Capt. Groth said, they do not
mean that women are safer drivers.
That will always be open to debate,
because there has yet been no re-
search into the number OF miles
driven by each sex. This would be
the only way to make an accurate
comparison, he said.
Figures show 1896 male drivers
were involved in trafiic accidents in
the State last year. OF these, 1872
were in fatal mishaps. During the

same period only 1896 women were
in accidents, 36 of them fatal.
Capt. Groth pointed out that Sat-
urday was the most dangerous day
for the motorist during 1947, with
6,78s accidents. Sunday was second
with 4.436, followed by Friday with
1920.
A total of 2,545 accidents was re-
corded from S to s pm.-the most
dangerous hour last year - while
from a fatality standpoint, to 8
pm. was the worst hour, with SO
deaths.
Capt. Groth stressed that 23,563
mishaps happened in clear weather
while there were only 3,753 in rainy
weather and only 1,105 during snow
and sleet.
Pedestrians accounted for 378 of
Virginia's I'll fatalities in 1947
Eight bicycle riders were killed.
The report set economic losses
from accidents during the year at
approximately $32. 1875 900, of which
$7.24l 1856 was reported as property
damage.

Ambition School
Building Program
BY the Associatsd Press

BALTIMORE, Mar. 26.-A $47,-
100000 building program in Mary
lands school system is under way or
ready to be let on contract, Gov.
Lane said last night. =
He said the task of bringing plant
facilities in State schools up to ac-
ceptable standards" Is better than
half accomplished" -"
Despite an increase Of $4,000 stu
dents in county schools since 1945,
Gov. Lane declared the number in
the average class room has been re-
duced from nearly 40 to q little
over 80.
He attributed this to>higher sal
aries which he said have attracted
more than 1900 new teachers into
county schools alone.
Gets Encouragement.
The Governor quoted DR.. Thomas
G. Pullen, State superintendent of
schools. that he was more en-
couraged than ever before -" with
the outlook for improvements in
education"
In radio broadcast on the 314th
anniversary OF the founding of
Maryland. Gov. Lane referred to
the period since the 1947 general
assembly adopted his administra-
tion's program as "a year Of prog
ress for the State"
When his administration took
over not quite Is months ago, Gov.
Lane said, the State financially was
"just keeping its head above water." i"
The chief executive also reviewed
his administrations record on roads
and conditions in mental hospitals
and other institutions.
Cites Highway Program.
He noted five-year, 5000 O,00o, 900
highway program represented a cost
equal to the value of all the high
ways built in Maryland since the
beginning Of its road system in 1908.
He said the Pulaski highway is to
be resurfaced from Martin Boule-
ward toward Aberdeen. Also on the
current program are new Eastern
and Western Shore approaches to
the ferry terminals.
The ferry approaches, Gov. Lane
added. will eventually be used as
approaches to the Chesapeake Bay
crossing.
Gov. Lane feels lit is still pos
sible" that construction of the pro-
posed bay bridge or tunnel will be
well under way this year"
