If you want clean town = town you can be

tanners. Put rubbish where it belongs. We've all
been guilty of such careessness in the past-but we'll
have to be more careful from now Remember
don't throw rubbish in the streets. It's just easy
to put it in the rubbish containers That's little
thing to remember-but it'll be big thing in cleaning
UP the town.
And housewives you dreading the job of
cleaning out that attic? Don't put it off Accumulated

Accident Records Reveal
Pedestrian Negligence

A record of pedestrian accidents
in Maryland for 1948, compiled by
the Traffic Collision Statistical
Bureau in cooperation with the
Maryland State Police, reveals a
very significant fact most of
them are avoidable.
During the calendar year, there
were 1863 fatal accidents recorded
for Maryland in which 100 pedes-
TRANS were killed. This means
1890 of all fatal accidents we're
collisions of motor vehicles with
human beings.
The records show that 749o of
these pedestrian fatalities occurred
between intersections and were, in
the most part, due to pedestrian
negligence. Carelessly crossing the
road, coming from behind parked
cars, walking with traffic at night
in dark attire or other negligence
accounts for 500 of the pedes-
trian fatalities between intersect-
ions while the other 400 showed
evidence of the deceased being
under the influence of alcohol.
An interesting development in
pedestrian statistics is the fact
that although there are more pc
destrians struck by motor vehicles
during the daylight hours, the
fatality rate is higher at night.
This is attributed to the fact that
pedestrians are less visible at
night, especially attired in dark
clothing.
The number of pedestrians kill
ed and injured in Maryland dur
ing l948 total the near equivalent
of the entire population of Laurel,
Maryland.
IF a huge feet of cars and
trucks were to invade Laurel and
kill or injure almost every man,
woman and child there, in a single
foray, worldwide notice would be
excited" is a notation in the re-
poiN oldIt-WluC III SCOpt anu SCdb-
tered as to date, the 2,7lS humans
killed and injured in 194S did not
arouse much interest except to
those near and dear to the victims.
Nevertheless, the fact remains that
they represent the equivalent of
1.-THE population of a fair sized
town.
Another factor pertaining to the
negligent pedestrian is worthy of
concern. While there is not a single
instance on record in the State
where driver of a motor vehicle
has intentionally struck a pedes-
trian, there are many instances
where drivers have jeopardized
their own lives and the lives of
their passengers to avoid negligent
pedestrians.
The figures on pedestrian acct
dents are appalling. To correct this
situation and place Maryland on
a par with some of the other states
which have more favorable expert
