1913 DEATHLESS DAYS

Our Registrar of Motor Vehicles, the
Honorable Rudolph F. King, whose de-
termination to cut down the States auto
mobile traffic toll, preferably by construc-
tive means, extends considerably further
than the use of wards, was browsing
through accident records this week. His
eye met one that seemed Enthusiastically i'm
possible.
According to the figures in his office,
PrOvincetown had not had fatal auto
mobile accident since December 6, 1891
He buzzed for stenographer and
dictated letter to the police department
here.
Records here show that Province
town has enjoyed 1913 successive days
without death due to an automobile &C
cident up to the end of 1948," he said, in
effect, and asked for confirmation so that
he could give the town 'some real pub
licity."
The chief of the department here re-
piled at once saying that the records GER
tainly seemed to support the Registrars
findings.
Certain this is a most enviable record
and one that is made even more commend
able by the fact that our Julys and Augusts
are an endless traffic snarl with far too
many cars in far too small space. Visitors
use the whole of Commercial Street as
sidewalk. They pop out of shops, flush
with the road without warning, and dart
out of blind lanes the same way. The same
precautions must be used in moving
through the boat crowd as through herd
of cows.
While Provineetown may not be large
as towns go, it has its own peculiar traffic
problems.
So this makes our record of 1913
"deathless days" even more commendable.
Evidently people do live longer here.
II isn't that it merely seems SO.
The Provincetown Advocate
