ACCIDENTS DUE
TO TRAFFIC
Greatest Single Cause OF
Death Among Children
1 to IA Years of Age
SAFETY PROGRAM

In these words, Clifford T. Fos-
ter, Vice-President for Public
Safety of the Delaware Safety
Council today labeled traffic acci-
dents the greatest single cause of
death among children 1 to IA
years old-a cause that claims
hundreds more victims annually
than cancer, it's closest competitor
for this gruesome title. Speaking
on behalf of the current Child
Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety
program which the Delaware Safe
ty Council is sponsoring in COOP
Grafton with the National Safety
Council, Mr.. Foster said, Con
trary to general opinion, neither
cancer nor pneumonia, tuberculo-
sis nor polio, takes as high a toll
of young lives as traffic acci-
dents" Quoting statistics for 1850
(the latest year for which figures
on deaths from disease are avail
able) Mr.. Foster showed that traf-
fic accidents were the leading
cause of death among children
from 1 to IA years of age. Traffic
accidents claimed 1865 victims, he
said, while cancer accounted fol-
1856 pneumonia for 2,821, tuber-
culosis for 1858, and polio fol
S62. 1.-THE great tragedy in this
whole picture is that most of this
child slaughter on the highways is
unnecessary" he said. I'm the
majority of cases, traffic accidents
are due to somebody's careless
ness. If we would just substitute
careful walking, driving and bike
riding for the careless variety SO
often practiced, the child traffic
toll could be reduced sharply over
night" Mr.. Foster urged parents
