He urged motorists TO keep

night driving as statistics show
that about out of every five traf-
fic deaths occur during the hours
of darkness, he said.
He pledged his committees sup

ellis campaign to Back the At
tack on Triffic Accidents" during
the holiday season and through
out 1857.
Traffic accidents claimed nine
lives in Minnesota highways last
Christmas and New Years week
ends, he pointed out.
For the nation as a whole last
Christmas week end, 500 highway
deaths were recorded-the great
est single holiday toll in history.
Another S64 persons were killed
in traffic accidents last New
Years weekend. he noted.
