Men Are Disciplined
Last year at this time. six
Fort Belvoir soldiers had been

the number is two dead and l3
injured. And officers point out
that one Of the deaths was Id

involved a service man struck

Rates of fatalities for the men
in uniform continue to decline.
In the District. the death toll
has dropped from 26 at this
time last year to 81 this year.
That is decrease of 10 per
cent.
In the rest of the area, IA
talities have risen from % at

year, an increase of 81 per cent.
Comparisons Noted
This is the comparison:
Alexandria-One death last
year at this time. four this year.
Arlington-One last year. two
this year.
Fairfax-Six last year, IL this
year (only three less than the
total for all of last year,.
Montgomery-Three last year,

Prince Georges-Seventeen last
year. % this year (the largest
number of dead in any nearby
Jurisdiction, but the smallest
percentage of increase.)
Contrasted with the general
rise in traffic deaths, is the pic
ture compiled by the military.
One Of the worst death traps
for servicemen used to be Route

Woodbridge, where Route / and
Shirley highway join. In the
past year, headlines told repeat
edly Of smashups involving men

and from Fort Belvoir.
Both bases have set up special
safety programs and the Marines

patrolling a 29-mile stretch Of
Route / from Fredericksburg to
just north Of Woodbridge.
Results Impressive
The results have been impress
sive.
In 1855, eight Quantico Ma
rines were killed and 66 were
injured in accidents on the 29-

special highway patrol began OPP
