DATING EASyER

Easter is the happieSt of the ecclesiastical
observances during the year. This is natural,
in that Easter commentaries the Resur-
rection.
But for many years there were differ
ences of opinion on the proper date for the
observance of the Resurrection. 1t was final
" decided that the date should be the Sunday
following the first full moon after the Spring
equinox.
Since the Vernal Equinox occurs on
March 10th, 21st or 22nd, the date of Easter
shifts with the cycles of the moon, the moon
completing its own cycle every twenty-nine
days.
dates between March 22nd and April 25th.
This year Easter falls late, on the 21st of
April, almost q month later than is some
times the case.
THE TERRIFIC COST OF ACCIDENTS
It is most depressing to read that the
dollar cost of accidents in this country is
rising. One reliable estimate puts last years
total cost at the staggering figure of $1O,00O,-
100000.
This total includes damages, benefit pay
ments, loss of pay, loss of production, doctor
and hospital bills, with perhaps half of the
total being chargeable to highway mishapS.
With the heavy-travel season just now get
ting underway for 1857, there are those who
are fearful of what this years accident toll
will be.
While some safety officials pin their
hopes for reducing the motor vehicle toll to
the new national-highway building program,
others fear that the increase in the driver
population and the number Of motor vehicles
on the highways will cause the accident fig
ureS to climb even higher.
Motor vehicle fatalities in 1856 brought
record of $4,000 life insurance death claims,
with payments amounting to approximately
$97, 100000. This was 5000 more claims and
100000 more in benefits than was paid in
the preceding year.
But, however high the economic and hui
man loss from injuries and death from motor
vehicle accidents. the loss from other types
of accidents has also risen. On-the-j job acci-
dents cost industry and workers about S3,-
5O0,OO0,0O0 last year, according to figures re-
leased by the Institute for Safer Living of
the American Mutual Liability Insurance
cost much more-nearly $500 100000 with
highway accidents being included in both
categories.
Increased leisure time and higher incomes
enable more people to travel these dayS-all
too often into danger. The fact that so many
workers seem to sustain more accidents
causing time and production loss while away
from their jobs than while at work has caus-
ed a number of companies to set up safety
clauses, urging precautions at recreation,
around the home and on the road.
1t is both interesting, and alarming, to
note how the Institutes estimate Of $1O,000,-
100000 cost, which is termed "a total econo-
mic loss," compares with the outlook for
Federal and state-highway construction this
year, which is expected to cost taxpayers
$11, 1,00O, 100000, but not total" loss.
