81 deaths per 10O,O0O,0OO motor vehicle
miles driven in 1860.
This is new record low, and con-
trasts with the So deaths per 100000
90 = set in 1858.
Therefore, while we are killing more
people on the highways, the ratio of
deaths per mile driven is decreasing.
This reflects some progress, although
not enough progress is being registered.
The death toll is still rising - and
every safety precaution possible should
be taken, especially by those going to
football games these Fall weekends.

Air Traffic Problems

THE collision of commercial air
liner and private aircraft near Or
lando, Florida, recently spotlights the
problem of increasing air congestion.
While we are building new airports,
and attempting to regulate air traffic,
nevertheless it is going to get worse as
more and more aircraft take to the air
days. And, with the jet, speeds will in
crease, and course changes = to avoid

In short, the nation needs larger
airports and more of them than we now
have. Airports, however, are highly ex-
pensive, and the number of them which
will be built must necessarily be limited.
Therefore, it seems that the major
source of increased safety available to
