The
Rambler
Wishes You
A Happy New Year
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

A Happy New Year to
President John Fitzgerald
Kennedy (no relation) and
the seasons greetings to him
despite his unPuritan-like
avoidance of a white Christ
mas.
May he be as successful in
1868 as he was in 1862.
And to the members of the
Association of the Oldest In
habitants of the District of
Columbia, many of whom re-
member when they would
adjourn their New Years day
noon meeting to go to the
White House in a body and
greet the President.
Coolidge was the last
President, I believe, to carry
on the tr traditional open
house.
A Happy and a frigid New
Year to Jerome Namias, head
of the Extended Forecast
Branch of the Weather Bu-
reau, who, early in Deem
Der predicted in this column
that we were going to be in
for a severe winter.
Unlike the aStrologers of
the almanacs, Mr.. Namias'
method is scientific. His pre-
diction is based on more
than a million data from
weather observations all over
the Northern Hemisphere
tabulated by an IBM 7O9O all
tranSistor computor. I think
he has something going
there.
And a Happy New Year to
the member of the Epicu-
rean Society, the club of the
chefs, and success to their
efforts to bring la grande
cuisine to this national capi-
tai.

/
The old year, 1862, will go
down in history as the worst
the Washington area has ever
had in terms of traffic fatal
Iities.
Area police officials reported
there were 228 persons killed in
accidents involving motor We
hicles in Washington and the
nearby areas of Maryland and
Virginia during 1862.
This is an increase of nearly
25 per cent over 1861 when l78
persons died on the streets and
highways Of the national capi-
tai area.
The records show that so
more persons died last year
than in 1851. Last year was, in
turn, infinitely better than 1860
when 213 persons were killed in
traffic accidents. In 1859, there
were 179 deaths in the area.
For the first time, the city
of Washington was outStripped
last year by one of its surround
ing counties in traffic carnage.
Prince Georges County, Md,
recorded 70 fatalities in 1862,
compared with Washington's
SIS. The figure for the Maryland
County was Is more than the 54
deaths recorded in 1861,
Arlington, smallest county in
the United States, more than
doubled its traffic deaths. The
1 Virginia community reported
10 deaths in 1862 as compared
with only 7 in 1861.
Second worst record in the
area was that of the District
of Columbia which had five
more traffic deaths than the go
of 1861.
Montgomery Increases
Montgomery County Joined in
| the general increases in traffic
deaths with 30 over the l9 of
the prior year.
In total accidents, the Dis
trict again set a new record in
1862. The hub city of the area
had 24,497 accidents last year
compared with 23,042 the year
before, according to metropoli-
tan police reports.
George A. England, the Dis
trirt's Director Of Motor We
hicles, called for a new look"
at the cause of traffic fatal
lities in view of the rising tide
Iof drinking drivers and pedes-
trian deaths here. He said in
a special report that there was
a 35 per cent increase in the
number Of District deaths and
declared drinking drivers we're
involved in Al per cent of the
fatalities.
Speed was a factor in 80 per
cent of the fatal accidents.
I'm addition TO the perennial
twin killers, speed and alcohol, I"
Mr. England said, "the major
causes Of accidents are those
which reflect carelessness, in
attention and a general lack of
awareness Of the hazards of
driving"
He called for full support
of the District-sponsored "im-
piled consent" bill on chemical
