Columbus County would get
nearly a SIS million share of

said this week that: Under

get $250,000 spread over a five

that quarter of a million dol

hon from the first 500 mil
lion would be allocatcd to the

Under present provisions Of
the bill. Columbus County
with 529 miles Of unpavcd
roads would get Sis million
with an estimated one half of
Tins sum going To the buildina
of secondary roads.
Sources in the Legislature
say the issue could be carried
without an increase in any
taxes, including gasoline taxes.
Legislators explain financ-
ing the bond issue this wav:

places. and work following in
that order In 1862. the death
rate per 100000 population for
the principal types of accidents
were. m tor vehicles, 22.0:
falls. 1917; fires ard burns, 40:
drowning. "a: railroads. l2::
firearms and explosions, IL.
poison gases. 08; and other POI
sons, G.9.
Because OF organized safety
efforts. tho rate Of accidental
deaths has dropped over the
years in spite of the growth in
population. This is true eXpecial
" in industry where proven
ton methods have been applied
with the greatest precision. On
the Job deaths due to accidents
have declined nearly so per cent
during the past 50 years despite
the fact that the work force al
most doubled Likewise. deaths
due to firearms accidents have
declined 30 per cert during the
past 50 years although the num-
her Of licensed hunters has more
than doubled during the period
to over - million.
A significant factor III the
drastic drop in deaths due to
firearms accidents is the nation
wide NRA Hunter Safety Course
which was inaugurated in 1850.
Based or the conviction that the
educational approach is the most
effective method of reducing the
number of gun accidents in the
hunting field. this program is
conducted by the National Rifle
Association of America in coop
Grafton with the game depart
nents OF 81 states and two Ca
madam PROVINCES. Over $4,000
dedicated NRA Certified Hunter
Safety Instructors have taught
craftsmanship and safe gun
handing TO more than two mil
lion individuals who have COM
pleted the course. AS a result.
the death rate due TO firearms
accidents dropped p per cent
from 1852 to 1862
Available statistics show that
approximately 1000 individuals
lose their lives each year due
to accidents with firearms More
than half Of these accidents,
about % per cent. occur III the
home. For this reason. the MIRA
Home Firearms Safety Course
has been iraugurated It's pur-
pose is TO bring information TO

Safety is positive. 1t is doing
things the right way. The deval-
opment of a sense of individual
responsibility and an attitude of
mind conducive to the avoidance
OF accidents. and the general
promotion of education to in
crease the safety of men, wom-
en-, and children is a true pub
l!c service. 1t is American in
concept and its strength lies in
the voluntary participation and
