The total for 1967 was 275, a reduction comsignificant pared with 1966; and for the first seven months of 1968 tiie Improvement continued, running up to 30 deaths below the , previous year. . TURNING point If this downtrend had con- tinued, it would, perhaps, have marked a historic turn- -' fng point and showed Utah was on its way to solving its traffic death problem. - - But something went wrong during the final quarter of the . ; and traffic deaths year, climbed steadily until they ended up well ahead of 1967. Experts like G. Ernest Bourne and Milton F. Hart-- . vigsen, director and president of the Utah Safety Council, are frankly scratching their heads over the situation. L- - Similarly puzzled is Raymond Jackson, Utah commissioner of public safety. They feel the answer lies somewhere in the enigmatic mentality of the Utah driver. Nothing else roads, in- creased travel, weather can account fcr the abrupt about-fac- e in traffic deaths. Utah's traffic death toil hovered around the 200 mark, but, propelled by the ever increasing number of drivers, vehicles, and miles traveled, it has climbed steadily. In 1960 it exceeded 250 and four years later was in the vicinity of 300, around which it has fluctuated the last four years.
