Show Thursday, January 15, 1953 Half of THE 1952 Utah Traffic Fatalities Involved Salt Lake, Foreign Approximately 22 per cent of the total traffic fatalities recorded in Utah during 1952 involved Salt Lake City drivers, and about 28 per cent Involved drivers, according to figures re leased today by the Utah Safety Council. Forty-si- x Salt Lake City drivers were involved in 40 fatal Drivers ling 65 persons. The total unmber of traffic acand cidents, fatal, personal-injurproperty damage, should be close to 18,000 over the state when final tabulations are completed, the safety council predicted. This will be substantially the same as 1951s. Salt Lake City's total accidents accidents which killed 55 persons, for 1931 and 1932 are numbering while 58 drivers were about the same, as are the in 50 fatal accidents kil- - fatal personal injuries, y, out-of-sta- te out-of-sta- te non-involv- There were 184 fatal accidents for the state during 1952, compared with 174 for 1951 or ten more such accidents, killing 36 more persons in 1932. This latter fact has been characteristic of the entire year and accounts for the total of 246 deaths. For example, three seperate accidents killed 22 persons, while 13 accidents filled 53 persons, or an av erage of better than four deaths accident in this per multiple-fata- l grouping. The Safety Council spoksman pointed out that it is not so much that we are having more accidents than before, but those we do have Page five SUN-ADVOCA- are more severe. This can be construed in two ways, complimentary to the average motorist because he is driving more carefully in the face of increased exposure, created by increased vehicle registration and individual car use, and condemnatory of that small fraction of drivers involved in accidents for making them so bad Heads Snow Fete 1 the board of county commissioners during 1953 will be held on Tuesdays twice each month, according to an ordinance, No. 61, which was adopted by the board at its first meeting last week. The ordinance was signed by Jesse V. Bryan, new comissioner chairman, and was enacted by an aye vote of the chairman and Taylor Turner and Eugene Coli, the other members of All when they do have them. This fact emphasizes again, in the opinion of the council, the belief that the public as a whole is favorably responding to the safety appeals of various groups, but that the small percentage of drivers haled into court and becoming involved in accidents are not responding. It was this belief that prompted the current scries of regional traffic court conferences which has as its principal objective establishing a uniform a schedule represents the very for traffic offenses. Such a schedual represents the very lowest an offender can expect to pay, and contemplates an abrupt increase for aggravated cases. The strict adherance to the scheme of this schedule should go for to remedy the problem of drivers who ignore safety appeals. This should deter them from repeating offenses in the only way they perhaps seem to understand, in the opinion of the Safety Council. The law of averages sooner or later catches up with these offend- ers by an accident which either or seriously injures them, and often others as well A recent double fatality involved a dnver who had a bad driving record over the past ten years. IIis final acci- dent was the one time, out of a hundred close shaves and traffic violations, when he did not escape, and should serve as a warning to others who think they can "get by with bad driving habits. Despite the relatively good of the large majority of good drivers, the fact that we seem to be killing annually over 200 people in traffic, injuring thousands of others, and suffering $20,000,000 in next meeting is slated for January 20 at 7:30 p.m. Tho subsequent meetings will be held alternately at 10:00 a.m. 2 :00p.m. and at 7:30 p.m. The last meeting of the year will bo held at 7:30 p.m. on De- Commissioners Set Schedule of Meetings for 1953 meetings of cember 22.

The rigid and stringent controls over reverse is equally true. It is up to vehicular travel are in the offing, the people themselves to decide. by state and local governments. Such stricter controls would be not only with respect to the driver licensing laws, but appli cable to actual traffic movement as well. Serious cosideration is even being devoted to proposals to organize a private citizen vigi lante system to watch over the action of fellow motorists. The only way such developements can be stalled off or blocked will be significant reductions in annual traffic tolls. The achievement of the latter rests largely upon the motorists and pedestrians themselves. This reflects the warning sounded last summer at the Gov ernors Safety Conference by Earl F.
