King Thursday, November 24, 1955 SUN-ADVOCA- day-by-d- ay SAFE DRIVING DAY President Eisenhower, in proclaiming the nationwide observance of Safe Driving Day on December 1, has emphasized two aspects of the drive against traffic accidents in this country. First, that such an urgent plea should be made by the leader of our country to walk and to drive safely reveals not only the national concern over traffic problems but also the belief that the solution lies in a strong appeal to mass sentiment and action. Second, such a presidential appeal voices the conviction that traffic accidents CAN be prevented by organized mass attack. Just how serious is the traffic problem in this country aftthis time? Last year, the National Safety Council estimates 36,000 ... people were killed and 1,250,000 inj fired in traffic accidents. The total cost of th$se accidents (including property damage, medical expense, wage loss, insurance costs, e,tc.) amounted to $4,400,000,000. The causes of traffic accidents, while usually recognized as a complexity of factors each aiding and abetting the other, are drunk driving, speed, traffic violations in general, those driving mannerisms grouped under the general heading of reckless or careless ing. While the fever curve of the traffic death rate has shown sporadic spurts upward as in the prewar jitters and the postwar jubilation of World War II it has shown a downward trend during the past ten years. The death rate last year, despite increases in population, travel, and motorists, was the lowest on record : 6.4 persons for every 100 million miles of travel. The drive against traffic accidents in this country is not a new battle, but over the years it has grown to such a size that it has now become a national issue. In this cam ...
