Show Safety Council stresses loss from accidents The 450 persons who lost their lives in Utah, as the result re-sult of accidents of all kinds, during the first ten months of this year cannot now be recovered. re-covered. The Utah Safety Council points out, however, that 100 more persons will probably pro-bably be killed in the same manner between now and New Year's Day. These lives have been and will be lost in traffic, the home, occupational and recreational rec-reational activities, and miscellaneous miscel-laneous accidents i n public places. Accompanying these 500-plus deaths will be thousands of badly injured persons and over $40,000,000 in economic losses. The total score will be far and away the most terrible and costly crime to have been committed com-mitted in the state in this or any other year, according to , the Council. It will mean, also, a per capita cost of over $40 for every man, woman and child in the state, aside from the grevous personal suffering involved. One half of this terrible ter-rible loss will have been suffered suf-fered as the result of traffic mishaps. The crime will not, generally speaking, be premeditated, but the result of carelessness, ignorance, ig-norance, selfish violations of laws and ordinances, and other kinds of physical failures. Only one vice-president has ever been elected to the highest office in the land without first serving out the term of a president pres-ident who died in office. That was Martin Van Buren, elected in 1836. |
