"Could we dare to hope that this one year's reduction in street and highway fatalities is the fruit of the efforts of agencies of the Federal government, the individual states, private industry and the many individual groups devoted to the promotion of greater safety? Mr. Tooker asked. If so, he continued, "we must urge them to even greater effort and to give them our earnest, active support After all, the deaths of more than 52,000 people and the injury of more than 4,000,000 others in one year is small cause for rejoicing, even though it represents some improvement over another year. Comparisons are odious unless they afford some ultimate betterment of the human condition, he added. WE ARE TRAVELING a long road fraught with many hazards,1. Mr. Tooker said. Only caution on the part of every traveler will bring him and others on the road safely to the next stage of our journey. How will the facts and figures read for 1968? Then how about next year?
