| TRAFFIC DEATH

RATE IN NATION | ISRISING AGAIN

- One Per Cent Gain in June

Reported Over | Year Ago; Toll in State- Down.

— CHICAGO, July 28 (U. Py—

« Traffic safety campaigns have hit a " red light and death hds gained the

advantage on the nation’s highways, the National Safety. Council announced today. The campaigns had shown, during a 17-month period starting in November, 1937, and ending in

March this year, a decrease in; |

deaths each month over the same month of the preceding year. ' Indiana fatalities for the first six

“months of 1939, showed a drop of 33 from 466" fatalities for the same period last year. The state had 75 fatalities in June, this year; compared to 88 during June last year.

City Ranks 14th

Indianapolis ranked 14th in the Pr cities between 250,000 and 500,000

population with a death rate of

13.4 (based on the number of deaths per 100,000 population). The city had 25 fatalities.-for the first six months of 1939, compared to 34 for the same period last year, and six during June, this year, compared to % for that month in 1938. In April, this year, trafic deaths

in the nation equaled those of April, 1638. In May they were only 1 “per cent below those of May, 1938. ~In June they increased 1 per cent ' over those of June, 1938—the first

time that had happened in 20

~~ months.

The June death total was 2330,

only 20 more than in June last . year.

More Killed in Rural Areas

“The slump in traffic improvement is especially serious,” the Council said, “in view of the fact that the nation now is in the vaca-

- tion period when traffic deaths and

death rates almost’ invariably increase sharply. “The nation can blame rural areas

- for the fact that its sustained traf- : fic safety drive has bogged down| . after bringing a cumulative saving

of 8782 lives. Cities reduced their

"© deaths 8 per cent in June from the : same month last year, but this im-

provement was overcome by a 7

: per cent fatality increase on rural : highways. Increase in rural deaths «in April and May also offset re-

ductions made by cities.

tree on the ground. It then will be loaded on a heavy duty truck and hauled over reinforced concrete bridges to Indianapolis as a Civilian Conservation Corps project. The butt log will weight about 30 tons and will contain enough board feet to build a seven-room house, inside and outside. The tree is 21 feet in circumference. It is on the John C. Blood estate and the estate is making the State a present of it. The remainder of the tree will be sawed into lumber and used on the farms.
