The death of Walker Hud- | nall, son. husband ‘and father |

in one, was a stunning loss to his family. But to state police, the insurance company and other groups such as the National Safety Council. his death was a mark in a colum n of statistics. » » »

THOSE marks add up. Recorded figures show that 942.000 persons have died in automobile traffic accidents in the past 48 years, or nearly a million since self-propelled vehicles were first tried out. Long holidays bring the highest number of tragedies. For many persons,”this Fourth will be a four-day vacation. An esfi- | mated 36 million motor vehicles will be on the move. Unless drivers are careful, the toll by Thursday will exceed the 347 immediate « traffic deaths rolled up over the Me-

morial Day week-end in the

United States this vear. The National. Safety Council

has a warning which, it is

hoped, will be widely noticed. “Remember that excessive

speed is involved in one out of’

three fatal accidents—and take it easy on the Fourth to be alive on the fifth.”
