traffic Deaths Show Increase INDIANAPOLIS, Juno 6.— (INS) A 10-por cont incroaso in traffio fatalitioa clouded Indiana's highway safety program today. Arthur M. Thurston, state police superinteudent, reported the state's deaths in the first four months of 194f» placed Indiana in eighth position ahead of 40 other states in the number of persons killed. Deaths in the nation, however, showed only a three per cent increase. Thurston warned: “Danger on the highways will be at its peak in the approaching mouths. Summer weather and the vacation season will lead to increased traffic on the streets and highways and motorists will need to follow all safety measures to avoid accidents.’’ Traffic accidents in the first four months of 1949 took 309 dives. Last year 281 persons died on Hoosier streets and highways during four-month period. The largest number of deaths this year occurred in April. Eighty persons, an increase of 2!5 per cent over 1948, were killed. Provisional tabulations for May, 1949, show 85 persons fatally injured. When a final count •is available, this figure probably will equal or slightly exceed the

88 fatalities recorded in May.

1948.

Urban deaths, totaling 109, in* creased 15 per cent over last year in the first four months. Two hundred persons were killed in rural areas, representing an increase of eight per cent over a year ago. ^|+ + + -r4- + + + + '*’^ + ^j| ANNIVERSARIES Al + + + + + + + + Wedding Mr. and Mrs. Russell Mace - Cloverdale 23 years, June 5t’a.
